Sugar is everywhere in our lives. When you eat, sugar is in the food such as hamburger, sandwiches, pizza, bread, etc. When you drink, sugar is in the beverage like soda, juice, coffee and even milk. Furthermore, sugar exists in snacks such as cookies, cupcakes, biscuits and so on. I cannot list everything with sugar here. Actually, when we eat, we eat sugar. Unfortunately, sugar is now considering a toxic to our bodies. It causes diseases like obesity, diabetes, heart attack and cancer, etc. As sugar threatens the public health, government is considering curb sugar consumption by taxes on sugar; restrictions placed on food production and even age requirements on purchasing sugary foods.

I wonder how the government will take appropriate measures to regulate sugar as well as improve public health.

To begin, dentistry plays an integral role in the daily lives of countless individuals. Dentistry as defined by the International Council of Nurses is, "The profession of practice of providing care for the sick and inform in regards to oral hygiene." Populations around the world, and in particular Japan, are aging quite rapidly. Baby Boomers, individuals born between 1946 and 1964 are reaching retirement age as they too become older. As this demographic age becomes older, they will typically become more prone to sickness or other forms of detrimental illnesses. As such, the importance of dentistry in the coming years will be even more profound. As such, interviewing an individual within the health care industry provided valuable insights as to the overall profession, and the implications it has on society.

Long ago, sugar was a rarity as it was hard to obtain; however, it is a whole other story today. The World Health Organization recommends " 'consuming less than 10% of calories from added sugar.' " (Hellmich) However," adults in the USA in 2010 consumed about 15% of their daily calories... from sugar" (Hellmich) At this level of consumption, a significant part of the average Americans' diet composes of sugar-rich substances. "Major sources of added sugars... are sugar-sweetened beverages, desserts, fruit drinks, dairy desserts (ice cream) and candy."

This paper is organized into five main sections. The first section discusses the existing literature on oral health care in provincial Canada, as well as, issues of access and use of dental health services. The second section specifically focuses on the data used in the study and the methods of analysing the data. In addition, this section also delves into the models used in determining relationships and associations between the key dependent variables (consultation with a dentist, an actual visit to a dentist, and last time visited a dentist) and socio-economic and health characteristics of respondents as independent variables. The third section of the paper then presents the findings of the descriptive and inferential statistics generated from the data. The fourth section discusses the results of the study in relation to reviewed literature, as well as, their implications on provincial and federal health policies. The limitations of the study in terms of methodology and analysis are subsequently discussed in this section too. The fifth section concludes the paper with an overview of the findings of the study and inter-provincial differences in access and use of dental services in Alberta, Manitoba and Newfoundland.
