For sure! Feel free to DM.
I’d love to accept it but I’m in a fairly small town and a lot of my patients are older so there’s still a decent barrier there. I still get paid by physical cheque sometimes haha!

Ever been told by your dentist you GRIND your teeth? Read on…
Signs of grinding show up gradually on your teeth in the form of loss of tooth enamel.
Your teeth become shorter as you age. So what?
In all honesty and it might sound odd coming from a dentist, BUT we don’t really need our own teeth to live long lives. So many of our grandparents lived into their 90s having worn dentures since they were in their 20s.
Grinding though is a sign of bigger trouble with our systemic health. Here’s the biggest reason why:
SLEEP 💤😴🛌
it can be a sign that you’re not getting quality air (and quality sleep) through your nose when you’re sleeping. The body has to compensate. It pushes the lower jaw forward to in order to open up our airway to get more air in. Guess what’s in the way? Teeth! This is happening numerous times while you’re sleeping and over time you start to see the damage to the teeth. The solution to fixing the grinding and more importantly the sleep lies in fixing the cause (and generally not one of those biteguards you likely won’t wear at night lol). Getting a sleep study done and seeing a sleep physician is a great place to start.
This is a discussion I have with my patients on a daily basis. As a dentist, I would stand to benefit more financially by prescribing you that biteguard because the insurance company will pay for it and the broken money incentives are aligned that way. But this is NOT what is the best health/preventive outcome for the patient. The incentives for healthcare need to change!
Let me know if you found this valuable in any way. I’ll try to get on here and post as much as I can if people find this stuff interesting/valuable. I have some thoughts on health insurance.

The trouble with teeth is that cavities don’t hurt until the bacteria is close to/into the nerve. The nerve will try to protect itself but eventually it gets overrun by the bacteria and pain/infection develops. In saying that, some of the early cavities are reversible with good oral hygiene. There is definitely a conflict of interest though. Our weak money creates an incentive where the dentist or physician is incentivized to treat disease more than we are incentivized to prevent it!
