They ran the usual list - paps, digitals, cholesterol, mammograms, colonoscopies, blood sugar, PSAs. I watched and waited and was not surprised that NEVER was any mention made of taking care of oral health PERIOD - even getting your teeth cleaned - much less have an oral examination for any changes. I was so disappointed that the national media and "health" experts still don't get it! No wonder!....just wondering....

Getting them interested in the story, is like pulling teeth.......
