Hi Doc Hemp & Becky,
Wow!!! Great website!!! Just got this computer. Thought I'd give this www
stufff a try. Since I'm a RDA, got the idea to check out anything dental.
Whew!! I'm overwhelmed, but having fun being lost in cyberdentland. How I
got your website can't remember, but I bookmarked. By the way I work with a
great prosthodontist, who is very conservative. He went into private
practice 2 years ago, and is building a patient base by referrals. No
advertisments, (although I did list him @ dentaxchange
for fun, mistake?) Shoot, it wuz free!!! I feel our dedication to our
patients, will ultimatly cause growth, but doc asked if we could come up with
something to help it along. Any ideas? I'll be a suctioning!!! Thanks
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Beth,
glad U like our site! Seeing your doc is a specialist throws in a different twist - he
needs to PERSONALLY meet EVERY DENTIST (especially the conservative ones
like us that look at patients as patients not $ being referred out - to someone as or more
capable than ourselves!) face to face he can - show them they & their patients are
important to him. Explain his philosophy - go over treatment plans & why he wants to
do things a certain way - listen to them - MUST BE CONFIDENT IN HIMSELF!
Good luck to both of you!
Doc Hemp.

Hi Doc. Sandy and all the others! - 6/5/97
First time I have seen this site and I am really impressed! Not enough to
recommend that my company spend the $60K to duplicate it for our needs,
although it may be a bargain in the long run. I have book marked the site
and plan on many hits in the future. Since I am getting paid to work at home
today I need to make this E mail short today but I wanted to say Hi before my
next visit on the 16th of this month. Take care and continued good luck on
all of your endeavors.

Dave,
Yes, the AWE64 is great, but the way I got it I got a screwing on the price.
Paid almost double. No, I do not drive the Pantera on the streets in the
winter. It is parked from Nov to May. It was at one time driven in the
salt though as it had mucho decay. It seemed they didnt brush after they
drove. ( Had to throw in the dental humor) By the way, it is warm by this
time of the year. My web site is www.pobox.com/~pantera and is also
referenced on Shane Ingates pantera page. I may not get to drive my car
much in the winter, but I drive it a lot in the summer. I have taken
several moderately long trips in the car. Keep up the good work and I will
remember to vote for your web site. Any hints on how to improve mine, I am
still new to HTML.

If you are going to go fast, go real fast.
Let me say first and foremost ...... I am the world's biggest dental
chicken (Bwak bwak). I am petrified of dentist to say the least. When I
was young, I spent a long time in the hospital being injected full of
medicine that has ruined my teeth in my adult life. Every time I go,
something new and extremely painful is invented just to torture me
further!!! I think that you would be the coolest dentist in the world!
Let me know if you want to experiment on the dental world's
phenomenon!!! (He! He!) I need valium ( I don't know how to spell it,
sorry) though!!!
Secondly, you have to visit York, Pa (we live about 1 hour from there).
They have a Harley plant there. We were able to take a tour ... it is
sooooooooooooooooo cool! I figure after all my teeth fall out {& no
longer have to pay those outrageous dental bills [He! He!]}, the kids
are grown and out of college & I have been with Citibank for 20 years
... we may be able to by a Harley. For now we just ride a Suzuki GS 1100
E (rice burner).
Most important, for the wonderful contribution you have made to the www,
please access http://www.geocities.com/NapaValley/awardpickup.htm and
get YOUR Good Neighbor Award!! It is more than deserved!!!!
I wish all the best for you and your wife! You make a very nice couple.

Hi!
We found your hog roast guide when searching for tips on how to roast a
piglet. We plan to this as a back-garden barbecue here in London, so it
won't be anything like the scale on which you chaps operate.
However, we wondered if you have any ideas on this rather smaller
adventure. Particularly we have been wondering how long it might take:
is there any rule of thumb such as a weight to cooking time ratio?
And the other thing we have been puzzling about is what you use for
fuel, and how you keep it going during the roasting. Do you have to
remove the meat every time until the fuel stops smoking?
Looking forward to you advice.

