Reddit mentions: The best dentistry books

Thank you so much for your response! Yes, death can indeed be a comforting thought, with the right attitude.

What I’ve been wearing is a “true anterior positioning appliance” that pushes my jaw forward. I don’t actually know for sure how the doc diagnosed whether or not I had an anteriorly displaced disc – there was one time after the clicking and popping had been getting worse that my jaw eventually “dislocated” (doc’s term, not sure on specifics). I was spooked by the cost of an MRI and after my hesitation, he never insisted on one. Though with Ibuprofen and time things seemed to be getting better, he had this (expensive, of course) nighttime appliance made for me that I’ve been wearing ever since, along with a daytime appliance that I don’t wear anymore (can’t remember how long I wore it for- months? Over a year?). I’ve never actually been diagnosed with sleep apnea. Except for a sleepy energy drop in the late afternoon, I don’t exhibit potential symptoms of it. Anatomically there are warning signs (small jaw with oversized tongue, scalloped tongue, more) but again I’ve never been diagnosed. This so-called TMJ specialist had me do a home sleep test seven months after I started wearing the orthotics, and I think I was wearing the orthotic at the time. An “interested party” has since told me that there were problems with the test – for instance, no sleep physician examined the results, only a tech – but in any case, this potentially problematic sleep test did not suggest sleep apnea (though I was wearing the orthotic…). And yet I’ve been wearing this anterior repositioning orthotic for five years. Is this all sketchy? Because it seems sketchy to me. (I also don’t trust my current doc very much because of two rounds of prolotherapy, but that’s another story.)

I see that LVI advocates “physiologic dentistry,” which is often a synonym for neuromuscular dentistry, right? I was looking at Dawson’s recent textbook (on Amazon preview), which suggests that these technologies can be useful if people know what they’re doing and make the right scientific assumptions, which seems sane. But then how does the patient know that the dentist knows what he’s doing with these K-7s and TENS and whatnot?

I’m particularly concerned with the neuromuscular approach because there’s another “TMJ specialist” in my area who apparently trained with Dawson for a few years and specialized in oral surgery for about 20-25 years before shifting towards a neuromuscular approach and treating patients for TMD and sleep apnea for the past 5ish years. The past experience would give me hope that he might know what he’s doing more than the average neuromuscular doc, though your perspective is making me hesitant to go down this path. I don’t mind the thought of wearing a gelb splint for 4-6 weeks – seems less manipulative than this orthotic I’ve been wearing. Perhaps it would reset things to a better place after five years of my jaw jutting forward at night and taking hours for the bite to readjust each day? Have you found gelb splints to be beneficial in the short or long term- and does my reasoning hold any water at all? It’s the thought of phase II, getting my bite adjusted with filing and additions, that freaks me out, even though I’m told it would be minimal. Maybe it creates a perfect bite now, but what about after I’ve aged for another 20 years? I guess it’s like you say- the promise of finding a perfect solution, instead of realizing that TMD is the sort of thing that has to be managed.

Yikes, this is long, and I fully acknowledge that just because I’ve spent hours of my life attempting to research this stuff doesn’t mean I actually understand anything. I’ll look further for people with the Spear affiliation. Thanks for reading.

If you are genuinely curious, I recommend this:

http://www.amazon.com/Class-Through-American-Status-System/dp/0671792253.

It was written in the 80's (by a Harvard PHd if you want cred), so it's a little dated, but still one of the best easily accessable books on the subject. It's a good place to start. He breaks the classes in America down into the following:

Top Out of Sight - The people so wealthy they can afford exclusive levels of privacy. We never hear about them because they don't want us to.

Upper Class - Inherited wealth. Those who don't have to work, but sometimes they go into politics or finance for the prestige value. They refer to tuxes as "dinner jackets."

Upper Middle - Wealthy surgeons and lawyers, etc. Professionals who couldn't be described as middle class.

Middle Class - The great American majority, sort of. Middle managers, desk jockeys, some small business owners, people who don't engage in much manual labor, but are not skilled professionals either. He examines the middle class in great depth.

