Speaker 3: We've done this for years now. And what I like
1:31
Speaker 3: about this is people, if they've never heard this show before,
1:34
Speaker 3: they're going to think, Ah, here's a dentist going to
1:36

Speaker 3: any candy, don't you eat any sugar fly ball humbug?
1:41

1:45
Speaker 3: Doctor Stephen is a realist and he knows that it's
1:48
Speaker 3: not just the kids out there, it's the adults. We're
1:50
Speaker 3: not going to say no to all the candy. We're
1:51
Speaker 3: just not. We're going to eat some of it. That's
1:53
Speaker 3: just the way it is.
1:54
Speaker 4: Let's be real and let's bring us more business, you know, right, Let's.
1:58
Speaker 3: Oh, yes, eat all the candy. As a matter of fact.
2:00
Speaker 4: Jo, of course that's a joke, come on.
2:03
Speaker 3: But there is some real there is some real truth
2:05
Speaker 3: of that. And uh, doctor Carson, how are you doing today?
2:08
Speaker 5: I'm doing well, having the time of my life here
2:11
Speaker 5: with my best friend.
2:13
Speaker 3: Even that's right.
2:15
Speaker 4: How can I get better?
2:16
Speaker 5: He brings me coffee. He's a great guy.
2:18
Speaker 3: What's really amazing is that we're going to have yet
2:20
Speaker 3: another Halloween, and it's going to be such a nice Halloween. Again.
2:23
Speaker 3: We're looking at weather to be in the probably in
2:25
Speaker 3: the seventies during the during the daytime when nine jinksit dale.
2:29
Speaker 3: But yeah, well, I say during Halloween, that's a week away.
2:31
Speaker 3: Trick or Beat is our big Halloween.
2:33
Speaker 5: Of course we were there. We have both there. Uh
2:37
Speaker 5: how much candy? I think I bought three hundred dollars
2:39
Speaker 5: worth of candy nice so and I was told, like,
2:42
Speaker 5: you better bring a lot of candy. I'm like, I will, don't.
2:44
Speaker 3: We have thousands of dollars worth of candy that we
2:47
Speaker 3: bought for this thing that we give away from the
2:49
Speaker 3: as the station and our sponsors, and we get the
2:51
Speaker 3: good stuff, you know, we try to get the good stuff.
2:53
Speaker 3: We're not giving you any of the you know, the
2:54
Speaker 3: Swedish fish or any of that stuff that you get.
2:56
Speaker 3: And what's always in those fish is delicious. Well, I mean,
3:01
Speaker 3: what's always in the bottom left, in the bottom of
3:03
Speaker 3: your Halloween can.
3:04
Speaker 5: It's sweet as fish.
3:06
Speaker 3: And also tootsy rolls. That's the two things. It's like,
3:10
Speaker 3: I like tootsy rolls, but man, you can't do anything
3:12
Speaker 3: with that million tootsy rolls you get at Halloween time.
3:14
Speaker 4: Her she kisses kind of fall down there too, so.
3:16
Speaker 3: They do, they do, at least with her she's kiss
3:18
Speaker 3: It's the intense chocolate and sugar of course you get,
3:21
Speaker 3: but they're soft. The tootsy rolls. Man, those things can
3:23
Speaker 3: get affused to your teeth.
3:24
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, they do.
3:25
Speaker 5: Those are crown removers, that's what we call them.
3:27
Speaker 3: And jolly ranchers too. I know that we've talked about that,
3:30
Speaker 3: but I've actually had I've had moments when I was
3:32
Speaker 3: a kid where I would bite into a jolly rancher
3:35
Speaker 3: and it would get stuck on my tooth so bad
3:37
Speaker 3: that for a brief amount of time, we like, that's
3:39
Speaker 3: just there forever, that rancher is never moving. Of course,
3:44
Speaker 3: eventually your salava does the work and it loosens it up,
3:47
Speaker 3: but for a moment it could be kind of scary
3:48
Speaker 3: because it really does fuse to your teeth.
3:50
Speaker 4: Also, the to get technical heroes doctor Henley likes to do.
3:53
Speaker 4: The muscles we have to open our mouth are much
3:55
Speaker 4: weaker than the ones to close, so it is kind
3:57
Speaker 4: of panicking. You know, you're like, how kiss it? I
4:00
Speaker 4: can't pull my jaw open as easily as I can.
4:02
Speaker 3: Shut in What a I never thought of that before.
4:06
Speaker 4: Yeah, asking way back, way back dental school right there.
4:09
Speaker 4: But yeah, the muscles, the lateral terrogoid media, all that. Yeah, anyway,
4:15
Speaker 4: we can.
4:15
Speaker 3: Talk about these enjoyed that. I liked it. I like
4:18
Speaker 3: learning these things. The nice thing about learning about or
4:21
Speaker 3: about talking about these things is we don't we don't
4:23
Speaker 3: have to talk about it all kidding aside, we don't
4:25
Speaker 3: have to talk about it from a purely abstinent standpoint.
4:27
Speaker 3: Of course, you're not here to lecture on diet or
4:30
Speaker 3: candy or anything along those lines. So I mean, Halloween's Halloween.
4:32
Speaker 3: People are going to eat candy from Tom to Tom.
4:34
Speaker 3: What the doctors are here for are to maybe walk
4:37
Speaker 3: through some of the best practices, maybe avoid some of
4:40
Speaker 3: the worst ones, especially under certain circumstances, and if you
4:43
Speaker 3: have a problem, how to how to address that? Just
4:46
Speaker 3: generally speaking, if you're a parent looking out for your kid,
4:48
Speaker 3: or if you're a parent that likes to partake in
4:50
Speaker 3: candy themselves, if you're going to steer away from some
4:53
Speaker 3: of the candies, what are the ones that could do
4:54
Speaker 3: the most damage to your dental health?
4:58
Speaker 4: Well, you know, I think we already hit on the
4:59
Speaker 4: Jolly Rancher.
5:00
Speaker 3: That was.
