Download or read book The Dental Connection written by David L Lerner and published by . This book was released on 2019-05-18 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dental Connection is a book that bridges the gap between the ancient traditions of natural healing and modern dental technology. This is the story of one dentist's odyssey from conventional dentistry to becoming a holistic, biological, and physiologic-oriented dentist. It is also a historical and scientific exploration of the evolution of holistic thinking in healthcare as it pertains to the mouth. Today, the concepts of biological medicine and dentistry reflect our understanding of the causes of chronic disease and the options available to promote healing and disease reversal. The focus is on the patient rather than on the disease. Examination and diagnosis are based on understanding the changes in a patient's physiology; energetically, biochemically, structurally, and psychologically. In this book, we focus on the principles of biological dentistry as well as our philosophy of structural integration of the mouth and the body that we call Dental Somatic Integration. "If I needed to remove either the medical or dental component of my clinic, I would keep the dental because chronic problems will not resolve without biological dental care." Dr. Thomas Rau, Director of Paracelsus Clinic, Switzerland

Book excerpt: Steven J. Anderson, Author, Entrepreneur, and Professional Coach writes: "I have worked closely with Dr. Guy Gross since he was in dental school. He is a consummate learner, implementer in his own practice and life, and master mentor in teaching others how to do it right. His wisdom comes from applying what he has learned through hard work, time and money invested, successes AND failures, and practicing what he teaches. Learn from his experience shared in this book, apply it, and you will have a fulfilling and prosperous career and life."INTRODUCTION The world is replete with self-help books and people who tell us how to be successful. Many books offer advice like "you become what you think about" and "set big goals and amazing things will happen." Pretty vague, right? What we really need is to choose activities that focus on what matters, and that actually lead to a tangible outcome or ability to prognosticate success. During my career, which has spanned nearly two decades, I've always looked for what will make the biggest difference. It's not about taking the easy path or the hard path; it's focusing on choosing the right path for the right reasons� We can control the habits we develop� I choose good habits that help move my career forward-which has led me to where I am today� My professional role has evolved several times over the years, from starting as a pure clinician to becoming a clinician, a leader, and a single practice owner, then transitioning to serving as a clinician, mentor, team leader, lecturer, consultant and a large group dental practice owner. Mentoring dentists who join my group, or who attend my courses, has become one of my most cherished roles. I now have the opportunity to help other doctors, especially new doctors, set themselves on a pathway of exponential growth and work/life success.

Book excerpt: There's a silent epidemic in western civilization, and it is right under our noses. Our jaws are getting smaller and our teeth crooked and crowded, creating not only aesthetic challenges but also difficulties with breathing. Modern orthodontics has persuaded us that braces and oral devices can correct these problems. While teeth can certainly be straightened, what about the underlying causes of this rapid shift in oral evolution and the health risks posed by obstructed airways? Sandra Kahn and Paul R. Ehrlich, a pioneering orthodontist and a world-renowned evolutionist, respectively, present the biological, dietary, and cultural changes that have driven us toward this major health challenge. They propose simple adjustments that can alleviate this developing crisis, as well as a major alternative to orthodontics that promises more significant long-term relief. Jaws will change your life. Every parent should read this book.

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.
