Book excerpt: I've been to the dentist several times, so I know the drill. Author unknown Over the years, dentistry has changed and so has technology. As we move deeper into the new technological age, we learn how to better care our 'pearly whites' so they will serve us for a lifetime. One thing that we do know is that it's impossible to put a value on a smile. When compared with yesteryear, the utilization of modernday dental technology (including the use of lasers, digital applications, sedation techniques and other treatments unknown even ten years ago), makes a visit to the dentist a far more pleasant experience today. As dentists have learned more and more about the chemistry and physics of the mouth and jaws, they advise and teach us the care and preventive techniques that we need in order to keep our teeth for a lifetime. The Celebrity Expert Dentists in this book draw our attention not only to the health of our gums and teeth, but as importantly, to their relationship with our overall physical and mental health. A correlation between dental health and good general health has now been well-established. Regardless of age or activity- level, the Celebrity Expert Dentists in this book would like to share with you the importance of their dental specialties and experience. Much of this knowledge will be a revelation. It could change your life for the better....And remember that a great smile is indicative of a great Inside Job. A smile is a curve that sets everything straight. Phyllis Diller

Download or read book Teeth written by Mary Otto and published by The New Press. This book was released on 2017-03-14 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An NPR Best Book of 2017 "[Teeth is] . . . more than an exploration of a two-tiered system—it is a call for sweeping, radical change." —New York Times Book Review "Show me your teeth," the great naturalist Georges Cuvier is credited with saying, "and I will tell you who you are." In this shattering new work, veteran health journalist Mary Otto looks inside America's mouth, revealing unsettling truths about our unequal society. Teeth takes readers on a disturbing journey into America's silent epidemic of oral disease, exposing the hidden connections between tooth decay and stunted job prospects, low educational achievement, social mobility, and the troubling state of our public health. Otto's subjects include the pioneering dentist who made Shirley Temple and Judy Garland's teeth sparkle on the silver screen and helped create the all-American image of "pearly whites"; Deamonte Driver, the young Maryland boy whose tragic death from an abscessed tooth sparked congressional hearings; and a marketing guru who offers advice to dentists on how to push new and expensive treatments and how to keep Medicaid patients at bay. In one of its most disturbing findings, Teeth reveals that toothaches are not an occasional inconvenience, but rather a chronic reality for millions of people, including disproportionate numbers of the elderly and people of color. Many people, Otto reveals, resort to prayer to counteract the uniquely devastating effects of dental pain. Otto also goes back in time to understand the roots of our predicament in the history of dentistry, showing how it became separated from mainstream medicine, despite a century of growing evidence that oral health and general bodily health are closely related. Muckraking and paradigm-shifting, Teeth exposes for the first time the extent and meaning of our oral health crisis. It joins the small shelf of books that change the way we view society and ourselves—and will spark an urgent conversation about why our teeth matter.
