Speaker 1: employees or WVRC Media.
0:21
Speaker 2: And very pleas a good morning to you.
0:23
Speaker 3: It is eight twenty three and you are listening to
0:26
Speaker 3: your Voice of Charleston five ADWHS. I'm Del Cooper on
0:29
Speaker 3: this Tuesday morning. Man, it is just gorgeous out there.
0:32
Speaker 3: It's like homeostasis outside. You walk outside and everything is
0:36
Speaker 3: like it feels like nature, Like there's no humidity, the
0:39
Speaker 3: temperature is exactly where it should be it is. It
0:42
Speaker 3: feels really nice out there. I was just amazed when
0:44
Speaker 3: I walked out this morning, you didn't have that little
0:46
Speaker 3: bit of hit of humidity that was gone. It wasn't
0:48
Speaker 3: so chilly where you felt like it was just like homeostasis.
0:51
Speaker 2: It was like good stuff outside.
0:53
Speaker 3: And speaking of good stuff, we'd like to bring into
0:55
Speaker 3: the studio this morning from gree Dental Group joining us
0:58
Speaker 3: as they usually do together. Doctor Stephen Garib is here
1:01
Speaker 3: and doctor Carson Henley. Doctor Stephen, how you doing this morning?
1:03
Speaker 4: Doing great? Thank you very much. I am enjoying the weather.
1:06
Speaker 4: It's uh didn't feel so sticky.
1:09
Speaker 2: This morning. No, it's nice. It's nice.
1:11
Speaker 3: I like I like those those addum mornings where it's
1:13
Speaker 3: still warm enough where you don't need a jacket or anything,
1:15
Speaker 3: you don't have to worry about any of that stuff,
1:16
Speaker 3: but there's still no humidity. It's kind of nice. Doctor
1:20
Speaker 3: Carson's with us as well. How are you doing this morning?
1:22
Speaker 5: Just like miscongeniality, what's your favorite date? It's like April
1:26
Speaker 5: twenty first, right anyway, So when it comes up to
1:31
Speaker 5: homeostasis for the body, it's like, what ninety eight degrees?
1:33
Speaker 5: So when you said homeostasis, I'm like, it's not homeostace,
1:38
Speaker 5: but I know you with the weather, it feels natural
1:41
Speaker 5: to be outside my scientific, nerdy mind somewhere on man.
1:45
Speaker 4: That's that's that's a very Carson comment.
1:52
Speaker 3: We are here this morning taking your well, they're taking
1:55
Speaker 3: your dental questions about your dental hygiene, any questions that
1:58
Speaker 3: you might have for yourself, were a loved one, your child,
2:00
Speaker 3: or for maybe an elderly person in your family that's
2:02
Speaker 3: looking for some help. We're going to be covering a
2:04
Speaker 3: bunch of topics this morning, but you can help scare
2:06
Speaker 3: that conversation as well and give us a call this
2:07
Speaker 3: morning three zero four, three four five fifty fifty eight
2:10
Speaker 3: three four five fifty eight fifty eight. You can also
2:11
Speaker 3: text us this morning three zero four nine three five
2:13
Speaker 3: five zero zero eight. Three zero four nine, three five
2:16
Speaker 3: five zero zero eight is our text line number. I
2:18
Speaker 3: want to talk this morning kind of progressive discussion about
2:23
Speaker 3: dental hygiene and teeth and so forth. This morning, I
2:25
Speaker 3: want to start a little bit about and this is
2:28
Speaker 3: this is really a good topic because we we talk
2:30
Speaker 3: a lot about things that you can do to repair teeth.
2:33
Speaker 3: There's all kinds of different things that you guys bring
2:35
Speaker 3: up on the show. Folks could come in and get
2:38
Speaker 3: evaluated for different types of repair and things like that.
2:40
Speaker 3: But sometimes it's like a like a like a tire
2:44
Speaker 3: that you patched. You know, eventually you just have to
2:46
Speaker 3: replace the tire. And maybe that's not the best analogy
2:48
Speaker 3: in the world, but when it comes to taking care
2:52
Speaker 3: of your teeth, patching the problems that are in your mouth,
2:54
Speaker 3: and different things along those lines, there comes a point
2:56
Speaker 3: where you have to determine if continuing down that path
2:59
Speaker 3: is the best or maybe you have to look for
3:01
Speaker 3: another program you can you can come up with something
3:02
Speaker 3: better that's right.
3:03
Speaker 4: Yeah, So I mean what we see, it's one of
3:05
Speaker 4: the most common things that come into the office is
3:08
Speaker 4: the patient comes in and there's a tooth that has
3:12
Speaker 4: a significant break in it or a significant cavity that's
3:16
Speaker 4: pretty large. Maybe it's had some fillings done before. And
3:19
Speaker 4: the question is, you know, doc, can we patch this
3:22
Speaker 4: up and fix it and get us through for a
3:24
Speaker 4: little bit longer or fix it completely that way, or
3:29
Speaker 4: do we have to say, you know, we've done enough
3:30
Speaker 4: of that and we really have to go to the
3:32
Speaker 4: next step. And then we talk about what are the
3:34
Speaker 4: next steps. And you can take this however far you'd
3:37
Speaker 4: like to go. With one single tooth, a corner of
3:40
Speaker 4: the mouth. We call it a quadrant, you know, we
3:42
Speaker 4: break things up into four sections, or you can talk
3:44
Speaker 4: about entirely all of your teeth are starting to do this.
3:47
Speaker 4: What do we do in general for a total plan?
3:50
Speaker 2: But the.