High Proletarian (or "prole") - Skilled workers but manual labor. Electricians, plumbers, etc. Probably not familiar with the term "proletarian."

Middle Prole - Unskilled manual labor. Waitresses, painters. (In other words, my mom and dad!)

Low Prole - Non-skilled of a lower level than mid prole. I suspect these people ask "Would you like fries with that, sir?" as a career.

Destitute - Working and non-working poor.

Bottom Out of Sight - Street people, the most destitute in society. "Out of sight" because they have no voice, influence or voter impact. (They don't vote.)

He also talks about the "X-Class", which is another way of saying the artist/intellectual class.

But these are social classes, not economic classes. For example, an upper class person could actually have less money than an upper middle class person and still be upper class. I hope that answers some of your question. I would encourage you to do more research into this fascinating and complicated subject.

The term Gen X comes from Douglas Coupland's novel Generation X which came out in 1991 but was about twenty somethings: https://www.amazon.com/Generation-X-Tales-Accelerated-Culture/dp/031205436X/

The X in Generation X actually is a reference to Paul Fussell's humorous book about class: Class: A Guide Through the American Status System https://www.amazon.com/Class-Through-American-Status-System/dp/0671792253/ which claimed there was a category X that stood outside of normal class divisions. We'd call them hipsters now. Coupland pointed out that what Fussell described as a kind of classless bohemianism was actually pretty typical for the entire Gen X generation.

I'm sure all this would seem pretty quaint to millennials, but seemed fairly trenchant when it came out. In any case, you could try to throw the Gen Y kids into the Gen X category, but they are pretty distinct based on the fact that they do generally come from broken homes while the older Gen X'ers do not.

I'll just add that I think we Gen X'ers grew up in a time when many things seemed fixed and immutable, particularly institutions, and it felt like opportunities were incredibly limited because of this. Power was pretty well concentrated in corporate hands, including media power. The Cold War was a fixed and omnipresent part of our childhood. If you read Coupland's book, you'll see a lot of precursors to the current millennial pessimism. We really felt like we didn't have a chance in the economy. Sadly, we were far better off than the millennials as, at the very least, we weren't as a generation saddled with really significant college debt.

I think at least for the Gen Y'ers I know who were admittedly early to the internet there was and is a lot more optimism about opportunity just because the internet was clearly a disruptive force for all the major institutions of my youth. Their entry into the world as adults was coupled with a new set of jobs and a radical remaking of the media landscape. I'm sure that is to some extent locale specific, of course, as it hit the creative coasts first and started having an impact elsewhere later.

I know This Isn't what u asked for exactly but the prices are quite reasonable for the used books.

Not sure if This is what u want but its a pdf download and free so worth a shot.

And This

Not sure if any of these help you but hopefully they do somehow. also try using DuckDuckgo.com, its great for searches like this.

A lot of what I have to say would be cribbed from Paul Fussell's book Class (https://www.amazon.com/Class-Through-American-Status-System/dp/0671792253). And yes, it does factor into my evaluation of Trump.

One point you miss here is old money does not see itself as leeching money, but rather they are being rewarded handsomely for bringing benefit to all (I'm describing their view of themselves). They see new money like Trump as grubbing and leeching that is beneath them.

Class: A guide through the American Status System by Paul Fussell is a good (and humorous) book on the subject. Our American class system is tricky to navigate and is sometimes invisible, but it's definitely there. One of the silliest national lies we keep telling ourselves is that we're a class free society and it's easy to become rich and make money.

Highly recommend this book:

http://www.amazon.com/Class-Through-American-Status-System/dp/0671792253

Class: A guide through the American Status System, by Paul Fussel. it was written in the mid 80s, but I think the information is still relevant and the writer basically spends the entirety of the book answering your question about social class signifiers (why do New England upperclass have an affinity for nautical decor? find out in chapter 3).

To the part of the question about regions, you might be interested in this book: http://www.amazon.com/American-Nations-History-Regional-Cultures/dp/0143122029

it is about the whys behind American regional political and class differences based on who immigrated to certain areas of the country, the values and ideals they brought with them and how it changed the American landscape and informs the current social and political climate. Interesting stuff.

