I work in a (I think the only) NHS dental practice in Solihull, West Midlands and receive Vital at work through one of our members of staff. He kindly gives it to me to pass around the practice. I have to say I really enjoy reading it, as does my sister, who's a hygienist. The only thing is that the latest issue of Vital came on Saturday and I took it home to read and finished it by Sunday night! That might make me sound a bit nerdy – but once every three months is too long between issues!

I've joined some of the Facebook sites that you mentioned in your last editorial (Dental nurses rock; Vital spring 2008 page 3). Congratulations on a great magazine that always has something interesting to read for the whole team!

Editor's note: Thank you to Tina for her kind words, which are very encouraging to the team here at Vital. I'm sorry to say there are no plans at present to produce more issues of Vital per year, but with all of our readers' support and help spreading the word about Vital and our website ( www.nature.com/vital ), more issues could become a reality in the future!

The British Association of Dental Nurses, BADN, also has a group on Facebook. Check it out!
