1:07
Speaker 3: it's absolutely true. And anybody that listens to our radio stations,
1:10
Speaker 3: we've been talking about the new studios for months now,
1:12
Speaker 3: or for weeks anyway, years, talking about getting into it, weeks,
1:16
Speaker 3: talking about well, once we get into it, And now
1:18
Speaker 3: for a couple of weeks we've we've been there and

1:31
Speaker 3: It's good stuff, and this is so nice. And then

Speaker 3: fifty eight fifty eight. More about the greed Dental Group
2:18
Speaker 3: one line GREEB Dentalgroup dot com. That's g h A
2:21
Speaker 3: R E B GREEB Dentalgroup dot com. We'll get more
2:23
Speaker 3: information out to you as things go along there today.
2:26
Speaker 4: Yeah.
2:27
Speaker 3: The nice thing about this, and if you go back
2:29
Speaker 3: and listen to any of the shows, or at least
2:31
Speaker 3: compare them to previous ones, is we've lost every single
2:37
Speaker 3: every bit of audio artifact is out of the studio anyway.
2:41
Speaker 5: Now.
2:41
Speaker 3: Of course, AM radio, if you're listening to AM, will
2:43
Speaker 3: have some some interference, and our FM signals are pretty pristine,
2:47
Speaker 3: and that's what I usually listen to around town. And
2:49
Speaker 3: when you're listening to one of our talk shows. Now
2:50
Speaker 3: on that signal, it sounds like the people are in
2:52
Speaker 3: the car with you. There's just no audio drop at all.
2:55
Speaker 3: And I can explain the whole thing. Basically, we cut
2:57
Speaker 3: out dozens of sources of real audio and now we
3:01
Speaker 3: have one pristine source for all of our audio and
3:02
Speaker 3: we just basically go and get it from the pool
3:04
Speaker 3: with whatever's one air.
3:06
Speaker 4: And it's just so nice.
3:07
Speaker 5: I have no idea what you're talking about, but it
3:09
Speaker 5: sounds awesome.
3:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just uh for somebody that in listening to
3:13
Speaker 3: my own stations for years, you would hear a little
3:14
Speaker 3: bit of audio drop a little bit of our studios weren't.
3:18
Speaker 3: They were leaky as far as the audio insallation goes,
3:21
Speaker 3: so you'd hear like little echoing or you know, things
3:23
Speaker 3: like that you're not supposed to hear necessarily in a
3:25
Speaker 3: professional environment. There's none of that anymore. These studios are
3:27
Speaker 3: so tight. There's no there's no loss of audio at all.
3:30
Speaker 2: No.
3:30
Speaker 3: I mean, you could scream as loud as you wanted
3:32
Speaker 3: to in here and there would be not even a
3:34
Speaker 3: little bit of an echo.
3:35
Speaker 4: It's nice.
3:37
Speaker 5: Well, maybe we should try that, yeah, you know, or
3:40
Speaker 5: they were not next to her might get upset, but
3:44
Speaker 5: we have to tell them. My kid gets overly exuberant sometimes.
3:47
Speaker 5: And when she gets overly exuberant, she'll just scream at
3:49
Speaker 5: the top of it. And it's not that when she's
3:51
Speaker 5: even necessarily mad.
3:52
Speaker 3: She'll just be super happy or she's making a point
3:54
Speaker 3: or something like that, but she'll do it at the
3:56
Speaker 3: top of her voice. And if you happen to be
3:58
Speaker 3: walking by outside with the windows open or some female,
4:00
Speaker 3: what in the heck is happening in that house? So
4:03
Speaker 3: we have to tell my kids sometimes and honey, you gotta,
4:05
Speaker 3: you gotta, you gotta relax. And plus she's a night
4:07
Speaker 3: outl so it'll be like ten thirty at night or something.
4:09
Speaker 3: You're like, kid, you gotta cut that out. That's too loud.
4:12
Speaker 3: So you know, we need some more sound paneling in
4:14
Speaker 3: our house. It might help out.
4:15
Speaker 5: Something that would help out for sure.
4:16
Speaker 4: May not be bad.
4:17
Speaker 3: But we're talking about dental hygiene this morning. You can
4:19
Speaker 3: get in on the conversation. Three zero four three four
4:21
Speaker 3: five fifty eight fifty eight three four five fifty fifty
4:23
Speaker 3: So I was your holiday weekend always always a good
4:26
Speaker 3: time to kick off the summer, not the not the
4:29
Speaker 3: warmest temperatures, but it was pretty nice over the weekend.
4:31
Speaker 5: For the most part, I had a wonderful time. I
4:33
Speaker 5: went swim. While I didn't swim, I went to tool
4:36
Speaker 5: two different pool parties for my kids, so that was exciting.
4:41
Speaker 5: Other than that, just enjoyed a good Sunday service at
4:45
Speaker 5: church and all the get yesterday's activities for Memorial Service.
4:50
Speaker 5: What did you do this weekend? Dale? How was your weekend?
4:52
Speaker 3: It was pretty good. A lot of work around the
4:55
Speaker 3: house on Saturday and Sunday. Oh my kid, my kids homeschool.
5:01
Speaker 3: She took her She took her first grade equivalency test
5:04
Speaker 3: last week and we got our evaluation back. She passed that,
5:07
Speaker 3: so we took her out for some celebration of her
5:09
Speaker 3: like graduating first gradetrade and stuff like that. Oh yes,
5:12
Speaker 3: there was definitely some cookie Monster ice cream from Basket
5:14
Speaker 3: Robbins was involved in mandatory and just some driving around
5:17
Speaker 3: and doing some things like that. And then yesterday, uh,
5:20
Speaker 3: kind of a spur of the moment. We weren't going
5:21
Speaker 3: to do.
5:21
Speaker 5: Much, but.
5:23
Speaker 3: The local Pigley Wiggly down where I live in kannall
5:26
Speaker 3: Cidi was having a great deal on their butchery all
5:29
Speaker 3: their their butcher stuff, and so I went and got
5:32
Speaker 3: a bunch of New York Strip steaks and hadn't broke
5:34
Speaker 3: out the grill yet this year, so I cleaned out
5:36
Speaker 3: the grill, replaced some of the hardware that I needed
5:38
Speaker 3: real mint.
