I have been working for two years and have finally published a book.
It is called, "Insider's guide to gum disease, orthodontics and
dentistry. What is not taught in dental school"

It is available on iuniverse.com and very soon will be available on
amazon.com. It is available in hardcover and paperback.

Why did I write this book?

4 years ago, I was an expert witness where I represented a dentist who
was being sued by a patient, who happened to be a chiropractor.

I felt the dentist being sued did everything by the book(not my
book). Dental education focus is on doing, i.e. fillings, cutting,
implants, crowns, root canals.

The problem was (1) occlusion and (2) patient's health.

Root canals, gum treatment, crown and bridge will fail unless the
patient has good occlusion and good health.

I wrote the book for patients and dentists. I self published it.

Just over a year ago I had a letter published in JADA, Jan 2007,
but I was concerned that some of my dental colleagues couldn't
understand the letter or the reply to it.

Maybe this book will help.

patient has good occlusion

It often is not just the occlusion, but what the patient does with it.

People are can abuse their bodies by smoking, they can abuse their
teeth by chewing on lobster shells, but if you buy a car, you expect
your tires to be properly inflated and aligned. You may take that car
on bumpy roads, but you still want tires to last and for the car to
travel well.

Patients need to understand that a $30K rebuild is not going to solve
their 'driving habits' and will not last as long as one would
like if the abuse remains.

My first priority is to try and limit the continued damage from
parafunction. Then the restorative decisions can be dealt with.

Parafunction is sort of like driving my 1960 Triumph with 4 inch wide tires
mounted on 48 spoke wire wheels down a mountain fire trail. I does not
matter how fresh the tires and wheels are, something is going to fail.