3:53
Speaker 4: Bottom line is that I do use the car analogy
3:56
Speaker 4: a lot of times. You know, tires are getting bald,
3:59
Speaker 4: or you have a hole and a tire, we can
4:01
Speaker 4: patch it, and those patches last for a period of time,
4:04
Speaker 4: but it's not a permanent solution. So we can typically
4:08
Speaker 4: patch up a tooth, but we have to know that
4:10
Speaker 4: this may not be the best thing for the tooth
4:12
Speaker 4: or for you in the long term. So after that,
4:15
Speaker 4: once we've kind of filled it to its maximum amount,
4:20
Speaker 4: what can happen is the tooth then is in danger
4:24
Speaker 4: of fracturing or breaking or becoming weak and needing a
4:27
Speaker 4: root canal down down the line if we leave it
4:31
Speaker 4: in that condition. So the next step typically would be
4:35
Speaker 4: kind of upgrade it in a sense to the next
4:38
Speaker 4: more complex treatment would be a crown on that tooth.
4:41
Speaker 4: So if you filled it all that you can then
4:44
Speaker 4: a crown. What that is some people call them caps,
4:46
Speaker 4: and they it covers the entire tooth three hundred and
4:49
Speaker 4: sixty degrees with a strong porcelain material. Sometimes metal material
4:54
Speaker 4: like a gold we can use as well, but it
4:56
Speaker 4: holds the tooth together and protects it from future breaking. Now,
5:00
Speaker 4: if the decay is too deep and goes into the
5:03
Speaker 4: center of the tooth, sometimes that requires us to do
5:05
Speaker 4: a root canal as well. So then you have the question, Okay,
5:08
Speaker 4: is this tooth decayed or damage so far that even
5:11
Speaker 4: a root canal and a crown are not advisable. And
5:15
Speaker 4: sometimes you get to the point to where you say,
5:17
Speaker 4: you know, we could do a root canal and a
5:19
Speaker 4: crown on this tooth, but it might not last that long.
5:23
Speaker 4: So then we're in the discussion of, well, should we
5:25
Speaker 4: consider a dental implant at that point, or extraction and
5:29
Speaker 4: maybe a dental bridge or partial. So that kind of
5:32
Speaker 4: opens up to an entirely different set of options in
5:37
Speaker 4: a sense for patients.
5:40
Speaker 2: And that.
5:42
Speaker 3: And that ongoing relationship is really why it's beneficial to
5:45
Speaker 3: see your Dennis on a regular basis to get problems
5:47
Speaker 3: address as they come up, because if you're having that conversation,
5:49
Speaker 3: of course, if somebody comes out off that you've never
5:51
Speaker 3: seen before, you can get to that point of helping
5:54
Speaker 3: somebody out. But it really helps things quite a bit
5:56
Speaker 3: if you're a patient of someone if you see somebody
5:58
Speaker 3: all the time, because it really helps you get to
6:01
Speaker 3: know that person and you can advise them probably a
6:03
Speaker 3: lot more closely.
6:04
Speaker 5: Doctor Steven No comment. That was such such a complete answer,
6:10
Speaker 5: creat job, I might clapping inside my brain.
6:12
Speaker 4: Wow, I've impressed doctor Henley.
6:16
Speaker 2: You always impressed me.
6:17
Speaker 5: But that was like, there's like nothing else to add
6:19
Speaker 5: I mean, it was really good.
6:20
Speaker 4: Well, you know, to your point though, about having someone
6:23
Speaker 4: have that relationship with their dentist, because that's what kind
6:26
Speaker 4: of hurts me the most for the patient is when
6:29
Speaker 4: they come in and they're focusing on this one tooth.
6:33
Speaker 4: This one tooth is breaking down. It's hurting me, you know. Okay,
6:35
Speaker 4: we can do all of these things. We go through
6:36
Speaker 4: that process, what should we do? But then they have
6:40
Speaker 4: five other teeth that are in very similar shape. But
6:43
Speaker 4: the way that the body is, they're not hurting them
6:45
Speaker 4: at this point right now, it's just that one tooth
6:47
Speaker 4: that's bothering them. So then we have to start talking about, Okay,
6:50
Speaker 4: really we need to get you into a comprehensive plan
6:53
Speaker 4: to keep this from happening in two months for the
6:55
Speaker 4: next tooth, and then two months for the next tooth,
6:57
Speaker 4: and then the next tooth.
6:57
Speaker 6: You know.
6:58
Speaker 4: So so really that drives home the point that you're making.
7:01
Speaker 4: You know, let's keep things regular, stay regular with your
7:04
Speaker 4: dental checkups, and in the long run, that will avoid
7:09
Speaker 4: a lot of more comprehensive and expensive treatment.
7:12
Speaker 3: And that goes for people that only go to the
7:14
Speaker 3: dentist when there's a when there's a presenting problem. If
7:17
Speaker 3: you're constantly chasing these things instead of addressing the issue
7:20
Speaker 3: at the root cause to keep it from happening in
7:21
Speaker 3: the future, you just want to constantly going in with pain,
7:24
Speaker 3: Hey doc, hey, doc, hey doc. At a point, there's
7:26
Speaker 3: something you can do about that. There there's actual maintenance
7:28
Speaker 3: you can do that keep that from happening for sure. Yeah,
7:31
Speaker 3: let's talk about if you get to that point where
7:34
Speaker 3: you've tried these different things, you have some problems with
7:36
Speaker 3: your with your teeth, dental hygiene, different things along those
7:39
Speaker 3: lines where whether it be genetic or something else that's happened.
7:43
Speaker 3: We've talked about the on the show, we've done with
7:45
Speaker 3: dedicated shows to it before. But you do have implants
7:47
Speaker 3: and teeth in a day, and that's something that of
7:50
Speaker 3: course we need to set the expectations for that, as
7:52
Speaker 3: we always do with that discussion.
7:54
Speaker 4: Reject about this coming in. I mean, it's it's amazing,
7:57
Speaker 4: but yeah, so that's one of the most common questions
7:59
Speaker 4: like I have coming into the office is what I'll
8:02
Speaker 4: hear about this teeth in a day? You know, can
8:03
Speaker 4: we do that? And how's that work? And really it's
8:06
Speaker 4: funny because a lot of patients come in and they say,
8:08
Speaker 4: surely that can't happen. I mean, that's crazy. You can't
8:11
Speaker 4: get teeth in a day. And I'll find that funny
8:14
Speaker 4: because really I expect patients to come in demanding that
8:17
Speaker 4: I expect to get teeth in a day. But the
8:19
Speaker 4: more common thing is I hear about this in no
8:21
Speaker 4: way that works.
