I know that the received wisdom in the blogosphere these days is (often) that if information is being provided by a ‘big company’, it must be biased and/or unreliable.

That can be true, especially if a company is trying to sell you something or convince you of a specific point of view.

However, sometimes big companies do provide good resources – particularly when their goal is to convince healthcare practitioners that they’re credible and reliable.

One such site is DentalCare.com.  You’ll see that it’s ‘brought to you by Crest and Oral-B’, but the site has been designed for dental healthcare professionals, not the general public, so the quality of information is quite high and it has good basic information on dental health.
