Bisphenol A and dental sealants Recent state and national news reports have indicated the potential danger Bisphenol A (BPA) can have on human development and reproduction. Some reports incorrectly cite dental sealants as a product that contains BPA. Rather, sealants contain bisphenol A glycidyl methacrylate (bis-GMA), which is an entirely separate compound from BPA. The dangers of spit tobacco Chew, dip, pinch or snuff - no matter what you call it, smokeless tobacco is bad news. The whole look of using smokeless tobacco is bad - from the bulge in the cheek to those brown stained teeth. What is periodontal disease? Tooth decay and periodontal disease are two of the main conditions that affect our dental health. Most people have a good knowledge of tooth decay. While public awareness of the periodontal disease, gingivitis, is increasing, general knowledge of the most serious periodontal disease, periodontitis, is limited.