8:22
Speaker 2: Well.
8:22
Speaker 4: The answer is it can work in certain situations depending
8:26
Speaker 4: on what you choose. So the idea of teeth in
8:30
Speaker 4: a day, you can explain that a few different ways.
8:33
Speaker 4: Let's go classically. We've had teeth in a day for
8:37
Speaker 4: a long time in dentistry, and we would call those
8:40
Speaker 4: immediate dentures. So what happens there is you come in,
8:43
Speaker 4: you have a set of bad teeth. You can have
8:46
Speaker 4: those teeth taken out in that same day, a denture
8:49
Speaker 4: put in into your mouth that day. Now, anyone that
8:52
Speaker 4: wears dentures knows that that is not a perfect solution
8:58
Speaker 4: because when you have a set of teeth that need removed,
9:01
Speaker 4: when we send it to the lab to make those
9:03
Speaker 4: immediate dentures we call them, they have to remove the
9:06
Speaker 4: teeth kind of virtually or on the model outside of
9:10
Speaker 4: the mouth and guess how the gums are going to respond,
9:14
Speaker 4: and guess how much bone is needing to be removed
9:16
Speaker 4: to take those teeth out, So that denture is never
9:19
Speaker 4: going to be a perfect fit. Even if it were
9:22
Speaker 4: a perfect fit, your gums will swell and recede and shrink,
9:26
Speaker 4: and the bone will compress and change over a period
9:29
Speaker 4: of six to eight weeks after having the teeth taken out,
9:32
Speaker 4: then that denture would have to be re lined. Now
9:35
Speaker 4: that's important to know talking about anything else forward. Once
9:38
Speaker 4: you remove teeth, things change. So if we're going to
9:42
Speaker 4: go from that type of a teeth in a day
9:44
Speaker 4: to the more modern style that people talk about is
9:48
Speaker 4: taking out your teeth, putting dental implants in place, and
9:51
Speaker 4: then putting teeth on those implants that day that we
9:55
Speaker 4: do all the time in the office can and we
9:58
Speaker 4: can do it in the right situation. But the important
10:02
Speaker 4: thing is that whatever we put into your mouth that day,
10:05
Speaker 4: taking out our teeth, putting the dental implants, in attaching
10:08
Speaker 4: teeth to those implants, then the bone and the gums
10:11
Speaker 4: are going to change. And whatever we put in does
10:14
Speaker 4: give you teeth that day, but it is a temporary
10:16
Speaker 4: bridge of some sort that will be replaced in twelve weeks.
10:20
Speaker 4: Once everything heals well and the implants are integrated, confirmed
10:24
Speaker 4: to be very solid. So some patients are candidates for that,
10:28
Speaker 4: others are not, and that's for a discussion about if
10:31
Speaker 4: you're a candidate for implants and what not to. But
10:35
Speaker 4: then some patients do get a little confused, as doctor
10:39
Speaker 4: Henley and I were talking about before, if you were
10:42
Speaker 4: to choose a different implant option, such as snap indentures
10:48
Speaker 4: to implants. This is something we explain to patients upfront,
10:54
Speaker 4: very very completely. We explain to them, but then sometimes
10:59
Speaker 4: even after we do the procedure, they say, well, I
11:01
Speaker 4: thought these teeth were going to stay on these implants today.
11:04
Speaker 4: The issue is that when you take out teeth, put
11:06
Speaker 4: in implants and then expect to snap a denture to them,
11:10
Speaker 4: the implants that you put in that day are not
11:13
Speaker 4: healed well enough to withstand that snapping on and off
11:16
Speaker 4: pressure because you could yank those implants. That makes sense.
11:19
Speaker 4: Whereas with the bridge that we talked about earlier, it's
11:21
Speaker 4: all splintered together. It's kind of it's a bit of
11:24
Speaker 4: engineering within dentistry that we use for that. It all
11:27
Speaker 4: links it together in arch form and that can typically
11:30
Speaker 4: withstand the chewing pressures during that healing period of time.
11:33
Speaker 4: But if you choose to do the option of a
11:36
Speaker 4: snap in denture, we have to basically put you into
11:38
Speaker 4: that immediate denture that we talked about before while the
11:41
Speaker 4: implants heal for twelve weeks. After twelve weeks we confirm
11:45
Speaker 4: the implants have healed well enough to withstand those pressures
11:48
Speaker 4: of snapping on and off, then we modified the denture.
11:51
Speaker 4: We snap the implants to that denture. The denture to
11:54
Speaker 4: the implants, I should say at that time.
11:56
Speaker 3: And when you listen to the explanation here, it's obvious
12:01
Speaker 3: that this is a complicated measure that you have to
12:04
Speaker 3: put into place because of the knock on effect or
12:07
Speaker 3: the domino effect. But once you remove something from your mouth,
12:09
Speaker 3: this happens, This happens, this happens, and you have to
12:12
Speaker 3: you have to make sure that as it's healing and
12:14
Speaker 3: as it's getting into place, that it's going to heal
12:15
Speaker 3: correctly so it can take the load of all of
12:17
Speaker 3: these different things. And I can understand, you know, what
12:20
Speaker 3: happens with a lot of people is they read or
12:22
Speaker 3: hear something that they hope they understand, and they get
12:26
Speaker 3: that in their mind and then regardless of what somebody
12:28
Speaker 3: tells them. They're they're casting it in their mind to
12:31
Speaker 3: fit within that box they've already kind of made, and
12:33
Speaker 3: so it seems like that they're having everything confirmed to them,
12:35
Speaker 3: which if they're actually listening, they would find out that
12:38
Speaker 3: there was a different path there. That's really easy for
12:40
Speaker 3: us to do, as you know, when we're not experts
12:42
Speaker 3: in those situations and stuff like that.