5:00
Speaker 4: That's a tough one there. The the big classic are like,
5:05
Speaker 4: they don't I don't see them as much anymore. But
5:07
Speaker 4: the jawbreakers, the literal term, you know, the jaw breakers
5:12
Speaker 4: and or what was that? The jaw breakers and the
5:15
Speaker 4: uh one now and laters. Yeah, so that's a sticky one.
5:21
Speaker 4: But the jaw breakers there, the hard one, the hard
5:23
Speaker 4: ones that people would like break teeth on and pop
5:26
Speaker 4: crowns off with. So that's like the intense force of
5:31
Speaker 4: of that.
5:31
Speaker 3: And they're really ridiculous. They're really like they're they're just
5:34
Speaker 3: like eating rocks. Oh yeah, and you get like a
5:36
Speaker 3: tiny little sugar bit of sugar out of them.
5:38
Speaker 4: I mean that's the point I think was to make
5:40
Speaker 4: it ridiculous when they made them and have something that
5:43
Speaker 4: just kind of hung around there for a long time,
5:45
Speaker 4: so it's slowly delivering sugar and while it's in your
5:48
Speaker 4: mouth and it's so hard that you end up crushing
5:50
Speaker 4: and it doesn't dissolves, to end up trying to break
5:52
Speaker 4: it and crunch on it like a big block of ice,
5:55
Speaker 4: and you break things. So that's that's one version, one
5:58
Speaker 4: method of trauma by candy and the uh then the
6:04
Speaker 4: other is doctor he is horrific, said the now one
6:07
Speaker 4: Laters that you said.
6:08
Speaker 3: Now and laters.
6:08
Speaker 5: Yeah, they're like starbursts, but like twenty times harder. Yeah, right,
6:12
Speaker 5: and you have to like soak them in your mouth,
6:14
Speaker 5: get it? And I actually engineered some hard candy. I
6:17
Speaker 5: didn't realize how bad this was until I like got
6:19
Speaker 5: through a dozen of them, these caramel chocolate, dark chocolate
6:23
Speaker 5: things from Sam's Club. I can't get enough of them.
6:26
Speaker 5: They're amazing, well room temperature, They're nice and soft and chewy.
6:29
Speaker 5: Why would put them in the freezer thinking I could
6:32
Speaker 5: just like soak my mouth for a while and then
6:33
Speaker 5: like no, after a while, I'm like I'm biting way
6:36
Speaker 5: too hard to have to bite through this. So as
6:38
Speaker 5: a dentist myself. I do make mistakes, I'll admit it.
6:40
Speaker 5: I took them out of the freezer and I just
6:42
Speaker 5: keep them out and I have maybe one every week
6:44
Speaker 5: or so because I'm not I'm not good, just kidding
6:46
Speaker 5: one to day.
6:48
Speaker 3: Would the frigerator have been a good compromise. Maybe I.
6:52
Speaker 5: A fridge still too hard. I'm like, I got I
6:55
Speaker 5: just do room temperature.
6:57
Speaker 3: That's a shame because I do like colder candy. I mean,
6:59
Speaker 3: and that's yes, something else I guess you can caution
7:01
Speaker 3: against because candy that's merely sticky when it's room temperature
7:05
Speaker 3: or normal eating temperature, if you do pop it in
7:07
Speaker 3: refrigerator for a while or whatever to keep it from
7:09
Speaker 3: melting or whatever it might be, it makes it it
7:11
Speaker 3: could pop something off there.
7:13
Speaker 4: H So then you've got those those ones that are
7:15
Speaker 4: just you can crack a tooth on. The other ones
7:18
Speaker 4: that are more common I think around Halloween. Are those
7:21
Speaker 4: sticky ones we mentioned TUTSI rolls now and laters. What
7:26
Speaker 4: are the sugar daddies, the ones that the real ca
7:30
Speaker 4: Caramelli and sticky sugar daddies?
7:34
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, I'm sorry there is.
7:38
Speaker 3: I thought that it might predate the more well known
7:42
Speaker 3: term at this point.
7:45
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's basically at least it was called that
7:48
Speaker 4: when I was tug or treating. So anyhow, the yeah,
7:52
Speaker 4: those sticky ones are then the ones that can pull
7:55
Speaker 4: things off. If you've got a loose filling, it can
7:58
Speaker 4: pull it out. If you've got a crown, it can
8:00
Speaker 4: pop it off. I make if if you got a
8:02
Speaker 4: crown that was just put on like a week ago,
8:04
Speaker 4: it's some of these things are strong enough to pull
8:07
Speaker 4: them off. So that's nothing to really panic about if
8:12
Speaker 4: that were to happen. But get to your dentists and
8:14
Speaker 4: let them, let them put it back on. But this
8:15
Speaker 4: is the season that happens.
8:17
Speaker 3: Sugar Daddy is by the way, nineteen twenty five, that
8:19
Speaker 3: is when they were invented.
8:21
Speaker 5: On what what was it? It was originally called what.
8:24
Speaker 3: The Papa sucker?
8:25
Speaker 5: Oh my goodness.
8:26
Speaker 3: There you go from the James O. Welch Company is
8:29
Speaker 3: who originally created these, and they went on to create
8:31
Speaker 3: the Tootie roll. So that is that's where they originally
8:35
Speaker 3: giving Dennis business since nineteen twenty five. There, that's pretty
8:42
Speaker 3: that's pretty good. You know. One thing, you guys, being
8:45
Speaker 3: of the the ingenious minds you should come up with
8:47
Speaker 3: like PAM for the teeth, you know, like cooking spray
8:50
Speaker 3: that you can spray on your teeth and for a
8:51
Speaker 3: temporary amount of time eat candy without having to worry
8:53
Speaker 3: about it. You know. Yeah, like like teflon service for
8:56
Speaker 3: your teeth, you know, came up with it only only
8:58
Speaker 3: works for a couple of hours. You know, you can't
8:59
Speaker 3: do it all the time. You got to keep yourself
9:01
Speaker 3: in business.
9:01
Speaker 5: But Halloween night, you know, would not recommend spring teflon? Yeah,
9:05
Speaker 5: probably forever chemicals were learning not the best for the body.