5:38
Speaker 5: Well, you know, we're neighbors, yeah, close to it, and
5:41
Speaker 5: I didn't know he price melt it. You could let
5:44
Speaker 5: me know it. Actually, that's all I'm gonna say. But
5:48
Speaker 5: also I also forgot it was some my kids' birthdays
5:51
Speaker 5: are in June, and because they're in June and summer,
5:54
Speaker 5: we always have a party on in May. Oh nice.
5:57
Speaker 5: We rented out too big and latable things from a
6:01
Speaker 5: local party rental company in our backyard, and we had
6:05
Speaker 5: like a billion kids out there playing. So that was exciting.
6:08
Speaker 3: I think that has to be And then your kid
6:10
Speaker 3: gets very popular over that too, because as you get
6:12
Speaker 3: to go to the kids out with the bouncy stuff,
6:14
Speaker 3: that's really good.
6:15
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, these kids walking up into like there's bounce houses.
6:19
Speaker 4: Great.
6:20
Speaker 5: So instead of renting out a place, we rented out
6:22
Speaker 5: we kind of brought the fun to our house and
6:24
Speaker 5: saved us some money. And also we had, you know,
6:26
Speaker 5: we could buy our own food and do all.
6:28
Speaker 3: Sorts of a great idea. Our place isn't big enough.
6:31
Speaker 3: My daughter one of the things that she really wants
6:33
Speaker 3: to do this year, she wants to put on a
6:34
Speaker 3: talent show for her birthday. And I think it would
6:37
Speaker 3: be just absolutely hilarious. Like I think it would be
6:39
Speaker 3: the most funny thing ever, and we really want to
6:41
Speaker 3: do it. We might go up the coon skin run
6:42
Speaker 3: out in the Amphitheater and do it up there or
6:44
Speaker 3: something like that. I mean, it would be kind of
6:45
Speaker 3: a big party then, but it might be fun.
6:47
Speaker 4: I don't know.
6:47
Speaker 3: We haven't decided yet. But anyway, her teeth is doing well.
6:50
Speaker 3: If we want to transition.
6:51
Speaker 5: Over to where are we going to transition?
6:54
Speaker 4: That's right, we've talked about it before.
6:56
Speaker 3: But as far as youth teeth goes, she did have
6:59
Speaker 3: a I don't know it's necessarily unique, but she has
7:01
Speaker 3: the double rows of teeth. She had like the shark
7:03
Speaker 3: teeth going on there, and she's lost her first teeth,
7:07
Speaker 3: and she's got three of them, and she lost her
7:08
Speaker 3: first tooth. She's got three of them that if she
7:11
Speaker 3: would let me, I could just reach in there and
7:13
Speaker 3: grab them and pluck him out. But she won't let
7:14
Speaker 3: me do that. She has to. She has to work
7:16
Speaker 3: on them on her own. The first one she worked
7:18
Speaker 3: out just to prove me wrong, and I used a
7:20
Speaker 3: little bugs Bunny psychology on her. I was like, honey,
7:23
Speaker 3: that thing's never going to come out. You'll never be
7:25
Speaker 3: able to get that tooth out. She's like, I can too.
7:26
Speaker 3: I was like, you can't do it, honey, You're not
7:28
Speaker 3: gonna be ilty. She's like, I can too. I'm like, honey,
7:30
Speaker 3: Ruth is in the pudding. It's been ready to come
7:32
Speaker 3: out for days and it's still not out. She's elmer
7:34
Speaker 3: fudding the story. Yeah, exactly, which is very odd because
7:36
Speaker 3: usually she's the one elmer fudding me. But in this case,
7:39
Speaker 3: she went and head under a blanket and worked on
7:40
Speaker 3: her tooth until she got it out and came and
7:42
Speaker 3: presented it to him.
7:43
Speaker 4: I got it, and I told you I proved you wrong.
7:45
Speaker 5: I won. Yes, you did good job. Yes, did a
7:48
Speaker 5: great job. And that also reminds me yesterday at one
7:52
Speaker 5: of these pool parties, right, a young kid came up
7:55
Speaker 5: to me, knowing that I'm a dentist, and said, I
7:57
Speaker 5: think I chipped my tooth, and so I'm never off
8:00
Speaker 5: the clock, right, I'm always being asked questions. I'm always
8:03
Speaker 5: at events and they go, I think her daddy is
8:07
Speaker 5: a dentist, go ask him. And so I'm always being
8:09
Speaker 5: asked things, and uh, it's just one of those It
8:12
Speaker 5: just comes with the territory. I have to always be on,
8:14
Speaker 5: always have to be ready. I always have to pull
8:16
Speaker 5: out these facts from the back of my head that
8:19
Speaker 5: are from dental school, or from things I've read, or
8:21
Speaker 5: from from current literature. I don't know. It's always fun
8:25
Speaker 5: to pull that out and just kind of kind of
8:29
Speaker 5: divulge my nerdom of knowledge when it comes to dentistry
8:32
Speaker 5: on on these kids and people.
8:34
Speaker 4: But honestly, that makes it very relatable.
8:36
Speaker 3: I mean, whenever you carry around information like that and
8:38
Speaker 3: you're able to translate it into kid friendly tidbits and
8:41
Speaker 3: nuggets and things like that, I mean, that's a great
8:43
Speaker 3: that's a that's just great outreach.
8:45
Speaker 5: That's great.
8:45
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think so it's where that least.
8:49
Speaker 5: It's a great it's a great outreach.
8:51
Speaker 3: Yes, you're a great man. You do a great job.
8:55
Speaker 3: We wanted to talk about. There are several things that
8:56
Speaker 3: we can talk about this morning. You sent me some information,
8:59
Speaker 3: but one of the things that that does get a
9:01
Speaker 3: little confusing because it does differ from from office to
9:04
Speaker 3: office depending on the dentist that you're going to. When
9:06
Speaker 3: people get a little confused about the difference between like
9:09
Speaker 3: types of sedation, if it's considered surgery, well I'm not
9:12
Speaker 3: going to get I'm not gonna go completely under because
9:14
Speaker 3: then I have to go to a to a to
9:16
Speaker 3: a surgeon and then YadA, YadA, YadA.
9:18
Speaker 4: It's not as maybe it used to.
9:19
Speaker 3: Be a little bit more delentiated like that, but it's
9:22
Speaker 3: not necessarily the case anymore.