12:43
Speaker 4: So human nature, it really is you kind of fit
12:47
Speaker 4: that make the information fit your reality in your in
12:50
Speaker 4: your head. So it does happen. But we try to
12:52
Speaker 4: show show models, show pictures, explain things as well as
12:56
Speaker 4: we possibly can. But I mean, in dental implants, they're
12:59
Speaker 4: they're kind of three levels of If we're talking about
13:02
Speaker 4: comprehensive implant treatment to treat an entire mouth, you can
13:06
Speaker 4: go from you know, the classic venture setup to using
13:11
Speaker 4: implants to snap the dentures in somehow all the way
13:13
Speaker 4: up to the bridge that stays in place. So it
13:16
Speaker 4: depends on which category you want to go into it,
13:18
Speaker 4: and a lot of times that that depends upon the
13:21
Speaker 4: patient patient's financial ability as well.
13:23
Speaker 2: And that makes sense.
13:24
Speaker 3: So I mean, it's all about having a spectrum of
13:27
Speaker 3: options that can be put in front of you, and
13:29
Speaker 3: the doctors help you do that what you're willing and
13:31
Speaker 3: able to do on yourself, and then what helps the
13:34
Speaker 3: best for your dental hygiene and for your health and
13:37
Speaker 3: things along those lines. You can address each of those
13:40
Speaker 3: things in turn in the best possible way. But the
13:43
Speaker 3: bottom line is, if you have a situation that you've
13:46
Speaker 3: been trying to tackle for a while, or maybe you've
13:50
Speaker 3: not found the right path, it's it's worth giving it
13:52
Speaker 3: a shot to get consultation to see what that is.
13:55
Speaker 3: Because technology has changed, different dental offices have different solutions
13:59
Speaker 3: for so you can check those things out. If you
14:01
Speaker 3: want to read along with us this morning and find

Speaker 3: is their number to their locations, one eight hundred Great Care.
17:12
Speaker 3: So we tease before the break that if you're looking
17:14
Speaker 3: into your smile, how you can make your smile better? Uh,
17:18
Speaker 3: And I think the first thing, and I know that
17:20
Speaker 3: we've had this discussion before, so you have to set
17:23
Speaker 3: the expectation on what a better smile is because as
17:26
Speaker 3: doctor Steve, one of the first times that we that
17:28
Speaker 3: we did a show we taught that it always stuck
17:30
Speaker 3: in my head was talking about people with too white
17:32
Speaker 3: a teeth, you know, and if they come in with
17:34
Speaker 3: this expectation that they're they when they want to smile
17:36
Speaker 3: and give off like radiation, you know, I guess that
17:39
Speaker 3: if they demanded that, that you that you're there to
17:41
Speaker 3: serve the patient ultimately, but you're gonna explain to folks
17:45
Speaker 3: that there is such thing as a naturally white smile,
17:47
Speaker 3: and there's this such thing as something that looks like
17:49
Speaker 3: an action figure, and and they're there, you want to
17:51
Speaker 3: hopefully go towards the natural look. We call it chick
17:55
Speaker 3: lit tea chick lit that's what it was.
17:57
Speaker 2: That's right. Yeah.
17:57
Speaker 5: Yeah, So so when the patient wants the super vibrant
18:01
Speaker 5: white I always double down and kind of double check
18:04
Speaker 5: and kind of show them photos online and go, are
18:07
Speaker 5: you sure right, because this is what you're gonna get
18:09
Speaker 5: and if that's what they want, then we can provide it. However,
18:12
Speaker 5: most patients go, oh yeah, I don't want that. I
18:15
Speaker 5: want I want something like that. But not necessarily that
18:17
Speaker 5: I want a little less vibrancy, Like I don't want
18:20
Speaker 5: to be emanating the sun as I walk around Charleston.
18:23
Speaker 2: Right.
18:24
Speaker 5: So there is that idea that we want to provide
18:28
Speaker 5: what's best for the patient, but sometimes the patient doesn't
18:31
Speaker 5: necessarily always know what is best for themselves, right, So
18:34
Speaker 5: we need to kind of walk them through that. I
18:36
Speaker 5: always call myself the navigator of the situation, and they're
18:39
Speaker 5: the driver. So if they want to go, they press
18:41
Speaker 5: the gas pedal. If they want to stop, they press
18:43
Speaker 5: the brake pedal, but they cannot go in any direction.
18:46
Speaker 5: I don't guide them down. Now, there are multiple paths.
18:48
Speaker 5: There's a journey, right, and so they get to pick
18:51
Speaker 5: which path they choose, and there are so many different ways.
18:54
Speaker 5: And what's really interesting is we might get halfway down
18:57
Speaker 5: the treatment plan or we're doing something else, sudden they go, actually,
19:00
Speaker 5: I want to shift. I want to change a little bit,
19:02
Speaker 5: Like Okay, let's fine. As long as you understand that
19:04
Speaker 5: we're going to have to do this and this to
19:06
Speaker 5: change it, we might you know, increase the cost just
19:08
Speaker 5: a little bit because they're doing this instead of that,
19:10
Speaker 5: And so we really work well, I'm trying to stay
19:15
Speaker 5: humble here, but I think we do a really good job,
19:17
Speaker 5: especially doctor Stephen, walking through the patients. Our staff are
19:20
Speaker 5: trained to make sure they understand fully what they're getting
19:23
Speaker 5: themselves into. We always take photos beforehand. I take photos
19:27
Speaker 5: after a lot as well, so I can show them
19:29
Speaker 5: the before and after and hand them kind of a
19:31
Speaker 5: piece of paper or I print out there before and
19:33
Speaker 5: after and go congratulations, like this is a new day
19:37
Speaker 5: for you. Doctor's orders go out there and smile, or
19:41
Speaker 5: we take some digital impressions where they can actually take
19:44
Speaker 5: a look at their smile with us. X rays are
19:47
Speaker 5: important as well, so we take all of it and
19:50
Speaker 5: kind of formulate it and try to cater to each
19:52
Speaker 5: and every patient because if you just do a cookie
19:55
Speaker 5: cutter treatment plan, they can read right through that, and
19:58
Speaker 5: so we want to make sure that they know that
19:59
Speaker 5: this is made for them, that they can choose what
20:02
Speaker 5: they want, and then we can eventually give them the
20:05
Speaker 5: smile they want or give them a better healthy smile.
