https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machiavellianism_(psychology)

This is dentistry as a profession. This is dental advertising in a nutshell = Machiavellian. If "doctor" means "to teach", then we have spent the last 10-15 years of not only teaching the public but convincing the public to not brush their teeth. We are not real doctors. Dentistry thrives on "The Dark Triangle". The message: give up on yourself and become dependent on us. We've elevated ourselves to a "god-like" status. But the difference between God and a "doctor"? Well, God never thought he was a doctor.

Patient's have been convinced 1. their teeth dont look good enough.......the cosmetic dental push.....the tooth whitening push 2. the fake tooth aka dental implant is better than the real tooth.

With all the said.....all the dentists that created this environment are quitting in droves leaving the real needs of patients un met.

Patients. All your care is in your hands. It is in your dedication to focus on your brushing habits. Thorough.....NOT HARD.....brushing is the answer. Floss. Waterpik! Take the time! You'll save yourself all the money and angst of going to the dentist.

In the field of personality psychology, Machiavellianism is a personality trait characterized by interpersonal manipulation, indifference to morality, lack of empathy, and a strategic focus on self-interest.[3][4][5][6] Psychologists Richard Christie and Florence Geis named the trait after Niccolò ...

Our understanding of internal dental anatomy has remained limited by our inability to see inside a tooth without sectioning it. However, for one dentist working to find a way to see inside a tooth, the answer was diaphanization. This atlas represents the breath-taking results of photographing human....

Well, they shared it without notifying me. .....

But there you have it: The cover image for the macro-histologic book of images that I have compiled and is currently in the process for publication.

Effective Date : January 4 2019

The title is: A Histologic Gallery of Human Dental Vascularity and Innervation

Addendum/edit: People keep seeing the art in these and that is much appreciated. I see it as well. But recall that I have three very focused objectives here. 1. To keep the focus on human anatomy. 2. know that all of these are from a human body and those parts need to be respected in all capacities at all times. We/I cannot and did not get an informed consent for use for art. I got it for use as science. Therefore these came from someone and if there should be profit, then that person as an individual should profit not some artist. I feel it is disrespectful to hang these on a wall 3. I want us to look forward in to the future of dentistry and where we are vs where we need to be. Noting of course that the root canal essentially obliterates this beautiful structure that God made. Rather than rip it out, i think we need to work with it in a better fashion that dentistry is currently doing. It is my objective in this game (although i love them and do them at a very high level) to eliminate the "root canal" as a dental procedure. So here and now and as much as I will state time and time again.

These shall not be used as art.

There is nothing like these displays of internal anatomy of human teeth ever before in dentistry. This is 18 years of pure LOVE of labor on my part. I have NEVER worked a day of my life on this project. The last 2 years of the project have been nothing shy of simply describing it as one miracle after another.

I have poured more hours in to this than anyone knows or even can calculate simply out of curiosity and amazement. It is my belief that this book will change dentistry as we know it. I have over 70 images and results that are comparable to what you are seeing here.

Here in this image you are seeing the vascular distribution inside the chamber of a lower first molar of an approximate 55 year old individual. The tooth was extracted and stored outside the mouth for over 2 weeks by a process that I created. After that I took the extracted tooth through a series of chemicals to expose the vascularity that you are seeing through yet another process I created. In final, you are looking at picture #503 of a photographic method I created to specifically photograph these results under a microscope.

It has been said that if you took all the blood vessels inside the human body and lined them up that they would wrap around the earth approximately 7 times. It's my debate that they would stretch 20 times.......and that is because we never knew how many blood vessels were actually inside a tooth.

PS.....i would like a job working on this full time. There is an immense amount of discovery still to be done. Someone put in a good word for me to help me find funding.

When was the last time you saw the vascular distribution within the pulp chamber of a tooth? Yeah, it’s breathtaking.

.....this is where we are at.......

I'm still at the office and will be on a daily basis if anyone needs anything or has questions etc.

If you need "home remedies" for dental occurrences, post them here and i'll give ya what i got in terms of guidance.

I am extremely proud of my staff. Freakin WARRIORS!

Patients, you'll want to routinely check on all the doctors you work with.

This is money the doctor received from companies for various reasons. You should check in to the whats, where's, why's and how's regarding any money a doctor receives from a company.

This money attached to my name was turned in by an upset company rep............

it truly cannot be said any better. shared with permission:

“Your relationship with your patients and referrals protects you from the onslaught of junk science and the bad actors in our own specialty who create their own junk science that competes with appropriate care. "Root Cause" is one of many battles I have to fight every day to protect the integrity of my practice. It's somewhat amusing to me that everyone is so worked up about this salvo tossed at us while we are being carpet bombed by corporate dentistry, insurance companies, and those who sell-out as traitors amongst our own ranks.

My defense is the quality of treatment I perform and the communication and education I provide my patients, referring dentists, and colleagues, every single day of my life. The weakest threat to my practice philosophy is a group of nut jobs who make a crappy outlier documentary. The biggest threat to my practice are the aforementioned groups who deceptively promote their agendas with intellectual dishonesty. The last thing I need are those trashing the future of my practice pretending they are defending me and coercing me to join them. Personally, I am building a moat and reinforcing the concrete wall around my professional space with the mortar of trust. Enemies can fire flaming arrows all they want but they will fall short and burn out.

Only two patients and two referrals have asked me about "Root Cause", only one guy seemed to question whether it was true and then didn't seem to believe it once I explained it to him.

The validation you provide your referrals and patients with recalled successful treatments, gives you great credibility beyond the cliche' political statement, "trust me". “

i co-wrote a chapter in this amazing book.

"oh my gosh look at that curved root!"......ie: it must contain complex internal anatomy

FALSE!!!!.........FALSE!!!

EXTERNAL ROOT MORPHOLOGY SAYS NOTHING ABOUT THE INTERNAL ANATOMY OF THE ROOT. In reality i actually want a curved root because at least i can assume the canal system is curved plus what ever else mother nature can come up with.

lower second premolar here.........

let that soak in......because this is not an unusual finding when it comes to internal anatomy of human teeth.
