Entrecard Appreciation Day

I haven’t been able to post anything new here at Dental Aggregate for a couple of weeks due to some personal family matters, but I want you all to know that I haven’t forgotten about this dental blog, and have some new posts coming in the next few days.

In the meantime, I wanted to say Thank You to a few Entrecard blogs that have been kind enough to be regular chain-droppers and visitors by giving a bit of Linky Love to their blogs in return.

Top Five Entrecard Chain Droppers-

Life’s Context- I really enjoy keeping up with each new post written by “Periadex”. Even though he is a Endodontist, and surely could write phenomenal posts all about the technicalities of Endodontics in dentistry, I appreciate that his posts are more personal in nature. You have to appreciate the good Doctor’s sense of humor in his post about cheap dentistry, and the “get your mind out of the gutter” comments that kept me laughing.

Healthy Lifestyle- I’m a big believer in eating healthy and taking care of my body, and I understand the importance of teaching children to eat healthy foods and getting enough exercise. Healthy Lifestyle is an excellent source of information relating to healthy living, quitting smoking, and I especially enjoyed the post about dealing with bad breath since it’s a subject that gets discussed with patients quite often in our dental office.

Healthy Cooking Recipes- Since my husband and I are both healthy eaters, it’s quite fun to discover new recipes to add to our growing collection of recipes to try ourselves, and serve to our dinner guests. Our family loves barbecued chicken that is tender and delicious but also healthy, so it’s great to have another healthy chicken recipe to keep things interesting at mealtime.

Obesity Therapy- The subject of child and teenage obesity in society is a topic that needs to be taken seriously by parents, and needs to be dealt with in schools and school cafeteria’s and society in general by learning how to prevent childhood obesity. Obesity in children and teens has become an epidemic around the world, and these kids are not only experiencing health problems now, but are increasing their chances of developing Diabetes, Cardiovascular problems and Stroke, just to name a few.

Telling It Like It Is- Well, I guess it should only make sense that my other blog would be amongst those who chain drop with Entrecard at a higher rate than other users. Regular readers of Dental Aggregate know that I also author Telling It Like It Is, which is a large compilation of posts dealing with relationships, marriage, parenting, caring for elderly parents, deciding when is it the right time to change careers, and much more.

Thank You very much for your regular visits to Dental Aggregate, and I look forward to continuing the chain dropping exercises along with you.

Dental Blog Discoveries: Finding Interactive Dental Blogs

After scouring the internet for a couple of weeks in search of quality dental blogs that are not only informative for the general public, but are also interactive in the comment fields, I’m thrilled to have finally found a couple blogs in the dentistry field to subscribe to.

The Wealthy Dentist dental blog immediately caught my undivided attention with his controversial discussion about gender discrimination against women entering dental school. The responses Jim Du Molin received from his reader poll is quite interesting to say the least, and I’m sure you’ll find the discussion intriguing as well. To think that in this day and age, that women going into dentistry would experience the kind of obstacles described in Dr. Molin’s article is beyond me.

I’ve also spent some time in recent days diving into the archives of the Dental Insider Blog, but have yet to actually begin leaving any comments to posts I feel I can contribute to in some way. I did feel a pinch of regret when I came across the post talking about February being National Children’s Dental Health Month, because I completely dropped the ball by not remembering to write something about that, due to obsessing over searching online for dental blogs.

A big thank you goes to Life’s Context for pointing me towards the reactivated dental blog called Solitary Penguin, who had been absent from the blogging scene for awhile, and dealing with the various issues that sometimes go along with purchasing a surgery practice.

Going Dental is another new dental blog discovery that appears on the surface as being one that has promise of being a quality dental blog, IF the blogger changes the requirement for anyone wishing to participate in comments to have to “sign in”, which many bloggers just won’t do.

I’d really like to see these dental blogs do a bit of discovering themselves by taking a few minutes to discover the wonders of StumbleUpon and how being a SU user can greatly increase web traffic to their blogs, but also bring more subscribers and interactive comments on posts.
