The Tooth Fairy of Dental Trends
Posted by RAC on Wednesday, January 07, 2009 - 03:14 AM
There have been many predictions about the end of dentistry over the last couple decades. Some day there will be a solution that gives us the perfect dental health cure. It will be dispensed at McDonalds like a DVD movie!
It will be here very shortly. The minute after the common cold is cured, the hour after the heart-safe-instant anti-obesity pill is introduced and day after the devil throws salt over his ice covered doorstep.
With just one statistic, I can crush this propensity for dental health positive predictions. But I believe it is better to start with reality if we really want progress. If you want reality-based results, read on.

Dental Pjeudoscience: Throwing People For A Loop
Posted by RAC on Monday, August 04, 2008 - 03:10 AM
Imagine being sick. No, imagine someone you would die for being sick. Plus the disease they have is incurable. You would do anything for them and let them do anything that might help them, including spending their last dime – which might also be your last dime.

Dentistry is in our mouth. Do we forget that when asked to open our wallets for dental care? If you are focused on “cheap as you can get it” dentistry, you could be choosing between saving money and losing your life.
China makes a lot of stuff for us. Much of it is pretty good stuff. But when it goes in our bodies and affects us in many ways, getting it from overseas for a very low price – should raise our conflicts with reality radar.

Revisionist Oral History: The Root Canal HAS Changed
Posted by RAC on Thursday, November 29, 2007 - 06:50 AM
The root canal has been drubbed through the years for its agonizing exploits. While much deserved in the past, its dreaded historical references have hung on too long.
Just like the fact that your barber is no longer also your dentist, root canal (or endodontic) therapy has changed dramatically since the nomads of dental horror yore told those first stories.
