...and welcome to another OraMedia Newsletter.

I'd like to save a million teeth this year.  If the subscibers to this newsletter each have 30 teeth and are applying the principles of good oral health based on Dr. Nara's work at Mizar5.com, I figure we're a quarter of the way there.  If each subscriber tells 4 or 5 family members and friends, we'll hit that goal in short order.  If that happens I'll set the goal to 10 million teeth.  That's a lot of teeth, right?  Well, there is absolutely no reason a tooth needs to be lost to disease - we know how to save them and hopefully this issue will give you the incentive to do so.

I have included an article called '10 Vital Tips for Keeping Your Teeth Healthy for Life,' one based on Dr. Nara's '7 Factors' and Sheila Wolf's 'Mid-Life Mouth Myths.'  These may provide a little incentive to better care for your choppers this year instead of waiting for the signs of disease (pain or bleeding) for the alarm to go off.

In addition, I hope to do a little speaking around the country in 2008.  If you have a group who might like to hear the 'gospel of good oral health,' email me at tom @ mizar5.com and we'll set something up in the coming months.

Finally, for those of you who do write with questions and comments about the OraMedia site, materials, products, etc., please bear with me as I get a very large amount of email daily.  Please give me a few days to respond.  Sometimes, for one reason or another, I don't get emails sent so if a week or so goes by and I haven't replied, please re-send your original one.

Finally, thank you all very much for your past suppport and let's do some great things in 2008!

Happy New Year,
Tom
