I once knew a young man that was famous throughout the city for his good looks. He was tall, athletic, had striking blue eyes, and a head full of curly golden hair. But most stunning of all was his pearly white teeth. He could make girls stop dead in their tracks with a simple look, but they would swoon without fail at the flash of a smile.
Envious friends would ask what he did to get such perfect white teeth, but he never answered. Was it whitening strips? Did he have professional work done by the dentist in Cottonwood Heights? Was it a secret mouth wash or tooth paste? Or was it just the luck of the genetic draw, like the rest of his handsome features? They had to know. But he would only smile, making them ever more envious.
Dentists do all they can to reverse this effect. They give kids free stickers, toys, and even candy. They put nice pictures on the walls and paint the office in comforting colors. They play nice music and provide more magazines than any other office on earth. The workers are friendly and gentle and they let you pick your own color of toothbrush when you leave. For people with healthy teeth, the dentist's office really is a pleasant place to be. If not pleasant, it's at least not negative.
But for those poor unfortunate souls that do have painful dentist experiences, lasers are stepping in once again to make something mundane, negative, and old school turn into something hip, cool, and cutting-edge. Here are some of the ways lasers are used in dentistry that makes a trip to the dentist's office much more comfortable.
He switched out his toothbrush every three months. He used mouthwash strengthened with fluoride every day. He avoided drinking coffee, beer, sugary, and carbonated drinks. He rarely ate sticky sweets. Then he stopped.
Similarly related to functionality is health. First of all, misaligned teeth can cause jaw problems for many people. Especially overbites, underbites, and crossbites can lead to jaw pain, difficulty chewing, difficulty speaking, and even difficulty breathing at night. If you suffer from any of these health issues, consult your Draper dentist to see if your teeth could be the culprit. From there, you can decide whether or not to get braces.
I sat deep in thought. Good oral hygiene on a daily basis. Brushing, flossing, mouthwash, right foods... We'd all heard that before. But perhaps here, sitting beside me was the only man around who actually abided by the dentists' rules consistently.
I had one more question. Why the secrecy? He turned and smiled. My heart skipped a beat. "My power lies in mystery. I enjoy keeping people on their toes. And I think they rather enjoy it. Don't you regret the loss of mystery and wonderment now that I've told you?" I did. It was true. But I found consolation in sharing in his secret. From then on, I understood the enjoyment he got out of making everybody wonder. And there was no harm in the secret. After all, the answer was no secret.
