Gaining wide attention in social media circles is a personal account from dental therapist and lecturer Emily Banks from Cardiff Dental School, who describes her experiences with topical steroid addiction and withdrawal: 'I went through a crippling deterioration in my mental health'(https://go.nature.com/3U6HTYh).
Caroline Holland explores the role of dental teams in the management of children with rare medical conditions, highlighting a new leaflet published on behalf of the Diamond-Blackfan Anaemia (DBA) charity, in 'Genetic conditions and the dental team' (https://go.nature.com/3VpTina).
