The impact of sugar on the population's health is widely known within dentistry. As well as patients, dental professionals can also be guilty of consuming too much sugar.

So, why is cutting down on sugar so difficult, even for the experts?

Timothy Ives will explore this topic in greater detail in his lecture, 'Pure, White and Deadly' at the British Dental Conference and Dentistry Show (BDCDS) 2022. Showcasing his own research, Timothy will highlight the impact of sugar and why so many patients struggle to cut down. Timothy comments:

'I'll be discussing the politics of sugar and why we're consuming so much compared to what we use to.
