[edit] Style

I tried cleaning up the style to something I think sounds better. There are, however, some questions that remain. What is "Recently" (i.e. when people started questioning the practice)? ; Why use the words "dental professional" instead of "dentist"? ; I'm uncomfortable with the phrase "dental hygeine should be used" -- but I can't find a suitable replacement: "invoked" is just too wierd. Changing the paragraph to start with "Until recently" is much better (IMHO) than "For many years ... but recently". The same meaning is being conveyed, but the problem is now that we need to define our terms clearly. Any thoughts/comments appreciated. --Storkk 01:04, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Looks great. I think dental professionals would be an easy way to refer to dentists and dental hygienists, both of whom would look for decay - Dozenist talk 02:28, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

If you want to know who came up with the anti-explorer theory, try Edwina Kidd's books. She is a nut for conservative dentistry. Knows a helluva lot about fluoride also.Dr-G - Illigetimi nil carborundum est. 00:17, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Move

I was thinking that this page should be under dental explorer rather than explorer (dental) can we swap them around? (Bouncingmolar 08:18, 9 February 2007 (UTC))