I would say don't overwhelm yourself. It's easy to see what your classmates are doing and then fill yourself with doubt and fear. Don't convince yourself you need to use every conceivable study method. Figure out what works best for you and then give yourself tons of time, including days off. Your brain needs breaks. I liked Mosby's more than decks or First Aid for Part II, but everybody's got their own thing. Pick your favorite and start working through it for the first time now. Start review combined with practice exams in January or so. Set short and long-term goals and pace yourself. Good luck!

Paul Fussell wrote an excellent (and hilarious) book about this in the early 1980s, Class. While the book is dated in a number of respects e.g. the wisecracks about Ronald Reagan's brown suits, much of the book still rings true today.

There are nine classes in three tiers as follows:

TOP

1. Top out-of-sight
   
   
2. Upper
   
   
3. Upper middle
   
   CENTER
   
   
4. Middle
   
   
5. High prole
   
   
6. Middle prole
   
   
7. Low prole
   
   LOW
   
   
8. Destitute
   
   
9. Bottom out-of-sight
   
   One thing you find out is that whatever class you think you are, you are most likely at least one step below that. For example, think you are UMC? You are probably just middle class or maybe even high prole. My observation from redditors relaying their personal experiences in /r/AskReddit and other subs of general membership is that reddit skews highly prole.
   
   I hasten to add that money is a small part of class. Class is much more about how you act and comport yourself. For example, legible clothing is prole. Upper class says "black tie", middle class says "tuxedo", prole says "tux". Notably, middle class behavior is largely about imitating how they think the upper class behaves. It is the middle class that makes up swear substitutes like "fiddlesticks!" and "cheese and crackers!" because they think the upper class is too dignified to swear.

They mostly drive solid older cars, the exception being the Saudi prince types who go around in Lamborghinis etc

>Also, most consultants/lawyers/wealth managers

Indeed, they are newly rich or need to appeal to the newly-rich.

I guess it isn't about wealth per se but whether you're old money or new money. There is a great funny little book about this, the author also points out that your class status is inversely proportional to the amount of writing visible on your clothes https://www.amazon.com/Class-Through-American-Status-System/dp/0671792253

This book has a lot of snark, but it's also very informative. And if you're of a certain cast of mind, as I am, you find the snark hilarious. But even if not, the info is pretty solid:

https://www.amazon.com/Class-Through-American-Status-System/dp/0671792253

Teeth have needed to be extracted from mouths since the time that humans have existed. Whether they fall out on their own or they are pulled out, the human body has mechanisms in place to heal itself, and it has been successfully doing that for a very, very long time. In the past hundred years or so, some very smart people who have jobs to do not much else except to ask the question "and then what happens" have figured out how healing takes place. Imagine you have 400 laboratory rats sitting around in cages. You zonk them out, extract the same tooth from all of them, and then they wake up and go about their business. Then, you systematically take one rat every hour, kill it, dissect its extraction site and put very tiny slivers of the healing tissue on a microscope slide. You end up with 400 images of how healing happens. Like a flipboard cartoon you could make a choppy movie of how it happens. The point is, we know what happens in healing. We know down to the cell, and often down to the instruction the cell gets, on how healing happens.

Now enter someone new. Someone who spent a lot of years in school, knows a lot of science, but for one reason or another they want to make more money than they are currently making. A person like this can make up a story using lots of real science and some fake science to get a lot of people to want to listen to his story. The more people that are listening, the more people buy their book or line of products or maybe even advertising on their web site gets them money in their pocket.

That's what has happened here. Someone has come up with the story that remnants of periodontal ligament can create cavitations in your alveolar bone. It's a fake story.

But you, dear reader, believe it. It sounds plausible. You want to be healthy and do what's right for your body. But you've been snookered. Seriously, this principle of cavitation is fiction. Osteonecrosis is real, dry socket is real, but not cavitation.

