What is a Crown Lengthening Procedure?
The Perio Patient Podcast
Your dentist tells you that you need a crown lengthening procedure. Let me try to explain what this is and why you might need one. Also we will get into the question about how long should people brush their teeth? The answer will be a little deeper than the rote answers often given.

92 -- The Appointment Manager
The Perio Patient Podcast
The patient is the Appointment Manager and makes decisions for their health care as well as that of the children under their care. I respect expertise but it cannot be used to pressure people to do things they do not feel comfortable doing. Are there exceptions? Sure. There are exceptions to everything it seems, but we are discussing the big picture in this podcast.

91 -- On Gratitude
The Perio Patient Podcast
Grateful people have learned to give their ego’s a rest. Gratitude and humility go together. Anyone who bristles at the idea of humility and believes it to be a sign of weakness has trouble with true gratitude to others. Sure, we can all learn to thank people as a social behavior, but it will not warm us inside in the same way sincere gratefulness always does. Finally, it takes true courage to admit a need. And we cannot admit needs without humility. And humility is needed to have true gratitude.
