Dear Doctor, a digital dental magazine for the general public

Dear Doctor is a digital publication specializing in dentistry and oral health, presented as a magazine written exclusively by dental health professionals and aimed at educating the general public. Its content is organized around articles, videos and themed sections covering different areas of dentistry.

Topics covered

• Pediatric Dentistry
• Endodontics

Featured editorial content

Among the articles featured in its issues are topics such as total tooth replacement using implants placed in stages rather than all at once, an option the magazine describes as a way to reduce initial treatment costs while preserving natural teeth as long as possible. It also addresses tooth decay, identified as the most common disease in the world, and the factors that influence the likelihood of developing it.

Other content covers so-called "holistic" dentistry, understood as dentistry that addresses the connection between oral health and overall health, and the distinction between trends without scientific support and evidence-based practices. The publication also includes articles on permanent teeth that become loose in adults due to gum disease, dental trauma or do-it-yourself dental treatments; on tooth extraction as part of orthodontic treatment, considering factors such as bite, jaw size and the number and size of teeth; on what to do when a tooth is knocked out to increase the chances of saving it; on vaping and its relationship to oral health; and on dry socket as a painful but not dangerous complication of oral surgery.

Sections and format