Dave and Becky,
I just had the opportunity of browsing your web-page and I must say it's
great. I'm new to the internet as I just graduated from LSU Dental School
last May and really didn't have time to play until recently. Even though my
time on the www has been short your site is outstanding.
I'm 27 y/o living in Charleston SC and I have a wonderful wife, Rebecca
as well as a great baby girl, Marguerite. I'm doing some time in the Navy as
they paid for my education, and we will be moving to Norfolk in July where I
will work on the USS Roosevelt (aircraft carrier). I had time in the Army
during Desert Storm so I'm pleased with my present job, however I will be
"jumping ship" when my time is up and plan on practicing somewhere in East
Texas (no state taxes) or NW La. (great duck hunting).
I saw both your philosophy and the dental student page (hope I don't
start turning into a frog) and I must say there is some useful info. in both.
Never thought of going to Perio. offices to get the scoop on other dentists,
but that's a GREAT idea. I also agree w/ your philosophy and I follow the
KISS principle daily. It's somewhat saddening to talk w/ my buddies from
school who have bought into the idea that it takes billboards and full page
ads to bring patients in. Just the other day I was reassured that patients
will seek you if you are good to them and maintain a sense of humor, when I
recieved a note from an old dental school ptnt. who lives over 800 miles
away. I always tell my buddies to stay true to themselves, their families,
and their patients, and all will work out, but they see those student loans
of 60K+ and they get antsy.
By the way, my wife and I are also Harley fans but we don't have the
funds to pursue that hobby at this time. PATIENCE is a virtue, at least
that's what Rebecca always says (don't you hate it when the wife gets
philosophical on you).
I won't waste any more of your time, as I can see that you are very
busy. Did you do all that web design yourself?

Hi Doc,
after more than 4000miles weīre back home and it has been a crazy trip! We had
everything from faulty transmissions to several defect regulators and batteries
- try to get spare parts in central spain!!! Anyway, central spainīs landscape
is fantastic and can be best compared with northern New Mexico or parts of
western Texas. We walked on the roots of the new world when we rode our hogs on
the plazas of Trujillo (birthplace of Francisco Pizarro) or stayed overnight in
the Real Monasterio of the Black Madonna of Guadalupe (where Columbus planned
and started his excursions - finally he named his flagship "Santa Maria" for
that reason). Spain has a fantastic hotel chain, called the "Paradores". These
are mostly reconstructed old castles, now used as hotels. You can check them
out on the internet, look for "paradores de espana" in "Yahoo" or a similar
search engine. Ckeck out our places in Jaen, Guadalupe, Ciudad Rodrigo,
Trujillo, Siguenza and Olite!!! As for the road, we had everything: Great scenic
roads as well as dirt roads, where our Harleys sank saddlebag-deep into the mud
and we had to push them out with one of us sitting atop, the rest pushing on the
bike! At one place, we needed one hour for 300 feet! Well, after two weeks we
finally made it to Biarritz in friendly France and you can see a few of these
pics in our internet-site. I did not meet any of the persons you mentioned
above. I did talk with some European representatives, but I have the feeling
that they donīt even know what weīre talking about when it comes to the
internet. O.K., thats the news for today. Maybe you want to make a trip through
Spain now? O.K., come on out with us - itīs pure adventure!
See You
Doc Mike

Dear Doc Hemp,
What about "stress lesions" as opposed to toothbrush abrasion? How
would you say they differ? All the information I have seen lately in
regard to Class 5 lesions (non-carious)... tends to lean by to the
cause being occlusion.. which before restoration need a bite adjustment.
What do you think?? Thanks for your web site it is a pleasure.
Kate Cozier,R.D.H.
>>>>>>>>
Kate,
I have watched these tooth brush abrasion lesions deepen on patients of mine for over
28 years, have never seen a fractured piece of dentin yet! I personally think they are
ALL ABRASION! If there is a strong occlusal interference it must be adjusted
anyway! If not, leave it alone! I bond them in only after they have deepend enough to undercut the buccal
cusp enough to worry about fracture (when a crack can be seen with a polarized light
running from the mesial & distal up to the occlusal) or hygiene problems.
Not one of our bondings have popped out - if still being stressed they certainly would!
Also, any abrasion you see higher up in the enamel & down into the dentin is made
from the plastic part of the tooth brush that holds the bristles angled to far down, have them bring their brush
from home & show you how they use it - you will see what I mean.