20:08
Speaker 5: And that's our goal.
20:09
Speaker 3: The thing that strikes me, and with what you're talking
20:12
Speaker 3: about here, with somebody whitening their teeth other cosmetic procedures,
20:15
Speaker 3: they might get the caution reminds me a little bit
20:19
Speaker 3: of like the lower around like genie wishes or something.
20:22
Speaker 3: You know, commonly when somebody, if somebody gets tricked by
20:25
Speaker 3: a genie into making oh, I want the whitest teeth possible. Oh,
20:28
Speaker 3: you will have the whitest and then suddenly like they
20:30
Speaker 3: can't eat anything because they have some surface on their
20:33
Speaker 3: teeth that keeps them from consuming the food or whatever.
20:35
Speaker 2: Right, but they have really white teeth.
20:36
Speaker 3: You know, you want to be careful what you ask
20:38
Speaker 3: for because it may not be exactly what you actually want.
20:41
Speaker 3: And so consulting with professionals and consulting with your dentists
20:44
Speaker 3: or something like that, we can give you perfectly naturally
20:47
Speaker 3: white teeth and it will look wonderful. You don't want
20:49
Speaker 3: these these chick lit teeth or whatever. And you can
20:51
Speaker 3: help people along those lines and make sure that they
20:54
Speaker 3: have a natural look about their mouth as you're doing
20:56
Speaker 3: cosmatic stuff like and I think that's really important because
20:58
Speaker 3: if somebody just walks in and they tell you top
21:01
Speaker 3: line what they want, and somebody's like, okay, I'll give
21:03
Speaker 3: that to you without any any exploratory questions at all,
21:07
Speaker 3: the expectation and what is delivered might be different.
21:11
Speaker 4: For sure, and you need to get your spouse on board.
21:14
Speaker 2: Oh great question, great point.
21:17
Speaker 4: Yeah, I hat this happened in multiple different ways where
21:20
Speaker 4: you have one spouse come in and insist that they
21:23
Speaker 4: want to have the brightest, whitest teeth in the world,
21:26
Speaker 4: and so you deliver what the patient would want, and
21:30
Speaker 4: then the next round of family photos comes up and
21:35
Speaker 4: their teeth are much whiter than the rest of their family.
21:38
Speaker 4: And so then either the rest of the family wants
21:41
Speaker 4: to have whiter teeth or the spouse is like the
21:46
Speaker 4: patient may come back and say, my teeth are too white.
21:48
Speaker 4: You know, what are we going to So then that's
21:51
Speaker 4: a different conversation, or like, my teeth I love them,
21:55
Speaker 4: but my husband or my wife doesn't really, you know,
21:58
Speaker 4: it's paling comparisons. So maybe the the husband or wife
22:00
Speaker 4: has gets their teeth whiter as well, or it causes
22:04
Speaker 4: marital strife. So it is an interesting thing. You got
22:07
Speaker 4: to you gotta consider a lot of difference.
22:10
Speaker 2: You've seen it all. That's very true.
22:11
Speaker 3: As we talk about improving smiles, it's not, of course,
22:14
Speaker 3: just about how how white your smile is. It's also
22:16
Speaker 3: about the structure of the smile and your teeth and
22:18
Speaker 3: things like that. So what's some of the other things
22:20
Speaker 3: that somebody that's looking for a better smile quote unquote,
22:23
Speaker 3: what are some of the other things they can look into,
22:24
Speaker 3: So things.
22:25
Speaker 4: That we can do to improve smile basic from the
22:28
Speaker 4: bottom kind of the lowest type of treatment, the less
22:31
Speaker 4: least type of treatment would be whitening your teeth. You know,
22:34
Speaker 4: so if you have natural teeth that are a little dingy,
22:36
Speaker 4: of course we can whiten them and brighten them up.
22:38
Speaker 4: We can straighten them as well. That makes a big
22:40
Speaker 4: difference for a lot of patients. Many times they just
22:43
Speaker 4: our teeth are out of line and you can't clean
22:45
Speaker 4: them as well, and they don't bleach quite as well.
22:47
Speaker 4: So if we straighten them up and bleach a little
22:49
Speaker 4: bit while they're straightening their teeth with something like in visiline,
22:52
Speaker 4: then that works very well for the patient. Uh, those
22:55
Speaker 4: are all very conservative. You're not damaging teeth in any way.
22:59
Speaker 4: The next love would be cosmetic bonding. People call it
23:02
Speaker 4: or tooth colored filling material we put on their composite
23:05
Speaker 4: veneers we call them as well, few different words ways
23:08
Speaker 4: to describe that. But where we are custom forming filling
23:12
Speaker 4: material on top of the patient's tooth to change the
23:15
Speaker 4: color and change the shape. So that's another option as well,
23:18
Speaker 4: and that's very conservative as well. We generally just have
23:21
Speaker 4: to roughen the tooth up a little bit to get
23:23
Speaker 4: our filling material to stick. It doesn't, we can always
23:25
Speaker 4: remove it, and it's very conservative type of treatment. Next
23:29
Speaker 4: we go up from there to porcelain veneers, where we
23:32
Speaker 4: do have to reduce the teeth a little bit, a
23:34
Speaker 4: couple millimeters or fractions of millimeters and to make room
23:38
Speaker 4: for porcelain to then be bonded onto the tooth structure.
