Talk:Early childhood caries

message: I am a physician and the references to Xylitol are blatant product placement and certainly out of place here.  This is rarely used and may deserve a mention, but the last paragraph is clearly biased.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.240.46.175 (talk) 11:31, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Hi,
I put links to legimitate sources of medical journals and scientific journals and people keep removing them.
Stop it.
Links restored, and more neutral content added

replies: text: The edits you provide will be removed. The statements, such as "Micro-organisms do not cause tooth decay! Do not use xylitol it is harmful!", are untrue and against widely accepted science. In case you are wondering, this is not a method to remove "New Theories", but to prevent what is regarded as junk science from being presented as widely accepted in the scientific community. - Dozenist talk 12:12, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

text: The idea that bacteria cause tooth decay is widely accepted by science. As much as you say that the theory "is not scientifically valid", there sure are a lot of scientists and medical professionals that believe the theory is true.  I removed your edits and the associated links again because the article must reflect what is believed by the vast majority of science. In particular, this text from WP:UNDUE should help: "Views that are held by a tiny minority should not be represented except in articles devoted to those views. To give undue weight to a significant-minority view, or to include a tiny-minority view, might be misleading as to the shape of the dispute." - Dozenist talk 11:07, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

text: Couldn't agree more with Dozenist.  The links I went to contained information that could not even be considered pseudoscience.  Absolute unsubstantiated garbage displaying a lack of understanding of even the basics of tooth development and anatomy.  There were no links to an evidence base and even the anecdotal evidence was poorly analysed showing a complete, total and utter lack of any knowledge of teeth whatsoever.  A first year science student could point out the flaws in this rubbish.  How can you disagree with current theories if you have no knowledge of the problem you are dealing with?Dr-G - Illegitimi non carborundum est. 18:06, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why are New Theories Removed 

message: This section is very thorough and explains some key points about the risks of giving a child a bottle of milk before bed. A few recommendations would be to explain the term demineralisation, as this is a key term of the process of dental caries. References are good, but we will need to order the numbers when the other sections are completed. Do you think a picture is needed in this section? 
Well done!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sapir Tossia (talk • contribs) 13:02, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
