I think you need a second opinion. Dentists make money by finding things wrong w/our teeth. This one may be very motivated to work on your teeth, but that may not be in your best interest.

That was a waste of your time and your money. What a jerk! I'd say you fell into the chair of one the worst of the worst. Amazing he didn't come up with a root canal too, except he was probably gearing you up for the next visit.

This kind of dental exam just validates what we have been saying all along. Hell, I don't know why people are still going to this idiots unless they have an abcess or something major. I'm sorry to vent, but they have caused so much damage, pain and cost to people. They are virtually unnecessary, but we are so brainwashed, that most people still visit them every 6 months as INSTRUCTED. Why? Because that is what the ADA and our parents told us to do, and the TV......Your dentist loves it..it's easy money if you just book your 6 month appt. Do you go see your doctor every 6 months? No you don't. The ADA has a VERY effective marketing campaign. Along with how great flouride is for you!

EVERYONE...before you go back to the next dentist, please order and read this e-book about dental self-sufficiency. What I learned from this book? You know when you go sit in the dental chair and they pick at your teeth with those sharp prongs? What are they doing? They are trying to break through your enamel looking for weak spots. And if they do break through, what do they do? They begin a new cavity....Makes sense, right? Do you know how dangerous teeth cleaning can be from the release of huge amounts of bacteria into your system? Why do you think we all oil pull?

" By now you may be wondering why this information isn't more widely discussed. If public knowledge is so flagrantly incorrect, why isn't it corrected?

The question is this: Who would do the correcting? If the establishment of professional dentistry doesn't do it, how will it get done? And that is one of the most startling, scandalous parts of what you are going to discover. Conventional dentistry has abdicated its responsibility as healers and doctors; has traded its honor for a fat bank account. Dentistry today doesn't want you to prevent dental disease because there is too much income to be had repairing disease-damaged teeth. The profession teaches and performs services designed to repair or replace symptoms; the dentist does nothing to attack the disease itself."

Dr. Nara was a dentist who was kicked out by the ADA. He speaks the truth and he is a rebel against all the injustices of the dental profession. He's a whistleblower. He makes perfect sense. He's my hero.

*Edited* Just remember, for the first few years you are paying off their huge college finance loans, and after that it's all about lifestyle. And I may not be finished with this post as I think of other things to say.

One more thing, a dentist gave my Mom a broad spectrum Antibiotic that was so powerful that it gave her colitis.....bastard.

For about a year I dated a certified dental assistant, with 25 years of experience. The dentist she worked for (my ex dentist) would run $14,000.00 through his books on a regular day. On a very busy day it would be $20,000.00. This guy would run you through there as fast as he could. He had 3 gals cleaning teeth. The stories she told me about his greed was amazing.

Those f*uckers. I have not been to the dentist in 6 years and my teeth are doing great. My gums are less receded, mouth is looking better, etc. As Molly said, it is a total f'ing RACKET and they'll tell you something's wrong in a skinny minute to get some cash out of your insurance company. And the thing is, it is DREADFULLY dangerous, also as M. said.

My belief is that a lot of liver/GB stones surround material from the mouth which has caused infection and entered the blood. The lymph drains into the GB/liver. I had terrible non-oral infactions twice after 6-mo. cleanings w/ HUGE swollen lymphs and I am sure my lymphs were overloaded and backed up.

What happens to me, in a nutshell over time -- I grew up in Iodine depletion. I was ALWAYS in the pool growing up, which is so chlorinated it will cause Cl absorption for anyone. That's when I started to get ENT stuff - chronic inner ear infections, chronic strep. So a cycle of infections set up in my system that no Antibiotic could fully reach. All of a sudden later in life all of the Chronic-Fatigue-Syndrome stuff, etc. That stuff does not come out of thin air!

I think we ought to toss around ideas about switching this forum's name to more fully reflect this service we provide, which is Mouth Health. I know there is a tooth forum, but it is awesome to have been part of the Judd/Nara revelations here, and it might "pull" in some others that might not otherwise notice us with just oil pulling in the title.

Any ideas on that!

Break up with your dentist! There is nothing he or she can do that you can't do all by yourself, and there is a lot of harm that Molly outlined that can be done, to book. It's different from doctors. We have to trust a dentist because they have tools, equipment and (we think) knowledge that we don't -- unlike a doctor where you can tell if your arm is broken, for instance, so that ain't gonna be news to you by the time you get there! I don't trust them -- know there are good ones out there, but I also know what a business/bottom line motivation is, and that 6-month thing -- well, I'd rather bank that money twice a year for my kids than pay for someone else's kids' ponies and ski trips (my dentists' kids growing up always had A-rated ponies and trips to Utah, etc. so I know that this means!)

Sorry to rant, but I am so pissed off for S2, and also kinda migraining, so a bad and cussin' combo ....

Hope you all are well! Miss you -- hard these days to be in front of the screen b/c of light/migraine but I will return! Hope everyone is having an awesome summer and that it's cool where you are...it's a complete swamp here in Richmond....

I have never heard of a flouride treatment (entire mouth) for an adult. Most dental insurance specifically indicate those are for children, etc.

I usually leave a cleaning with a handful of floss, including floss for under bridges, toothbrushes, toothpaste - for free...

I've never had a dentist try and sell me Peroxyl. I've had them recommend buying some at CVS! But never trying to sell me some.

This sounds like a salesman and nothing more. 2nd opinion at least needed.
