You know I say that you have the power to heal your own teeth
that is what I believe
and I think that’s the main difference between me and other dentists
you see
dentistry has grown up as a profession where they were taking care of you
that was when they didn’t believe
you had the ability to look after your own teeth
first of all they thought you needed them to take your teeth out
and you probably did I don’t think anyone wants to take their own tooth out
but then dentistry evolved and started filling teeth
and obviously that was good
to have somebody professional know how to fill teeth well
but now we know how to prevent cavities
and you have to do that everyday at home by yourself
that’s how I came to write my book Kiss Your Dentist Goodbye Back 20
almost 20 years ago because you have the power
but you have to do these things everyday
you don’t just go to the dentist and have them
how can they possibly prevent a cavity or prevent gum disease
that there’s no way they can
so this is the disconnect
where we have the old school dentist who believe they are helping you
and I’m telling you
you can do it for yourself and it will be so much more effective
and the cool thing is
you can practice in between dental visits and see the difference it makes