9:24
Speaker 5: It is very confusing when so sedation itself is a range,
9:29
Speaker 5: and the license that you have as a dentist, as
9:32
Speaker 5: a practicing dentist in West Virginia, is for you to
9:35
Speaker 5: provide the a certain level of sedation. You're not licensed
9:40
Speaker 5: to provide a certain drug necessarily. It's the whatever drug
9:43
Speaker 5: will get you to that level of sedation. So I
9:46
Speaker 5: have a moderate sedation license, so I can get people
9:49
Speaker 5: moderately sedated pretty much twilight. Legally, we don't say, or
9:53
Speaker 5: you know, we can't ethically say we put you to sleep,
9:56
Speaker 5: but when patients say, well i'd be asleep, I mean
9:58
Speaker 5: a lot of times patients are kind of snoring, but
10:02
Speaker 5: they're still awake and alert, right, and so it's this
10:04
Speaker 5: weird kind of you have to say, yes, you will
10:08
Speaker 5: be put out, but you won't be put under. So
10:12
Speaker 5: we have to be very careful with that language. But
10:14
Speaker 5: modern sedation is practically the deepest sedation you can get
10:18
Speaker 5: when it comes to general dentistry. And what we find
10:22
Speaker 5: is that that's not being offered here in this area,
10:24
Speaker 5: and there's only a handful of dentists in the state
10:27
Speaker 5: that do offer that, and so doctor Stephen offers that
10:30
Speaker 5: I offer it. We do two different types of delivery
10:32
Speaker 5: systems based on our specific license, but we definitely do
10:37
Speaker 5: offer the same level. We're both moder we can both
10:39
Speaker 5: provide modern sedation. Now, if you don't need modern sedation,
10:43
Speaker 5: if you just if you're a little nervous getting a cleaning,
10:45
Speaker 5: if you're a little nervous trying to say I need
10:49
Speaker 5: a filling, but I don't really want to be put under,
10:52
Speaker 5: you know, I don't really think I need to go
10:53
Speaker 5: through that whole process. We have light sedation options such
10:58
Speaker 5: as nitris laughing gas. It's not just for the kids,
11:01
Speaker 5: it's for the adults. Some adults every single time they
11:04
Speaker 5: go I need that nitrous, I need that laughing gas.
11:07
Speaker 5: I'm like, yes, sir, here we go.
11:08
Speaker 4: Let's look it up.
11:10
Speaker 5: And it's a very safe way to sedate patients. And
11:14
Speaker 5: what's really cool is if there's ever I always tell patients,
11:17
Speaker 5: if there's ever an emergency when it comes to nitrous,
11:19
Speaker 5: we just take off the mask and they start breathing normally.
11:22
Speaker 5: And so it's one of those really cool it's a
11:24
Speaker 5: really cool way to say, like, if anything happens, we
11:27
Speaker 5: just turn this off and you're breathing normally, and while
11:30
Speaker 5: you're breathing nitrous, you're breathing more oxygen than we are,
11:33
Speaker 5: and so you're gonna be you are breathing more oxygen
11:36
Speaker 5: than we are. You just have a little bit of
11:37
Speaker 5: stuff that makes you feel good. And then above that,
11:40
Speaker 5: we can deliver a medication such as a benzodaes a pinie,
11:44
Speaker 5: which is pased a little anti anxiety pill. We can
11:48
Speaker 5: do that without nitrous or with nitrous, and that allows
11:51
Speaker 5: patients to really feel even more relaxed. And then above
11:54
Speaker 5: that is that modern sedation. That is what doctor Stephen
11:57
Speaker 5: and I can provide. But almost every office with Groovedental
12:01
Speaker 5: Group does have nitrous. I think we all do have nitrous.
12:05
Speaker 5: We all can provide that little pill if you need to.
12:08
Speaker 5: But above that, you need to come to doctor Stephen
12:11
Speaker 5: or my office in Kano City to provide that. We
12:14
Speaker 5: actually just had a call. I had a call from
12:16
Speaker 5: a local dentist who knew that I was offering modern
12:20
Speaker 5: sedation and I spoke to the mom of the patient.
12:26
Speaker 5: So the front office desk called me and said, you
12:29
Speaker 5: offer IV sedation, Craig, I said, yes, Maam, I do.
12:32
Speaker 5: I was talking to to the front office and she said,
12:34
Speaker 5: can you talk to this mother. I'm like, okay, sure,
12:36
Speaker 5: And so I started talking to the mom and I'm like, yeah,
12:38
Speaker 5: this is how we do it. And she goes, oh,
12:40
Speaker 5: thank goodness, my son's very anxious. Can we come see
12:43
Speaker 5: you next week? And so I'm going to see you
12:45
Speaker 5: this week for consultation, see how things go. So, I
12:48
Speaker 5: mean it's kind of neat that we can provide that
12:49
Speaker 5: for other dental offices that you know, they want to
12:53
Speaker 5: provide the best service. But sometimes if the patient's too
12:56
Speaker 5: anxious and it can become dangerous. If they're too and
13:00
Speaker 5: to fidgety, they need to have that sedation, so just
13:03
Speaker 5: so that they can be provided the service that they need.
13:06
Speaker 5: So that's kind of neat that word it's getting out.
13:09
Speaker 3: I've really thought before I started doing a show with
13:13
Speaker 3: young doctor Stephen that sedation options when you went to
13:17
Speaker 3: a dentist was basically a if this then that type thing,
13:21
Speaker 3: like if you're getting this procedure, you get this level
13:23
Speaker 3: of sedation. They right, you know that that's it. You
13:25
Speaker 3: know that you that as a patient, you didn't really
13:26
Speaker 3: have an options like, yeah, you know, I'd like to
13:27
Speaker 3: be a little bit more under for this one, or
13:29
Speaker 3: a little less under or whatever it might be.
13:31
Speaker 5: All the time a patient will say, so you're going
13:33
Speaker 5: to take out the tooth, Yes, am I gonna be
13:35
Speaker 5: awake for that. Yes you will be numb, you will
13:40
Speaker 5: not feel what I'm doing. But if you need to
13:43
Speaker 5: be sedated, we can discuss that. But a lot of
13:44
Speaker 5: times they go, oh, never mind, I'm good. I just
13:46
Speaker 5: thought I had to be put under. I didn't know
13:48
Speaker 5: that I could just be awake and alert. I'm like,
13:51
Speaker 5: yes you can, you just won't feel anything. But of
13:54
Speaker 5: course we offer the ability to put you under and
13:57
Speaker 5: then if you need more complex surgeries such as implant placements.
