Dental Treatment: A Conversation with a Dentist

Have you ever thought about what goes into the process of your teeth getting cleaned? How often do you get checked by a dentist? What methods do dentists use? Do they use drills or lasers? The general public is drawn to dentistry when their teeth are hurting or something seems off, but many people don't know any of this information.

This is an interview between Dr. Mark Young, a dentist from Family Dental Care of Boise, and a reporter from the Statesman. This Q&A gives information for individuals who don't know much about dental care.

Overall, this is a very informative article that can potentially change the perception of dental health in our society. I hope that in the future we can make our society healthier by more people caring about their teeth as opposed to feeling lucky if they get them cleaned once a year.

The article itself does not put any emphasis on the media's role in dental health care, but it does mention that the media has played an important role in promoting healthy oral habits in the public. Dr. Young says, "We used to have a program for grade school kids called TV Turnoff Week. A lot of dentists were involved in that." This is the first hint of the media's role in dental care. The TV Turnoff Week is an initiative that was created by the American Academy of Pediatrics in order to educate and raise awareness about the dangers to children who watch too much television. More so, this article shows that there are resources out there for people who want to learn more about their oral health, but we need people to understand how important they are and take advantage of them.

This article makes you question why our society does not place enough importance on teeth as opposed to other body parts such as skin or hair. Young says, "I think over the years there's been a change in mentality. You know, it's like we've become more of a cosmetic people with body image these days. You know, we're all thinking about our looks." This statement by Dr. Young is very true, especially when you consider that everyone is obsessed with looks and how people look at them. We place less importance on things that are inside ourselves and care more about outer appearances than what really matters to us.

This article is based on a Q&A interview between Dr. Mark Young and reporter Chad Peterson from the Statesman in which they go over dental care standards in Boise, Idaho as well as concerns about dental health issues such as tooth decay and oral disease.

The article itself is very informational and can teach people about the role of dentistry in our society. The Q&A interviews are interesting because they allow Dr. Young to guide Peterson through the basics of dental health and explain different aspects and concerns. The most interesting question that he asks is about the differences between drills and lasers, to which Dr. Young answers, "With lasers, we use them for things like cleaning out pockets or polishing teeth." This shows how efficient today's technology has become, yet most people don't utilize it to their advantage.

Overall, this article is very beneficial to readers. It gives insight into the process of dental care, educates readers on the issues that they themselves may not know about, and shows the general public how important it is to take care of your teeth. This article can potentially change what people think about dental health and have an influence in making people more aware of their need for dental care as well as make them more knowledgeable about their own oral health.

The article itself does not directly make any implications about the media's role in dental health, but it is obvious that it plays a large role in our society. Its influence on individuals is vital, especially when you consider how much time people spend watching television. It's important to teach children about their oral hygiene at a young age and help them understand the importance of taking care of their teeth. Parents would be able to do so if they had access to more information, but many do not have the means to do so.

The article mentions how "About 90 percent of Americans have dental insurance, and the other 10 percent pay out of pocket." This means that there are different resources for people who want to learn more about dental health as well as get a check-up. It's just a matter of an individual going out and getting the information that they need.
