Bioterrorism is a potential public health threat to India. The impact of a biological attack to our nation could be devastating. Most biological warfare agents do not produce symptoms for many hours or several days, so Indians exposed to a contagious biological warfare agent could easily spread the agent to thousands before symptoms manifest. The dental profession could potentially play a significant role in the emergency response to a major bioterrorism attack. This article provides a brief overview of the threat from biological weapons, its consequences, clinical presentation of diseases and state of preparedness in India as a response to this potentially catastrophic danger.Keywords

Halitosis or bad breath is a problem faced by many and can limit their potential to even interact with the society in a positive manner. It is very subjective in that for many this malady is "A perception rather than a real thing, everybody's breath smells to a certain extent". However real halitosis is an unpleasant condition which creates huge embarrassment with potentially grave consequences. Most of the individuals suffering from halitosis seek help from general practioners initially, not the dentist.Keywords
