what i learned this week:
1) fear is a very powerful motivator and must be managed well. or else patients will go and do stupid things and make stupid choices.
2) the people who have dental anxiety tend to have heightened gag reflexes and strong circumoral and tongue muscle tone. truly trouble never comes singly.
3) never underestimate the trouble in matrix banding a lone-standing tooth and trying to get good contour from the outset. it's not going to happen.
4) the person who smokes a pack a day is smoking just over $10 bucks of noxious chemicals every day. this means that the SAP visit he claims is too expensive could be afforded by, oh, say, stopping smoking for 5 or 6 days. the single unit chrome partial by not smoking for, oh, 2 months. and then imagine the patient who smokes 2 packs a day...
4a) truly, smoking is a great social evil that keeps the poor poorer. and yet it is a self-inflicted poverty that strikes in 2 phases; the first when the person spends his hard-earned Yusof Ishaks on smokes, and second when he lands his posterior on the NCC treatment list...
