Dem Senator Chris Murphy on why Democrats won’t end the government shutdown:

“I think there will be some pretty substantial damage done to a Democratic brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop fighting. If we surrender without having gotten anything and we cause a lot of folks in this country who had started to believe in the Democratic Party to retreat again, I worry that it will be hard to sort of get them back up off the mat in time for next fall’s election cycle.”

A single untreated cavity is more than just a dental problem—it’s an open pathway for bacteria to enter the body. Once decay reaches the inner layers of the tooth, harmful microbes can slip into the bloodstream.

From there, these bacteria don’t just stay local. They travel. And in some cases, they reach the heart, triggering a dangerous condition called infective endocarditis—an infection of the heart’s inner lining that can be life-threatening.

Research shows that oral infections increase the body’s inflammatory burden, putting extra strain on the cardiovascular system. This connection between the mouth and the heart is one of the strongest examples of how oral health directly impacts overall health.

What begins as a small, ignored cavity can silently put the heart at risk. Timely dental treatment, regular checkups, and proper oral hygiene aren’t just about saving teeth—they’re about protecting life itself.

When patients hear the word “radiation,” it often causes unnecessary concern. However, modern dental X-rays are among the safest medical imaging tools used today. The amount of radiation is extremely small—comparable to everyday sources we barely notice. For example:

Eating a banana exposes you to natural radiation from potassium; a single dental X-ray delivers about the same amount as eating a few bananas.

Spending a few minutes in sunlight actually exposes you to more radiation than a dental X-ray.

A short airplane flight exposes you to several times more radiation than a full set of dental X-rays.

Advances in technology have made dental X-rays even safer. Older film-based X-rays required higher radiation doses, but today’s digital sensors reduce exposure by up to 90% while producing clearer, more detailed images. These improvements help dentists catch problems earlier and treat them more effectively.

Dentists also take multiple safety measures to protect you, including using lead aprons, thyroid collars, and strictly following the ALARA principle—keeping radiation “As Low As Reasonably Achievable.” This means X-rays are only taken when necessary for diagnosis or treatment planning, never without a clear purpose.

In short, the radiation from dental X-rays is minimal, carefully controlled, and far outweighed by the benefits of early detection. Rather than posing a risk, dental X-rays are a vital tool for maintaining your teeth, jaw, and overall health.
