The award-winning Journal of the Massachusetts Dental Society is published quarterly and contains a variety of articles on treatment methods, clinical diagnosis, medical and dental research, and professional and business information of interest to dentists.
Clinicians are often afforded a number of treatment options when faced with a compromised tooth. The challenge is determining when to apply each treatment modality and obtaining the maximum benefit for the patient.

Published twice annually, Word of Mouth is a consumer publication created as an avenue to communicate important dental health information to the public. Articles in Word of Mouth come from dental health care professionals of the American Dental Society and the Massachusetts Dental Society, as well as other sources.
In this day and age, an earring stud or hoop protruding out of someone’s tongue or lip is not an unusual sight. Today, body piercings are seen as a fashion statement, worn as accessories—as innocuous as wearing a ring or a necklace. Some view it as art, while others view it as a form of expressing their identity. However, oral piercing, which involves the tongue, lips, or cheeks, has actually been implicated in a number of harmful dental conditions and could be a potential risk to your health. So when it comes to making a fashion statement with oral piercing, you’re better off just saying “pierce out.”