Who am I to say? I'm just a regular guy, a general dentist, who has been pulling two to four teeth a week on average for the past ten years. I've been watching them heal, dealing with complications. I've followed some patients for years after the extractions, some people I never see again. I know it's not real. But you don't have to believe me, just go to Amazon and buy this: http://www.amazon.com/Petersons-Principles-Maxillofacial-Surgery-Edition/dp/1607951118/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1408619053&sr=8-1&keywords=principles+of+oral+surgery

Sure, it's $450, but it's a book written by people who do fill their entire lives with nothing much more than tooth extractions. The information is out there for anyone. You don't have to have a doctorate to buy it. Go ahead. I haven't read it, but I can assure you that there isn't a chapter about removing the periodontal ligament after an extraction.

Holistic and natural dentistry is fake. Please stop reading about it. Do it for the sake of the rats (and dogs and god knows what else) helped us understand what is real.

That, and anesthesia. Up until the Victorian era, dentistry was done wide awake and without painkillers of any kind.

this book, http://www.amazon.com/Dentistry-Illustrated-Malvin-E-Ring/dp/0810981165/ref=sr_1_cc_2?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1371545627&sr=1-2-catcorr&keywords=book+on+history+of+dentistry

Discusses the beginnings of anesthesia in dentistry. They experimented with laughing gas, ether, and the like. Even chloroform was tried.

Here's a wiki about the man who first used ether in dental procedures, his story is fairly interesting too. It was seen as a huge leap at the time.

If you're interested in this, Class: A Guide Through the American Status System by Paul Fussell is a great read. It was written some decades back, so you'd think it would be dated, but it really isn't. He holds no punches, so you'll need a bit of thick skin when your class is being discussed. But still, what he says is so true and very funny at times.

20 -23 reminds me of a book on my shelf, Paul Fussell's - Class - A Guide Through The American Status System. https://www.amazon.com/Class-Through-American-Status-System/dp/0671792253

It's super dated, but one thing I took away from it is this, the lower and upper class are two sides of the same coin. Uncouth barbarians at heart who both do what they want, while the middle class does what it can to either distance itself from the poor or attempt to become part of the upper class.

If you've read the The Gervais Principle ...

https://www.ribbonfarm.com/the-gervais-principle/

you'd see the hierarchy of Psychopath, clueless and loser play out on a societal scale when you look at class in America. Unfortunately according to The Gervais Principle the Psychopaths tend to jump ship to start a new company or move on once they have rung all they can out of the current company. Guess what they are getting ready to do to our country? Good times bro, good times.

People go to college, dress well and are on time.

Class is sublime. Class is what makes us "better" than animals. Class is what can't be bought, it has to be earned.

I've read quite a few books on class and they're fascinating, I highly recommend this one https://www.amazon.com/Class-Through-American-Status-System/dp/0671792253 also https://www.amazon.com/Social-Class-Stratification-Society-Now/dp/0415041252

I can't seem to find the book though. I'm really hoping to find a copy online and rip these snake-oil salesmen for the con men they truly are.

Many pseudoscience peddlers like anti-vaxxers have written long, self-aggrandizing books though so I'm not too surprised honestly. It's a good investment on their side; get a bunch of scared, uninformed parents to buy their books.

UPDATE 1: Found it. They really are scumbags... It's called "The Cause and Cure of Malocclusion" Orthotropics Book by "Professor" John Mew

https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:P7RYiEagX6kJ:https://orthotropics.com/shop-item/cause-cure-malocclusion/+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us

UPDATE 2 I guess the video also serves to sell other books too. Could anyone check to see if the video poster has an Amazon Affiliate Program? I'm guessing the youtuber who posted the video gets some kind of monetary incentive to promote the books.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1944177590/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=stuf0e-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=1944177590&linkId=8ccdb44081e1708db4301452701fba41

UPDATE 3 Dr. Felix Liao, the author of one of the books above, is a "holistic doctor"
Here's more about him

There's a reason why the video only lists these books; there are no real studies on this.

