Is dentistry going to the dogs?

"Dentists are like dogs. You simply cannot trust them! (Grrrr... grrrrr... joke)



Just listen to what I just read on the Internet.

A dentist in the state of New York has been sued because a part of the drill perforated the patient's maxillary sinus when he pulled her tooth. Then the part got stuck just a few inches beneath her eye socket.
-Wow!-

The patient says this was because the dentist had the radio on.
-Ever saw that fishy movie Shark Tale? Two of these delicious creatures called fish work at the car wash. That's the song the dentist danced to: Car Wash.-

In the end, the patient had to undergo an emergency operation and was in the hospital for three days.

This all happened a few years ago, but the patient says she still suffers from swellings in her face, a damaged nerve and chronic inflammations. She demands 600.000 dollar of the dentist.
-Well, I guess he can pay that. He's a dentist you know....-

The patient also says that the dentist tried to remove the part with a hook and -when this did not work- said that it would probably get out if she would sneeze. Doctors had told the patient that she could have gone blind if she had sneezed."

BINGO!

This is the local Bingo-hall on a Sundaynight. Unless it's Christmas or New Year's Day, I am always there on a Sunday.

Last Sunday, my partner, Monique, went along. She doesn't like Bingo, in fact she hates it. Yet sometimes she rather joins me than staying home alone.

In round 4 or 5, I suddenly heard Monique whisper 'Bingo'. Well, actually she was sort of calling out loud, but let's say that my loud is a bit different from her loud. The number that filled out her three rows was 45.

I looked at her and stuttered something about jackpots. She looked back as if she saw a ghost, but in the end we went home with 410 Euros....

Now what could we buy with 410 Euros?

10 high quality fillings
41 (??? hm) extractions
2 bleachings (better make that 1 because I have dentures)
1 zirconium oxide crown
etc. etc.

So much money, so many options!

But.... good girls go to heaven and bad girls go everywhere,so I think we'll add some of our savings and go for a 102 centimetres LCD TV instead....

Am I narrow minded?

When I was a child, I lived in The Hague (Holland), opposite to a major railway. Now I live on a square. With friends and other human beings and animals I need closeness, but when looking out of the windows of my home, I need distance.

Spacious is one of the words that fit our clinic. Waiting in such a lovely environment makes a big difference to our patients, especially to the anxious ones.

In 2008, with all the problems around the NHS dentists, people are looking for alternatives. Private clinics used to be far out of reach for the not-so-rich, but clinics like ours make dental treatment affordable for many people.

Hey, I know you! You're That Guy!"

Next time, start looking around for Billy Connolly, who says he is well-known in the States, but they never seem to know his name.

Being a MIP means getting first class service and treatment for economy prices!

Some observations by Billy:

People who say things like "My eyes aren't what they used to be." So what did they used to be? Ears? Wellington boots?

People who are willing to get up to search the entire room for the TV remote because they refuse to walk to the TV and change the channel manually.

People who point at their wrist while asking for the time.... I know where my watch is pal, where is yours?''

When people say "life is short". Life is the longest thing anyone ever does!! What can you do that's longer?

Analyze this...

No, this is not a scene from the latest horror film.... not the new mask for Hannibal Lecter...

This is included in our prices for dental crowns and is called 'function analysis'. Basically, it is a multistep procedure that provides diagnostic information to analyze your bite.


Many people have an overbite and many ask us if this can be solved with veneers or crowns. Many times we have to say no.

Braces are no fun at all, but sometimes they are inevatible.

We do not do them. You need several check up and adjustment visits to your dentist and in that way the braces would become unaffordable.

When the braces have done their job, you can come to Dentaprime, though.

A blonde went to the dentist and the dentist told her she needed braces. The blonde said, ''Why? I can walk just fine.'' When the dentist explained to her that braces are for her teeth, she said, ''But my teeth don't walk...''

English teeth

English Teeth, English Teeth!
Shining in the sun
A part of British heritage
Aye, each and every one.

English Teeth,
Happy Teeth!
Always having fun
Clamping down on bits of fish
And sausages half done.

English Teeth!
HEROES' Teeth!
Hear them click! and clack!
Let's sing a song of praise to them -
Three Cheers for the Brown Grey and Black.

So what?! This cat is called 'Belle' and opinions differ about her beauty....

Dentaprime has many British patients and about 50 per cent of them ask us to straighten their teeth.

If you really want your teeth to be straight, braces are inevitable. Teeth move through the use of force. The force applied by the archwire pushes the tooth in a particular direction. A tooth will usually move about a millimeter per month during orthodontic movement, but there is high individual variability.

Wearing braces means a lot of maintenance. Not only visits to the treating orthodontist, but also buying or making a dental kit, containing:

A travel or full-size toothbrush
A small tube of toothpaste
A folding cup
Dental floss and floss threaders (or the special floss with the hard ends)
A little spiral dental brush
Interdental picks that you can find in any drug store
Dental wax
A small mirror
A packet of tissues
Breath drops or spray, if you like those products

Veneers and crowns can make teeth appear straight. If that is good enough for you, then come to Dentaprime.

Why do male deer need braces?
Because they have buck teeth!
