Speaker 3: Gh A R e B GREEB Dentalgroup dot com. So
1:57
Speaker 3: plenty of stuff that we're going to talk about and
1:59
Speaker 3: where we want to kind of start because I know
2:01
Speaker 3: we're going to get into sleep appy it just a
2:02
Speaker 3: little bit, so if you have questions about sleep appy
2:04
Speaker 3: or we're going to do that maybe in the second
2:05
Speaker 3: half of the program a little bit. We don't talk
2:07
Speaker 3: about that a lot on this program. And I know
2:08
Speaker 3: that a lot of folks. I have tons of people
2:10
Speaker 3: in my family that have been diagnosed and treated and
2:12
Speaker 3: so forth with it, and the quality of life change
2:16
Speaker 3: that's happened afterwards and they get treatment for it is incredible.
2:18
Speaker 3: I mean, it really is something that's worth knowing how
2:20
Speaker 3: to diagnose, knowing how to treat it, and what it
2:22
Speaker 3: means for that to happen. And so that's something we'll
2:24
Speaker 3: talk about a little bit as well. And we want
2:26
Speaker 3: to talk a little bit about going under the gas,
2:30
Speaker 3: the laughing gast. You'll appreciate this, doctor Henley. My daughter
2:34
Speaker 3: had her yearly check up just a couple of weeks ago,
2:37
Speaker 3: actually his last week when I was off, and she
2:40
Speaker 3: every year, her tradition is is she'll she'll write out
2:43
Speaker 3: now six or seven questions to take into her primary
2:45
Speaker 3: doctor ask her about you know, what about this? What
2:48
Speaker 3: about this? And it could be anything, it could So
2:50
Speaker 3: one of her questions this time around was how laughing
2:53
Speaker 3: gas works, and so she wanted specifically to know. She's like,
2:55
Speaker 3: how does it work? Like what does it do to me?
2:57
Speaker 3: I don't know why we've never told her that she's
2:59
Speaker 3: going to have to go under anything. She just write
3:01
Speaker 3: about it and decided that it was something that she
3:02
Speaker 3: needed to learn about. So so now she's all up
3:05
Speaker 3: to speed on laughing gas and she's all down on it, just.
3:07
Speaker 6: Like Daddy, right, I mean, like you, you were so inquisitive.
3:11
Speaker 6: You always have great questions Dale, So I think you
3:13
Speaker 6: you're training her well.
3:15
Speaker 3: She she's The problem with her is she thinks she
3:17
Speaker 3: can do everything right away. Like the moment she learns
3:20
Speaker 3: about something, she thinks that she should just be able
3:22
Speaker 3: to do it, which is pretty good.
3:23
Speaker 5: I would love to explain the science, all the details
3:28
Speaker 5: of how that works.
3:29
Speaker 7: That's kind of his reelhouse. So we'll let him go.
3:31
Speaker 6: So generally speaking, whenever it's me and doctor Steven in studio,
3:35
Speaker 6: I will start going into the weeds and then doctor
3:37
Speaker 6: Stephen will jump and be like Henley, slow down, you
3:40
Speaker 6: are a little bit too in the weeds. But no,
3:43
Speaker 6: it's it's it's so interesting when it comes to sedation
3:46
Speaker 6: because people say just put me to sleep, or I
3:49
Speaker 6: don't want to be put to sleep, or I want
3:50
Speaker 6: to be put under. You know, we have all these
3:52
Speaker 6: connotations and there's so many different words and so many
3:55
Speaker 6: different ways to describe it. But generally speaking, sedation is
3:59
Speaker 6: a spectrum. There's no sedation all the way up to
4:03
Speaker 6: general sedation, which is in a hospital where you actually
4:06
Speaker 6: are kind of put out and you are actually completely unaware.
4:09
Speaker 6: And so between that there's multiple different types of sedation.
4:15
Speaker 6: There's minimal, moderate, heavy, and then all the way up
4:18
Speaker 6: to general and go ahead. I'm so it's really neat
4:22
Speaker 6: about what we do in my office, and actually doctor
4:25
Speaker 6: Scarberry does some sedation his office. Doctor Stephen does sedation
4:29
Speaker 6: pretty much. Most dentists do some type of sedation, whether
4:31
Speaker 6: it's laughing gas like your daughter was asking about, which
4:35
Speaker 6: is pretty much a nitrous oxide. It was discovered in
4:39
Speaker 6: the eighteen hundreds where there was a dentist watching I
4:43
Speaker 6: think it was a it was a carnival show and
4:46
Speaker 6: there was some guy that was pretty much hopped up
4:48
Speaker 6: on nitrous fell fell into a table or something, broke
4:51
Speaker 6: a leg and didn't even mind. And so he kind
4:54
Speaker 6: of figured, I could use this in my in my office.
