An informal discussion of dental treatments, techniques, problems and solutions with Dr. Joseph Valenzi of White Wolf Dental and guests. Dr. Joseph Valenzi joevalenzi@gmail.com Dr. Joseph Valenzi Partial dentures are the unloved stepchild of dentistry. Patients often have problems with them and dentists dislike them. Yet they are made by the thousands every day. http://www.whitewolfdental.com/wp-content/media/TTTD024.mp3 Fri, 21 May 2010 19:00:00 GMT 18:41 dentist, white wolf dental, joseph valenzi Dr. Joseph Valenzi If you've been away from the dentist for a while, you know how dental problems can grow. When you do get in for an exam, you may be presented with a treatment plan that is overwhelming - financially, clinically or emotionally. http://www.whitewolfdental.com/wp-content/media/TTTD025.mp3 Fri, 04 Jun 2010 19:00:00 GMT 21:22 dentist, white wolf dental, joseph valenzi Dr. Joseph Valenzi No one wants unnecessary x-rays. It is good practice to take them only as often as necessary. But how often is that? And why are so many being taken if you have no pain or other problems? Is this just a way for the dentist to charge more? http://www.whitewolfdental.com/wp-content/media/TTTD026.mp3 Sun, 13 Jun 2010 19:00:00 GMT 24:35 dentist, white wolf dental, joseph valenzi Dr. Joseph Valenzi Going to another country to get dental or medical procedures done is becoming less rare. There are certainly many advertisement on the web about places where you can get dental implants, for example, and stay at a nice hotel all for a very low cost. http://www.whitewolfdental.com/wp-content/media/TTTD027.mp3 Mon, 21 Jun 2010 19:00:00 GMT 25:07 dentist, white wolf dental, joseph valenzi Dr. Joseph Valenzi Gum disease is perhaps the most common human disease. It can increase your risks of stroke and heart disease as well as disfigure your smile and cause you pain. And while treatment of gum disease can be successful, recurrence is a real problem, and even with success, teeth are left in a weakened state because of the bone loss. http://www.whitewolfdental.com/wp-content/media/TTTD028.mp3 Sat, 03 Jul 2010 19:00:00 GMT 38:53 dentist, white wolf dental, joseph valenzi Dr. Joseph Valenzi Well it's summer and we are all traveling around far from home and our dentists. Isn't that always when something happens? http://www.whitewolfdental.com/wp-content/media/TTTD029.mp3 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 19:00:00 GMT 22:02 dentist, white wolf dental, joseph valenzi Dr. Joseph Valenzi The American Dental Association held their annual conference in October. I went and got a lot of new information, ideas and of course new technology! http://www.whitewolfdental.com/wp-content/media/TTTD030.mp3 Sun, 02 Jan 2011 19:00:00 GMT 24:08 dentist, white wolf dental, joseph valenzi Dr. Joseph Valenzi Mini implants have been around for a long time. But it is only recently that they have had good clinical data to back up what users have known for a long time - that they are a much less invasive, easier and less expensive way to stabilize loose dentures. http://www.whitewolfdental.com/wp-content/media/TTTD031.mp3 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 19:00:00 GMT 24:32 dentist, white wolf dental, joseph valenzi Dr. Joseph Valenzi We talked last episode about how mini implants have changed life for denture wearers. The change has been just as great, maybe even more so for people who want to replace missing teeth with non-removable crowns and bridges. http://www.whitewolfdental.com/wp-content/media/TTTD032.mp3 Sun, 23 Jan 2011 19:00:00 GMT 25:35 dentist, white wolf dental, joseph valenzi Dr. Joseph Valenzi You've heard me talk for the last year or so about many things I've learned and want you to know about. How about what YOU have taught ME! These were hard won lessons, but I've at least gotten these five down pat! http://www.whitewolfdental.com/wp-content/media/TTTD033.mp3 Thu, 03 Feb 2011 19:00:00 GMT 25:27 dentist, white wolf dental, joseph valenzi Dr. Joseph Valenzi I had an interesting new patient last week who reminded me of the importance of your gut feeling when planning treatment with your healthcare provider, as well as the importance of second opinions. http://www.whitewolfdental.com/wp-content/media/TTTD034.mp3 Thu, 17 Feb 2011 19:00:00 GMT 23:26 dentist, white wolf dental, joseph valenzi Dr. Joseph Valenzi I just attended a lecture on a new technique in making implant supported dentures. It was very elegant and hi-tech, but it got me thinking about what is really in our patients best interest. http://www.whitewolfdental.com/wp-content/media/TTTD035.mp3 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 19:00:00 GMT 20:18 dentist, white wolf dental, joseph valenzi Dr. Joseph Valenzi We just returned from a three day intense course on Oral Sedation. Even though I've been using oral sedation for 15 years, and have had lots of other training, this course was excellent and will help us improve the experience for our patients! http://www.whitewolfdental.com/wp-content/media/TTTD036.mp3 Mon, 03 Oct 2011 19:00:00 GMT 22:48 dentist, white wolf dental, joseph valenzi Dr. Joseph Valenzi This is a problem I thought I would never see. Dental offices are closing. Dentists retire and cannot find a replacement, they are bought out by other groups and the original office closes, and finally they can just go bankrupt (just like the big companies)! http://www.whitewolfdental.com/wp-content/media/TTTD037.mp3 Sat, 08 Oct 2011 19:00:00 GMT 19:05 dentist, white wolf dental, joseph valenzi Dr. Joseph Valenzi So this is the recording of my first live radio show. Recorded on WROD AM 1340 on September 28 2011, it is a weekly call in show. I've edited out the music and commercials. The sound quality is not great, but we had a few callers talking about Cavalier King Charles Spaniels (I've got one too!), sedation and charity dentistry! I think it was fun! http://www.whitewolfdental.com/wp-content/media/TTTD038.mp3 Fri, 14 Oct 2011 19:00:00 GMT 39:34 dentist, white wolf dental, joseph valenzi
