Background and purposeIn the past few years, social networking sites have received great attention in the health field by health practitioners and researchers, as well as health centers. The aim of this research is to investigate the important factors of patients (male or female) when choosing a dental practice, and the effectiveness of a social media presence for a dental practice to engage with and obtain new patients, as well as the return on investment of social media marketing.Patients and methods400 random sample patients in the city of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia participated. The inclusion criteria were the following: patients above the age of 16 years, patients who have previously visited the dentist, patients who use social networking sites, patients who are fluent in Arabic or English, and patients residing in Saudi Arabia. The questionnaire was divided into four main sections and included questions revolving around the person’s use of social networking sites and the factors influencing his/her decision to choose his/her dentist, especially those related to social networking sites.ResultsThe data collection entailed capturing 400 patients’ responses; the majority of participants were between the age of 18 and 25 years old, and more than half of them were males (54.4%). The majority of patients had a social media account (95.3%), however, 4.7% of patients did not have a specific social media account, but they still used social media to get updated. We also found that the most popular platform to use for patients was Snapchat, at 75.1%, followed by Instagram, at 73.8%. Females tended to be more interested in having a social media platform to inform them about a dental practice and almost all factors.ConclusionThe presence of the dentist in social networking sites and correct interaction with them is important to reach new patients and communicate with his/her former patients.

“…In general, the majority of evidence indicates that smokers are at increased risk for the presence of unresponsive periodontal pockets and further periodontal breakdown. Moreover, two‐ to sevenfold higher risk for periodontitis were reported in current smokers when compared to former/non‐smokers (Al Harthi et al, ; Nociti, Casati, & Duarte, ; Ryder, Couch, & Chaffee, ).…”

Aim The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between liver cirrhosis and periodontitis. Methods This case–control study included 294 individuals, 98 cases with liver cirrhosis and 196 controls. A full‐mouth periodontal examination was performed and plaque index, probing depth, clinical attachment level and bleeding on probing were recorded. The association of risk variables with periodontitis was tested through univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression, stratified by alcohol status. Results A high prevalence of periodontitis was observed among cases (62.2%) when compared to controls (41.8%). Individuals with cirrhosis presented a chance ~2 higher of having periodontitis than controls (OR = 2.28; 95% CI 1.39–3.78; p < .001). Significant variables associated with periodontitis in the final logistic models were as follows: (a) no/occasional alcohol use model—number of teeth up 14, age ≥45–55 years, male sex and smoking; (b) moderate and intensive alcohol use models—cirrhosis, number of teeth up 14, age ≥45–55 years, male sex and smoking. Conclusions An important risk association between liver cirrhosis and periodontitis was observed. Additionally, the intensive alcohol use significantly increased the risk for periodontitis.

“…Smoking has been recognized to be linked to lung disease, cardiovascular disease, and poor pregnancy outcomes, such as miscarriage and intrauterine growth restriction. [8] Furthermore, smoking was found to affect dental health by accelerating the onset, severity, and progression of periodontal disease,[910] contributed by the development of a favorable milieu for periodontal pathogens inside the oral cavity. [11] Hence, tobacco use, particularly as inhalational substance is the most important, preventable risk factor in the prevalence and progression of periodontal diseases, globally.…”

Background: The impact of smoking on oral health is directly related to the toxic tobacco fumes. The study aimed to investigate the awareness of the link between smoking and periodontal disease among the population seeking periodontal treatment. Materials and Methods: A self-administered questionnaire constructed in local Malay language consisting of 13 questions on sociodemographic details and 10 questions on the knowledge domain was distributed to eligible respondents while they were waiting for their consultation in the periodontal clinic waiting hall. There were 330 study participants aged 16 years old and above, who participated in this study from all 12 dental clinics in the state of Perlis, Malaysia. Data were entered into Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 20.0 for analysis. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the sociodemographic data, whereas association between potential factor and the knowledge of awareness was found using the Pearson Chi-square test of independence or a Fisher's exact test, depending on the eligibility criteria. Results: Our study showed that 4.5% ( n = 15) of the respondents were not aware that smoking did add risk for oral cancer, 14.5% ( n = 48) were not aware that smoking could cause gum disease. Smoking status was significantly associated with the awareness of smoking effect on gum disease ( P = 0.002). The proportion of the active smokers being aware that smoking could potentially cause gum disease was considerably less as compared to the nonsmokers (62.7% vs. 83.3%). Conclusions: Continuous dental health campaigns and awareness program are crucial to instil awareness and health-seeking behavior as well as to enforce public's knowledge.