4:57
Speaker 6: How awesome would that be? And so it kind of
4:59
Speaker 6: started out a kind of a circus thing, and now
5:01
Speaker 6: it's actually used safely in our offices. But nitrous oxide
5:06
Speaker 6: is a great tool to do minimal sedation. Whenever you
5:09
Speaker 6: just walk in to a NIST office you need just
5:12
Speaker 6: a little bit of help. And then the next step
5:14
Speaker 6: up above that is something called anziolysis or minimal sedation,
5:18
Speaker 6: where you actually provide a pill that kind of puts you,
5:24
Speaker 6: makes you a little bit drowsy, and then you can
5:25
Speaker 6: add nitrous on top of that. And then of course
5:28
Speaker 6: the sedation that doctor Steven and I do moderate sedation,
5:31
Speaker 6: where we actually add a little bit more powerful drugs
5:35
Speaker 6: to get you a little bit more comfortable. And there's
5:38
Speaker 6: a there's a whole process to that, because moderate sedation
5:42
Speaker 6: can only be done safely if you have the right
5:46
Speaker 6: if you choose your patients wisely. I've had to turn
5:50
Speaker 6: away some patients because I've deemed them not healthy enough
5:52
Speaker 6: for it, and so we do it safely. We do
5:55
Speaker 6: it where we do it an hour long consultation where
5:59
Speaker 6: we talk about family history, we talk about health history,
6:01
Speaker 6: we do all the baseline medical diagnoses, make sure that
6:06
Speaker 6: the patient is safe enough for it, and we've had
6:09
Speaker 6: to change some modalities because of that. But modern sedation
6:11
Speaker 6: is the limit to what we do in my office,
6:15
Speaker 6: and it's very very successful. I'd say, I think it's
6:20
Speaker 6: very fun whenever they come out. My favorite thing to
6:22
Speaker 6: do is whenever we're putting the patient into the car
6:25
Speaker 6: and they go, when are we going to start? And
6:28
Speaker 6: I go, We're done and they're like, no, there's no
6:30
Speaker 6: way we're done. Are you getting me? I'm like yeah,
6:33
Speaker 6: And then I always tell them a secret word. And
6:36
Speaker 6: then the next time I see them, I ask if
6:37
Speaker 6: they know the secret word? No one ever does. They
6:39
Speaker 6: always just the best part about the station I do.
6:41
Speaker 6: They just forget about what happened that day, which a
6:45
Speaker 6: lot of most every single patient wants to forget about
6:47
Speaker 6: what happened. Not that it's scary, but you know it's, uh,
6:51
Speaker 6: you don't want to experience. You don't want to I
6:53
Speaker 6: don't think you want to have a Let's just say
6:56
Speaker 6: a kronoscopy and remember what happened, right, you know, I mean.
7:01
Speaker 7: We're thankful to be able to offer that within our group.
7:03
Speaker 3: Now, I was going to mention that that's not something
7:05
Speaker 3: that's necessarily common at all dental practices, that you offer
7:08
Speaker 3: that range of those services, right.
7:11
Speaker 5: That's true. We're thankful to be able to offer that.
7:14
Speaker 5: There's so many patients that come in with dental anxiety,
7:17
Speaker 5: and for many of them, it's something that happened when
7:20
Speaker 5: they were very, very young, and you don't forget that,
7:22
Speaker 5: I mean several of them, you know. Thankfully, dentistries come
7:25
Speaker 5: a long way, and the procedures that we can do,
7:27
Speaker 5: the ease of the procedures, the speed.
7:28
Speaker 7: That we can do things. It used not to be
7:30
Speaker 7: that way.
7:31
Speaker 5: And a lot of people have really traumatic experiences, even
7:34
Speaker 5: as young children, where they came in, they come in
7:36
Speaker 5: and they just to get them to come in and
7:38
Speaker 5: sit in the chair as hard they're like, I still
7:41
Speaker 5: remember being in that room. I remember what the dentists
7:44
Speaker 5: looked like. I remember what the room looked like. I
7:46
Speaker 5: was six years old. I had an obsessed tooth. Whatever
7:49
Speaker 5: it was it was, it was the most scary event
7:52
Speaker 5: of my life and I still can't get over that.
7:54
Speaker 7: And I'm fifty now or whatever the age is.
7:58
Speaker 5: So when people really need something done like that, to
8:00
Speaker 5: be able to offer this to where they can go
8:02
Speaker 5: in and just have that done, not have the anxiety
8:05
Speaker 5: part of it overriding everything else that needs to be done.
8:09
Speaker 7: I mean, I have the patient.
8:11
Speaker 8: Here's the Metro News ACU weather forecast.
8:13
Speaker 6: Today.
8:13
Speaker 8: Expect mostly cloudy skies with a chance of a passing shower.
8:17
Speaker 8: The temperature will reach mostly conditions.
8:22
Speaker 3: Tomorrow.
8:22
Speaker 8: Anticipate a mix of clouds and making a dry day
8:25
Speaker 8: holiday travel with a high temperature of fifty. The voice
8:28
Speaker 8: of Charleston five eighty w c HS much appreciated.
8:33
Speaker 3: Thank you for that.
8:33
Speaker 7: So like getting cut off of the Awards show, maybe
8:36
Speaker 7: too long?
8:36
Speaker 3: Also this that's enough. The the uh the I could
8:42
Speaker 3: get into the details, but one of the one of
8:44
Speaker 3: the mountains we climb with modernity is everything is database now.
8:49
Speaker 3: There's no such thing as wires anymore. So if your
8:52
Speaker 3: data gets crossed, which we I think, I know what's
8:54
Speaker 3: happened there, but it's not like something I can go
8:56
Speaker 3: and flip a switch and fix anymore. I got to
8:58
Speaker 3: go get into an IP address and change an IP
9:00
Speaker 3: address in order to get this fixed. It's kind of
9:02
Speaker 3: a pain, but I'll get it taken care of. That
9:04
Speaker 3: should be the last time we called her weather this hour.
9:06
Speaker 9: So.
