Ryan Holiday is one of my favorite authors. He introduced me to stoicism, a thought with which I am madly in sync. I listen to his books on Audible, but I also re-read the text of his work. I remember his voice and allow the words to envelop me, to develop me, to shape me, to carry me, to move me. There is a section in “Discipline Is Destiny” where he talks about doing the right thing for the right reason.

As a child, I would take my fingernail and scrape white “junk” off my teeth. That was plaque building up on my pearly whites. I wasn’t a great brusher then. But, in my defense, I really didn’t understand how to brush any better. I thought it normal to wake up with a fuzzy feeling on my teeth, and to again feel that coating midafternoon.

By: Dr. Savanah Craig During my residency training, I learned about a new aspect of dentistry that was completely foreign to me: Hospital Dentistry. With our societal separation of dentistry and medicine from each other, we have also removed the idea of oral care in conjunction with the care of the rest of the body in most of our minds. Although the majority of people will not encounter a dentist outside of a traditional dental office or clinic, there are many patients who require dental care in

Compliance. What do you think of when you see that word? Better yet, what emotions does that word stir up? How do you feel when you are ordered to comply with things like OSHA and HIPAA regulations? How about complying with tax laws, court orders, speed limits, and other rules of society? I’m not asking if you do or do not comply; I’m asking what emotions compliance stirs up.

Perhaps if we were able to treat cracked or broken teeth with the ease of treating broken bones, more people would seek treatment promptly. Unfortunately, cracked teeth are often invisible to the outside world, and small enough that, even though they can cause a great deal of pain, those who suffer them feel as if “toughing it out” without treatment is a workable option.

Dental implants have transformed smiles, restoring function and esthetics for countless patients.
