EDITORIAL.

The SAAD Digest is a journal that focuses on providing education in pain and anxiety control for dental professionals. The editorial highlights the need for SAAD to address problems related to access to dental care, including the use of non-pharmacological techniques for anxiety management. The article also mentions statistics on dental health, such as the high number of dental abscesses and diagnoses of mouth cancer. The journal has made changes to its format and layout to improve readability, and it will now be published online with a single column of text. [Extracted from the article]
