Both dentistry and medicine are primarily focused on treating disease. The vast investment in healthcare is expended in diagnosing and managing illnesses. In the case of dentistry, the repair and replacement of teeth has been the primary focus.
It is estimated that up to 70% of medical conditions are the results of lifestyle issues, whereas in dentistry, ineffective oral hygiene results in approximately 90% of dental decay and periodontal disease. Plaque forms twice a day and its complete removal is necessary to prevent disease. Without repeated education, almost all individuals are ineffectual in performing this task adequately.
Although drsavemyteeth is how I’ve chosen to brand myself, the philosophical mantra of what I believe in has been demonstrated by a vast majority of patients who have been treated in my office for many, many years and maintained their teeth, implants, and oral health.