9:09
Speaker 3: But otherwise yeah, yeah, maybe not maybe maybe not the
9:13
Speaker 3: best idea. Uh So, obviously kids are going to go
9:17
Speaker 3: do their trick or treating. Parents are gonna do their
9:18
Speaker 3: trick or treating. You know, teens are going to do there.
9:20
Speaker 3: There's gonna be loads and loads of candy in there.
9:24
Speaker 3: Is there anything? Is there is there some training that
9:26
Speaker 3: you can do before this, Like how can can you
9:28
Speaker 3: get your teeth ready? Is there something you can do
9:30
Speaker 3: to like sort of prepare for the marathon?
9:32
Speaker 6: No?
9:32
Speaker 4: The the key here is and the point I want
9:35
Speaker 4: to drive home is I'm not a fan of prohibiting
9:41
Speaker 4: children from eating candy around these times. But you got
9:44
Speaker 4: to do it in a smart enough way. So I'll
9:48
Speaker 4: say a few things that are obvious, but you'd be
9:51
Speaker 4: surprised the things that we encounter. For instance, you don't
9:55
Speaker 4: want to let your child go to sleep with their
9:58
Speaker 4: candy bag in their bed, right, and then it's just
10:02
Speaker 4: snack all night long. Yeah, exactly. So you know, some
10:06
Speaker 4: parents may not pay attention and then they suddenly that
10:09
Speaker 4: stays in their bed for about a week, and then
10:12
Speaker 4: they come to their next cleaning appointment and they got
10:13
Speaker 4: a whole bunch of cavities. Like, what's what's changed exactly here?
10:16
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that Halloween candy lasted a long time, and
10:20
Speaker 4: it was even at the wrong time because the key
10:24
Speaker 4: is limiting the exposure time of the sugars on your teeth.
10:28
Speaker 4: So the danger is that you have that Halloween can
10:32
Speaker 4: and we have it at our house as well. You know,
10:33
Speaker 4: I have these bags Halloween candy these kids collect forever,
10:36
Speaker 4: and it's just sitting on the counter and every time
10:39
Speaker 4: we walk by there popping another one in there. Well,
10:41
Speaker 4: that's over the course of the day, constantly bathing their
10:45
Speaker 4: to their teeth in sugars.
10:47
Speaker 7: Uh.
10:47
Speaker 4: So that is what does the damage. So what I
10:50
Speaker 4: recommend is to limit it to meal time. Is a
10:53
Speaker 4: is a good thing after the fact. You know, we're
10:54
Speaker 4: talking about how to handle candy that lingers in the house.
10:57
Speaker 4: Maybe limited to having it when you have a meal
11:02
Speaker 4: and be done with it and then they can brush
11:04
Speaker 4: their teeth afterwards, and really don't have to modify too
11:07
Speaker 4: much if you do. If you do it that way,
11:10
Speaker 4: but after trick or treat, have a period of time
11:14
Speaker 4: where they can enjoy their candy and then get them,
11:17
Speaker 4: you know, to get ready for bed, brush their teeth,
11:18
Speaker 4: go to bed, and don't re expose themselves to two
11:21
Speaker 4: more sugars after the fact. So it's just kind of
11:24
Speaker 4: being smart about how long they can have that exposure
11:27
Speaker 4: on their teeth.
11:28
Speaker 3: And it's not a bad idea. And again this is
11:31
Speaker 3: more of a teeth episode than apparently episode. But one
11:33
Speaker 3: thing I ran across last year my clever little kid.
11:36
Speaker 3: I don't know if it was on purpose. I'm assuming
11:37
Speaker 3: it's on purpose. She sequestered away a bag of single
11:41
Speaker 3: serve kitcats. I didn't know this, like for weeks or
11:45
Speaker 3: months after the holiday seasons, you know, once Halloween starts,
11:48
Speaker 3: it all kind of rolls into the end of the year,
11:49
Speaker 3: you know, because it's just the candy holiday. After candy holiday,
11:52
Speaker 3: it seems like. So I had been running across little
11:57
Speaker 3: packages of single serve kitkats that have been open, and
12:00
Speaker 3: I thought maybe my wife had him somewhere and would
12:01
Speaker 3: actually leave them on the table cat knock them off
12:03
Speaker 3: into the floor. So I didn't know what was going on.
12:05
Speaker 3: It wasn't an abundance, but there was some is like,
12:07
Speaker 3: there were some wors and you know, I'm a KitKat
12:09
Speaker 3: kind of guy, and I'm like, well, where are these things?
12:11
Speaker 3: Because you know, I kind of like kit cats on
12:13
Speaker 3: what am I finding? You know? And then eventually I'm
12:16
Speaker 3: like helping out a daughter cleaner room doing some different things.
12:19
Speaker 3: And she got this thing for Halloween a couple of
12:21
Speaker 3: years ago. It's like a little witch's cauldron that you
12:23
Speaker 3: can put different things in and it's got some batteries
12:25
Speaker 3: and it's a toy, but it's it's it's carried over
12:28
Speaker 3: for a couple of years. She really likes it. It
12:29
Speaker 3: turns out in the witch's cauldron she has a questioned
12:32
Speaker 3: away like a bag of single serve of single serf
12:36
Speaker 3: kit cats and so just every once in a while
12:38
Speaker 3: she would go play with that thing, like oh, kit
12:40
Speaker 3: cat and pull the kit cat out of there and
12:42
Speaker 3: leave the wrapper on the floor apparently, which is what
12:43
Speaker 3: kind of got me wise to it eventually. So be
12:45
Speaker 3: careful your kids. You know they're smart. They know they
12:48
Speaker 3: know how to keep that candy somewhere. They have a
12:49
Speaker 3: secret hiding place, maybe even their witch's cauldron.
12:52
Speaker 5: But not smart enough. You got to throw away the bag. Kids,
12:56
Speaker 5: Come on, you gotta hide it better. But no, I
13:00
Speaker 5: what we do in my house, we always check the candy,
13:02
Speaker 5: make sure there's nothing like super retentive, especially for our
13:05
Speaker 5: kid that's embraces, because that can ruin the braces right then.
