Comment on Onpharma’s Onset by Donald Urquhart

So, if I’m understanding this right, basically it’s an additive to the usual anesthesia that you use to make the experience better. It reduces the acidity of the shot and helps the active ingredients take effect much quicker, am I right? It sounds wonderful if that’s what it is, though I’ve always had lidocaine rubbed on my gums first and then the injection slowly started up and I’ve never had a problem with it. Most of the time I wasn’t even aware that they had started the injection, and I’ve had to have a full root canal and four impacted wisdom teeth pulled. Still, if it helps people get the dental surgery they need, I’m all for it.

Comment on To juice or papoose is the question by Donald Urquhart

This is a really hot button issue for a lot of people, as I'm sure you already knew. However, it would seem to me that in many cases, the papoose board would be a preferable thing to general anesthesia for a child who may or may not come back up. In any case, I think that it's a choice that needs to be made on a case by case basis, with sedation and local anesthesia used in conjunction with the papoose board to create a safe, sane situation for everyone involved. If the child needs the procedure and general anesthesia is too dangerous, then a papoose board is obviously a good choice. However, if the dental situation is not an emergency, then I think that waiting till the child is old enough to not need the papoose board should also be looked at as a viable option.

You can add a whole host of toxins that can be traced back to dentists.

Fluoridation chemicals (silicofluorides) are derived from the smokestacks of phosphate fertilizer industry and are allowed to contain many toxins that are never removed.

NSF International is a private company that regulates public water supply additives. February 2008 NSF reported they tested only 245 batches of fluoridation chemicals from 2000 to 2006 which received their “seal of approval” (There are approximately 155,000 US public water supplies and 70% are fluoridated.) They found lead in 2% of the samples and 43% had arsenic. Lead and arsenic are contaminants allowed in fluoridation chemicals, as they are poured into your drinking water supply, along with antimony, arsenic, barium, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, copper, mercury, selenium, and thallium.

Onpharma is currently estimating the cost to be 5 to 7 dollars per injection. Thanks for asking!

UPDATE: We just realized that the price of DentalEars has been reduced to $695, which definitely brings this into the value arena. They probably wouldn’t be a bad idea to wear to arena concerts, too.

I have some heart issues and my Doctor recommended that I not use drugs. I first tried the Tens unit at my dentists and the company had a rep for the unit there calabrating and training on the machine. The tens unit was so painfull that you would rather have your teeth pulled. OUCH My next visit the dentist had the gumease units. i am very sensitive to cold but suprisingly they didn’t cause any discomfort. The dentist used three of the gumease thing on me and started to work. I could tell that he was working on me but no pain. He did three cavities and a root canal in different parts of my mouth.NO PAIN. I love them and will never go back to needles or the stupid tens machine.
