| What do you like about this subject? My training in this area has given me the gift to impact the lives of others. As a lifelong student, I continue to be stimulated by the scope of new knowledge that is forthcoming about oral health. Success is achieved when two or more people work together for a common goal. | | Something interesting about this subject that others may not know: The jaws can be thought of as a three legged stool. Consider the teeth to be one of the legs, and the two jaw joints (TMJs) [located forward of the ears] to be the other two legs. Anything that overloads one "leg", will tend to overload the others. Thus, the first sign of impending damage to the teeth often shows up in the jaw joints first. | | What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? It is not possible to predictably restore stable oral health without a thorough examination and a complete diagnosis of the problem(s). If the causes of disease are not addressed, any treatment provided can be expected to be nothing more than a short term fix. New materials, techniques and technologies are being developed to address these issues | | Something controversial or provocative about this subject Managed care, HMOs, PPOs, and various other insurance products have pressured participants to focus on speed and cost reduction, rather than caring and effectiveness. Is it less costly to patch poblems over and over again, or to care for them the right way the first time? |