9:08
Speaker 3: I really need to know about Yeah, right, Well, at
9:11
Speaker 3: least we got the weather forecast and we know that
9:12
Speaker 3: the magic calls are working for the weather, so you know,
9:14
Speaker 3: at least at least there's there's there's versions of technology
9:17
Speaker 3: that is that's working this morning. And you mentioned about
9:20
Speaker 3: the dendline desiety and I had an issue issue with
9:23
Speaker 3: my daughter that was very similar to that. It was
9:25
Speaker 3: just for her check up. We took her into to
9:26
Speaker 3: see someone. And my daughter is uh is sensitive to
9:32
Speaker 3: uh like noises and stuff a little bit anyway, not crippling,
9:35
Speaker 3: but she she has some some sensitivity to to uh,
9:38
Speaker 3: environmental things like that. And she's very kind of a nervous,
9:41
Speaker 3: anxious girl. She just she she thinks if you can
9:44
Speaker 3: put what if in front of it, that it makes
9:46
Speaker 3: it something that could happen. Like if you could just
9:48
Speaker 3: say what if and you asked the question, that opens
9:50
Speaker 3: the possibility that it could happen, it could be you know,
9:52
Speaker 3: what if dinosaurs climbed spaceships? You know, you know, she
9:55
Speaker 3: thinks it suddenly that's a possibility if you could put
9:57
Speaker 3: what if in front of it. So she had all
9:58
Speaker 3: the wad ifs. The first time we went to just
10:00
Speaker 3: for a checkup, you know, not any not for any
10:02
Speaker 3: cleaning or anything at all, just just for poking around
10:04
Speaker 3: in the mouth a little bit and seeing what's going on.
10:06
Speaker 3: She flipped out, just absolutely flipped out. The dentists at
10:11
Speaker 3: the time asked me to restrain her so they could
10:13
Speaker 3: like do some stuff. And my daughter did not like
10:16
Speaker 3: that at all, and to this day, and I didn't
10:17
Speaker 3: really feel that great about it at the time. To
10:19
Speaker 3: this day, she brings that up when she's like, hey,
10:21
Speaker 3: let's go to the dinn She's like, you can't hold
10:23
Speaker 3: me to downlike that again, Like she did not like
10:25
Speaker 3: to be illed down at all. So then that's like
10:28
Speaker 3: in her mind now, like that was like three years
10:30
Speaker 3: ago almost, And luckily she's her dental hygiene has gotten better.
10:33
Speaker 3: She's doing pretty good with stuff like that. But it's
10:34
Speaker 3: something that's a barrier right now for her for us
10:36
Speaker 3: to get her regularly to go to a dentist, because
10:38
Speaker 3: that's in her head right now, is that And it
10:40
Speaker 3: was nobody's real. We just chose the wrong path for her,
10:43
Speaker 3: you know, and then it really encoded in her head.
10:45
Speaker 3: So you got to do that stuff right.
10:46
Speaker 5: And that's that's one of the things with children especially,
10:49
Speaker 5: we like to try to get them in really young,
10:51
Speaker 5: even if we can't do anything. Sometimes the first time
10:54
Speaker 5: is just getting them in the office, because if the
10:56
Speaker 5: first time they come in it's because they have a
10:58
Speaker 5: toothache or an infection or something like that, that's a
11:01
Speaker 5: tough first appointment if they've never been in and done anything.
11:04
Speaker 5: So for us, if we can get him in one
11:07
Speaker 5: year old, two years old, they may just come in
11:09
Speaker 5: and chair, sit on mom's laugh, and we may just
11:11
Speaker 5: play around for a minute and try to look at
11:13
Speaker 5: the mouth we can, but that may not even happen.
11:16
Speaker 5: But the fact that they're there and you know, that's
11:18
Speaker 5: what their first experience is associated with helps.
11:21
Speaker 2: I know.
11:21
Speaker 6: Yeah, So yesterday I actually had a really fun experience
11:25
Speaker 6: for a six year old. Okay, she was actually a
11:27
Speaker 6: great patient, but she needed coaxing a lot of it.
11:30
Speaker 6: And her dad was probably one of the best parent
11:34
Speaker 6: experiences I've had in a long time, where he was
11:37
Speaker 6: very supportive, very supportive of us and making sure that
11:41
Speaker 6: the daughter was being told now, listen to the doctor,
11:43
Speaker 6: listen to the assistant, like you do what they say.
11:46
Speaker 6: I'm not charge here they are. But also at the
11:49
Speaker 6: same time I worked with the dad and say, hey,
11:51
Speaker 6: is okay if I do this. It was just very
11:54
Speaker 6: well oriented where I was making sure that he was
11:57
Speaker 6: okay with how I was doing things. He was definitely
11:59
Speaker 6: okay with that, with how I was doing things. But
12:02
Speaker 6: we were just communicative the entire time, and she actually
12:06
Speaker 6: sat in his lap the entire pointment. I did two
12:08
Speaker 6: fillings and it went really really well, and at the
12:11
Speaker 6: very end she started kind of starting to worry a
12:14
Speaker 6: little bit and she goes, Daddy, I need some hugs,
12:16
Speaker 6: and he goes, well, I can't stand up and hug you,
12:18
Speaker 6: but can I hug you like from behind? So he
12:21
Speaker 6: just grabbed her from behind and just started hugging her,
12:24
Speaker 6: and it just kind of so by him hugging her
12:28
Speaker 6: in his lap, we got like the last five minutes
12:31
Speaker 6: done so quickly, and there was just this really neat
12:33
Speaker 6: experience as a dad of two dollars myself, right, and
12:36
Speaker 6: you have three daughters, man, so it's just really sweet
12:39
Speaker 6: to see that that we could provide a positive experience,
12:42
Speaker 6: even though it could have it could have been completely different,
12:44
Speaker 6: because you never know what you're.
