Open Wider: Your Wallet Not Your Mouth
This is a consumers guide to dentistry. Two of the authors saw dentists who were overselling dentistry. What made them suspicious? It is your responsibility to be a smart dental consumer. Over treatment has become rampant in today’s dental office; how can you guard against this? Dental ads, smile design, photos of your teeth on a TV monitor are all warning signs of unnecessary treatment. Only in America do we remove wisdom teeth when kids turn 16. Only about 1 wisdom tooth in 10 needs to be removed. You can die from general anesthesia when having teeth removed. It is important that your dentist know about your medical problems. Dentures are like glass eyes they look pretty good but do not work very well. Implants can stabilize dentures. Implants offer new teeth for those who have lost their teeth but they are costly. Once you retire you probably will not have dental insurance. Prepare your mouth for retirement. What you should know about your dental insurance. This book will help you be a wise consumer.