13:08
Speaker 5: And of course doctor uh, our orthodontis will be like,
13:11
Speaker 5: why did you let them meet that? I'm like, I
13:13
Speaker 5: didn't know. But day after day what we do. I
13:16
Speaker 5: just go in there and grab like a handful and
13:18
Speaker 5: just throw it away and then eventually it's just gone.
13:20
Speaker 5: Because you're like, you know that candy. I'm like, you
13:23
Speaker 5: must have.
13:23
Speaker 3: It at all. Sorry, that's such a dad move man,
13:25
Speaker 3: that is. I do that with not just candy. I
13:27
Speaker 3: do that with a lot of stuff. They gotta get
13:29
Speaker 3: rid of it a little bit of a time and
13:30
Speaker 3: they'll never notice this car.
13:31
Speaker 5: How many stuffed animals do you really need?
13:34
Speaker 3: Now? Those I won't touch that. There there's a there's
13:37
Speaker 3: a catalog in my daughter's head on her stuff. He's
13:39
Speaker 3: and if one goes missing for any amount of time,
13:41
Speaker 3: there there there's heck to pay.
13:43
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it's.
13:45
Speaker 3: Again talking about the different types of candy. You mentioned
13:49
Speaker 3: a a kid with with with uh uh with races
13:52
Speaker 3: and things like that. What is like if you have
13:54
Speaker 3: a child or if you have a loved one that
13:56
Speaker 3: you know is coming over to your house, what is
13:57
Speaker 3: like acceptable ish candy that you could leave for someone
14:01
Speaker 3: that has that has bracees?
14:02
Speaker 5: Probably chocolates, honestly, right, because it's that's not chewy. The
14:07
Speaker 5: only thing that's actually you know, kind of creamy that
14:09
Speaker 5: melts because okay, I'm getting nerdy here. So cocoa beans,
14:14
Speaker 5: the cocoa powder whatever actually goes into chocolate melts at
14:18
Speaker 5: ninety eight degrees. You know, ELTs is ninety eight degrees
14:20
Speaker 5: your body, your body, So it's really cool how it melts.
14:23
Speaker 5: Like that's why it's the texture is so I think
14:25
Speaker 5: that's why the texture is so interesting. To our bodies
14:27
Speaker 5: because it melts, but because of that's it's very soft
14:30
Speaker 5: and pliable, And so pretty much anything with chocolate that
14:33
Speaker 5: doesn't have anything like chewy in the middle, like caramel
14:35
Speaker 5: caramel for those who say caramel, I think that might
14:38
Speaker 5: be good, But most things are gonna be some type
14:41
Speaker 5: of chewiness, right, So I always say, maybe have one Starburst,
14:45
Speaker 5: don't have the whole thing is Starburst, right, Maybe have
14:47
Speaker 5: some Skittles because those are kind of hard, but they're
14:49
Speaker 5: soft enough, but they become chewy. So the full answer
14:53
Speaker 5: is I don't really know. They're all they all have
14:56
Speaker 5: a risk factor, but to me, I think chocolate's the safest.
14:59
Speaker 4: I guess that's a good, good, good answer, good recommendation.
15:03
Speaker 3: That makes a lot of sense. And also it just
15:06
Speaker 3: you know, life is is a measurement of degrees and inches.
15:09
Speaker 3: If the melting point of chocolate would have been like
15:11
Speaker 3: one oh one, we probably never have got Eminem's, you
15:14
Speaker 3: know exactly. You would need that candy shell to keep
15:17
Speaker 3: him melting.
15:17
Speaker 5: Chocolate chip cookies, right, yeah, someone someone wanted a chocolate
15:21
Speaker 5: cookie and they didn't have chocolate. They had chocolate chips.
15:24
Speaker 5: They put them in the cookie thinking it would just
15:26
Speaker 5: melt through.
15:27
Speaker 3: It didn't.
15:27
Speaker 5: They're like, what is this? Uh, they're gonna throw it away.
15:29
Speaker 5: They tried him, like well this is delicious, and then
15:32
Speaker 5: the whole world went nuts.
15:33
Speaker 3: It probably wasn't the Earl of chocolate Chip. Ever, every
15:36
Speaker 3: time I remember that the guy named Sandwich invented the sandwiches,
15:38
Speaker 3: I just everything was invented by the guy that that
15:41
Speaker 3: create Yeah, I think it was like the Earl of Sandwich,
15:42
Speaker 3: Like serious, I think, are you kidding me right now? No,
15:44
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure that's real.
15:45
Speaker 5: He's making this out.
15:46
Speaker 3: I'll have to double check it. But uh.
15:47
Speaker 4: And the hamburger is a guy is a man out
15:51
Speaker 4: of ham.
15:53
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness. That was. Yeah, we won't get into
15:55
Speaker 3: that right before we go to the break. I did
15:57
Speaker 3: I want I did want to ask the question. So
16:00
Speaker 3: there was just a viral thing when the internet a
16:02
Speaker 3: couple of weeks ago with a lady that was like
16:04
Speaker 3: talking about hamburgers and like how she went out to
16:06
Speaker 3: eat with a bunch of her friends and she was
16:09
Speaker 3: like a lady asked her she wanted a hamburger. She's like,
16:12
Speaker 3: I don't eat pork. I can't have a hamburger. Lady's like, no,
16:15
Speaker 3: do you want a hamberger, you know, a hammer? She's like,
16:17
Speaker 3: I can't eat that. It's made out of pork. She's like, no,
16:18
Speaker 3: it's made out of beef. It is definitely not made
16:20
Speaker 3: out of beef. Because think of the name.
16:23
Speaker 4: She's brilliant.
16:24
Speaker 3: Well, is it a is a scam or not? I
16:26
Speaker 3: don't know, Okay, anyway, dentures and stuff, So if you
16:30
Speaker 3: have if you have like loose teeth, or you have
16:32
Speaker 3: dentres that slide around or something like that, that adds another
16:34
Speaker 3: layer of complexity on things.
16:36
Speaker 4: I mean, Mike about sticky things cause some problems.
