The other day a package arrived in my office with a variety of sweets — from licorice candy to suger coated almonds. Yummy.
Who would send me a two pound sweet gift basket? In the bottom of the package was a short letter (in Danish): “Many thanks for your help in reviewing scientific articles … [“Vi takker mange gange for din hjælp med bedømmelse af faglige artikler …”].
Signed by the editor of Tandlægebladet, the journal of the Danish Dental Association. That’s sweet of them!
Is it a case of subtle self-irony? A mistake? Or maybe it just reflects a change in overall dental health policy over the last decades: the notion that what keeps your teeth healthy is not avoiding candy, but cleaning your teeth and using dental floss regularly.