23:42
Speaker 4: The laboratory makes those outside of the mouth. It makes
23:44
Speaker 4: them as ideal as possible and the color and the
23:46
Speaker 4: shape that the patient would like, and then we put
23:49
Speaker 4: the veneers on there. Then if the teeth are broken
23:52
Speaker 4: down and need extra structure or amounts of the tooth
23:57
Speaker 4: built back, then we could start talking about crown so
24:00
Speaker 4: that cover the entire tooth. That could be a little
24:03
Speaker 4: more aggressive, depending on the situation with the patient how
24:05
Speaker 4: much tooth we'd have to remove, but that strengthens and
24:09
Speaker 4: changes the shape of the teeth as well.
24:11
Speaker 2: And then of.
24:11
Speaker 4: Course bridging between teeth is an option, and dental implants
24:15
Speaker 4: would be the final option if we were removing teeth
24:18
Speaker 4: and then making an entire bridge or a set of dentures.
24:22
Speaker 4: Everything that we do doctor Mitchrie from years ago to
24:24
Speaker 4: always say all of our dentistry should be cosmetic dentistry.
24:27
Speaker 4: We try to make every treatment modality look as good
24:31
Speaker 4: as it possibly can for the patient.
24:33
Speaker 3: That makes a lot of sense, and for a patient,
24:35
Speaker 3: I'm sure that that like to hear that as well.
24:38
Speaker 3: Not only are you doing the best possible thing for
24:40
Speaker 3: the patient, but each time you want to make it
24:41
Speaker 3: look as cosmetically whole as you possibly can, whatever that
24:45
Speaker 3: means in the particular situation. And again, this is something
24:49
Speaker 3: that if you have a general goal of hey, I
24:52
Speaker 3: want a better smile, this is just one of those situations.
24:54
Speaker 3: We're having a consultation with your dentist. It's going to
24:56
Speaker 3: help you out a lot in that way, because that
24:57
Speaker 3: can mean a lot of different things, almost positively mean
25:01
Speaker 3: something different to each person. So it's good to talk
25:03
Speaker 3: to your dentist and come up with a plan for
25:05
Speaker 3: something along those lines, right, and.
25:07
Speaker 5: Even getting a good cleaning, no joke, there is a
25:10
Speaker 5: lot of stain out there that if you let one
25:12
Speaker 5: of my lovely hygienists spend an hour with you, we
25:15
Speaker 5: can get a lot of that stain off. We can
25:17
Speaker 5: polish it off, and even if we can't get it
25:19
Speaker 5: all off, we can do some simple feelings to kind
25:22
Speaker 5: of make your teeth look even more vibrant. And so
25:26
Speaker 5: before we've been whiten, let's clean right, let's make sure
25:28
Speaker 5: that you have a nice healthy smiles. Yeah, but definitely,
25:33
Speaker 5: I've had patients come in being like I have all this,
25:35
Speaker 5: like my teeth are so yellow.
25:36
Speaker 2: I sheed whitening.
25:37
Speaker 5: I'm like, no, no, no, you need a cleaning and
25:39
Speaker 5: so and then once that cleaning happens or go, you
25:41
Speaker 5: were right, My teeth looks so much better now, right,
25:43
Speaker 5: all that stuff that was on there, it's off, and
25:45
Speaker 5: I'm like, yeah, let's keep it off, right, and so on.
25:48
Speaker 5: We once we had that conversation, then we hopefully give
25:51
Speaker 5: them the tools and techniques to keep it off, because
25:55
Speaker 5: we're not going home with them the brush their teeth.
25:56
Speaker 2: They need to do that at home.
25:57
Speaker 3: When a hunder Great Care is a number for a

26:10
Speaker 3: GREEB Dentalgroup dot com. That g h A R e
26:12
Speaker 3: e B GREEB Dentalgroup dot com. I want to talk
26:14
Speaker 3: a little bit about the kiddos this morning as well.
26:16
Speaker 3: And if I have an eight year old and so
26:18
Speaker 3: this has been a constant uh uh. I won't call
26:21
Speaker 3: it a battle, but uh my kid goes through through
26:24
Speaker 3: phases with with brushing her teeth.
26:25
Speaker 2: It's very strange.
26:26
Speaker 3: Sometimes it's all about the competition and so you know,
26:29
Speaker 3: we'll we'll rush to brush our teeth together and make
26:31
Speaker 3: sure we get all the spot you know, like it
26:33
Speaker 3: becomes a very healthy uh uh thing that we that
26:37
Speaker 3: we do together. And then sometimes she just wants to
26:39
Speaker 3: push back on it and she's like, I don't feel
26:40
Speaker 3: like brushing my teeth tonight.
26:42
Speaker 8: Uh.
26:42
Speaker 3: We get past those things, but kids bring up a
26:45
Speaker 3: very specific kind of challenge because for one thing, everything
26:49
Speaker 3: for kids they put sugar in.
26:50
Speaker 2: I don't know what to deal.
26:51
Speaker 3: But everything we have she has to take daily allergy
26:55
Speaker 3: medicine and she prefers the liquid over the over the
26:57
Speaker 3: pills and she takes it every day, which is fine.
27:00
Speaker 3: Has tons of sugar in it, I mean just the
27:01
Speaker 3: just just a stinking yeah, of course, but tons of
27:04
Speaker 3: sugar in and not just a little bit, tons of sugar.
27:06
Speaker 3: And so that's one of the one of the the
27:09
Speaker 3: balancing ocs and one of the challenges for your kids
27:11
Speaker 3: dental hatching. You have to really sort of evaluate what
27:14
Speaker 3: they eat because they don't they don't know any better their.
27:16
Speaker 4: Kids, Yeah, for sure, so but they should, right, come on,
27:20
Speaker 4: kids pick it up. But yeah, I mean that's a
27:23
Speaker 4: that's a common common issue, and we have patients to
27:25
Speaker 4: come in and bring there first of all, let's say
27:27
Speaker 4: it's worth seeing that the ADA and we recommend your
27:31
Speaker 4: children come in. When do they come into the dentists first?
27:33
Speaker 4: When they have to get their get their first tooth.
