Yo, this is Pete, Jen’s brother.  I have never blogged before but my bossy Biting big sis is making me.  Here is what I say about this whole green thing:

Our dental office is considered more "green" than most.  At my sister’s insistence, we opted to have bamboo flooring instead of hardwoods, digital x-rays and photographs instead of chemical developing, and a paperless office to reduce deforestation.  I have never really been green, per se, and quite honestly I have always chided Jen by calling her ‘treehugger’ – but guess what?  This green thing is actually cool.  Patients like the atmosphere here, and I feel better about spending most of my days in doors. 

We actually took the idea of “green” to the next level, so it could mean “lush” – and so developed spa-like features with the help of a fung shui consultant (yes, this too at my sister’s insistence). 

Business is pretty healthy already, in all senses of the word.  If you are in the Atlanta area drop by and we will give you a free teeth whitening if you become a new client.  Just say, “the Biters sent me” - and you will the spa treatment while getting your choppers whitened with non-chem, state of the art procedures.   (You can see the office photos and location, here:  http://www.AtlantaDentalSpa.com.)

Off to replace more mercury fillings from my patients’ mouths...

I have a random question about fillings, I definitely don't want to put mercury into my mouth at this point, but am not thrilled about the prospect of plastic, either. My dentist said he would charge me $800 for a gold filling! what's the best all around option?
Amie, In my practice, I replace a lot of old silver fillings with porcelain inlays. You ask me what the "best" is? It depends what you are looking for as the best. The best aesthetic and bio-compatibility are porcelain inlays. I have them in my mouth. We have the longest research in dentistry about gold. Gold is very inert metal and when placed correctly, you could have that gold filling the rest of your life without replacement. Unfortunately, people still object to the aesthetic of gold in my practice. Both porcelain and gold are great options though.

I understand that half the children currently reaching the age of eighteen in the U.S. have never had a cavity; quite an accomplishment and yet much fertile ground for improved dental hygiene. As a child I saw hundreds of TV commercials for pre-sweetened cereal, sugary soft-drinks and candy . What I did not see was even one presentation on correct brushing and flossing and the consequences of not brushing and flossing. Not a single one minute commercial, perhaps by a toothbrush or toothpaste manufacturer, on the correct way to maintain my teeth. http://www.deltadentalins.com/health/brushing.html
i think it's great to let folks know about toothbrushes that can be recycled-i'm forever striving to reduce the garbage that leaves my house. however i think what's even better is a toothbrush with a replaceable head. two companies that i know of Fuchs (it means fox in gernam) and EcoDent make such products. why not keep using the handle over and over for years and just pop in a new head?! this saves energy and materials that would be needed to recycle the old handle and to make a new one. just my 2 cents.
Hi, I need an advice, please! Do you think teeth whitening strips like those on http://www.teethus.com/ really work? I was looking for a simple method to get white teeth and dental strips seem the be the perfect solution. Any help is much appreciated!
