When I got there and said I was healthy and I didn't need a mask, they told me I had to wait outside. So I left. And when they called me to say they were ready I went off and called them out for discrimination. Fuck them.
Update: I filed a complaint with their national website, received a call a little while ago about it, and got nowhere with the person on the other end of the line. At least I got another chance to bitch about how stupid it is that I was being discriminated against for being healthy.
My dentist kept calling me to make an appointment. I'm guessing they aren't getting a lot of people in. I said do I have to wear a mask? She told me yes. I told her I will not be party to this tyrannical Communist government take over. Haven't called me since.
I believe the dentists are a big part of today's problem group. They make a killing, and they only give you part of what you need to know to keep from getting non-stop dental care. They want you coming back, all the time. The thing you need to know, is that dental problems all relate to sugars, not just soda-pop, not just snacks/candy bars... all sugar or sugar like products. Sugar is more addictive than cocaine. (I'm starting this diet in about a week) The carnivore diet, people have talked about their dental history, pre-carnivore diet, bad, post carnivore diet, perfect. Some people don't brush their teeth for days on end, and still have no dental issues. Many brush for Aesthetic purposes (not sure what that means), but we have been lied to by every single organization that's nationwide. ALL OF THEM are liars. I'll talk more about my carnivore diet in a month to give an update, and what's funny, is the left wants us to eat fake meat. Seems sus.
A) Dentists don't force you to eat sugar. Change your diet. Dentists aren't responsible for the modern diet. If you're going to blame someone blame the Rockefellers taking over medicine.
B) Good dental offices will educate you on reducing snacking frequency, changing diet, and better home care.
C) Take ownership of care for your teeth. Do your research and do hydrogen peroxide rinses, coconut oil pulls, etc.
D) Dentists are currently being corporatized (just like hospitals, pharmacies, optometry offices, etc). Large chains are taking over and pushing volume dentistry. This is perhaps your perception of only giving you part of what you need to know.
Dentists have an incredibly stressful job, have one of the highest suicide rates, and suffer numerous physical and mental ailments, while still giving value to patients. That's what $ are for, the stresses involved and the value that is produced. Tooth pain is one of the worst pains, with infection threats to numerous nerves in the area proximal the brain, working backwards through the trigeminal ganglion up temporalis nerves, for example.
Found the dentist haha (only kind of kidding).
I appreciate your insight.
I’ve always had strong teeth, but in a violent incident several years back many of them lost pieces.
I ask because you seem knowledgeable, what other advice can you give on dental health?
That is utter complete nonsense. Of course they have invisible dental issues. Plaque is forming under the gum line, which will lead to gingivitis, periodontitis, bone loss, and tooth loss. Plus a whole bunch of pain, misery, expense, and horrible breath that could stop a charging rhinoceros. Please, nobody believe this "not brushing and flossing" thing is OK if you eat a keto diet or some other diet.
A periodontist told me once, "You don't have to floss ALL your teeth.................just the ones you want to keep."
Mine told me his last hygienist was onto something about sugar not being the problem, but acidic diets & acids sitting on the teeth.
Basic chemistry it seems. They recommend all patients use a pH balanced or slightly alkaline mouth wash for as long as we are comfortable & at least longer than a minute.
Yes, I reckon mine were damaged when I was young by concentrated fruit juice and later on by cola, and by heavy handed dentists.
I now brush my teeth after eating anything very acidic to remineralise them and they have been stable for years, even the one with a huge cavity.
Some of y’all still drinking conventional wisdom koolaid