27:35
Speaker 4: Now that's could be a six months of age, which
27:39
Speaker 4: we're not going to bring them in and sit them
27:40
Speaker 4: down for a full hour and you know, take all
27:42
Speaker 4: this time and wear them out, you know, just to
27:45
Speaker 4: worry about a couple of teeth. But it's about getting
27:47
Speaker 4: them used to the environment, getting used to the sounds
27:50
Speaker 4: and smells and sensations of getting your teeth clean and
27:53
Speaker 4: coming to the dentist. So we want to start that
27:55
Speaker 4: good experience early. But patients that their children in maybe
28:02
Speaker 4: when it's later they feel like they've been brushing their
28:04
Speaker 4: teeth well enough and regularly and doing all of the
28:08
Speaker 4: right things, and they come in and sometimes we say,
28:10
Speaker 4: you know that your child has a lot of cavities
28:12
Speaker 4: in here, and that isn't necessarily due to a lack
28:17
Speaker 4: of proper home care. Because teeth have these little cracks
28:22
Speaker 4: in them. Everyone's open the mouth and looked and seeing
28:24
Speaker 4: these little cracks on the chewing surfaces of their teeth. Well,
28:27
Speaker 4: those little fissures we call them. If you look at
28:30
Speaker 4: them under a very high intensity microscope, the toothbrush bristle
28:35
Speaker 4: has no chance of getting down to the bottom of
28:37
Speaker 4: these grooves in the teeth. So what can happen is
28:41
Speaker 4: if you're not having regular dental checkups and it's been
28:44
Speaker 4: a long time since your child's been to the dentist,
28:46
Speaker 4: it's not uncommon for cavities to have settled into those
28:50
Speaker 4: cracks of the teeth and then grow kind of silently
28:54
Speaker 4: and then when they come in, we have to do
28:56
Speaker 4: some fillings to get those out of there, no matter
28:58
Speaker 4: what type of home care that you have. Now, also
29:00
Speaker 4: in between the teeth where the teeth touch, if your
29:03
Speaker 4: child does have the habit of drinking a lot of juice,
29:07
Speaker 4: you think, oh, juice is good. You know it's natural
29:09
Speaker 4: and all this. Well, juice has a lot of sugar
29:11
Speaker 4: in it. Sticky candies of course as well, will do
29:14
Speaker 4: that and things the kids love to eat. But that
29:18
Speaker 4: can start cavites in between the teeth very easily, and
29:21
Speaker 4: those can go hidden for a long time as well
29:22
Speaker 4: until we take our X rays and we can use
29:25
Speaker 4: our X ray vision to see between the teeth and
29:28
Speaker 4: see that well, there are cavities here starting as well.
29:30
Speaker 4: So all of this just to say that no matter
29:34
Speaker 4: how well you do on your own at home, cavities
29:37
Speaker 4: can still grow very very silently in your child's mouth
29:40
Speaker 4: without the proper intervention. That's where things like sealants come in,
29:44
Speaker 4: fluoride treatments come in to help strengthen those teeth as well.
29:48
Speaker 5: Yeah, and this is the PSA for all those parents
29:50
Speaker 5: out there. Doctor Miranda Kulaski has actually mentioned that one
29:54
Speaker 5: of the worst types of snacks to chew on is goldfish,
29:59
Speaker 5: which I was not super aware of.
30:01
Speaker 2: I kind of knew that.
30:02
Speaker 5: It was bad because you know, it's literally made of carbohydrates,
30:05
Speaker 5: which is sugar. But whenever you chew it, especially if
30:08
Speaker 5: you if these little kids are chewing one at a
30:10
Speaker 5: time slowly and then they just keep popping them in.
30:13
Speaker 5: It's kind of like a candy that you just keep eating,
30:16
Speaker 5: and once it's crushed in my microscopically sized, it just
30:20
Speaker 5: sticks into those fissures of the teeth and it's very
30:23
Speaker 5: hard to remove unless you brush immediately. So she's actually
30:26
Speaker 5: seen so many patients with cavities and the number one
30:30
Speaker 5: reason is what she can consider why it's happening.
30:34
Speaker 2: It's goldfish. Wow. Wow. Does that go for cheese its too?
30:40
Speaker 4: Probably would do a similar thing.
30:42
Speaker 3: Because we kind of switched from goldfish to to cheese
30:45
Speaker 3: its in our family.
30:46
Speaker 2: But I guess we have all had the burnt cheese its. Yes,
30:51
Speaker 2: toasted are particularly good. Yeah, I'm kind of a cheese
30:56
Speaker 2: at mark. I'm kind of a big fan of the
30:58
Speaker 2: cheese its. Yeah, my kid is too.
31:00
Speaker 3: Now I'm like, well, I've screwed up your teeth forever.
31:03
Speaker 3: And because I haven't give you a cheese.
31:04
Speaker 2: Ites and moderation.
31:05
Speaker 4: Yeah, as doctor Hanley saying, it's it's about that constant
31:08
Speaker 4: chronic exposure. You got to have your give your mouth
31:11
Speaker 4: a break to balance things out. But cheese, it's goldfish
31:16
Speaker 4: if you're if you're just snacking on them all day long,
31:18
Speaker 4: that's that's just as well as chewing on you know,
31:21
Speaker 4: candy all day long as well.
31:23
Speaker 3: Since we are in kind of the back to school
31:24
Speaker 3: era right now, let's talk a little bit about that
31:26
Speaker 3: and what kids can eat kind of as a neutral
31:29
Speaker 3: snack or at least not that bad of a snack
31:31
Speaker 3: if you send them to school with something, or if
31:32
Speaker 3: they have a choice to get something while they're at school,
31:34
Speaker 3: or something like that. Here at work, it's relatively easy.
31:36
Speaker 3: I can bring I love baby carrots. I can bring
31:38
Speaker 3: baby carrots to work and keeping them fridge. I don't
31:40
Speaker 3: like them room temperature. But if they're cold, they're snappy,
31:42
Speaker 3: they're good. They give you the crunch and all those things.
