Epigraph (Motto/Zitat) |
Die Informationen stammen von der englischen "Wissenswertes"-Seite. Ändern, um den Eintrag der eigenen Sprache anzupassen. All truth passes through three stages: first it is ridiculed, second it is violently opposed, and third it is accepted as self-evident.
--Arthur Schopenhauer, nineteenth-century philosopher ![](https://image.librarything.com/pics/transdot.gif) I will prescribe a regimen for the good of my patients according to my ability and my judgment and never do harm to anyone. If I keep this oath faithfully, my I enjoy my life and practice my art, respected by all men and in all times; but if I swerve from it or violate it, may the reverse be my lot.
--The Hippocratic Oath ![](https://image.librarything.com/pics/transdot.gif) If I wish to compose or write or pray or preach well, I must be angry. Then all the blood in my veins is stirred and my understanding is sharpened.

In March 2007, the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry published a tragic story on its website. Eight-year-old Raven Blanco, from Chesapeake, Virginia, stopped breathing while receiving treatment at a pediatric dental office. Mild sedation had been used to calm the girl during the course of treatment, but at some point Raven became unresponsive. Her family watched as the dentist tried to save her. An ambulance arrived about seven minutes later, but the emergency medical crew could not revive Raven. Why she died is a mystery.
Before Raven went to sit in the dentist's chair, she gave her father a ring from her finger. She said, "Daddy, hold this until I get out."
"And I'm [still] holding it. I'm going to give it to her when I see her. I'm going to tell her, "Raven, I held it for you," said her father.
This book is dedicated to Raven Blanco. ![](https://image.librarything.com/pics/transdot.gif) | |

Die Informationen stammen von der englischen "Wissenswertes"-Seite. Ändern, um den Eintrag der eigenen Sprache anzupassen. Dental problems in a dry mouth may actually be made worse with excessive toothbrushing or the frequent use of mouth rinses like Listerine, which itself has an acidity level capable of dissolving tooth enamel if it remains, undiluted, on teeth for a long period of time. ![](https://image.librarything.com/pics/transdot.gif) Ideally, you should take a mouth acidity (pH) reading in the morning, right after you wake up. This will give you a recording that is independent of changes caused by eating or drinking. ![](https://image.librarything.com/pics/transdot.gif) One of the first places to notice damage is on the outside surface of back molar teeth. Pieces of enamel chip away where teeth bend and flex, creating a groove close to the gum line. ![](https://image.librarything.com/pics/transdot.gif) In fact, an intricate interplay exists among the many kinds of bacteria that live in the misunderstood and often feared biofilm that forms naturally over the surface of our teeth. This film or healthy plaque is not leftover food stuck between your teeth, but a delicate mesh of proteins and other materials harboring a neighborhood of living bacteria. ![](https://image.librarything.com/pics/transdot.gif) No amount of brushing, flossing, or professional cleanings can completely rid your mouth of bacteria. ![](https://image.librarything.com/pics/transdot.gif) Damage can progress quickly once the bacteria of periodontitis start to multiply in pockets, gradually destroying more and more tooth-connecting fibers. Although people usually feel no pain at this stage, they may start to notice a bad taste in their mouth or have constant bad breath because food particles and infection also build up in the pocket. Some patients nevertheless do feel a dull, throbbing pain which is from inflammation and buildup of infection in the confined area of the tooth socket. ![](https://image.librarything.com/pics/transdot.gif) | |

I read about this cleaning system from an all natural friend and was a little leery. When I looked into it I found that the items need for the system could all be purchased at the grocery store. Granted the author makes her own brand of xylitol gum and mints (you could certainly buy another brand) - the rest of the goods include Cloysis rinse, Crest, Listerine and Act. All items I had a familiarity with.
The book is a quick read. You can skim or read in depth for the parts you have an interest in. This was the first book that gave me some real answers as to what might be causing rampant cavities in my family. What I found most interesting is that my daughter has suffered from ear infections and rampant cavities - and never put together that they could be related.
I tested the system for one week before a dentist visit and although there was a cavity to be found, I was complimented on my overall oral health (gums etc). Issues I was having with dry mouth and sensitivity and breath are all improving.
So far so good - One happy camper here. I will not be parting ways with my dentist *nor does the author want you too* but I am approaching my oral health in a new light. (
