But you don't have to change your dentist !

The campaign to "eradicate dental caries in Utah in 2010" has an end goal of accomplishing just that and the best way to do that is to have as many people as possible helping to achieve that end goal....Each average dentist has about 1000 active patients more or less. The Surgeon General in 2003 mentioned where the source of the "national coordinated movement" that would get rid of the "silent epidemic of oral disease". He said it would start at the "grass roots"'; those who actually followed the simple directions and ended up curing dental caries and maintaining the cure would be called "role models of behavior change". Evidentally he thought that those who knew and trusted those individuals would like the same benefit. He was right, theoretically. Some would also have good people in their inner circle of friends, family, etc. that would also want the benefits and the good news that dental caries could be prevented would travel down these naturally occuring pathways of relationships and eventually it would be spread nation-wide.

You will not be asked to change your dentists for a couple of reasons:
1. Your success would make you a "role model of behavior change" and what you would be doing to
achieve that is not even offered but in a very few offices in Utah. A CureDontist doesn't use shots, and drills to do dental restorations, only risk assessments and teaching cure and risk management. When you return to your dentist for any dental restorations you could share that you learned to "cure" the disease before doing any fillings and that you have confidence and respect for his ability to take care of those things for you now. Perhaps there are others in his practice who would also like to consider the "be cavity-free for life". This would be an excellent way to bring the whole message of the surgeon general;that besides optimal oral health, achieving optimal general health also was "intrinsic". This would help the spread of membership in the growing group of the Optimal health wellness association, Patients' own which will be a powerful movement for good in the health care field. There will be more information offered to those who actually value optimal health and achieve a level of success. You will want to hear this!
So, no competition here with your family dentist. In fact, we would encourage him to offer the same "Optimal health" to his patients also and free expert training is available for him from the sponsoring corporations.
2. I guess I covered the second reason. Your dentist probably doesn't even do "dental risk factor assessment" and management , so this is a choice to see a "specialist" to do his thing and then return to those who do restorations to do their thing for you. You'll have the best of both worlds with no challenge to long standing Doctor patient relationships. Besides, the sponsoring corporations are so interested in success to eradicate disease that it could be made even more worth your while to pass the information on to others and help them also save perhaps tens of thousands of dollars by being well rather than being sick and having to pay to get back to well again...........a personal consultation would be the best source of this opportunity to be part-of-the-solution for others besides yourself. Thanks. Good people are always welcome.