16:39
Speaker 3: You might want to get closer to the abstain if
16:41
Speaker 3: you can there. But I mean there's still some things
16:43
Speaker 3: that you can do that you can help if you
16:45
Speaker 3: have some problems with your dentures.
16:46
Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure. I mean that's that kind of brings
16:48
Speaker 4: us into now, I want to enjoy these types of things.
16:52
Speaker 4: I want to eat what I want, not what I
16:53
Speaker 4: can type of a discussion. And around Halloween, as you said,
16:59
Speaker 4: kicking off the holiday season all the way through New
17:03
Speaker 4: Year's there's a lot of different foods that we eat,
17:06
Speaker 4: and that's the time of the year that a lot
17:09
Speaker 4: of patients come in and say, you know, I just
17:10
Speaker 4: don't want to be around my family and my teeth
17:12
Speaker 4: popping out on me, you know, and which is can
17:15
Speaker 4: be very embarrassing, or they have to excuse themselves go
17:17
Speaker 4: to the bathroom to get something cleaned out from underneath
17:20
Speaker 4: their dentures or partials, and that's where you know, we
17:23
Speaker 4: can help with that and talk about the different options
17:26
Speaker 4: on what we can do in that scenario. So, I
17:29
Speaker 4: mean a lot of times it has to do with
17:31
Speaker 4: a partial denture. That is some partial denture is exactly that.
17:35
Speaker 4: It's not a full denture, but it's part of a
17:38
Speaker 4: denture where you have some teeth remaining in your mouth,
17:41
Speaker 4: but we've made an appliance that hugs around the remaining
17:44
Speaker 4: teeth and gives you back the missing teeth all in
17:47
Speaker 4: one piece. And those can be great. Those can also
17:52
Speaker 4: be a source of a lot of stress. And for
17:56
Speaker 4: some patients they've resigned themselves to the fact that you know,
17:58
Speaker 4: this have this partial and it's it's doing okay, like
18:02
Speaker 4: it's a good when I smile, you know, it looks okay,
18:05
Speaker 4: But when I go to eat, it either hurts or
18:07
Speaker 4: it flops. Around, moves around, and comes out, and that's
18:12
Speaker 4: what we want to try to avoid. So if that
18:14
Speaker 4: is the situation that you find yourself in, there's generally
18:19
Speaker 4: a way to make that partial hold in better. So
18:22
Speaker 4: when you go and have those candies, those starbursts and
18:25
Speaker 4: things and other foods that you enjoy around the holiday season,
18:29
Speaker 4: you're not going to have that discomfort and the embarrassment
18:32
Speaker 4: of that partial coming in and out. So the way
18:36
Speaker 4: to fix that is to basically create more retention, create
18:40
Speaker 4: additional clasping we call it, to hold around the other teeth.
18:43
Speaker 4: And then now patients think, well, I don't want those wires.
18:46
Speaker 4: You see those old movies with people with kind of
18:48
Speaker 4: big wires in their mouth, you know, holding teeth in,
18:50
Speaker 4: And no, we have a lot of different options now too,
18:53
Speaker 4: where those clasps we call them, can be made out
18:56
Speaker 4: of like a gum tissue color, so it really dissolves
18:59
Speaker 4: and the into your gums kind of disappears into your
19:02
Speaker 4: gums and also holds the teeth in very nicely. So
19:06
Speaker 4: that's a great option right now too.
19:08
Speaker 5: And a lot of times patients come and see us
19:11
Speaker 5: and they have a type of partial that is not
19:13
Speaker 5: necessarily the top of the line partial, I guess because
19:16
Speaker 5: there are levels and we've discussed that prior, but especially
19:20
Speaker 5: the all acrylic meaning there's not a lot of there's
19:22
Speaker 5: not a base of metal that supports it, so it's
19:25
Speaker 5: not very rigid. It's very flexible, and a lot of
19:28
Speaker 5: patients get that thinking it's gonna be better that's flexible,
19:31
Speaker 5: but we find over and over again that usually that's
19:33
Speaker 5: not as good meaning patients. So we need something that's
19:36
Speaker 5: more rigid that things can't slide underneath it. And another
19:40
Speaker 5: thing to think about. If you take a tooth out
19:43
Speaker 5: and then replace it with the partial, after a while,
19:46
Speaker 5: that bone that was supporting that tooth will decrease, and
19:49
Speaker 5: so sometimes we need to reline that partial, add some
19:52
Speaker 5: thickness to it because the bone's gonna recede over here
19:55
Speaker 5: about six months to a year until it finally kind
19:57
Speaker 5: of levels out. And so that's another thing that we
19:59
Speaker 5: need to think about, like when did you get your partial?
20:01
Speaker 5: Can we fix it? Can we realize it? Do you
20:02
Speaker 5: need a new partial? Do you talk about having a
20:05
Speaker 5: metal substructure, a cast metal framework partial that's going to
20:08
Speaker 5: slide in better, be a little more retentive and just
20:12
Speaker 5: be better for you. And that's kind of that discussion
20:15
Speaker 5: that we need to have because sometimes we I never
20:17
Speaker 5: want to promise a patient something that I can't deliver,
20:20
Speaker 5: and sometimes I see that maybe they would promise something
20:23
Speaker 5: that they didn't expect to not receive, or their promise
20:27
Speaker 5: that they received was not actually delivered. I always try
20:30
Speaker 5: to say, I'm going to do the best I can,
20:32
Speaker 5: but here are the levels of what I can provide.
