People with diabetes are more prone to gum disease, due to the damage the chronic illness does to small blood vessels, a new study warns.

People were 21% more likely to have moderate or severe gum dise...

“Extra-hard” chewing gum is being touted on social media as a means of developing a chiseled jawline.

This sort of gum is promoted as a gym for “facial fitness,” toning and tightening the muscles around the jaw.

“These products have very limited scientific research,” said <...

Many people with chipped, worn or indelibly stained teeth may ponder the possibility of veneers. They're wholly cosmetic, typically aren't covered by dental insurance and can cost thousands of dollars, so it's best to understand veneers well before you embark on getting them.

    Analysis of a "chemical score" from mouth lesion swab samples might allow patients to skip painful biopsies, getting oral cancers promptly diagnosed in a noninvasive way, scientists report.

    Right now, dentists and other specialists must send excised tissues from suspicious mouth lesions to labs for standard biopsies, which are costly and invasive.

    However, researchers at Case Weste...

    New guidelines from the American Dental Association (ADA) are cracking down on the use of opioids for tooth pain.

    The heavy lead apron dentists drape over you during dental X-rays may soon be a thing of the past.

    Dentists use a small brush to gently collect cells from potentially cancerous lesions inside the mouth, researchers write in the journal Cancer Medicine.

    The sample is then analyzed for g...

    New research in mice is pointing to a surprising connection: Gum disease could exacerbate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

    A person's toothbrush could be a true lifesaver if they land in a hospital ICU, according to new evidence review.

    If you're getting a tooth pulled or having another painful dental procedure, you're much less likely to get opioids than you were just a few years ago, new research reveals.

    But there was a bit of bad news in the findings: Efforts to reduce opioid ...

    That heavy lead apron you wear at the dentist's office when getting X-rays may no longer be necessary.

    While intended to shield patients from radiation exposure anywhere that isn't the jaw, the X-ray equipment used in dental offices today is quite safe compared to those of the past.
