lundi 9 February 2009

Dear colleague,

I have just finished your book, which I devoured (Your Teeth, a Doorway to Health). As my story echoes yours!

Indeed, after a few years of general practice, I trained in orthodontics and quickly found it aberrant to extract healthy teeth to align the others. It was necessary to find solutions to avoid this.

I then became interested in early treatments (primary teeth) as well as the Damon low-friction system (osseous expansion). Additionally, it seemed obvious to me that we needed to understand why a mouth doesn't function properly rather than rushing to choose an appliance (how to do it). Thus, the screening for functional disorders seemed obvious, and I introduced flexible positioners (Orthoplus) into my practice.

Moreover, I observe that Class II2 patients are closed and mentally, prognathic individuals are generally nice and dreamy. A child with perfectly aligned teeth is certainly a child who is well in his skin. This young woman I see every six months for scaling, not caries, who suddenly reports three cavities after her mother's death. The teenager I can't extract tooth 35, who finally agrees to turn when the child goes to boarding school, etc...

But I can only observe things in the mouth, but I don't speak this language... Will dentosophy teach me this?

I missed this year's training cycle. So, until next year, could you indicate to me practitioners who practice dentosophy near my location so I can contact them?

In the meantime, dear colleague, please accept my best regards.

PS I followed a training in etiomedicine and found many points in common with dentosophy in your book. Do you know this emotional support therapy?