20:34
Speaker 3: It's always good to be an honest broke with that,
20:36
Speaker 3: and yeah, you don't want to underdeliver on something like
20:38
Speaker 3: that and with somebody's teeth, you know, that's that's a
20:40
Speaker 3: pretty major thing. Talking this morning with doctor Stephen grieb

Speaker 3: zero eight three es aerre four non three five five
24:40
Speaker 3: zero zero eight is how you can get a hold
24:41
Speaker 3: of this this morning. The thing that I had talked about,
24:43
Speaker 3: and I don't think that I did a very good
24:45
Speaker 3: job in explaining it, but various times through my life
24:48
Speaker 3: I don't know how many times, but younger, older, within
24:51
Speaker 3: recent memory, as recent as last night, and at various
24:54
Speaker 3: other times, this thing will happen to me when I'm
24:56
Speaker 3: eating and occasionally talking. I think it's happened before when
25:00
Speaker 3: just like chomp my mouth closed too quickly after talking,
25:03
Speaker 3: where everything will be fine, I don't have any pain
25:06
Speaker 3: or anything like that, and then just suddenly I will
25:07
Speaker 3: bite down and it's almost like you know, like when
25:10
Speaker 3: you're walking off of a step and maybe you miss
25:13
Speaker 3: the last step and you and you take two at
25:14
Speaker 3: a time and you hit the landing and it doesn't
25:16
Speaker 3: do any real damage. You're just a little off balance
25:18
Speaker 3: for a second, and maybe it jams or knee or something.
25:21
Speaker 3: I don't know how, but that's sort of how it feels.
25:23
Speaker 2: Like.
25:23
Speaker 3: It's like I was expecting for there to be resistance
25:26
Speaker 3: or something there. Anyway I chomped down too quickly, too snappily,
25:29
Speaker 3: or something like that, and then it just like gives
25:31
Speaker 3: like a like hitting a symbol. It just like reverberates
25:33
Speaker 3: throughout my head for a second and even hurts for
25:36
Speaker 3: a minute, but then it goes away. It's not a
25:37
Speaker 3: cute pain, but I can still feel it there, whether
25:40
Speaker 3: it's in my head or real or not, like hours
25:42
Speaker 3: later sometimes and then eventually goes away. And it's not
25:44
Speaker 3: a tooth that I'm aware of that has any problems
25:46
Speaker 3: or anything otherwise. It's just like a moment of intense
25:49
Speaker 3: sensitivity due to some sort of clomping down on it.
25:52
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know. I'll think you described it well, comparing
25:54
Speaker 4: it to kind of jamming your knee, your ankle coming off.
25:57
Speaker 3: Of the yeah, stubbing my tooth.
25:59
Speaker 4: Yeah, right, Because what happens is you have something the
26:04
Speaker 4: fancy word is aclusion, the way that your teeth come together,
26:07
Speaker 4: the way that they bite. Now, we have in our
26:10
Speaker 4: head anywhere up to thirty two teeth, right that can
26:13
Speaker 4: have different ways that they interconnect and contact and touch
26:18
Speaker 4: one another. And if in our hinge, our jaw joint
26:22
Speaker 4: is very kind of it's the only one like it
26:24
Speaker 4: in the body. We've got two joints connected with one bone,
26:27
Speaker 4: you know, slinged around slung around our head. And if
26:30
Speaker 4: anything goes off with one or one or the other
26:33
Speaker 4: of those joints right by our ears, then you can
26:38
Speaker 4: imagine that the jaw itself moves slightly. So that means
26:42
Speaker 4: the teeth when they come together, they're going to come
26:44
Speaker 4: together in a different fashion. So it's kind of hard
26:47
Speaker 4: to explain with words, but long story short, your bite
26:51
Speaker 4: could be a little bit off, and that one tooth
26:55
Speaker 4: is in what we call a position of interference with
27:00
Speaker 4: touching down evenly everywhere in your mouth, and then it
27:04
Speaker 4: could be off just slightly and as you're chewing and
27:09
Speaker 4: going to town on whatever you're chewing on, then suddenly
27:12
Speaker 4: that interference is kind of sticking up a little bit
27:14
Speaker 4: in the wrong place, and you bite down a little
27:16
Speaker 4: bit sideways just in the right spot to zing that tooth.
27:21
Speaker 4: And the way that we chew and the strength of
27:24
Speaker 4: our jaw muscles are so intense that it can really
27:28
Speaker 4: stove that tooth for a brief period of time. And
27:32
Speaker 4: then what we have to be careful about is that
27:34
Speaker 4: now you've got this tooth that's been slightly injured. Now
27:37
Speaker 4: is it going to just be a little bit bruised
27:39
Speaker 4: and linger for a while, or is it going to
27:43
Speaker 4: just be like you twisting your anchor real quickly and
27:46
Speaker 4: the pain go away very quickly, which is more commonly
27:50
Speaker 4: the scenario. But if it happens chronically over time, then
27:55
Speaker 4: that become an issue. If we've isolated it to one
27:58
Speaker 4: specific tooth in particular.
28:00
Speaker 3: Man, it's amazing wh we ask a doctor a question
28:01
Speaker 3: because that explains it perfect.
28:02
Speaker 5: That was amazing.
28:05
Speaker 3: I mean, that explains as because I do have a
28:07
Speaker 3: slightly miss aligned bite. I think it like if I
28:10
Speaker 3: hold my mouth in like a perfect bite, I have
28:12
Speaker 3: to like exert pressure. It doesn't naturally fall that way.
28:15
Speaker 3: You know. That's exactly amazing.
28:21
Speaker 5: And and on top of that, whenever, so say you
28:24
Speaker 5: get out of bed at night and it's dark and
28:27
Speaker 5: you reach for the light switch, do y'all know why
28:29
Speaker 5: we know where that light switch is and our mind
28:31
Speaker 5: and our hand can reach for it. It's called proprioception.
28:34
Speaker 5: Same thing with their teeth. Whenever we expect the teeth
28:37
Speaker 5: to come together in the right spot, sometimes if they're
28:40
Speaker 5: if the teeth have shifted or the joint has shifted.
28:42
Speaker 5: Like our Shuvement was explaining, you expect them to come
28:45
Speaker 5: together in the right spot or the spot that you're
28:48
Speaker 5: used to, and they don't. They hitting the wrong spot,
28:50
Speaker 5: and then they give you a zing, so our mind
28:53
Speaker 5: thinks they're in the right spot and they might have
28:55
Speaker 5: moved a little bit. So I think that's another way
28:58
Speaker 5: to explain it. I guess I'm more nerdy, and I'll
29:00
Speaker 5: use big words like prope exception. But I think doctor Steven,
29:03
Speaker 5: you'd explain that.
