Description
Bite & Smile: Delving into Dental Care for an Informed Choice by Robert Sudha Hamilton. Epub version 350 pages
“Every tooth in a man’s head is more valuable than a diamond.” ~ Miguel de Cervantes
You will see this quote bandied about quite a bit on dental websites online. The reason why, is that it is so true. Of course, Miguel de Cervantes was born in the 16C, which is why the quote does not read ‘every tooth in a person’s head’ is more valuable than a diamond’. Teeth, as most older folk know well, are sorely missed when they go missing for whatever reason. Regrets mount up as we age and loves’ lost are right up there with wishes we had taken better care of our teeth when we were younger. George Washington had wooden false teeth, apparently, and yet it did not stop him doing great things. Still, I bet he would have valued having sound natural teeth very highly if presented with the option at the height of his acclaim. Second chances, or third chances in actual fact, have never been on the cards when it comes to our natural teeth. However, that may be just about to change, according to exciting studies and tests occurring right now at the cutting edge of dental biology. Imagine being able to regrow your missing natural teeth! You can read about this and other truly wondrous stuff in this book.
Delving Into Dental Care
Celebrating many years of writing about dentists. I sometimes feel that I have learned so much from doing SEO for dental clinics that when Bunnings releases their first DIY home dentistry kit I will be one of the first to buy it. I even thought about naming my daughter Bicuspid but was persuaded out of it by my wife. Famous posts like, “Braces Don’t Lead To Embraces” and “The Wisdom Of The Third Molar” have established my bonafides in the dental world.
Biting Into The Nitty Gritty Of Dentistry
Only in America do you find massively overpaid celebrities paying their dentist to be artist/jeweller and affixing precious metal grills to their teeth. The relentless search to stand out from the crowd has seen the rap scene embrace the metallic look in the oral cavity. Apparently, the roots of this could possibly be linked to the ‘new savage’ movement. It began, of course in the 1980’s with piercings and tattoos. Young folk flocked to parlours where they could be illustrated in ink and pierced in painful places with metallic jewellery. Facial piercings, genital piercings, and nipple rings were popular with Generations X, Y, Z. I suppose it was only a matter of time before this desire to adorn body parts moved onto the teeth.
