Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / January 2009Husband vs wife
I saw my patient of 21 years this week and he wanted me to sign my book. He was going to give it to his wife. He and his wife have "periodontal" disease. His wife can to see me in 1991 for a consult, and she decided to be treated by a periodontist and not be me. He has been treated by me only. They both smoke. He tells me she has had repeated periodontal surgeries, in the same quadrants, and has lost teeth. He has not lost any teeth. I feel today he is in excellent dental health. He asked me why I don't give lectures after reading my book. I told him, dentists do not want to hear lectures on how they will make less money, dentists want to hear lectures on how to make more money.

I'm already making less money. I guess I don't need your book.

Interesting observation that periodontal disease is not identical in different people and that there are claims that genetic and health factors are involved in this disease. Do we talk like this about other "bacterial" diseases? >> And,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, everyone knows the periodontal disease must be >> identical in two different people with different genetics and health factors [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Do we talk like this about other "bacterial" diseases? Without getting into specifics, I can tell you first hand that identical genetics is no guarantee of identical periodontal status (or identical status for many other conditions).

No doubt, in light of your disinterest in money, you will posting a link so all can read it for free! Cheers Mick. Isn't it a sample size of "one" since someone else is treating the wife?

Well, Money is important in life, but should it dictate treatment? I think not. Is the most expensive treatment the best , especially when there is a lack of epidemiology in dentistry. The book has an emphasis on the lack of epidemiology in dentistry. And, unfortunately, dentistry is more immune to regulations about individual treatment then medicine. Want to read the book for free? Ask your library for a copy. Also, it is also available as an ebook. Dr. David DiBenedetto > Well, > > Money is important in life, but should it dictate treatment?