29:04
Speaker 3: It makes perfect sense. It makes perfect I've just wondered
29:06
Speaker 3: that over time. I never thought it was a huge issue.
29:08
Speaker 3: I was just like, what is that? And why does
29:09
Speaker 3: it keep happening?
29:10
Speaker 4: And it's tough to understand because a lot of and
29:12
Speaker 4: because you think your teeth, as I've said before, I
29:14
Speaker 4: just locked in concrete and don't move. But the facts
29:16
Speaker 4: are that our our teeth move almost all the time
29:19
Speaker 4: in a very slight manner. That's why patients after orthore,
29:22
Speaker 4: I have to wear these retainers for the rest of
29:24
Speaker 4: my life.
29:24
Speaker 5: Well, you only have to wear them, but if you want.
29:27
Speaker 4: You only have to wear them as long as you
29:28
Speaker 4: want your teeth to stay straight.
29:30
Speaker 3: That's right there.
29:31
Speaker 4: If you want to be straight the rest of your life,
29:33
Speaker 4: then you swhare them.
29:33
Speaker 3: There is something to be said about life and dispelling
29:35
Speaker 3: small mysteries, you know, Like so that's a small mystery
29:37
Speaker 3: that that's two of them. This morning, for me, I
29:39
Speaker 3: found a sock that I've been missing forever. That is
29:41
Speaker 3: this sure this shirt I think I had war maybe
29:44
Speaker 3: since early summer or something like that. I don't know,
29:46
Speaker 3: and not a bad shirt, you know, Uh, but I
29:48
Speaker 3: put it on and uh and one sleeve was a
29:51
Speaker 3: little like why does my sleeve feel kind of balky.
29:53
Speaker 3: There I'll reach in and there's my song. There's my
29:55
Speaker 3: sock man. I've been missing that thing for mysel if like,
29:57
Speaker 3: there it is, and I'd save.
29:58
Speaker 5: The other end, right, You're like, oh no, it's like
30:00
Speaker 5: a caterpillar.
30:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, is there a squirrel in there or something?
30:03
Speaker 3: But yeah, luckily it wasn't, and so yeah, that's too small.
30:05
Speaker 3: Mysteries resolved this morning. That makes me feel better. There's
30:07
Speaker 3: my day off to a good start. We're talking this
30:09
Speaker 3: morning to doctor Steven and doctor Carson from Garib Dental Group.
30:12
Speaker 3: More information online Greib Dentalgroup dot com. Having a hard
30:16
Speaker 3: time saying dental this morning. I don't know why I'm
30:17
Speaker 3: putting a K in it, Dentle, that's your dental group.
30:20
Speaker 3: It's a Greed Dentalgroup dot com. You spell at g
30:22
Speaker 3: h A R e E V gree but dentalgroup dot com.
30:25
Speaker 3: You can text us this morning three zero four nine
30:27
Speaker 3: three five five zero zero eight. We've been talking about
30:28
Speaker 3: the holidays. Halloween, of course, is right around the corner.
30:31
Speaker 3: The next one coming up after that is Thanksgiving. In
30:34
Speaker 3: my mind, I always assist it.
30:35
Speaker 5: I mean it's coming too fast.
30:36
Speaker 3: I always associate the turn between Halloween and Thanksgiving is
30:41
Speaker 3: like really the beginning of cold weather. Now, in recent
30:44
Speaker 3: years that hasn't necessarily been the case. We've had some
30:46
Speaker 3: pretty mild Thanksgivings. However, cold sensitivity on your tooth doesn't
30:50
Speaker 3: necessarily mean that it's you know, four degrees outside. It
30:53
Speaker 3: could be the cold things that you're drinking and things
30:55
Speaker 3: along those lines, and that could be a real issue
30:57
Speaker 3: as well this time of year.
30:57
Speaker 4: Yeah, but even even with a mild, kind of cool
31:01
Speaker 4: morning like like this morning, it is a bit of
31:03
Speaker 4: a change in the seasons and that and patients do
31:05
Speaker 4: come in saying, you know, now my teeth are a
31:07
Speaker 4: little extra sensitive, you know, getting out to my car
31:09
Speaker 4: in the morning. Why is that? And that the the
31:14
Speaker 4: general and most common answer is that it's it's nothing
31:19
Speaker 4: to necessarily panic about, but that highlights the need of
31:22
Speaker 4: routine dental care to make sure that things aren't going
31:25
Speaker 4: out of control. But a lot of times it's what
31:28
Speaker 4: we call gingeble gum recession, and that exposes a very
31:32
Speaker 4: sensitive part of our tooth. It's naturally just has thinner
31:35
Speaker 4: material on it instead of that thickened anmal, you're down
31:38
Speaker 4: to the root surface that has a very thin covering
31:40
Speaker 4: on it. And that also the distance between the air
31:44
Speaker 4: outside and the nerve on the inside of the tooth
31:48
Speaker 4: is much smaller, so that air gets in through the
31:52
Speaker 4: little passages within our tooth and lights up those nerves.
31:55
Speaker 4: And patients are like walking around with tight lips, you know,
31:57
Speaker 4: because they don't want their teeth to hurt, you know,
32:00
Speaker 4: in the morning. So so that is the reason it
32:03
Speaker 4: is something that should be evaluated. If it's a chronic issue,
32:07
Speaker 4: and especially if you don't aren't seeing a dentist regularly,
32:10
Speaker 4: that highlights that you need to to get in there regularly.
32:12
Speaker 4: They may be able to put some fluoride on those
32:15
Speaker 4: areas to help desensitize the area, or you may have
32:19
Speaker 4: a need for a filling in the area. Or if
32:23
Speaker 4: it's if it's one tooth, this one tooth, you know,
32:25
Speaker 4: when the air cold air hits it's it's really killing me.
32:28
Speaker 4: It may need something more significant like a root canal,
32:31
Speaker 4: or a crown or or a filling. So yeah, a
32:34
Speaker 4: lot of different things. It could be.
32:35
Speaker 3: Does somebody like a like a runner or somebody that
32:40
Speaker 3: runs or walks a lot in the morning or something
32:41
Speaker 3: like that they discover these things or could they discover
32:45
Speaker 3: these a little quicker because you're breathing the cold air
32:47
Speaker 3: when it does turn cold, that you notice the sensitivity more. Well.
32:50
Speaker 4: I mean, if they're an avid runner and they have
32:52
Speaker 4: this condition, they're getting fixed pretty quickly.
32:55
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I don't I don't
32:57
Speaker 3: think I have a sensitive tooth problem, but I do
32:59
Speaker 3: like like one of the ways to wake myself up
33:01
Speaker 3: if it's cold outside is I'll just breathe quickly through
33:03
Speaker 3: my teeth from it, because you know, it gives you, like,
33:06
Speaker 3: you know, it gives you a little little spark if
33:07
Speaker 3: you need to wake up.
33:08
Speaker 5: Some of that is an interesting way to look at it. Now,
33:11
Speaker 5: speaking of dental entrepreneurship, you know, we all wear jackets
33:15
Speaker 5: in the morning, but what if we come up with
33:16
Speaker 5: like a tooth jacket.
33:19
Speaker 4: Right, Oh, okay, little tooth blanket that's right.
33:21
Speaker 3: To keep it warm as well, like, yeah, I can
33:23
Speaker 3: have little zippers on it. And obviously this is a joke. Oh,
33:28
Speaker 3: we have just a couple minutes left in the in
33:30
Speaker 3: the program, so very very briefly, of course, not all
33:33
Speaker 3: of your dentist office are going to be open as
33:36
Speaker 3: the holidays start to get full into effect. But Greed
33:38
Speaker 3: Dental Group helps with that because you guys have folks
33:40
Speaker 3: on call and there are tooth emergency sometimes, so you
33:42
Speaker 3: can walk folks through a little bit if you have
33:44
Speaker 3: a tooth that breaks or comes out, or you have
33:45
Speaker 3: some other sort of emergency. What can folks do if
33:48
Speaker 3: expect around the holiday.
33:49
Speaker 4: Yes, so of course call your dentist and see if
33:51
Speaker 4: they can help you out if if you find yourself
33:53
Speaker 4: in a bind on a weekend or just can't get somewhere.
33:55
Speaker 4: A lot of times there are the temporary cement and
34:00
Speaker 4: temporary tooth filling material that you can get over the counter.
34:03
Speaker 4: Some people do really well with them, others just can't
34:07
Speaker 4: fiddle with them much at all. But the keys there
34:10
Speaker 4: are too to get the material. Follow the instructions on
34:14
Speaker 4: the packaging if you find yourself in a bind, and
34:18
Speaker 4: try to get the tooth as dry as you can,
34:21
Speaker 4: and then you can insert that material into any type
34:24
Speaker 4: of a cavity that you may have. But of course
34:27
Speaker 4: we want to try to help our patients out if
34:29
Speaker 4: they find themselves in a situation such as that where
34:32
Speaker 4: we can bring them in and get things taken care of.
34:36
Speaker 4: But a lot of times patients have trouble with a
34:40
Speaker 4: temporary crown, let's say that they have that they're trying
34:45
Speaker 4: to deal with over the holidays. And that's another reason
34:48
Speaker 4: that we always advocate for patients to come in well
34:55
Speaker 4: before the holidays before undergoing significant treatment, because we want
34:58
Speaker 4: to avoid those types of scenarios. While we'll stuffer to
35:02
Speaker 4: get in off.
35:03
Speaker 5: The day before Christmas, yeah, day before will open.
35:07
Speaker 4: But still, you know, I want to have I want
35:09
Speaker 4: to get my smile looking better by tomorrow, you know.
35:12
Speaker 4: I mean, there's things we can do one day. But
35:17
Speaker 4: but nonetheless, Yeah, if you find yourself dealing with the
35:19
Speaker 4: temporary crown again, there are temporary cements that you can
35:23
Speaker 4: get over the counter at your favorite drug store typically,
35:27
Speaker 4: and those those can can help out in a pinch.
35:30
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure. You never know when things like that
35:32
Speaker 3: will come up where you need something like that. Somebody
35:34
Speaker 3: could have a you know, an emergency at your dinner table.
35:37
Speaker 3: You know, somebody could uh have a a tooth that
35:40
Speaker 3: that cracks like I've had that happen before in the
35:42
Speaker 3: middle of eating. Or you know, if people still play
35:44
Speaker 3: football at halftime or whatever Thanksgiving. I don't know if
35:47
Speaker 3: people do that anymore.
35:48
Speaker 5: But you know, you're I know a family that does
35:49
Speaker 5: a little bit.
35:50
Speaker 3: Too much of a two hand tag at the wrong
35:52
Speaker 3: place maybe, and and someone gets knocked over, you get
35:54
Speaker 3: a tooth. I mean, the problems happen, you know, so
35:56
Speaker 3: you need to be aware of where you can get
35:58
Speaker 3: help at during the during holidays.
36:00
Speaker 4: It's not a bad idea, absolutely, yeah, yeah, Colevis if
36:03
Speaker 4: if you have trouble, give us a call. We have
36:04
Speaker 4: an on call number or have doctors on call that
36:07
Speaker 4: that can help out. And sometimes you just need to
36:09
Speaker 4: talk to somebody and say, you know, here's the situation
36:12
Speaker 4: and yeah, nothing's killing me. Do I need to worry
36:14
Speaker 4: about it? Or what do I do? And we're happy
36:16
Speaker 4: to help out with that.
36:17
Speaker 3: Metro helped me out with my issue where I had
36:20
Speaker 3: some bleeding after the work that I had done and
36:23
Speaker 3: I had a call after hours and it was a
36:25
Speaker 3: lot of blood. I was you know, I knew that
36:27
Speaker 3: I was probably not dying, but at the same time,
36:29
Speaker 3: my kid didn't and she was. She was like dead.
36:32
Speaker 3: Blood is just like gushing out of your mouth. That
36:34
Speaker 3: can't be good. But Metri walked me right through. We
36:37
Speaker 3: got it taken care of in just a few minutes
36:38
Speaker 3: and it made a lot of difference for us. So yeah,
36:40