UPDATE 4 There's a similar if not the same pseudoscience called "orofacial myofunctional therapy." Actually reading the poorly designed studies, looking up the biases of the researchers, as well as the origins of the journal it was published in are extremely important to determine whether it's a pseudoscience or not. That... and also if they are trying to selling books, courses, memberships, or any other multi-leveling/cult marketing nonsense.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4296637/pdf/dpjo-19-04-0094.pdf

The lower and upper classes have a lot more in common with each other and not with the middle class. It's because both have nothing to lose. For the poor that's literal and for the rich they just can't lose enough for it to matter. It's interesting. For example, both value hunting and sports way more than the middle class. It's just different prey and games.

I recommend Class: A Guide Through the American Status System by Paul Fussell.


https://www.amazon.com/Class-Through-American-Status-System/dp/0671792253

Yes. Here is a great book on anesthesia. Its a short read. https://www.amazon.com/Successful-Anesthesia-Restorative-Dentistry-Endodontics/dp/0867157437

EDIT: Here is the link without the referral tag in case people don't feel like rewarding folks for posting ad links : http://www.amazon.com/Class-Through-American-Status-System/dp/0671792253


Short version: it's a book that has the shocking revelation that people of similar interests coupled with income levels tend to socialize with each other. Pretty revolutionary stuff, if you are into the idea that wearing certain colors makes someone better than someone else.

I recommend you speak with a specialist. Plus you could read this book! It's very helpful: https://www.amazon.com/Six-Foot-Tiger-Three-Foot-Cage-Charge/dp/1944177590

>Ahhhhh oh my gosh you 'Muricans really will deep fry anything.

As someone who lives in a city where an honest-to-god socialist sits on the city council it's always funny to hear things like that..

What I mean--if you're a Trump enthusiast, or if you live in a small town, or if you do manual labor, or (perhaps?) live in the South you're probably the sort of person who's likely to a state fair and eat something deep-fried. If you live in a coastal metropolis or work at a tech firm or wouldn't feel out of place in a sport coat the idea of eating a lot of those foods is probably nauseating, not to mention the notion of going to a fair is totally alien.

US social heterogeneity is entrenched and profound but our discourse about it is mostly tacit. Times are weird in America. Dated but relevant.

I'm flexible as long as its scholarly. I read this and it was fun, but i'm looking for something more substantial. I've tons about class and power structure in theory but very little applied.

I've been doing a lot of self-reflection lately and realized i know more about social class in other countries than my own and I want to change that.

BTW I like this Socratic style thread.

Well, I'm self-employed, which means I tend to have a lot of leeway about what I wear :)

But appropriateness for lifestyle is broader than just wearing what you wear for work. It's about your background, what you spend your time doing, who your friends are and what they wear (can you imagine wearing a suit and tie while always hanging out with friends wearing tshirts? No--you might wear a sweater and button-down but can't push it to its extreme) those practical aspects of not living in an internet fashion vacuum. A lot of it may also come down to social class, that ugly beast we might prefer not to talk about... I recommend http://www.amazon.com/Class-Through-American-Status-System/dp/0671792253.

What underlies the reason why I originally posted is more of a gripe with constant consumption at high prices and never feeling satisfied. I dislike the feeling of only buying. Because I find it stupid to always want to cop pieces that just came out, because there will ALWAYS be more new pieces and more new things you want. This might be because I don't have a lot of extra cash and tend to buy almost all my clothing in thrift stores, but I am always looking for older pieces that are either high quality, or interesting, or both.

Really, the mistake you are making is thinking that class is thinking that income is how class is solely defined. It is more accurate to describe it through ways of thinking and "taste". Money does drive these differences in culture between classes, but it is not the defining difference. Ever hear the term "New Money"? (Usually as an insult) It is referring to a person who is culturally a lower class but came into upper class levels of money. They tend to be very flashy and gaudy and have no idea how to handle their money.

The upper middle class, culturally, extends quite a bit above what you think of as upper class in terms of incomes. Upper class family are generally not working professionals though some might be (but only because they want to be). They are not the CEOs even, unless they want to be. They are the people with enough money that the interest on their investments alone allow them to live luxuriously. They are the much vaunted capitalists.



Here is a good read on the subject, if a bit tongue in cheek:
https://smile.amazon.com/Class-Through-American-Status-System/dp/0671792253?sa-no-redirect=1

Assuming you're not a shoplifter, I see two possibilities here.

