Superbugs spread to 40 nations, threatening India’s medical tourism.

2011 Survey of Dental Care Affordability and Accessibility: Highlights from the Nationally Representative Survey (Prof D Neil & C Govan, The University of Southern California)
Dental healthcare in America today…
Substantial economic and practical barriers to quality dental healthcare persist in America today. Approximately 50% of Americans lack dental insurance and, in 2010, dental premiums increased at a higher rate than medical insurance premiums (NADP). The US Surgeon General described the barriers to quality, affordable care as a “silent epidemic,” leading to 164 million hours of lost productivity annually. Individuals without dental insurance are dramatically less likely to get recommended care and thus are more likely to develop the major health conditions (e.g., diabetes, heart disease, stroke) linked with poor oral health.

Association Between Respiratory Disease in Hospitalized Patients and Periodontal Disease: A Cross-Sectional Study
"Recent research indicated that periodontal infection may worsen systemic diseases, including pulmonary disease. Respiratory infections, such as pneumonia and the exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, involve the aspiration of bacteria from the oropharynx into the lower respiratory tract."
Conclusion: "The findings of the present analysis support an association between respiratory and periodontal disease."
(Journal of Periodontology, August 2011, Vol. 82:8, pp. 1155-1160).
Removal of dental funds a disaster, experts say (Sydney Morning Herald, 30 Aug 2011)
"The drastic funding cut will put further pressure on the dysfunctional public dental system in NSW and will have flow-on effects to the broader health of the community, according to Hans Zoellner, who is the head of oral pathology at the University of Sydney".
"To pretend people are going to be adequately served by the public system, which is already failing, is farcical," he said.
"Untreated tooth and gum diseases have been linked with an increased risk of vascular conditions such as heart attack and stroke, and themselves cause great suffering".
"There are people walking around in Australia with great festering abscesses in their heads they can't afford to treat," said Associate Professor Zoellner, who is also the chairman of the Association for the Promotion of Oral Health.