14:02
Speaker 5: We do that as well when it comes to sedation
14:05
Speaker 5: options with that. But even if you just need a
14:10
Speaker 5: cleaning and you just you're so anxious you don't want
14:13
Speaker 5: to come see a dentist and you need something to
14:16
Speaker 5: calm you down, we have options for you.
14:18
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's great to know and to be an advocate
14:21
Speaker 3: for yourself in any of these things if that's something
14:23
Speaker 3: that you're a little nervous about when it comes to
14:25
Speaker 3: any kind of dental procedure.
14:27
Speaker 5: Procedure. I just threw something in the trash can, and
14:30
Speaker 5: that was way. That was a lot lower I though
14:32
Speaker 5: I was going to.
14:32
Speaker 3: We finally got rid of all of the the echoe arms,
14:35
Speaker 3: you know, so that we don't hear that sound anywhere
14:37
Speaker 3: when you touch the mic stems. But yeah, thrown it
14:39
Speaker 3: into the metal trash can. It might make a little
14:41
Speaker 3: bit of noise. That's pretty good, it happens, that's okay.
14:46
Speaker 3: If you would like more trash can noises, you can
14:47
Speaker 3: give us a call this morning three zero four three
14:49
Speaker 3: four five fifty eight fifty eight three zero four, three
14:51
Speaker 3: four five fifty eight fifty eight. You can text over
14:53
Speaker 3: questions that you have as well. If you'd like to
14:54
Speaker 3: do that. Threes are four non three, five, five zeros
14:56
Speaker 3: or eight. It's a text line. Threes are a four
14:58
Speaker 3: non three five, five zeros or eight. And it's just
15:00
Speaker 3: important for folks to know that there is different options
15:02
Speaker 3: along those lines because people have different pain thresholds and
15:06
Speaker 3: they know their bodies more than anything you know, so
15:09
Speaker 3: they should be able to give the proper recommendation in
15:11
Speaker 3: things along those lines when it comes to sedation or
15:14
Speaker 3: what level sedation or whatever it might be.
15:16
Speaker 5: For that. You know your body better than I will.
15:19
Speaker 5: You know your mouth better than I will. So my
15:21
Speaker 5: job is to investigate and give you the best recommendations.
15:24
Speaker 5: But you know how you're going to react to things.
15:26
Speaker 5: You know how you're going to handle certain situations, and
15:31
Speaker 5: so we will walk through that. We'll give the options.
15:33
Speaker 5: I've actually had to talk patients into sedation and out
15:36
Speaker 5: of sedation both ways. Certain times that I've had a
15:40
Speaker 5: patient say I don't really think I need it, and
15:42
Speaker 5: I go, can we try nitrist please? You know I
15:45
Speaker 5: think you need it. Right. I'm not saying it's up
15:48
Speaker 5: to you one hundred percent, but I think that's what
15:50
Speaker 5: we need to do. Or the opposite can happen where
15:52
Speaker 5: the patient goes I have to have got to be
15:54
Speaker 5: put to sleep, and I go this will I can
15:56
Speaker 5: almost take out this tooth with my fingers enough to
16:00
Speaker 5: trick it out, like literally, give me five seconds, I'll
16:02
Speaker 5: take it out. And so it goes both ways. I
16:05
Speaker 5: kind of can highly recommend things, but at the same
16:08
Speaker 5: time giving that informed consent, so patients have every single
16:11
Speaker 5: recommendation possible and they know what is best for them,
16:15
Speaker 5: and then they end up choosing from there.
16:17
Speaker 3: Not to get too far into the weeds of this
16:19
Speaker 3: because I know that it gets somewhat complicated. You know, yeah,
16:23
Speaker 3: but this has to do with insurance, and that's never
16:24
Speaker 3: really all that fun when it comes to sedation and insurance.
16:27
Speaker 3: Is that one of the ones? Can you is that
16:29
Speaker 3: only under the dental insurance can that be blended into
16:32
Speaker 3: your medical or how does that? Because I know sometimes
16:34
Speaker 3: that's kind of complicated too.
16:35
Speaker 5: That is a question I cannot fully answer. I mean
16:39
Speaker 5: not that I not that I don't want I want
16:41
Speaker 5: to answer.
16:41
Speaker 3: I know, I know it's complicated or not, because I
16:45
Speaker 3: know sometimes you can sort of you lean on medical
16:47
Speaker 3: for certain like I went to a ID doctor a
16:49
Speaker 3: couple of years ago, and I was surprised that when
16:51
Speaker 3: I got my explanation of benefits, like all of my
16:54
Speaker 3: odd benefits were taken up, but then there was like
16:56
Speaker 3: medical benefits on top of that that was tapped into.
16:58
Speaker 3: And I gotta you know, I mean, it was fine,
17:00
Speaker 3: but I was just surprised that it's like, oh, I
17:02
Speaker 3: use both of my insurance here that.
17:03
Speaker 5: Was sometimes it bleeds into medical. Right. I had the
17:05
Speaker 5: same thing. I had spot in my eye and we
17:07
Speaker 5: were looking at it for a year and he said, oh,
17:09
Speaker 5: this visit is covered, is covered under medical. I didn't know.
17:13
Speaker 5: I just kind of went along with it. Sure, great.
17:15
Speaker 5: Same thing with sedation. There are there are ways to
17:20
Speaker 5: build medical and we're investigating that. There's a general dentist
17:24
Speaker 5: that I that is that offers sedation another part of
17:27
Speaker 5: the state, and I've kind of talked with him about
17:30
Speaker 5: it and how he does things. So I'm trying to
17:32
Speaker 5: figure out because I don't have any anyone in this
17:34
Speaker 5: area that kind of does specifically what I do. So
17:38
Speaker 5: it's hard to really understand what we can build and
17:41
Speaker 5: how to build it because when it comes to medical insurance,
17:44
Speaker 5: that's something that we rarely deal with and so that's
17:46
Speaker 5: something that's a whole other can of worms and how
17:48
Speaker 5: to dare you open up that can of wa Yeah,
17:50
Speaker 5: I'm sorry. Definitely. When it comes to dental insurance, we
17:54
Speaker 5: build that easily, and then if we can build medical,
17:57
Speaker 5: we will as well.
17:58
Speaker 3: We're going to take a break here in just a moment.
