"This web site is dedicated to educating
the public about ALL dental care options"
the public about ALL dental care options"
In reality, healthcare is not as straight forward and simple as it is practiced. In the
quest to be standardized, the healthcare professions have focused on symptoms
and classifying illness into neat categories and codes that insurance and
government computers can recognize. Then, if a person's health problems do not
"fit" into the current system, the person is either told "it is all in their head" or that
nothing else can be done for them. This is neither helpful nor comforting.
Be aware that ALL options are NOT being offered to you because they are not
taught, known, or valued. However, all of these options have helped some people!
Obviously, there is no one treatment that helps everyone. The reason is human
variability. So, who decides what treatment to try? Traditionally it is the doctor. It is
time to understand that both the doctor and patient should be actively involved, but
that the patient ultimately makes the decision based on benefits and risks. This
legal concept is called "INFORMED CONSENT". Getting all the information
necessary to make an appropriate decision is not easy. Our goal is to make it a bit
easier for you in regards to dental care.
Our pet peeve is that health professionals spend time and energy arguing about
who is right or wrong! Our logic says that nobody is completely right and nobody is
absolutely wrong because it is all a matter of perspective. So why argue about what
science or observations somebody else considers valid? There will always be
differences of opinion, but remember that everyone is concerned about the same
thing, i.e. health (regardless of how that is defined). One responsibility that health
professionals should improve upon is recognizing and treating the unwanted
SIDE EFFECTS of dental treatment, whether conventional or holistic, whether
frequent or infrequent, without the need to assign blame.
Let us know what you think, and how we can improve this web site to help you.
Sincerely,
RONALD L. KING, D.D.S. & GIANG T. PHAM, D.D.S.

"To be healthy, wealthy, happy and successful in any and all
areas of your life, you need to be aware that you need to think
healthy, wealthy, happy and successful thoughts twenty four
hours a day . . . and cancel all negative, destructive, fearful and
unhappy thoughts. These two types of thought cannot coexist if
you want to share in the abundance that surrounds us all."
