Dentistry

A dentist is not somebody who usually spends much time teaching people how to prevent tooth decay, that is in a real sense, with nutrition.

Some dentists are good hearted people, many are in it for the money, and are just doing what they learned in school.

Most dentists promote tooth brushing, flossing, limiting snacking with sweet foods, and fluoride treatments as preventative measures.

Unfortunately, they do not seem to work. Time and time again, the cavities still form, and then it seems like it just happens because the patient did not brush or floss enough.

Dentists are Surgeons

A Dentist, D.D.S., is a Doctor of Dental Surgery.

A surgeon, is not the same as a body chemistry expert, and is not the same as an expert in preventative health measures.

Dentists spend little time learning about nutrition in dental school.

The job of the dentist is to use the tool of dental surgery to fix your complaint.

If you feel pain, the dentist will operate on your tooth, so that the pain is removed.

Dentists Offer a Variety of Treatments

The goal of the treatments is to take you out of pain, and also there is the hope that the treatment will pevent future dental pain.

A Dentists Uses Surgery To Prevent Pain

When you go to a dentist, you are asking him or her to fix a problem you have.

The problem is that your overall health and vitality are decreased, and that you are experiencing, or are afraid of experiencing pain.

Tooth pain and infection is caused when the bodies defensive mechanisms are down, and went there is a breach in the barrier that protects the sensitive inner layer of your tooth, the pulp, from the outer world.

Dentists treat this problem with surgery. They removed decayed tooth, and then block up the hole with a synthetic material. This is called a filling.

Dentists also offer other services, like cleaning the deposits off of your teeth, or whitening your teeth with chemicals.

These services are medical procedures which they are specially trained to do, and they usually do well.

The problem with modern dentistry, is that it is treating a condition that is here now, rather than teaching and empowering people how to prevent dental plaque, tooth pain, tooth decay, gum disease and other oral health problems, before it comes to a point where surgery is necessary.
