Your Villa - East Valley - Aug - Oct 2021

In this year of misguided, self-driving cars and ethereal, block chain investing, we may feel “ready, but not ready” to fly head-first into the technological future. Though people feel better about the dentist, lately, due to better materials, tools and techniques, they would still rather avoid dental visits. We asked our patients for their input on how the world could phase out cavities and tooth loss. Here are three ideas they shared, along with our own answers: Jackie Jackie from Yucaipa told us she loves being pampered and doesn’t like to make small-talk, as she’s a shy and quiet person. On the other hand, she loves Terminator movies! Jackie would LOVE to “Future” Poll Reveals Peeps’ Prefs be treated by a robot dentist while she receives leg waxing and pedicure services by a robot esthetician! (That’s pretty wild and futuristic, Jackie. It may come to that sooner than we expect. Until then, we’ll be glad to keep things quiet during your care. As for esthetician services, many other women agree with you! We’ll consider it.) Benita Benita from Redlands is an orange farmer. She grew up eating a lot of citrus, which ate away at her tooth enamel, requiring lots of corrective cosmetic bonding and veneers. It’s no surprise she wants bio- engineered fruit that doesn’t cause cavities, no matter how much you eat. (Bonita, until that happens, please rinse your mouth with water after eating : ) ) Melvis Melvis from Palm Springs retired from “Vegas” as an Elvis impersonator; all those years in smoky casinos has made him sensitive to smells. Melvis stopped driving the 50 miles to see us because his blue suede shoes are tired! He wishes for us to come to him, but in a hologram, so he doesn’t have to smell us either! (Elvis, you would LOVE the essential oils we waft for your sensory enjoyment and relaxation. As for your commute, if you give us a little bit of schtick, we’ll pay for your Uber.)