1. Given how little of the world's textual matter has found its way to the internet yet, I'm going to guess that reading isn't really your thing. So you buy the New Yorker to display it prominently on your coffee table?
   
   
2. Okay, I admit, that's assuming a lot. Maybe you have a well-worn library card. But you can read the New Yorker at the library, too. So why pay to bring it home, if not to display it prominently on your coffee table?
   
   In any event, you should know that attempting to win praise through the conspicuous display of the New Yorker is an old trick, written about as early as 1983 by Paul Fussell (sorry, dead-tree only; you may have to drop a dime). Though I doubt Mr. Fussell had the foresight to cover conspicuous name-dropping of the New Yorker in web forums.
   
   Today's magazine of choice for these purposes - whether for display around the home or "reading" on the metro - is the Economist. Sadly, though, that magazine is also now widely recognized as having a much larger subscriber base than readership.
   
   There's always the New York Times, I suppose, though I admit that doesn't quite exhibit the air of exclusivity you're looking for.

It's on the left side of the image (#31). If there is enough decay to show up on this type of x-ray, it's probably more advanced than you realize. If you'd prefer to wait until the tooth began to hurt before you had it filled, then I'd plan on having a root canal and crown to go along with it. If you're still not convinced you can check out this book on dental radiology: http://www.amazon.com/Oral-Maxillofacial-Radiology-Diagnostic-Approach/dp/0813814146

I'm also fairly certain you've got a nice cavity on the distal of #20. FYI.

Rossdds is batting 100% - I like his conciseness.

I'm not done with it yet, and some of it may be outdated, but I'm rather liking Paul Fussell's Class:

https://www.amazon.com/Class-Through-American-Status-System/dp/0671792253

> It goes with our affectation of a society without class distinctions. Whether we really lack class distinctions is another matter.

Affectation is the right word. I highly recommend Paul Fussell's book Class to any that think the US doesn't have defined and inferred status systems. It gives a funny and irreverent look to the topic of the social classes in the US.

My partner just got this from a patient. I thought it was really interesting.

how about you consult this good book

I don’t think Americans spend anywhere near the amount of time thinking about class that the British do.

To the extent that we think about it at all, it’s more about cultural norms than income. A good book to read about this is Class by Paul Fussell .

> Perhaps I expected too much. I had been led to believe that having a good body was enough to make up for myriad flaws

I'm surprised this doesn't at least get you women showing some interest or first dates.

I'll take a stab at this and say you probably come from the upper class? Maybe went to some expensive private school? If you did, are you still around people of similar background? The point being, those in the upper class have a different culture than those in the middle and those in the middle different from the lower class. If you're spending time, for whatever reason such as job, around those of a different class this can create problems due to cultural clash.

This old book talks about the differences in how the American classes live, if you're interested in finding out more.

Yes, and it is up to us in part to burst their bubble. This book gives an insight (even if dated) Class: A Guide Through the American Status System

Not socialist by any stretch, yet brutally accurate:Paul Fussell's "Class." Here is that Amazon link but purchase it somewhere else. Better yet, use a library : )

yes. Read "Class" by Paul Fussell.

I remember in this book they mentioned how the upper class seem to like sailing decor, especially when they are children. I wonder if MM's researchers picked up on this when doing research.

For a very thorough (and humorous) observational analysis of this and related issues, read Class: A Guide Through the American Status System by Paul Fussell. It's a quick, entertaining read, and very eye-opening (though not rigorous academically). It's US-centric... so the relevance to aristocracy in the UK is not a perfect match.

Paul Fussell's "Class" is somewhat dated, but falls in the same genre. More anecdotal than academically rigorous in method, but still well worth reading.

The specific styles of dress etc are somewhat out of date however the underlying principles of human class distinction (primarily, supervision and control vs self-determination) have remained current for the last few thousand years.

> Holy fucking hell share you mother fucker

I think I pulled something laughing at that

There's an excellent book called Class: A Guide Through the American Status System that groups it like so:
