Dental hygienists remove soft and hard deposits from teeth, teach patients how to practice good oral hygiene, and provide other preventive dental care.
By Anonymous September 22, 2004 -- Have you ever seen a person with missing teeth or with teeth of any other color than pure white? What did you think of his/her appearance? You could face a similar situation if you did not have a dental insurance or a proper dental care plan. Remember, keeping your teeth healthy is important for your looks and image.
More importantly, according to the first-ever Surgeon General's Report on Oral Health in America published in 2000, poor care of your mouth and teeth can affect your general health and well-being throughout your life. Although many would prefer to take the observation casually, this is something everyone needs to face up to even if it means reducing or giving up some of your favorite pass times like use of tobacco and consumption of alcohol or switching over to better dietary habits.
Significantly, everyone recognizes the need for medical insurances to ensure access to good health care, but too often good dental care is neglected because of the lack of dental insurance. Many people overlook, or just cannot afford, regular check-ups and early treatments. However, if you wait until a dental problem is serious; it's bound to cost you more both in terms of dollars and your oral health. Don't be one of them who have learnt it the hard way that a hole in the tooth can put a bigger hole in the wallet.
We all are aware of the fact that dental insurance provides us with an effective way to manage the rising costs of dental care, and removes many of the excuses we all come up with for why not to see a dentist. Most of us also know that dental plans usually cover a wide range of services, including preventive care, emergency care, and procedures such as crowns, root canals, bridge prosthetic, orthodontics, oral surgery, and more. However, what most people are still ignorant about is discount dental plans.
Discount dental plans that are being offered by some of the companies across the world are being considered as a viable alternative to dental indemnity policies. These companies have thousands of listed dentists and offer a wide range of services, including dental treatment, insurance and even forethought on issues related to teeth problems at affordable prices in most cities and towns. Once you enroll as a member of any of these plans, you are entitled to all kinds of dental consultancy and treatment from the listed dentists for a period of time at a discounted cost. If you are a member of such a dental plan, it is likely that you will see the dentist sooner upon discovering some tooth pain, which can end up saving you a lot of pain and money in the long run.
So why wait till you really wither owing to tooth ache? Friends don't let friends loose their teeth and get ugly, so make sure you and everybody you care about gets a proper discount dental plan before it's too late! Log on to Dental-Plans-America.com.

“Whistle Stop Dentist”
On the Ontario C.P.R. Dental Car
1931-1935
By David C. Brownlow
ISBN 0-9730932-O-X
$29.95
The book is a hotbed of historical information and references of notable importance. David C. Brownlow shares excerpts from Ralph Brownlow’s (the author’s father) letters and accounts of the comings and goings of the Dental Car. Often humourous and lighthearted, we are welcomed into this historical world.
Absolutely wonderful photos mark phases in their exciting journey, and letters, insights and remembrances are shared by Violet (the author’s mother, wife of Ralph Brownlow) and some of the nurses who shared time on the Car.
The story includes mention of many interesting people and references to memorable historical moments many people may find interesting. Including references to the Great Depression, when the Monopoly game was first invented and the opening of the very first Drive-In Theatre.
It was a life of great adventure and one that is full of intrigue. A must read for the history buff, a truly excellent read for the rest of us.