18:00
Speaker 3: When we come back, we still have plenty of stuff
18:01
Speaker 3: we're going to talk about. You can control the conversation.
18:03

Speaker 3: four nine three five five zeros your eight. Three zero
18:10
Speaker 3: four nine three five five zeros your eight. We also
18:12
Speaker 3: want to do a little bit. We're going to talk
18:14
Speaker 3: a little bit about what to do in an emergency
18:17
Speaker 3: situation during a holiday or during the weekend, or maybe
18:19
Speaker 3: you're you're traveling somewhere and you know, we're starting to
18:23
Speaker 3: get into obviously, well, travel sports is nearly a year
18:26
Speaker 3: long thing now, but school's out and it's getting warmer.

18:33
Speaker 3: things along those lines. You know where are your mouth guard? Yeah,
18:36
Speaker 3: it might take a bite out of out of a
18:38
Speaker 3: barbecue that was supposed to have no bones in it
18:40
Speaker 3: and there was a bone in there.
18:41
Speaker 4: You did something your two thing. You might need some help.

20:55
Speaker 3: You're listening to as the expert of Uchs, the voice
20:58
Speaker 3: of Charles and letting the music play out here. This
21:00
Speaker 3: music has actually been the same, I mean maybe for
21:02
Speaker 3: a decade, kidding, but you've never heard it before, right, No,
21:07
Speaker 3: we never had the studio configuration where we could listen
21:09
Speaker 3: to a live monitor or not. Not never, but in
21:12
Speaker 3: the last when did we move over to that studio,
21:13
Speaker 3: like maybe six or seven years ago? Right, I don't
21:16
Speaker 3: right the whole time you've been here, So you've never
21:17
Speaker 3: seen in the studio. Yeah, I think doctor Stephen maybe
21:19
Speaker 3: was in the old studio before. But anyway, we we
21:22
Speaker 3: can never hear the monitor. We had to go off
21:25
Speaker 3: tomming so I could watch where the commercials were, and
21:27
Speaker 3: I know radio, so I know the tomming. So we
21:29
Speaker 3: always went off toiming before and now we can actually
21:32
Speaker 3: wonder you would like start okay, yeah, it makes sense.
21:35
Speaker 4: It was all in the blond.
21:37
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, you like wouldn't start talking. For a second,
21:40
Speaker 5: I'm like, why are we staring here awkwardly? What's happening?
21:43
Speaker 5: And then it makes sense.
21:44
Speaker 3: Now all in the blond just watching the numbers go by,
21:47
Speaker 3: and I knew when to start talking and.
21:48
Speaker 5: Stuff there, Steven, you're gonna be blown away.
21:50
Speaker 4: And now we can just listen like normal radio.
21:53
Speaker 5: It's nice.
21:53
Speaker 3: You can just hear exactly what's going on on the
21:55
Speaker 3: air and react to it appropriately.
21:57
Speaker 5: It's not a bad thing.
21:59
Speaker 4: It's not bad at all. You kind to be blown away,
22:01
Speaker 4: and now we can just listen like normal radio. That's nice.
22:04
Speaker 3: You just hear exactly what's going on on the air
22:06
Speaker 3: and react to it appropriately.
22:07
Speaker 4: It's not a bad thing. It's not bad at all.
22:10
Speaker 3: You gets called this morning if you want to talk
22:11
Speaker 3: about anything that we've been talking about, probably dental hygiene
22:15
Speaker 3: would be great, but.
22:18
Speaker 4: That we stop on.
22:19
Speaker 3: You can give us a call of about three zero
22:20
Speaker 3: four three four five fifty eight fifty eight three four
22:22
Speaker 3: five fifty eight fifty eight.
22:23
Speaker 5: You can text up for questions as well. Three zero
22:25
Speaker 5: four non three five five.
22:26
Speaker 3: Zero zero eighth And one of the things Doctor Stephen
22:29
Speaker 3: has done this for years on occasion and one of
22:32
Speaker 3: the shows that I always like to do a segment
22:34
Speaker 3: of is just to talk about what happens if you
22:37
Speaker 3: have a dental emergency when you're not you know, when
22:40
Speaker 3: you're not just sitting at work and you're like, oh
22:41
Speaker 3: my toothfoll out. I can just run down to the
22:42
Speaker 3: dentist office, you know. I mean not that you can
22:44
Speaker 3: necessarily do that, but I mean chances are you could
22:46
Speaker 3: probably get close to that. But people are living and
22:49
Speaker 3: moving and doing things. You might be on vacation and
22:51
Speaker 3: you bite into something. All that tooth that's been giving
22:53
Speaker 3: me problem for well, now it's really giving me trouble
22:55
Speaker 3: where it comes out. Or I mentioned before the break,
22:58
Speaker 3: you have a child in youth sport and you're playing
23:00
Speaker 3: travel ball, maybe you're out of town and something happens
23:02
Speaker 3: and that you got a problem with the tooth. What
23:04
Speaker 3: are some of the things that folks can do to
23:06
Speaker 3: kind of sort of manage situations like that if they
23:09
Speaker 3: come up.
23:10
Speaker 5: So, first off, let's manage the pain. If there's pain
23:14
Speaker 5: going on, let's kind of go through what you need
23:17
Speaker 5: to do. The number one thing I don't want people
23:19
Speaker 5: to do is take any topical gel such as ambersol
23:24
Speaker 5: or some type of tooth away pain. The jail that
23:30
Speaker 5: you put in your mouth, don't do that right. That
23:32
Speaker 5: is actually bens a cane and it can cause medical
23:35
Speaker 5: issues if you use it long term. I don't really
23:37
Speaker 5: want to get into that, but so I don't. I
23:39
Speaker 5: don't like patients using that topical jelly. That that topical anesthetic.
23:45
Speaker 5: It's good to actually use it in my office prior
23:49
Speaker 5: to me injecting because it helps numb the gum just
23:51
Speaker 5: a little bit. But it doesn't really numb the tooth
23:53
Speaker 5: a lot. It's just numbs the gum. So don't use that.
