What your tongue says about your health Penn In the News Shape.com What your tongue says about your health Dental School of Medicine dean Mark Wolff explained what the tongue can reveal about a person’s health, such as vitamin deficiencies. “So many nutrient-bound conditions just pop right out on the tongue,” he said. Ashley Graham reveals her ‘cracked tooth’ on Instagram—Here’s what to know Penn In the News Health.com Ashley Graham reveals her ‘cracked tooth’ on Instagram—Here’s what to know Dean Mark Wolff of the School of Dental Medicine spoke about the increased popularity of dental veneers. "Sometimes, the shape of the teeth and the cosmetics of teeth are so bad that there's just no way to do anything about it without literally covering the tooth," he said. "A porcelain veneer can cover the tooth without actually doing a lot of damage to the tooth." A chewing gum that could reduce SARS-CoV-2 transmission A chewing gum that could reduce SARS-CoV-2 transmission In experiments using saliva samples from COVID-19 patients, the gum, which contains the ACE2 protein, neutralized the virus, according to research led by School of Dental Medicine scientists. ‘Nanozyme’ therapy prevents harmful dental plaque buildup Pairing iron oxide nanoparticles with hydrogen peroxide results in a precisely targeted treatment for killing harmful oral bacteria, breaking down dental plaque, and even diagnosing harmful oral biofilms, according to a new study. (Image: Courtesy of the study authors) ‘Nanozyme’ therapy prevents harmful dental plaque buildup An iron-oxide nanoparticle that is FDA-approved to treat anemia acts as an enzyme to activate hydrogen peroxide to suppress the growth of tooth-decay-causing biofilms in the human mouth, according to a study led by the School of Dental Medicine. 7 superfoods for your teeth Penn In the News AARP.org 7 superfoods for your teeth Dean Mark Wolff of the School of Dental Medicine said low-sugar, high-fiber diets can help protect teeth and gums. “You’re not just feeding yourself—you’re feeding all the good and bad bacteria that live in your mouth,” he said. A two-pronged approach to keep rheumatoid arthritis in check Painful inflammation characterizes rheumatoid arthritis, but a new study points to a possibly strategy to alleviate it: boosting levels of the protein DEL-1. A two-pronged approach to keep rheumatoid arthritis in check A new study led by George Hajishengallis of the School of Dental Medicine shows that the protein DEL-1 could reduce the painful inflammation of RA in an animal model. Smart dental implants A “smart” dental implant could improve upon current devices by employing biofilm-resisting nanoparticles and a light powered by biomechanical forces to promote health of the surrounding gum tissue.