12:45
Speaker 7: Gonna get with kids.
12:46
Speaker 6: I have four year olds that act like adults, and
12:49
Speaker 6: I have sixteen year olds to act like two year olds,
12:51
Speaker 6: So you just never know what you're gonna get sometimes,
12:54
Speaker 6: and then six year olds that also need some help
12:56
Speaker 6: as well. So it's just such a range and the
13:01
Speaker 6: pleasure that doctor Scarbury and I get from giving a
13:04
Speaker 6: good experience because like we hear from all sorts of
13:10
Speaker 6: patients that are middle aged and older, they say, well,
13:13
Speaker 6: back when I was a kid, they had to put
13:15
Speaker 6: their knee on my chest and they ripped out of teeth,
13:17
Speaker 6: and you're like, I'm so sorry that happened to you.
13:19
Speaker 3: That will not be happening here, I promise.
13:21
Speaker 6: And so dentistry has definitely changed, and I think I'm
13:25
Speaker 6: proud to be a part of it. That we definitely
13:28
Speaker 6: aren't hopefully not providing those experiences, but definitely we're trying
13:33
Speaker 6: to change the paradigm or provide a paradigm shift for
13:37
Speaker 6: what dentistry is to these young people.
13:40
Speaker 3: And just from my experience, and that was one of
13:43
Speaker 3: the things that I wanted to highlight just with you
13:45
Speaker 3: talking about traumatic experiences with younger and stuff. I have
13:48
Speaker 3: a lot of I have some empathy, I think for
13:50
Speaker 3: dentists in some ways in that I think that a
13:54
Speaker 3: lot of the there might be people that had some
13:57
Speaker 3: traumatic experience when they were younger. But I think also
13:58
Speaker 3: people have transferred experiences from loved ones, from parents or
14:03
Speaker 3: grandparents or something like that. And so you'll hear like
14:05
Speaker 3: your uncle talking about like, oh, you don't want to
14:07
Speaker 3: get a root canal because the back when I got
14:08
Speaker 3: a root canal was all this stuff. That was what
14:10
Speaker 3: was in my brain. I've told this story a zillion times,
14:12
Speaker 3: but that's what was in my brain my whole life.
14:14
Speaker 3: I never needed a root canal until I was in
14:15
Speaker 3: my How old am I now, I don't know.
14:17
Speaker 2: I was.
14:17
Speaker 3: I guess in my late thirties or something like that.
14:19
Speaker 3: It was like fifteen years ago, and and I needed
14:23
Speaker 3: my first root canal and I was in so much
14:25
Speaker 3: pain atlant I didn't go get the root canal because
14:27
Speaker 3: I was like, it's just going to be worse to
14:28
Speaker 3: go get the root canal. I don't want to do that.
14:30
Speaker 3: It's like I've heard my whole life. It's the worst
14:32
Speaker 3: thing you could possibly have done to your mouth. I
14:34
Speaker 3: mean I didn't know. I mean, it's not like I
14:35
Speaker 3: sat down and talked to anybody about a root canal.
14:37
Speaker 3: Just that well that's what you al's heard. But of
14:39
Speaker 3: every joke, every sitcom that you'll watch, you know, everything else,
14:42
Speaker 3: it's like you don't want to go to the dentist
14:43
Speaker 3: and get a root canal. I went to see Mitri
14:45
Speaker 3: because I was in like an emergency situation, went in
14:48
Speaker 3: to see Mitri. He had to do it in two
14:49
Speaker 3: stages because he got the pain off first and then
14:51
Speaker 3: he did the he and then he did like the
14:54
Speaker 3: rest of it like two days later or whatever. It
14:56
Speaker 3: was so easy, and I mean there wasn't pain, and
15:00
Speaker 3: I mean I was in a lot of pain, but
15:02
Speaker 3: it was there wasn't anything to it. And the amount
15:04
Speaker 3: of relief that I got in relatively minutes and then
15:07
Speaker 3: later on, in fact, the work the Mitry did is
15:10
Speaker 3: still holding strong now. Doctor Stephen did some a little
15:12
Speaker 3: later that that kind of cracked down on men. It
15:17
Speaker 3: wasn't his Yeah, that'stries has lasted for fifteen years, but
15:23
Speaker 3: but seriously, it was the relief was instant. It really was,
15:26
Speaker 3: and I've been kind of sort of radicalized not only
15:29
Speaker 3: by this show, but the people I talked to when
15:31
Speaker 3: they start talking about dental issues, they're like, well, I
15:33
Speaker 3: don't want to go down to like it's not as
15:35
Speaker 3: bad as you think it, Seriously, isn't You got to go?
15:37
Speaker 3: I mean, they have so many options for you now,
15:39
Speaker 3: and technology has come so long, when it so far
15:41
Speaker 3: when it comes to doing these things, you really got
15:43
Speaker 3: to go check because it's not like what your grandpa
15:45
Speaker 3: or your great uncle or whatever told you when you
15:47
Speaker 3: were growing up. It's a different experience now.
15:49
Speaker 7: That's true.
15:49
Speaker 5: It's kind of like what doctor Henley was just talking
15:51
Speaker 5: about with the child. But we also see that same
15:53
Speaker 5: deal with adults. The people that come in, they're scared.
