Dentists justifiably bridle at having to compromise what they believe, based on evidence, is in the patients' best interests based on reimbursement rules of benefits providers. Benefits providers justifiably bridle at having to pay for services not contracted by those who purchase insurance. A particular case involving performing multiple quadrants of root planing at a single appointment is used as an example of this tension. One alternative is for the profession and the industry to seek to negotiate a win-win joint position. Another is for a few to game the system, which only makes it more difficult to reach ethical common ground.

Disruptive innovation is a process whereby companies or industries that have succeeded in the past by producing ever more sophisticated and expensive products and services end up losing their customer base because eventually others enter to serve a market more in line with true consumer needs. The U.S. oral health system has followed this path and is now perfectly positioned for disruptive innovation. Among the innovations that are already disrupting the industry and will increasingly do so are consolidation of dental practices, bringing care to where people are through telehealth- health connected teams and Virtual Dental Homes, and payment systems that provide incentives for lowering costs and improving the health of the population.

After 70 years of community water fluoridation in the United States, still over 100 million people do not have the benefits of dietary fluoride. The saturation level may have been reached. Salt fluoridation can be an adjunct method for improving children's dental health in noncommunity water fluoridation areas. It is used worldwide and the World Health Organization recommends it when water fluoridation is not feasible as it is equally effective in the prevention and control of dental caries. The author calls for a debate on this proposal by organized dentistry.

This investigation describes the factors associated with patients' initial decisions to seek dental care, including the corresponding number of visits and the types of services received during a dental visit episode. Data came from the nationally representative Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS). Episode-specific dental visits were further classified into three categories, based on type of services received: preventive, treatment-based, or a combination. Among individuals with a visit episode, 78% of the episodes consisted of a single visit. Within an episode, as the number of visits increased, the proportion of initial visits that were of the preventive type decreased.The findings showed that the primary driver of oral healthcare utilization in the United States is preventive care. As new health policy is developed, it is hoped that prevention will remain a central focus in dentistry and that all segments of the population will be able reap its benefits.