Olga,
No, but if the infection is a small cronic area & has cleared up & the tooth is quite tight
& not jepordizing the adjacent teeth you could go as long as possible with it. Also if it
must come out you can usually have a bonded on bridge attached to the back of teeth
next to the one that came out - not having to cut the other teeth down hardly at all
except for a couple of grooves on the back of each tooth & room for HIGH NOBLE
GOLD on the back only - false tooth made of Porcelain baked to gold. Bonded in -
holes in the gold = better attachment = can see one of our bridges done that way = hard
to figure out looking at it. No gold shows. Copy this - have your dentist refer you to one that does
this if he doesn't ... if the tooth must go - - - you will have to have a temporary stayplate made first. This will allow for
totao healing first before the bridge is made & gives you time to find the right person to do it. (also if conditions are
perfect - you might consider having a prosthedontist placing a single post implant with one crown)
good luck

Unfortunately my ISP has gotten all cocked up in some sort of Management
Revolution cum Saturday Night Massacre so I've had to fall back on AOL,
Compuserve and the net interface at work until circa August 1 when the
revolutionaries will have won out and everything will be back to normal.
I went to your Music Room and now I have to go dig through all of my old
albums and find my original Ventures in Space album with "Pipeline" on
it ... ah, the burden that you've laid upon me.
You know what impresses me? Well, by way of introduction, I write
software but down at the operating system level .... the kind of stuff
like managing the transmission of packets of bits across the net. What
impresses me is the ART that somebody else is able to build on top of
that. It's kinda like the guy who dug the hole and then comes around
and looks at the building that was built in his hole.
It kinda makes it all worthwhile if I remember your page while I'm
spending days and nights trying to figure out why in the name of the
devil that particular 16 bits in that particular place in that
particular internet transmission packet are all goofed up. My crummy
little page ain't much since I just dig the holes ..... but it does send
people out to see you.
Thanks for what you do,
D.M.

Frank,

Thanks very much for your advice about roasting a pig that you gave us a
few weeks ago. We actually cooked an 80lb pig on Saturday, having spent
several hours the night before with stinging fingers peeling 500 cloves
of garlic and slotting it into holes in the pig.
The morning came and we were off at 8.00am to collect the tray and spit
from the hire shop. Had our first coals ready by 10.00am, by which time
we had also wired the pig to the spit. We were off!
Quarter of an hour later it started to drizzle... no problem, we are
used to that in London. The drizzle soon turned into a *very* serious
downpour, and we had to abandon the cooking in order to rush to the
local shop and get a huge sheet of polythene and some washing line so we
could put up canopies over the patio and over the area where we were
roasting the pig.
Another worry was that a friend who was staying with us had not come
back, and he had the corrugated iron for a second fire to get the coals
ready, the PA for the live music, and another tarpaulin with him!
The rain grew so thick that it was hard to see the house from the
garden. A gallon or so of water was gathering in bulges in the plastic,
and we had water streaming down our armpits through all our clothes as
we reached up to clear it.
By this time the fire had gone out, which at least made it easier to put
up a canopy over and round it. Finally our friend arrived, safe and
bringing what we needed.
The guests started to arrive at about 2pm. We had all just changed out
of our totally-wet clothes and the pig was once again roasting merrily
in the garden, so everything looked the picture of order.
Of course, by now we had lost a lot of roasting time. People kept
suggesting that we should carve the meat off gradually from the outside
like a kebab, but we kept showing them the print-out of your website and
the email and saying we didn't think that would work very well.
The rain stopped, possibly in the face of our refusal to give up in a
long stream of calls from friends asking if the party was still on!
Eventually came the moment of triumph when our new meat thermometer told
us that the beast was done, and we were able to start serving our hungry
guests. I think that was at about 5 or 6 o'clock, but by then my sense
of time was a bit blurred by cider consumption.
Everyone loved it, of course. In fact it wasn't far from being
completely finished which, considering that a quite a few people we
invited were not so weather-brave, was remarkable as we'd actually
catered for more.
Thank you again for your advice.It was fun.

