The more I delve into the 2023 Journal Citation Reports for dentistry, the murkier the waters get - The 3rd top dental journal by impact factor is a journal you may not have heard of, with very few citations but ….. 97% open access The journal has the same impact factor as @JDentRes at 5.7 I smell 🐂 💩
The new journal impact factors for 2023 have been released 1997 there were 42 dentistry journals 2023 there were 157 dentistry journals That’s one small step for man (sic), one giant leap for mankind - or not.

A new study has revealed a lack of fluoridated water is impacting the oral health of regional Queenslanders. Wide Bay water doesn't contain the mineral and the Australian Dental Association is pushing for the Queensland government to step in. 7NEWS.com.au #7NEWS

There must be better integration of dental health into Medicare and the primary health care system to avoid too many Australians missing out on vital oral care. ow.ly/9z6R50QA11E

A decision to hand over water fluoridation decisions to local councils in Queensland a decade ago has resulted in more than a million Queenslanders having less access to fluoridated water, putting them at a greater risk of dental disease. Read more: ow.ly/KWVQ50QsVGe

UQ researchers have found Queenslanders from lower socio-economic areas are at higher risk of dental disease due to a lack of fluoridated water. 🔗uq.au/147287 @UQHealth @ct_sexton @LocDo1

Queensland compared to all other states and territories has the poorest access to water fluoridation. With many of the fluoridation plants coming to end of life - we need to act now to help Queenslanders decaying teeth