23:56
Speaker 5: What you really need to do for pain is take
23:59
Speaker 5: two advil in one tileanol. That's four hundred milligrams of
24:03
Speaker 5: a seat of ibuprofen, which is advil or motrin, same thing,
24:08
Speaker 5: and five hundred milligrams of talentol, which is a ced
24:11
Speaker 5: of menafin. I think now the tablets are only three
24:14
Speaker 5: twenty five just because of there was a risk of
24:17
Speaker 5: liver issues and so they decrease the I'm getting into
24:20
Speaker 5: the weeds, you know, I always do. But just know
24:22
Speaker 5: that to addvil one talent all that will stop the
24:24
Speaker 5: pain and you can kind of go back and forth
24:26
Speaker 5: every four hours or every two to four hours, you know,
24:28
Speaker 5: take the two advil, then take the one talent all
24:30
Speaker 5: and kind of go back and forth. If you need
24:32
Speaker 5: more than that, obviously call your dentists and they can
24:35
Speaker 5: prescribe something. If it's infected, we can give you an antibiotic.
24:39
Speaker 5: But so many times if you're in pain, it's not
24:41
Speaker 5: due to infection, it's due to inflammation, and so that
24:45
Speaker 5: advil and thailanol is going to decrease that inflammation and
24:48
Speaker 5: make you feel better. If you need more, we can
24:51
Speaker 5: also prescribe something called a steroid, like a metrol dose pack.
24:54
Speaker 5: Those things are like tonic water. They just make you
24:57
Speaker 5: feel so good. I've had patients say, my knees, I've
25:00
Speaker 5: not felt this good. Long term that's not good, but
25:03
Speaker 5: short term definitely good to actually kind of ease the
25:06
Speaker 5: pain till you can get into your dentist. So that's
25:09
Speaker 5: when it comes to the pain. Let's say you have
25:11
Speaker 5: an emergency where your crown pops off. What the heck
25:14
Speaker 5: do you do? Well? Number one, don't just throw it away.
25:17
Speaker 5: We might be able to place it on. But if
25:19
Speaker 5: that crown is off and it's bothering you, and you
25:22
Speaker 5: can maybe put it right back on. There's some temporary
25:27
Speaker 5: crown sementation pace you can buy from CBS. Put that
25:31
Speaker 5: follow the directions, put it right onto the crownd then
25:33
Speaker 5: shove it down in there and then clean it up.
25:35
Speaker 5: That generally can stay for a while. Or if you
25:37
Speaker 5: don't have that, you can use denture adhesive that actually
25:40
Speaker 5: works pretty well, but finally get into the dentist and
25:44
Speaker 5: they will do it a permanent chop of submitting it in.
25:47
Speaker 5: So those are the two big emergencies that I can
25:50
Speaker 5: advise on. When it comes to fractured teeth, not much
25:53
Speaker 5: I can do other than it's everybody's different. If it's
25:57
Speaker 5: a chip that's not into the pulp or the nerve,
26:00
Speaker 5: we can fix it without too many complications. But if
26:03
Speaker 5: it's fractured into the root or things like that, chances
26:07
Speaker 5: are you need to go see a dentist and they
26:08
Speaker 5: need to maybe extract the tooth or give you other options.
26:11
Speaker 5: So fortunately we can advise that by calling us and
26:16
Speaker 5: we can talk to you and we walk you through
26:18
Speaker 5: these emergencies. We do have a we have an emergency
26:22
Speaker 5: phone line on the weekends and so it'll come to
26:25
Speaker 5: our cell phones and I've used it before yes, I've
26:28
Speaker 5: used it before. Yeah, so it is very nice. We
26:31
Speaker 5: get patients from the public call and then we kind
26:34
Speaker 5: of always give we do our best to give advice
26:37
Speaker 5: and so or if we can, we'll see patients during
26:41
Speaker 5: the weekend. So that's those two biggest things. What to
26:44
Speaker 5: do if you're in pain and what to do if
26:45
Speaker 5: your crown pops off. Other than that, there's not a
26:48
Speaker 5: whole lot of things we can do.
26:50
Speaker 3: I guess when when we're talking about like sports and
26:53
Speaker 3: athletics and with mouthguards, man, I remember when I played
26:56
Speaker 3: football when I was a kid. I can't I can't.
27:02
Speaker 3: I can't forget the texture and the feeling of the mouthguards.
27:06
Speaker 3: It was just one of those things, you know, I
27:07
Speaker 3: wasn't that great. So a lot of times the only
27:09
Speaker 3: thing you could do was like chewing your mouth guard.
27:11
Speaker 3: You know, you would just like pop it up, it'd
27:13
Speaker 3: be like sideways in your mouth, you'd tall on it
27:14
Speaker 3: in the side. You know, you would just like throw that.
27:16
Speaker 3: Yeah you basically just yeah, you ch all that thing down.
27:19
Speaker 3: But is there such a thing as like superior mouthguards
27:22
Speaker 3: or is a mouth guard and mouth guard? You know,
27:24
Speaker 3: because you see some of these anymore like the standard
27:26
Speaker 3: issue ones they gave us when we when I play
27:28
Speaker 3: footballt capital or whatever, just clear little things. You strapped
27:30
Speaker 3: them to your face mask and I guess they strap
27:33
Speaker 3: was like five feet long exactly. Yeah, a lot of
27:35
Speaker 3: times right exactly. But when you go now you can
27:37
Speaker 3: see these, you see like an individual and it will
27:39
Speaker 3: cost like thirty five or forty bucks or something.
27:41
Speaker 5: You're like, is it really worth it or is it
27:43
Speaker 5: just pretty? That's marketing, it's just pretty, just pretty. Yeah.
27:46
Speaker 5: I would say the ideal way to do it is
27:48
Speaker 5: go to your dentist and have them do a digital
27:50
Speaker 5: steps an impression, and then they will make it the
27:54
Speaker 5: form fit to your mouth. However, go to Walmart buy
27:58
Speaker 5: something cheap, now I would I wouldn't necessarily go with
28:02
Speaker 5: the cheapest just because it is the cheapest. Yeah you
28:05
Speaker 5: too thin yea, yeah, yeah for sure. But generally speaking,
28:08
Speaker 5: mouthguards are there choose to provide that shock of absorption.
28:13
Speaker 5: They aren't very advanced and they don't need to be.
28:17
Speaker 5: All you need to do is just increase the space
28:20
Speaker 5: between your teeth with something that's spongy, and that will
28:22
Speaker 5: solve the problem generally.
28:24
Speaker 3: And it amazes me that and I saw this when
28:26
Speaker 3: I was a kid too. And again I wasn't a
28:28
Speaker 3: great player, but I've played enough to.
