You know, I heard a doctor on the radio last week talking about a study which revealed that supplementing with antioxidants is actually harmful, because it thwarts the body's own ability to produce them.  I thought that was kind of strange, but after thinking more on it, I concluded that if that was true, then there would be no sense in eating a whole list of certain foods such as berries, because they would be harmful to your health for the same reason.  So, I suppose that blueberries, for instance, are to be avoided according to this line of thinking.  Call me crazy, but I ain't falling for it.  I'm eating my fresh berries - and other good foods - when I can get them.  When I can't, I've got my Greens and my Reds.

Q  Dear Tom,
 

================================================

A  Unfortunately, I have no list of dentists, 'sympathetic' or otherwise.

Interesting, however, that the dentist, labeled as a 'biological dentist,' doesn't hold much hope for you in the end (dentures)...  You would think that the trendy title would imply such a thing as what Dr. Nara promoted in saving the teeth, wouldn't you?

Dr. Nara promoted a specific methodology and mindset which he felt was required for optimal oral health and the hope for recovering from the effects of neglect.

Many people will study Dr. Nara's work with an observant eye and a mind geared toward conceptual thinking and understanding, which is really the necessary key for the successful application of this workable methodology.  ("Teach a man to fish...")

On the other hand, those who are looking for a quick-fix or having their hands held by someone the entire time may as well reconcile to investing their time and money with the dental office - no matter what the title; General Dentist, Biological, Holistic, 'Preventive,' etc.  This type of person will simply fail at attempts to prevent and heal on their own, simply because, though they agree with the concept, it really isn't a priority with them.  Sadly, this is becoming more and more commonplace with the contemporary expectation of entitlement and/or the transference of one's own responsibilities to others.  Younger people may feel that they can afford to put it aside for the time being, while we older folks tend to have a better understanding of time and have a little more respect for it.

I don't mean to imply that there is no place for the tooth mechanic.  Many people don't come across Dr. Nara's work until they have let their conditions worsen to the point where repair work is the only hope in getting their teeth and gums back to a certain degree of health.  Again, sadly, this is very often the case.  At that point, however, the job may actually be able to be handed back over to the individual for personal maintenance and damage prevention.  If the individual knows and understands these workable concepts and is seriously willing to take action, then success is certainly possible.  However, let's not be so naive to think we can fix a broken leg by laying back and taking minerals...  At that point, which would be considered an emergency, the patient needs to get to the doctor, who will set it and place it in a cast (repair).  That's common sense.  Pain can be an excellent motivator for taking action.  But sometimes pain doesn't show up until late in the game.

So, getting back to your question...  No, I do not have a list - and if I did, I would very likely be doing you a disservice by providing one, without also offering, and promoting the virtues of a viable alternative - a new way of looking at your oral health.

Thank you for writing,
Tom
