I absolutely love your post! You got it exactly. Pack your bags because you are now going on a guilt trip. You've been told for years and years...see your dentist every six months or all the teeth will fall out of your head. It's insidious advertising by the ADA lobbies who keep dentists rich. They are firmly in the American psyche. How many people have said to you, sheepishly....I haven't been to see a dentist in a year! You can see the guilt on their face, this horrifying revelation they are telling you. Your note is extemely telling, and your analysis of it was spot on perfect. I will leave you with a snippet from the book by Dr. Nara. He couldn't have said it any better.


Advertising?—"only one cavity," or "30% fewer cavities," or "can be of significant value"
(that's a sweetheart, that one...it means, bluntly, that there was enough data so that it could be
measured, not exactly overwhelming, is it?). Let's take a further look into advertising: Prime time
TV, right? Your living room, the center of your household, right? You and the kids sitting there,
being "programmed" (is brainwashed a better word?)...What you see most often in dental
advertising is for dentures! You are flooded with misinformation about adhesives and cleansers
and deodorants all of which are primarily designed to "sell" you on the benefits of denture
products. These advertisements cost hundreds of thousands of dollars; you'd better believe they
are psychologically "loaded" to hit you at every level of your cognitive and cognitive processes.
Will they make a ''believer'' out of you? They sure will!

While the individual companies are vying with one another to get you to believe in their own
product over the other guy's, what the sum total of their advertising is doing to you is
programming you to accept the flat-out lie that dentures are inevitable and beneficial.
They are not inevitable...and they are extremely dangerous to your health. The problem is:
How are you going to know that unless the misinformation is counteracted?
Remember: You perceive reality through (1) programming, through (2) thinking about
information you're given, and (3) through insight, intuition, emotion.

You've been programmed all your life against any hope that dental disease can be avoided, so
we can forget that aspect. For the second hope: Who would tell you the truth, so you can arrive at
rational, logical decisions? –Would your dentist, or the A.D.A.? Here's a little something for you
to think about: Every time you see or hear an advertisement which mentions the A.D.A. as
"recognizing" the product's value, that means the A.D.A. has endorsed it. Analyze the next
several denture-related advertisements and see how many of them have the A.D.A. stamp of
approval...

Your final avenue of perception is your own insight, and the cards are stacked against this to
an insurmountable degree. Your mom and dad had bad teeth. Your husband or wife has bad teeth.
You have bad teeth...hey; your dentist has bad teeth! Surrounded by this sea of dental disease,
your insight has no chance to make the quantum-leap through to the truth. Emotionally, you are
geared more toward despair than hope; and this subconscious reverse insight has a powerful
effect on your rational thinking.

Your perception of "dental reality" –your frame of reference toward dental disease –has set
you up like a clay pigeon: Your name has become "target" and guess who is sitting on the firing
line? Two bad actors you've already met, earlier in this book: Lactobacillus acidophilus and
Streptococcus mutans. What will they do to you? They'll destroy your dental health and damage
your overall health.
