Implant Provisional – using the original tooth
Several months ago (April 2011), a long-time patient had tooth #8 blow up. The patient is a 80 y.o. male. It was a perio-endo lesion (with root resorption evident), and we decided extraction and replacement with an implant would be … Continue reading
Should You Register the “.XXX” (Porno) Domain?
.XXX Marks The DDS Spot I recently got an email from a certain website design company that caters to heath care practitioners. It rhymes with “Sage Fun.” I’m sure the email is well-intended, albeit self-serving (nothing wrong with that, really). … Continue reading

Sorry… I went to Maine for a week.
Back in Steve Martin’s stand-up heyday, if he spaced out momentarily, he would say, “Sorry… I went to the Bahamas for a moment.” So, I borrowed from Martin to explain my brief absence on my blog. Tonight is the last … Continue reading
Vestigial Organs – by I.P. Freely
Strap in… going to be a long one. If you’re sensitive to coarse language or graphic descriptions of medical procedures, you may want to stick to my dental articles. This story will make you cringe, at least. 🙂 But, it … Continue reading

We’re From the Government. We’re Here to Help.
The state of Florida has a problem. So-called “pain clinics” have sprouted up like weeds around here. Apparently, they are little more than drug dealers with an M.D. behind their names. Anyone can go in and say, “I’m in pain” … Continue reading

Proud to be Independent on Independence Day!
I’m watching TV after lighting off some fireworks with my kids. My neighbors all around put on a heck of a show! Professional grade stuff. Looked like Baghdad at the start of Desert Storm! 🙂 Tonight there are two “specials,” … Continue reading
