The reality is
that a vast majority of the cavities I fill, like 90%, started between the
patient's teeth.
I talk with my patients a lot about their particular cavity
patterns so they can develop efficient ways of stopping those patterns with the
least time and effort.
Young teenagers in my office are often thinking about driving, getting their license, what car they are driving, and what care they would like one day to be driving. So I point out to them that most dentists appreciate nice cars and drive the one they like. And the patients who don't floss get to make the car payments for the dentist's car.
So I offer the patient some options regarding this. If they would like to stop getting cavities they can pay me to come to their house every day and floss their teeth for them. If they do that, I can use the money to buy a really nice car to drive to their house each day. J The second option is to continue only brushing their teeth and I will have the honor of doing their fillings for them and I will enjoy the new car again. Or ...
The patient could decide to do the daily flossing. Then they will save the money and one day they will be driving their new car. J
Oh so often, what we have in life revolves around the simple decisions we make each day!

It is an interesting idea to attract the people towards the dental treatments by talking with them about their favorite car. I think that they will surely become agreed for the treatment in this way.
