In the past year, 39 percent took some action to cut costs. The poll of more than 1,100 people found that 45 percent of people take at least one prescription drug and average four. But 27 percent said they didn’t always comply with a prescription, and 38 percent of those younger than 65 without drug coverage didn’t fill prescriptions at all. Just over half of patients felt that doctors didn’t consider their ability to pay when prescribing a drug, while nearly half blamed drugmaker’s influence for physicians’ prescribing habits.

That makes DMG America one cool cat. Instead of treating a decaying tooth with remineralization or a filling, dentists can now rebuild a decaying tooth with Icon caries infiltrant by DMG America. No drill. No filling. No problem. Icon is a microscopic, invasive material that literally fills and reinforces tooth enamel. The product can be used for smooth surfaces and proximal caries that extends to the first third of dentin, D1. In just 15 minutes, you can restore the integrity of a tooth with progressing caries. Simply prepare the area with a rubber dam, then treat the tooth with a gel containing 15% HCL. The pores will open in the affected area, and you will then rinse, apply ethanol to dry, and then air dry the tooth. Apply Icon to the lesion and light cure.

They can range from a toothache to damage to the jaw. Would you know what to do in a dental emergency? According to a survey of 1000 people, done by Majestic Drug Company, the most dental emergencies occurred to people in lower income brackets. The press release said that this was an interesting finding, but it is really not all that surprising. Those in the lower income brackets as defined by this survey (less than $35,000 per year income) likely have less access to a dentist and may avoid the cost of preventative dental care, compared with the higher income (over $100,000). However, the press release did have some good tips on what to do if you find yourself with a problem with your teeth: Knocked out tooth. If a...

One in six Americans experienced a dental emergency in the past year. Seventy-two percent of Americans have fillings, caps, or crowns, and 23 percent of dental emergencies relate back to these restorations. In these situations, 67 percent of respondents went directly to a dentist, and 14 percent tried to find a temporary solution. Nineteen percent did nothing. The survey revealed that out of a thousand people, respondents with an annual income under $35K had a higher instance of dental emergency than those with an income exceeding $100K. How can you help your patients avoid a dental emergency? Inform them.

William Yeats described this successful approach best when he advocated  building on people’s strengths.  In Yeat's words:  Learning is more the lighting of a fire than the filling of a pail. Do you agree? For Dewey, people’s inner fires are ignited through active learning, which he described as a process that involves discovery and delightful curiosity. Does it happen where you work? Learners activate their unique capability to learn when we inspire them to create. I remember a few years ago when, after many years of teaching university, I identified with Los, a character in Blake’s poem, Jerusalem. Los said: I must Create ...