Dr. Hemp,
I wanted to commend you on giving such good and honest advice for future
dentists. While I am still only an undergrad at Tulane University in New
Orleans, La, I have aspirations of becoming a great dentist such as
yourself. Actually, I am particularly interested in Cosmetic Dentistry,
which is what got me interested in dentistry in the first place.
I was wondering if you could offer any advice on the profession...the good
and bad, and something that a prosective dental student may not know or
expect about dental school and practicing. I have a pre-dental homepage up
now, and I want to be able to put as much truthful and useful information
up as I can, not only for the WWW, but for myself as well.
Thanks again for creating such a helpful page. Hope to hear from you soon.
Phil Hoang
Hopeful D.D.S.

Phil,
We have just returned from 2 weeks vacation, over 4000 miles on the Harleys, etc.
wasn't sure if I had responded to your really nice e-mail - have almost 800 messages right
now on my desk top ... I have no particular additional advice but to keep those grades
up! Take that $700 course on the DAT review! Keep focused, set your goals, don't
ever do anything you don't have to - really put yourself in that chair - if you do that - you
WILL END UP THE BUSIEST DENTIST IN TOWN EVENTUALLY! Many of the
others start fast with advertising gimmiks & concentrate on production only! & the most finanial advantages way for
them to do a case. ..... You can charge for what you do, & the time to do it right! Just make a point that the patient gets their moneys worth! You have to be able to make money to eventually aquire the best equipment, etc.
Much success to you & yours!!!
Doc Hemp
Sid,
No I don't other than what I had read! Sounds very interesting if it would work even 1/2
as well as they claim!! I think it will need a year or so to prove its self - - - unless the cost
is so affordable no one has anything to lose!

Dave,
Enclosed is the press release from Biora I mentioned a couple of months
ago. They claim "Endogain", when applied to tooth root surface during
periodontal flap surgery, patients regained two-third of bone loss.
Do you have any experience with this?

BIORA Obtains Marketing Clearance for EMDOGAIN(R) in Canada
CHICAGO, Aug. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- BIORA, AB (Nasdaq: BIORY, SSE: BIOR)
today
announced that its lead
product, EMDOGAIN(R), has been reviewed and found to meet the requirements
of the Canadian medical devices
regulation. The company expects to launch EMDOGAIN in Canada on October 13.
Canada is the twelfth country in
which Biora has obtained marketing clearance for EMDOGAIN.
Applied in gel form on the tooth-root surface during periodontal flap
surgery, EMDOGAIN promotes the regain of
tooth-supporting tissues and reattachment of the tooth. In clinical studies
in the United States and Sweden, periodontists
reported that in patients with severe loss of tooth support, periodontal
defects treated with EMDOGAIN regained
two-thirds of bone lost, compared with no gain or further loss experienced
in untreated defects in the same patient. Every
year, more than five million periodontal flap surgeries are performed
worldwide.
Sales and marketing efforts for Canada will be managed out of Biora's
Chicago-based subsidiary, Biora, Inc., under the
direction of the subsidiary's President, Donna Jenks.
BIORA develops, manufactures, markets and sells products for the treatment
of periodontal disease and for use in oral
surgery. Using its proprietary technology and expertise, BIORA aims to
become a world leader in biology-based
products for specialized dental therapy.
