A fun summer treat without the fuss  

Here's testimonial from a new patient that we'd like to share. "Dr. Chamberlain and Staff, I want to thank your team for an amazing experience. From the moment I entered your office with Piari, we were greeted in a very professional and kind manner. Ashlee and Katie both took the time to make both of us feel welcome and comfortable as we filled out papers. Piari is not from our country and has had very little experience…"

At Chamberlain Dental Health we utilize a principle called "Co-Discovery" as part of our examination process.

What is your purpose in life? Why do you exist? Why do you get up each morning? Why do you work in your specific field of labor? “Purpose” answers the question “Why”. Many will tell you that their purpose in life is to enjoy every moment to its fullest, or excel in their profession, or perhaps to serve God, or to make others happy. In my opinion all of these are noble and good purposes. I have found that over time my Purpose has changed. When I was young my Purpose was more self-centered: to be well-fed, or to experience new things. As I have matured my Purpose has become more towards others: how can I best help those around me (at least this tends to be the major part of my New Year Resolutions each year!)?

Like many things in life, oral health practices and preventive techniques can be a matter of priority and just getting started.

I recently attended "The Worn Dentition" seminar, presented by Dr. Frank Spears and held in Scottsdale, Arizona. Having worked as a dentist for over 13 years in communities all along the Wasatch Front (Bountiful, Layton, South Ogden, and Brigham City), I have observed unhealthy tooth wear in all ages of people. I have seen some instances of tooth wear that are so severe that total and full-mouth rehabilitation was required in order to restore function and esthetics for the individual. My observations caused me to reflect upon preventive measures. What can be done for a patient early on, before severe wear has left teeth sharp, jagged and broken down? What anatomic conditions make predicting grinding problems...more predictable? The course was masterful. I would like to present a few interesting points from the seminar: First: If a child grinds his or her teeth, is the child likely to continue grinding after replacing all primary (baby) teeth with adult teeth? Research shows that the child will probably grind his or her adult teeth. Grinding as a child is a predictor for adult grinding.

Mercury is the only common metal that is a liquid at ordinary temperatures. It is an element of our periodic table and is studied by every science and chemistry student in our elementary, secondary, and college environments. Silver Fillings in Teeth Mercury is used for a number of things: from immunizations and thermometers to silver fillings in our teeth. A silver filling is comprised of a number of different metals all combined into a powdery form. Mercury is used to "amalgamate" the powder form of the metals into a form that can be compressed into a tooth to fill a cavity. As the amalgam filling is compressed into the tooth, much of the mercury rises to the top and is scraped away and discarded. Scientists have noticed an increasing concentration of mercury in our bodies as they study blood samples of Americans. It is believed that the increasing concentrations of mercury in our blood samples is due to mercurial waste dumped into rivers and lakes. Mercury finds its way into fish, which we eat. The mercury in the fish is then introduced to our body. Mercury is not easily removed from our body as it accumulates in our fatty tissues. It is considered cumulative, meaning it is not lost and replenished. Rather, it is stored and remains. Many believe that manufacturing and industry waste is mostly responsible for the increased mercury in the lakes, fish, and humans. But government and scientists have also questioned whether dentistry contributes significantly to the problem.

Hello, my name is Ashlee Olsen and I am the office manager for Dr David Chamberlain. My husband and I recently moved to North Salt Lake. I work for a dentist in Bountiful Utah and have been working for him for over a year now. We have thoroughly enjoyed living in Davis county. I grew up in a small town and this is why I have really enjoyed the North Salt Lake and Bountiful areas, it reminds me of home.