15:55
Speaker 5: But when you can take a patient like that that
15:57
Speaker 5: comes in that is terrified or scared or has all
16:00
Speaker 5: these thoughts and provide an experience like that, and then
16:03
Speaker 5: next time you have something to come up, you come back, Oh,
16:05
Speaker 5: it's not that big of a deal. You know, you
16:08
Speaker 5: had that in your mind, and once you cross that hurdle,
16:11
Speaker 5: it makes it a lot easier for future appointments and
16:13
Speaker 5: everything else to get past that.
16:15
Speaker 7: But that's a big deal.
16:16
Speaker 5: I mean, when you've had something that your whole life
16:18
Speaker 5: is in your mind, it's hard to get past it.
16:20
Speaker 7: But once once you do.
16:21
Speaker 5: That's one of the things that we're proud to be
16:24
Speaker 5: able to provide, just through to the fact that dentistry
16:26
Speaker 5: has come so far. Things are a lot easier now
16:27
Speaker 5: and thankfully the patient experience is much much better.
16:30
Speaker 3: Last question, real quick, and we'll take a break. In
16:32
Speaker 3: the notes that you sent me last night, it was
16:34
Speaker 3: mentioned that over thirty this is pivoting just a little
16:37
Speaker 3: bit back to back to the orthodonist, but that thirty
16:41
Speaker 3: percent of adult that thirty percent of orthodonist patients now
16:44
Speaker 3: are adults, and that seems like a high number. Is
16:47
Speaker 3: that Has that been a shift in that?
16:49
Speaker 6: Is that?
16:49
Speaker 3: Did it used to be mostly children but now we're
16:51
Speaker 3: seeing adults.
16:52
Speaker 8: Do it?
16:52
Speaker 3: Is that because we're foregoing dental care at earlier age
16:56
Speaker 3: or is there better things that we're doing now so
16:58
Speaker 3: adults can take more more advantages out of it. What's
17:01
Speaker 3: the reason for those numbers?
17:02
Speaker 5: I think a lot of it now is is more
17:04
Speaker 5: with with the clearer liners, the als have more use
17:09
Speaker 5: for it, and the certainly there are cases where braces
17:13
Speaker 5: are definitely the best route. More complex cases, that's still
17:17
Speaker 5: the way to go, but there are many many cases
17:18
Speaker 5: now we can treat with the clear liners. Adults don't
17:21
Speaker 5: have to go with the braces if that's something they
17:23
Speaker 5: don't want to do. And it's an interesting thing that
17:28
Speaker 5: I think really changed with with COVID in people seeing
17:33
Speaker 5: themselves more on screens in no interesting years because everything
17:37
Speaker 5: was was zoom meetings or zoom call. So you're sitting
17:40
Speaker 5: there looking at yourself, don't know how many paces we
17:42
Speaker 5: had come in and be like, I never noticed my
17:44
Speaker 5: teeth really when I'm talking and speaking, and a lot
17:48
Speaker 5: of us the shift that we see in our the
17:51
Speaker 5: change in our tooth position is usually with the lower
17:53
Speaker 5: front teeth first, and the older we get, the less
17:57
Speaker 5: upper teeth we show, the more lower teeth we show,
17:59
Speaker 5: and when we're speaking a lot of times we see
18:00
Speaker 5: more of the lower teeth. So these people are on
18:02
Speaker 5: the computer talking seeing themselves. Can we do something about this?
18:07
Speaker 5: Is there a way to fix these lower teeth to
18:10
Speaker 5: make them look better? And so now thankfully with treatments
18:13
Speaker 5: like invisca line, it's something simple we can do. Don't
18:16
Speaker 5: even have to do impressions anymore. We have digital scanners
18:18
Speaker 5: that go in so you don't have to have that
18:20
Speaker 5: goop in your mouth.
18:20
Speaker 3: All of that.
18:21
Speaker 5: Do a digital scan, send it in, plan the case out,
18:25
Speaker 5: and then it's just a matter of changing trays every
18:27
Speaker 5: couple of weeks and until you get the teeth where
18:29
Speaker 5: they need to be and when you eat, you take
18:31
Speaker 5: them out. After you're finished eating, brush your teeth, put
18:34
Speaker 5: them back in it. It's just much easier and much simpler.
18:37
Speaker 5: So I think so many more adults are are interested
18:41
Speaker 5: in doing it just because it's it's not quite what
18:42
Speaker 5: it used to be.
18:43
Speaker 3: And that's one of those great one of those great
18:46
Speaker 3: use cases that really could be you know, some level
18:49
Speaker 3: of quality of life thing. If you're on zooms all
18:50
Speaker 3: the time suddenly and you're a little self conscious about
18:52
Speaker 3: something along those lines and be on to get blemishes
18:54
Speaker 3: or alignment's taken care of over something along those lines.
18:57

22:45
Speaker 3: eight hundred great care. One of the things that we
22:47
Speaker 3: haven't talked on this show a long years and years ago,
22:49
Speaker 3: actually one of the first expert shows that I did
22:53
Speaker 3: on any regular basis in twenty twelve, twenty thirty to
22:57
Speaker 3: something like that, I don't know as a long time
22:58
Speaker 3: ago now, was was a sleep apnea specialists that we
23:02
Speaker 3: talked to quite a bit, and so I learned a
23:03
Speaker 3: little bit about it back then. But since I'm not
23:06
Speaker 3: an expert, you know, I forget so I know how
23:08
Speaker 3: to spell it still and that's about it. But my
23:11
Speaker 3: understanding is that that sleep appne is something that am
23:15
Speaker 3: I right about? Is there something that's more common than
23:18
Speaker 3: normal in our area that we we have a relatively
23:20
Speaker 3: hot amount of sleep apnea here?
