Dental Analogy
Can EXPLORATION or Listening Cure Your Cavity?
- Do you want your dentist to try to cure your cavity by just talking to you about your cavity?
- Do you want your dentist to help you explore all of your feelings that contribute to or cause your cavities?
- Do you want your dentist to explore all the “causes” for not taking better care of your teeth or your eating sugar?
- Do you want your dentist to explore your family’s history of cavities or the generational pattern of cavities in your family tree?
- Do you want your dentist to explore how you were trained to brush your teeth and what went wrong with your early oral hygiene training?
- Will any amount of exploration about the problem of your cavity ever cure or fix your cavity?
- Will your dentist try to make you feel better by soothing, comforting, listening, normalizing, or relating to you to fix your cavity?
Dental Analogy: Why Is There a Cavity?
- Do you want your dentist to wait until they know why you have the cavity before they treat it?
- Will knowing why to remove and replace the cavity remove and replace the cavity?
- While knowing “why” may help prevent further cavities, there is no need to know why to recognize, remove, and replace the current cavity.
- Can you ever be sure that you will know the reason for any cavity?
- Was the cavity caused by a lack of fluoride, a poor toothbrush, a bad diet, bad toothpaste, bad water, candy, cookies, desserts, drinking soda pop, eating habits, eating junk food, frequency of your brushing, genetics, how you brush, ice cream, lack of flossing, or putting sugar into your tea or coffee?
- Or was your cavity caused by a combination of all of that and some unknown variables?