28:30
Speaker 5: Join the club.
28:31
Speaker 3: I was a b teamer my entire life. I was
28:35
Speaker 3: not a great player that came to a school. That's
28:37
Speaker 3: when Capital first, This was before you got here, but
28:40
Speaker 3: Charleston High and Stonewall, two powerhouse football programs, combined into
28:44
Speaker 3: Capital in nineteen eighty nine. That was my sophomore year,
28:47
Speaker 3: was and that was when high school started back then,
28:49
Speaker 3: was in sophomore year. So I was the first sophomore
28:52
Speaker 3: class to start at Capital going all the way through.
28:55
Speaker 3: And there were NFL players galore on that first incarnation
29:00
Speaker 3: of that team. Pretty incredible. Uh spread of talent that
29:03
Speaker 3: was on that team, and uh yeah, so I mean
29:06
Speaker 3: I was it was there was a bunch of people.
29:09
Speaker 5: Uh.
29:09
Speaker 3: Coach Roger Jefferson was the coach. There's one of the
29:12
Speaker 3: most winning coaches in high school football. Won the national
29:15
Speaker 3: or the state championship our first year in existence, two
29:17
Speaker 3: out of the first three, loss at the second year.
29:19
Speaker 3: But yeah, I didn't. I saw the field in very
29:21
Speaker 3: limited capacity. I played football, but I never understood I
29:25
Speaker 3: played just enough to know I've had my teeth snapped
29:28
Speaker 3: together enough on a hit to know that you really
29:30
Speaker 3: want to wear those those mouthguards. And I never understood
29:33
Speaker 3: the kids that pushed back when it summers, Like is
29:35
Speaker 3: it an image thing? I mean, because certainly having cracked
29:38
Speaker 3: or no teeth later in life is not going to
29:40
Speaker 3: be great. And the chances you make an NFL money
29:43
Speaker 3: to get your your like your grill put together or
29:45
Speaker 3: something is probably not very good.
29:47
Speaker 5: No, that's probably not going to happen. And speaking of
29:50
Speaker 5: playing college, I didn't play couch. Playing high school football
29:53
Speaker 5: in Texas, same thing. Oh, Like, they were NFL players
29:57
Speaker 5: all over the place. It seemed like I remember watching
30:00
Speaker 5: film this one time and this linebacker. So I don't
30:03
Speaker 5: know if you've heard of south Lake, Carol, they're like
30:05
Speaker 5: a big barrels. They were in my district. I went
30:07
Speaker 5: on Church End sometimes. Yeah, I went to church in
30:09
Speaker 5: South Lake, so like that's kind of where I grew
30:10
Speaker 5: up in that area. And there was this one linebacker
30:13
Speaker 5: I think he went to the NFL, but he tackled
30:15
Speaker 5: a ligneman that was twice his size and just smuf.
30:19
Speaker 5: I don't know, I've never seen someone hit someone so
30:22
Speaker 5: hard in real life and be like I'm glad I'm
30:25
Speaker 5: on the sideline right now like that. It was welcome
30:28
Speaker 5: to the NFL moment, but welcome to high school football
30:30
Speaker 5: in Texas moment right And it wasn't me. I was
30:32
Speaker 5: just watching someone get like destroyed. So I get it.
30:35
Speaker 5: That's not for me. But definitely you need to protect
30:37
Speaker 5: your teeth putting on Simply getting those boiled down mouthguards
30:42
Speaker 5: is all you need. We don't need to do something
30:44
Speaker 5: super expensive. But the best thing for you, period is
30:48
Speaker 5: go to your Dennis, have them do that impression, do
30:51
Speaker 5: a suckdown model themselves with very advanced materials. I mean,
30:55
Speaker 5: you do get what you pay for, but at what
30:57
Speaker 5: point is it worth it?
30:59
Speaker 4: Dimsion turns at some point there for sure. That makes
31:01
Speaker 4: a lot of sense.
31:02
Speaker 3: A couple of minutes left in the program with doctor
31:04
Speaker 3: Carson Henley from the Greed Dental Group. You can get
31:06
Speaker 3: on air with us this morning, just about five minutes left.
31:08
Speaker 3: You give us a call three zero four three four
31:10
Speaker 3: five fifty eight fifty eight. Three zero four three four
31:12
Speaker 3: five fifty eight fifty eight. If you'd like to give
31:13
Speaker 3: us a call, you're more than welcome to do that
31:15
Speaker 3: and get a question into doctor doctor Henley, a couple questions.
31:19
Speaker 3: I thought I would ask you selfishly, since I have
31:22
Speaker 3: since I have a since I have a child, I
31:24
Speaker 3: thought I could ask you some some child related dental
31:27
Speaker 3: hygiene questions. So I've took you and Doctor stephen gave
31:32
Speaker 3: me some advice a couple of years ago to get
31:33
Speaker 3: my daughter over her adversion to brushing her teeth, and
31:37
Speaker 3: then most of those things worked. She's she's pretty good
31:39
Speaker 3: with brushing her teeth. Now she'll I guess all kids
31:42
Speaker 3: will push back sometimes when they really don't want to
31:44
Speaker 3: or whatever, but for the most part, she brushes her teeth.
31:46
Speaker 3: We make it a game. Here's here's the clever game
31:50
Speaker 3: that parents find themselves in. So she wants to quote
31:52
Speaker 3: unquote race me. Right, as a parent, I understand that
31:56
Speaker 3: racing brushing your teeth is not a great idea because
31:59
Speaker 3: you want to go as slow as possible. Right, So
32:02
Speaker 3: what I have to do is I have to brush
32:04
Speaker 3: my teeth for as long as I want her to
32:05
Speaker 3: brush my teeth, and then make it very very obvious
32:09
Speaker 3: when I'm getting ready to wash out my mouth and
32:11
Speaker 3: be done and everything, and make overly deliberate gestures so
32:14
Speaker 3: she can, like swoop in and get done right before
32:18
Speaker 3: me so she can beat me to the quote unquote race.
32:20
Speaker 3: So for like years, I've been throwing this race that
32:23
Speaker 3: I've been trying to make go as long as I
32:25
Speaker 3: possibly can so she'll spend enough time brushing her teeth.
32:27
Speaker 3: She does fine, she just needs the context of like
32:30
Speaker 3: this race that her and Daddy do at night times,
32:33
Speaker 3: specifically around her.