31:45
Speaker 3: Maybe in your lunchbox, those would survive, but also maybe not.
31:48
Speaker 3: And once they get a little warm or whatever, they're
31:50
Speaker 3: not going to be all that great. What's some good
31:52
Speaker 3: things that that kids can can snack on, that you
31:54
Speaker 3: can give them not only at school, but around the
31:56
Speaker 3: house or something along.
31:57
Speaker 4: The thing that I want to drive home is about drinks,
31:59
Speaker 4: that's all sure you kids now they're sipping on energy
32:02
Speaker 4: drinks all day.
32:03
Speaker 2: Long, or so much sugar, so much sugar.
32:05
Speaker 4: Sugar and acids on there as well. And again it's
32:07
Speaker 4: the chronic exposure. I tell my patients, you know, hey,
32:09
Speaker 4: I'm not going to tell you can never have a coke,
32:12
Speaker 4: but have it at lunch and be done, don't. I mean,
32:14
Speaker 4: so many come in sipping on mountain dew all day long.
32:16
Speaker 4: Well maybe in Appalachia we call that mountain dew mouth,
32:19
Speaker 4: and it just wrecks the teeth. So you have to
32:22
Speaker 4: have the limit the exposure, whether it's a snack or
32:25
Speaker 4: a drink of some sort. So for of course, drinks
32:29
Speaker 4: safe safe things to drink. For staining, I talk about
32:33
Speaker 4: drinking things clear. You know, water of course is going
32:35
Speaker 4: to be the best thing, but but there are many
32:37
Speaker 4: drinks out there that are clear, drinks that aren't going
32:39
Speaker 4: to stain your teeth as well cosmetically. But then for
32:43
Speaker 4: for sugars, again limit the time of the exposure. But
32:48
Speaker 4: you can have something that has some sugar and acid
32:51
Speaker 4: in it, but give your mouth some time to balance
32:53
Speaker 4: out any other.
32:55
Speaker 3: My clear liquid can't be sprite right, and it's and
32:59
Speaker 3: be done, you know, but that's don't drink it all
33:02
Speaker 3: day long.
33:02
Speaker 7: Well.
33:02
Speaker 3: One thing that that that has really helped us out
33:05
Speaker 3: a lot is that Caprice on of all things have
33:08
Speaker 3: come out with. They're just flavored water instead of the
33:10
Speaker 3: juice pouches. They just it's just flavored water. It's just
33:12
Speaker 3: like if you had the additive that you get from
33:14
Speaker 3: the little pouch and drop into your water, so all
33:15
Speaker 3: that it had there's nothing in it. There's no sugar
33:17
Speaker 3: in it, nothing at all. You can get them with
33:18
Speaker 3: electrolytes if you really want it, but you don't even
33:20
Speaker 3: need that. My daughter loves those and so she doesn't
33:23
Speaker 3: even actually drink them all out of the pouch. Now
33:24
Speaker 3: I'll pour them into because they're the only kids version
33:26
Speaker 3: of that that I can find. They're not that expensive.
33:28
Speaker 3: She loves those, and it has helped, Like I can
33:30
Speaker 3: visually tell that it has helped her because she's she
33:33
Speaker 3: basically doesn't drink anything that sugar anymore. She almost exclusively
33:36
Speaker 3: drinks water.
33:37
Speaker 5: Frankly, I would say the only downside of that, most
33:39
Speaker 5: likely is that it's an acidic liquid a little bit, right,
33:43
Speaker 5: But obviously almost everything we eat is not going to
33:45
Speaker 5: be a pH of seven or neutral. It's going to
33:48
Speaker 5: be a little basic, a little app acidic.
33:50
Speaker 2: Right.
33:51
Speaker 5: I just had some sparkling water. You know what actually
33:54
Speaker 5: carbonates it? Carbonic acid. Yeah, Like we're always drinking a
33:58
Speaker 5: little bit of acid. But as long as you or
34:00
Speaker 5: doing it not all day, you're you're you're you're limiting
34:03
Speaker 5: your your exposure to it. I think I think it
34:06
Speaker 5: can be safe. But I didn't know about that Caprice
34:08
Speaker 5: sunthing that that's really cool and you look into.
34:10
Speaker 3: It what we discovered, and it's really been something because
34:12
Speaker 3: she she loves others. She likes milk, and she just
34:14
Speaker 3: does drink water and different things like that. But her
34:16
Speaker 3: big thing was like just like like pouches of juice.
34:20
Speaker 3: She loved pouches of juice because they were really easy
34:21
Speaker 3: and it was just the convenience of it. Once we
34:23
Speaker 3: gave her the convenience of water in that same pouch,
34:26
Speaker 3: she she loves it. It's fine, And it wasn't the
34:28
Speaker 3: sugar so much. A's just the convenience.
34:30
Speaker 5: I have a funny story about that. This is not
34:32
Speaker 5: about kids, so kids don't tell about an adult. She
34:35
Speaker 5: came to me and said, I love to drink wine,
34:37
Speaker 5: but it's staining my teeth.
34:38
Speaker 2: What can I do.
34:39
Speaker 5: I'm like, don't drink wine. And then she goes, you
34:41
Speaker 5: know what, I'm gonna keep drinking wine, but I use
34:43
Speaker 5: a straw, and I'm like, go for it. Trying to
34:46
Speaker 5: pass it by the.
34:47
Speaker 4: Teeth some people, some people have success with that with
34:50
Speaker 4: coffee as well, you know, and they drink coffee through
34:52
Speaker 4: a strata avoids staining and oh weird. All right, all right,
34:56
Speaker 4: but healthy snacks, uh, not the not to avoid that
35:01
Speaker 4: as much. But cheeses, yogurts, those are all healthy things
35:03
Speaker 4: that can help apps, all right, of course, fruits.
35:06
Speaker 3: And vegetables, that's all great stuff. GREEB Dental Group, one line,
