Promo graphic for episode 1021 of Public Health On Call titled Antibiotic Overuse in Dentistry. Additional text reads: Research shows that a large share of antibiotic prescribed by dentists may be unnecessary.
Dentists prescribe about 10% of all antibiotics in the U.S., but research shows that a large share may be unnecessary.
@lizszabo.bsky.social discusses the grave public health risks of inappropriate antibiotic use and how it can be curbed.

Exactly. This is why you don't make announcements like that before you have the evidence.
Good to know. I’m only 6 months into EV ownership, so I’m still learning.
They really make it hard it on us.
I don’t agree with Sammy Hagar’s assertion that there’s only one way to rock. I think there are numerous ways to rock.
FDA has held several of these “on background” briefings with top officials in recent months.
Yes, it is a luxury to have 2 cars.
I have a 2023 ID4 and that was one of the issues making me hesitant, but so far my experience has been good (*finds some wood to knock on).
Wasn't perceived as criticism at all. I'm interested in trying to do some road trips this summer to see how it works out.
I certainly know I could do a long road trip, it would just take planning and I would have to factor in time to charge.
I feel the same way, and I wasn't even a huge fan of the original.
I think having one EV and one gas or hybrid is the way to go until the range increases. I like my EV, but I'm not ready to do a long road trip yet.
The COVID vaccine myocarditis signal was real, and science caught it. With today's formulations, that risk is back to baseline. So why is ACIP's March agenda still stuck in 2021? 🔬

I didn’t really care for this song when it came out but I’ve come to love it as I’ve gotten older.
That’s interesting…I’ve been having an issue with charley horses and foot cramps at night and have wondered if potassium might help.
In what way?

Sure seems like AI was unleashed on the world without any real deliberation over its potential harms.

This will end the same way it's ended for the Kurds over the last 50-70 years...not well.
It's a mistake that I unfortunately have also made.
Chart titled, “proportion of Amoxicillin and clindamycin Prescriptions for Dental Indications: 2020-2025.” The column for Amoxicillin has a triangle pointing up. The column for Clindamycin has a triangle pointing down. The middle column lists the total dental antibiotic prescriptions by year.
Doctors are prescribing fewer antibiotics, yet dental antibiotic use has remained stubbornly high.
Reasons point to:
-Confusion over guidelines
-Debate over prescription monitoring

That was my initial inclination as well.