32:34
Speaker 5: You're the turtle and you're trying to trick her into
32:36
Speaker 5: being a turtle exactly.
32:37
Speaker 3: And there's going to be a time, because the kid's clever,
32:40
Speaker 3: there's gonna be a time when she's going to figure
32:42
Speaker 3: it all out. Or maybe she already has and she
32:43
Speaker 3: just plays along for me. Heck, I have no idea anyway.
32:46
Speaker 4: We've gotten her.
32:47
Speaker 3: Along pretty well, I think for the most part. However,
32:51
Speaker 3: as her baby teeth are starting to they'll be going
32:54
Speaker 3: pretty soon. She's lost her first and she's starting to
32:56
Speaker 3: lose more. But I do notice a like a patina
32:59
Speaker 3: or a ring of discoloration on like the bottom parts
33:03
Speaker 3: of her teeth from where she either wasn't great brushing
33:08
Speaker 3: for a while or her technique and stuff is good now,
33:10
Speaker 3: but that gap there may have caused some problems one
33:13
Speaker 3: teeth that are going out. If we have good practices, now,
33:18
Speaker 3: what is my level on what we should do as
33:20
Speaker 3: far as that goes?
33:21
Speaker 4: Am I? Okay?
33:22
Speaker 3: As long as going forward we have good practices, am I?
33:24
Speaker 3: And am I in some sort of peril because some
33:27
Speaker 3: of the teeth that are in there now are discolored.
33:29
Speaker 4: What is my problem there?
33:31
Speaker 5: If they're going to fall out within a year? I
33:33
Speaker 5: tell patients all the time, or parents have patients if
33:35
Speaker 5: if a tooth has a cavity, if the tooth is discolored,
33:37
Speaker 5: if the tooth has stained, whatever, and it's going to
33:40
Speaker 5: fall out within a year, I'm okay leaving it, and
33:43
Speaker 5: you probably can be as well. If a tooth is
33:46
Speaker 5: going to fall out, there's really no point in investing
33:49
Speaker 5: in that tooth. And that's my take. Now, if that
33:52
Speaker 5: tooth is bothering you, instead of fixing it or filling it,
33:56
Speaker 5: maybe extracted early. I think that's a good option as well.
33:59
Speaker 5: But I think you're doing a great job. You're caring
34:01
Speaker 5: for your daughter and she's trying to beat you, although
34:05
Speaker 5: she doesn't realize that she's losing every time. She's winning
34:10
Speaker 5: by losing, you know, it's kind of funn.
34:12
Speaker 3: The worst thing that happened to me one night, or
34:14
Speaker 3: not the worst thing ever, but one night last week,
34:16
Speaker 3: I don't know, I was distracted or whatever. We were
34:18
Speaker 3: brushing my teeth, and I forgot that we were you know,
34:20
Speaker 3: that I was supposed to go through this thing I've
34:22
Speaker 3: been doing for years. Just for whatever reason, this particular
34:24
Speaker 3: slipped my mind, and so I just wrapped up, washed
34:27
Speaker 3: my mouth out, got ready, and she like just looked
34:29
Speaker 3: at me with her toothbrush still in her mouth, looking
34:31
Speaker 3: at me with her eyes really big. And my kid
34:34
Speaker 3: doesn't like will till she gets mad. So she's like, Okay,
34:38
Speaker 3: that's it. We're never racing again.
34:41
Speaker 5: It just it. We're done.
34:43
Speaker 3: Yeah, she was so mad at me. I rectified it.
34:48
Speaker 3: Did she hang out her toothbrush?
34:49
Speaker 5: Is that what she did?
34:50
Speaker 3: Well, what she did is she very emphatically it's a
34:53
Speaker 3: bluey you know, electric toothbrush, And what she very emphatically
34:57
Speaker 3: did is she ran it under the water to rinse
34:59
Speaker 3: it off, look at me the whole time, and then
35:01
Speaker 3: just put it on the sink, staring me dead, like
35:05
Speaker 3: that's it.
35:05
Speaker 4: I'm so disappointed in you.
35:06
Speaker 5: We're done with this.
35:08
Speaker 3: She's so outrageous. Not hanging up your cleats, hanging up
35:11
Speaker 3: your toothpaste. Yeah, she's outrageous with stuff like that.
35:13
Speaker 4: I don't know.
35:14
Speaker 3: But so with kids, there is a little bit of
35:18
Speaker 3: I guess that make it a game. Yeah, there's some kids,
35:20
Speaker 3: I guess it will just take to it and then
35:21
Speaker 3: they'll have perfect little pearls their entire at kiddom. And
35:24
Speaker 3: there's other kids like my daughter who got there eventually,
35:27
Speaker 3: but she was kind of a wild child to get
35:29
Speaker 3: her to the point where she would do her teeth
35:30
Speaker 3: once or twice a day, and she does a pretty
35:32
Speaker 3: decent job with it now. But I did have to
35:33
Speaker 3: gamify it. I had to turn it into something other
35:35
Speaker 3: than just brushing your teeth. It had to be something else.
35:37
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I think that's smart, just trying to come
35:40
Speaker 5: up with any number of games. When it comes to
35:42
Speaker 5: the two minutes we want, we always hand out these
35:45
Speaker 5: sand dial things that are time to two minutes. I
35:48
Speaker 5: remember getting those as a child, and I remember how
35:51
Speaker 5: slow that sand was going through the sand dial thing, right, Like,
35:56
Speaker 5: two minutes is a long time when you're trying to
35:58
Speaker 5: do one thing, especially you're keen. You're just brushing as
36:01
Speaker 5: hard as you can and trying to get going.
36:02
Speaker 3: So she hums, right, of the valkyries, the what the
36:06
Speaker 3: ride of the valkyris, you know, the the the symphonic movement.
36:11
Speaker 3: I'm sure like like sort of like the like the
36:15
Speaker 3: like the whole thing like going, and she she hums
36:18
Speaker 3: like all of that stuff while she That's how she
36:20
Speaker 3: toms out her teeth brushing when she gets to when
36:22
Speaker 3: she gets to the second crescendo, she knows that she's
36:24
Speaker 3: pretty much that's about the end of it.
36:26
Speaker 5: I should teach my kids cheerits of fire, right.
36:29
Speaker 4: Yeah.
36:29
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a little slower, Yeah, yeah, I see that
36:31
Speaker 5: work out. All right.
