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.

One of the greatest assessments we use to measure “a life well lived” comes from the question “what would people want to say on your epitaph?” Would they say you were kind to others? That you were respectful and generous with your time? That you displayed empathy to others? Would they say you truly lived a life of no regret? We are likely all familiar with the expression that nobody ever finds themselves leaving this world wishing they had spent more time at work.

Fluoride has been in the news lately and not in a good way. Dentistry has praised the ability of fluoride to reduce tooth decay- but it has come at a very high cost for our society. And, many people in government and in groups we have put our trust have turned a blind eye to the damages fluoride has wrought in the brain as well as throughout the entire body.

There is agreement between endodontists and periodontists that endodontic pathology can cause periodontal pathology. When the pressures from a dental abscess increase, the purulent exudate will follow the path of least resistance. If this path is through the periodontal ligament, a sinus tract can develop through the sulcus, resulting in a deep periodontal pocket.
