In a new  study it shows that Twitter can be used as a new way for the public to communicate their health concerns.  Studies found that Twitter users are already extensively sharing their experiences of toothache and seeking advice from other users.

772 tweets were analyzed and frequencies calculated. Of those tweets, 83% were primarily categorized as a general statement of dental pain, 22% as an action taken or contemplated, and 15% as describing an impact on daily activities. Among the actions taken or contemplated, 44% reported seeing a dentist, 43% took an analgesic or antibiotic medication and 14% actively sought advice from the Twitter community
