- This is a non-commercial resource. There are no sponsors or paid services. The individuals who own, manage and moderate this website and forum are volunteers and do not make any money out of the website.
- We view people as partners and active participants in their care. Therefore, we do not discourage discussion of dental questions or advice. Of course, this is not meant to and cannot replace the advice of a qualified health professional in person.
