Serving up some hot cognitive dissonance here. -|- "Although dentistry has long been identified as being far more preventive-oriented than most other areas of medicine, the emphasis on disease treatment is still the predominant activity of most dentists."
The problem with #Dentistry and #Prevention in a nutshell. -|- "In contrast, if the dentist is accomplishing the preventive procedures, the overhead is enormous, and the practice may not have adequate revenue."
Ditto. Treatment ≠ Prevention, no matter how you phrase it. -|- "What preventive orientation can the dentist have? The following procedures can provide preventive characteristics to your restorative treatment."
Horse gone, close barn door. -|- " Preventive restorative procedures using newly modified known cariostatic restorative materials provide cariostatic restorations for your patients."
Some people just never learn. Two days a year maybe, a pt goes to the #Dentist. 363 days of the year they do not. So why put the emphasis on what is done (or not done) in a dental office? The demand is for competent teachers of personal oral hygiene.
For which Hygienists are trained. Dr Fones would not recognize the practice of #DentalHygiene today. It is not what he wanted. If the #Dentist delegates the info, it does not carry the same weight, sadly. Teaching personal oral hygiene, that is effective, is what is called for.
Prevention means zero disease. Try harder.
