The dentures need to be checked for proper fit and wear periodically. And by the same token, the oral tissues need to be checked for signs of improper fit, cancer screening, etc.

Most of the bleaching kits available over the counter aren’t as strong so they aren’t as effective as the bleaching gels used in a dental office. But they can be an effective tool to whiten teeth if used properly along with good oral hygiene. Overuse can cause problems with the teeth especially...

For me it’s the way Insurance companies pay on major restorative procedures. For instance, a patient comes in for a crown or bridge. So you allow 60-90 minutes on your schedule for prep, impressions,etc. Then there is the cost of the restoration actually being fabricated. Then the time allotted for placement. So you have time and $$ invested, but you can’t file a claim until the restoration is placed. I have seen a situation arise where we had to wait 3 months because the patient works out of town. And then when you file the claim it may take 6-8 weeks to get paid if they approve the claim. In the last 3 years I have had 2 instances where Delta Dental denied the claim saying an asymptomatic tooth had to have a root canal before they would pay for a restoration. So they, in essence are dictating treatment without a license to practice dentistry.

Education will get you started in dentistry but there’s no substitute for experience. Over the last 26 years I have seen dentistry change so much. Methods, materials. I once thought we would see less and less decayed teeth with advances in preventative care, but with the rise of the incidence of dry mouth problems and drug abuse, I don’t foresee decay of teeth lessening any time soon. So learn all you can every day.
