Dr. Miguel, you did a wonderful job highlighting the positive effects a good set of teeth can do to your self esteem and to our social values in this current generation. Great watch!

Due to neglect of my own to take care of family I let my dental health deteriorate. I went for a consultation and was given quotes of 12, 16, and 22, thousand dollars to fix my teeth. I decided to check out for myself what is available to me because of the enormous cost to fix them and given my age I cannot bring myself to invest this much money. I was told my only other alternative is dentures and pull all mine out which I find terrifying and I cannot bring myself to do it. I am so happy to hear that there are options out there I certainly hope there is someone here where I live that is up to date with this latest technology.

''picture a woman smiling''

[happyliving]

Why are the comments so toxic? People must be seething through their missing tooth gap.

[tomridey]

What are some of the major challenges that dentistry professionals are facing these days?

[ChristeenLim]

I dream of going to this place, Lisbon

[casper-zrklsgl]

A lot of talk with no substance. I though he was going to highlight the latest cutting-edge teeth regeneration and teeth coating that will give us full protection from sugar, acid, bacteria, decay, gingivitis --- oh wait. That would make 90% of dentists redundant.

[lazarusblackwell]

Ted has a one basic flaw in ALL of their so called "lectures"

They spend 90 percent of the video on IRRELEVANT information

They rarely make a point

Talk a lot say nothing

[kentlarsen]

George Washington had at least 4 sets of dentures in his life, I believe they must have been painful.

[pabloescabar]

Than make dentistry cheap, ur costing thousands of dollers, and for teeth implant dont talk about it, everyone knows how much it cost. How would someone give u this amount of money when they dont really have? So that means, u have to be rich for having teeth.

[stuffguy]

peoples income is not keeping up with any of these though thats the real

[gamingshortschannel]

This guy is talking more about what a smile can do and not given any proper solutions. We all want real teeth, not fake teeth. I have heard that there is stem cell research regarding growing our natural teeth back. Many times I have been to the dentist and my teeth have been damaged deliberately so that they can make profit by me having to go back again and pay. Dentistry is a business and with all businesses it is always about profit. This guy even admitted that there is no policing of dentistry.

[farfar]

You know what! I don't like to smile with showing teeth! Most of the time. Such smiles are exaggerated and fake!

[evmcmunn]

he didnt say anything about when we were going to have regrown/regenerated teeth...lame talk

[thejunedempseyshow]

Dentistry will soon be a profession of the past, like hairstylist and maid. With the rise of 3D printers, people will be able to create new sets of teeth from their own house on demand. No longer necessitating the middle man 'doctor' to it for them.