23:22
Speaker 7: It's true, it is is in our area.
23:26
Speaker 5: One of the area things that can kind of lead
23:29
Speaker 5: to increased risk for sleep apnea, smoking, obesity, unfortunately, things
23:39
Speaker 5: that are state.
23:42
Speaker 2: Rights.
23:42
Speaker 5: Being very honest with us, that that's the situation that
23:45
Speaker 5: we're in and that's why we see a lot of
23:46
Speaker 5: it here. But it's an interesting thing to me as
23:50
Speaker 5: well that it's that happens in with those risk factors
23:54
Speaker 5: are there. But then we see some people that are
23:56
Speaker 5: very young, fit, healthy have problems sleeping and there can
23:59
Speaker 5: be an atomical issues.
24:01
Speaker 7: Whether skeletal or just with.
24:05
Speaker 5: Their soft tissues, their tongue, their soft palette, different things
24:07
Speaker 5: like that, the way that they're put together that is
24:10
Speaker 5: causing their sleep apnea, and they may be a perfectly
24:12
Speaker 5: fit person and that may, you know, not be the
24:16
Speaker 5: reason for it. So it's one of those things that
24:19
Speaker 5: the further you get into it, the more you realize
24:22
Speaker 5: how prevalent it is. It's something I always kind of
24:24
Speaker 5: had an interest in, so as dentists were required to
24:28
Speaker 5: take continuing education courses to keep our license accurate and
24:32
Speaker 5: everything else. Plus it's just something we like to stay
24:34
Speaker 5: up to date on. So I found a sleep apnea
24:35
Speaker 5: of course that I went to and I was like, Wow,
24:37
Speaker 5: I had no idea that sleep issues could cause all
24:41
Speaker 5: of these other health problems. So it was just shocking
24:44
Speaker 5: an eye opening to me, and I felt like, wow,
24:47
Speaker 5: I have been seeing this my whole career, and I
24:50
Speaker 5: had no idea the correlation between some of the different
24:53
Speaker 5: things that I was seeing in people's mouths, whether it's
24:55
Speaker 5: tooth grinding a lot of times can be from sleep apnea,
25:00
Speaker 5: different areas of where do the acid reflux from sleep apnea,
25:05
Speaker 5: So these things that I just had no idea for.
25:07
Speaker 5: It's like, Wow, Okay, I need to know more about
25:09
Speaker 5: this because I need to be able to educate my
25:11
Speaker 5: patients and if I can figure out a way to
25:14
Speaker 5: help them with this, and not only from just a
25:16
Speaker 5: health standpoint, just helping them feel better.
25:18
Speaker 7: I mean, we have so many people that come in
25:20
Speaker 7: with this.
25:21
Speaker 5: I'm sitting to them doing their consultation in the chair
25:23
Speaker 5: and they're hardly able to stay awake while I'm doing
25:24
Speaker 5: the consultation.
25:25
Speaker 7: They're like, I'm just so tired. Anytime I sit down
25:27
Speaker 7: and sit still, I could just fall asleep. So it's
25:31
Speaker 7: it's been something that it's been.
25:34
Speaker 5: I think the longer we're in dentistry, I'm coming up
25:37
Speaker 5: on twenty years, which is unbelievable.
25:39
Speaker 7: I mean, it's been like a blur.
25:41
Speaker 5: You kind of start finding those that little niche that
25:43
Speaker 5: you kind of like to treat, the procedures you like
25:45
Speaker 5: to do, the different specialties, and each of our offices
25:48
Speaker 5: kind of has that, and for me, sleep atnea was
25:51
Speaker 5: the thing that I was like, I think this is
25:53
Speaker 5: something I would really like to try to do and
25:55
Speaker 5: try to explore further and be able to offer those
25:57
Speaker 5: treat my options within our group because there's not a
26:01
Speaker 5: lot of people are offering it around here, and there's
26:04
Speaker 5: a huge need for it. So if we can provide
26:06
Speaker 5: that for some patients, to help them get treatment and
26:08
Speaker 5: help them feel better.
26:09
Speaker 7: I think that's a great thing.
26:10
Speaker 6: So in order for you to be able to provide this,
26:13
Speaker 6: what type of technology did you have to invest in?
26:16
Speaker 6: Because I know some of the things that you had
26:18
Speaker 6: to purchase, some of the things that you had to
26:20
Speaker 6: all the courses that you had to go to.
26:23
Speaker 3: Every time you talk to me.
26:24
Speaker 6: About it, seems like there's something new that you're kind
26:27
Speaker 6: of investing you to provide the best care for your patients.
26:30
Speaker 5: Yes, and that's earlier we were talking about the three
26:34
Speaker 5: D scanners or the three D scanners that are digital
26:37
Speaker 5: scanners that we use in lieu of impressions. So we're
26:41
Speaker 5: able to use those to get more accurate fitting appliances.
26:44
Speaker 7: Because what the type of treatment we're able to.
26:46
Speaker 5: Provide from a dental standpoint is that we have patients
26:49
Speaker 5: that go they get a sleep test done, the doctor says,
26:53
Speaker 5: you have obstructive sleep at in me. They make a diagnosis.
26:56
Speaker 5: Once that diagnosis is made, there are different treatment options
26:59
Speaker 5: to patients go through. So one of those options is seapath.
27:02
Speaker 5: Everyone's heard of the seapath appliance that they basically is
27:06
Speaker 5: the mask that forces air in to open the airway
27:09
Speaker 5: to get the oxygen in for patients, and that's kind
27:14
Speaker 5: of the gold standard. That's why you always hear seapaths
27:16
Speaker 5: for that. However, some patients can't tolerate that. They don't
27:19
Speaker 5: like the fit of the mask, the feel of the
27:21
Speaker 5: mask they've especially if they're claustrophobic. If someone's claustrophobic and
27:24
Speaker 5: doesn't like stuff, you're going to trap something to their
27:27
Speaker 5: face and they're going.
27:28
Speaker 7: To try to relax and go to sleep.
27:29
Speaker 5: That's what a lot of patients come in and say,
27:31
Speaker 5: I'm supposed to try to relax and go to sleep,
27:33
Speaker 5: but I'm just putting this one makes me more anxious
27:35
Speaker 5: than just trying to go to sleep anyway. So what
27:38
Speaker 5: we're able to offer from a dental standpoints and appliance
27:41
Speaker 5: that goes in the purpose of what we're doing is to.
27:45
Speaker 7: Try to increase the airway.
27:46
Speaker 5: So the way that we're able to do that is
27:47
Speaker 5: by making an appliance that goes over the upper teeth
27:50
Speaker 5: and over the lower teeth and it's connected. But what
27:52
Speaker 5: that appliance does is it gently advances the jaw forward.
27:55
Speaker 5: A lot of times with obstructive sleep apnea, the tongue
27:58
Speaker 5: and the jaw falling back at night is what's blocking
28:01
Speaker 5: the airway. So with this being able to pull up forward,
28:03
Speaker 5: that's able to create open the airway up.
28:06
Speaker 8: Here's the Metro News ACU weather forecast. Today, expect mostly
28:09
Speaker 8: cloudy skies with a chance of a passing stone. Temperature
28:13
Speaker 8: will reach a high of fifty five. Tonight will bring
28:15
Speaker 8: mostly cloudy conditions. Tomorrow, anticipate a mix of clouds and sunshine,
28:19
Speaker 8: making it a dry day for a holiday travel with
28:22
Speaker 8: a high temperature of fifty The voice of Charleston five
28:24
Speaker 8: eighty w c HS.
28:27
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, weather forecast over. So there's your weather forecast
28:31
Speaker 3: that brought to you by Metro News.
28:32
Speaker 5: And I noticed that only is happening when I'm tall.
28:36
Speaker 5: I'm starting to see a coincidence here with this doctor Handley,
28:39
Speaker 5: Are you pushing a button to make this happen?
28:41
Speaker 6: But he was.
28:42
Speaker 3: He left the headphones off, so he doesn't even know
28:44
Speaker 3: what it happens exactly. I'm just relief that is seven
28:48
Speaker 3: and is left in the program. That's definitely the last one.
28:50
Speaker 3: If you can pick up where you were, I Apolo joshed, Yeah, we.
28:53
Speaker 5: Were discussing the appliances to advance the jaw forward. One
28:58
Speaker 5: of the other pieces of technology that doctor Henley was
29:00
Speaker 5: referring to as three D cone beam X ray machine.
29:06
Speaker 5: Essentially that gives us a three D view of the patient.
29:09
Speaker 5: And what we're able to do with this now with
29:10
Speaker 5: some of the new software out is we're actually able
29:12
Speaker 5: to take that and trace the airway on a patient.
29:14
Speaker 5: So we're able to look just from a pure anatomical
29:17
Speaker 5: standpoint and look and see, wow, this person has a
29:21
Speaker 5: very collapsed airway just standing here.
29:23
Speaker 7: Where how are they going to breathe with this? And
29:26
Speaker 7: so we're able to take.
29:27
Speaker 5: That as kind of an initial screening tool to maybe
29:29
Speaker 5: be able to correlate.
29:30
Speaker 7: Oh, and they come in, they're talking about being.
29:34
Speaker 5: Tired during the day, they're talking about blood pressure issues,
29:36
Speaker 5: they're talking about just mood swings, just not feeling well
29:40
Speaker 5: about themselves. So we can kind of use that as a.
29:42
Speaker 7: Way to get started.
29:44
Speaker 5: And then if we feel like we're on a path
29:47
Speaker 5: where sleep avenue, it could be an issue getting them
29:49
Speaker 5: set up with a sleep doctor, getting them in for
29:51
Speaker 5: the proper testing and diagnosis, and then once that diagnosis
29:54
Speaker 5: is made, we're able to if the applliance it's selected
29:58
Speaker 5: as it's something like the oral applients, then get it
30:01
Speaker 5: set up and get that taken care of, and then
30:03
Speaker 5: it's something that we do the fitting for that kind
30:06
Speaker 5: of get them started off with that appliance and then
30:08
Speaker 5: we follow up with them because really our goal of
30:10
Speaker 5: that is is with those appliance as they're adjustable, so
30:13
Speaker 5: you can bring the patient in, you kind of get
30:14
Speaker 5: them in a starting spot because kind of the sweet
30:16
Speaker 5: spot that we want to find is we want to
30:18
Speaker 5: advance their jaw forward to give them increase their way
30:22
Speaker 5: to allow for better sleep, but we also want it
30:24
Speaker 5: to be in a comfortable position. You don't want to
30:25
Speaker 5: take someone to just moves their jawway forward and then
30:28
Speaker 5: we create TMJ issues and other issues like that. And
30:31
Speaker 5: so that's something that we have to monitor to make
30:33
Speaker 5: sure we're keeping a close eye on the bite and
30:36
Speaker 5: that we're putting the patient in the best position for
30:39
Speaker 5: them to be healthy and not create additional issues with
30:42
Speaker 5: the treatment.
30:43
Speaker 3: And it seems like it would be it's like it
30:47
Speaker 3: seems like can be hard to self diagnose. I mean,
30:49
Speaker 3: you could tell you could tell your doctors like I'm
30:51
Speaker 3: sleeping all the time. I don't know if I'm sleeping
30:53
Speaker 3: all that. Well, is this something if you have a
30:54
Speaker 3: significant other or a partner that they can help you
30:56
Speaker 3: in that regard, like, hey, when you're sleeping at night,
30:58
Speaker 3: I'm noticing these patterns or something along those ones exactly.
31:01
Speaker 5: And that's a lot of times patients don't have any
31:03
Speaker 5: idea that they have this going on until there's significant
31:06
Speaker 5: other does that. And many times they're the one that
31:08
Speaker 5: makes the appointment. The wife callses us, Hey, my husband,
31:11
Speaker 5: and here, I can't sleep. I need some help here,
31:14
Speaker 5: Let's see.
31:14
Speaker 7: What we can do.
31:15
Speaker 3: I can't sleep because he's I can't sleep because.
31:18
Speaker 5: Of snoring and the noise at nighttime or can be
31:20
Speaker 5: snoring or I mean sometimes in more severe cases, it
31:24
Speaker 5: is literally gasping and waking up fighting for your life.
31:28
Speaker 5: I mean, we wonder why the patients wake up tired.
31:31
Speaker 5: Sleep is supposed to be something that's RESTful. If you're
31:33
Speaker 5: struggling to breathe all night long, there's nothing.
31:37
Speaker 7: RESTful about them.
31:38
Speaker 3: More trauma.
31:39
Speaker 7: Yes, and you're really fighting for your life.
31:41
Speaker 5: I mean that's you're you're trying to sleep, but the
31:43
Speaker 5: reason that you're waking up is because your oxygen levels
31:45
Speaker 5: are dropping, so much that your body is saying, do something.
31:49
Speaker 5: I can't breathe. My oxygen is down, So that's why
31:52
Speaker 5: you wake up gasping, struggling to breathe. But yes, a
31:57
Speaker 5: lot of times it is. It is not something that
32:00
Speaker 5: many you know, people come.
32:01
Speaker 7: In all the time. I don't snore. Yeah, I don't
32:03
Speaker 7: know what they're talking about.
32:05
Speaker 3: Healthy, Like is it I mean, is really bad snoring?
32:10
Speaker 3: Is that almost always indicating something else? Or is there
32:12
Speaker 3: such a thing as like that's just normal level snoring?
32:14
Speaker 5: Ye, so there's there is primary snoring, which just means
32:18
Speaker 5: that it's just snoring that really is just caused from
32:24
Speaker 5: basically your airway should just yes, in just the vibrations
32:28
Speaker 5: of airs going in. It's going in through an open space,
32:31
Speaker 5: it's going to a more narrow space, and there's vibrations
32:34
Speaker 5: in the tissues and that's what it's causing the snoring.
32:36
Speaker 5: So on a small level that may be okay. But
32:41
Speaker 5: to know the difference if are you just snoring or
32:43
Speaker 5: are you really getting your breathing and oxygen restricted sleep,
32:47
Speaker 5: study has to be done so that we're seeing when
32:50
Speaker 5: this has happening. Is this because your oxygen intake is
32:54
Speaker 5: decreasing to a level that is not healthy and it's
32:57
Speaker 5: not safe. Or is it just that you know your
32:59
Speaker 5: air way is causing this, but it's really not changing
33:03
Speaker 5: your oxygen. But the only way to really know that
33:05
Speaker 5: would be to do a sleep test and see if
33:07
Speaker 5: your oxygen saturation levels are changing.
33:09
Speaker 3: It's incredibly the people that I've known that have had
33:11
Speaker 3: sleep studies done and they end up getting on, you know,
33:14
Speaker 3: a seapap machine or something like that, it's like it
33:18
Speaker 3: doesn't even become I think some people are worried, like
33:20
Speaker 3: I don't know if I want to be on a machine.
33:22
Speaker 3: It's a burden or whatever it is to a person.
33:24
Speaker 3: And I know quite a few people that that's that's
33:26
Speaker 3: been diagnosed in that have seapack machines or some other
33:29
Speaker 3: toward the treatment. It's worth it to every single one
33:31
Speaker 3: of them. It's like my life changed after I started
33:34
Speaker 3: doing this. In fact, my father in law, Will Will
33:37
Speaker 3: he'll go camping and make sure that he has the
33:39
Speaker 3: ability to power his seapack when he goes to camping
33:41
Speaker 3: because or he likes to be outdoors and he likes
33:43
Speaker 3: to you know, be kind of rough in it. That's
33:45
Speaker 3: the one thing that he can't go without because that
33:47
Speaker 3: gives him so much of a better quality of life.
33:49
Speaker 3: So I mean it's just really important that people realize
33:51
Speaker 3: that that, you know, if you're having trouble sleeping, or
33:53
Speaker 3: if you're a significant other is making gasping noises and
33:56
Speaker 3: choking noises and things like that at night, you should
33:58
Speaker 3: check it out. I mean, it's something worth the getting
34:00
Speaker 3: out to. We haven't got about a minute left, So
34:01
