“I start gagging before the X-ray even starts.”

Sometimes, it’s the sensor. Sometimes, it’s the anticipation of the sensor.
Either way…the reaction is real.

Tell the dental team before imaging begins. Depending on what needs to be evaluated, positioning may be adjusted—and some images can be taken outside the mouth. Different images answer different questions, though, so extraoral imaging isn’t always a replacement for an intraoral X-ray.

The most helpful first step may be one sentence:
“I have a strong gag reflex.”

No long explanation needed. Just say it early so the team can talk through the options with you.
Save this if dental X-rays are always an event—and send it to someone who starts gagging the moment they see the sensor tray.

You remembered the furniture. The prescriptions. The important paperwork.

But did your dental implant information make the move to Boca too?

Most people know they have an implant… and that is about where the details end. Years later, if the crown needs attention or the area needs to be evaluated, finding those old records can suddenly become important.

A simple implant folder can include:

• The approximate placement date
• The name of the treating office
• The implant information, if available
• Previous X-rays or 3D imaging
• The history of the crown, bridge or other restoration attached to it

If you split your time between two states, keep a digital copy on your phone too. Nothing fancy. Just enough information so your next provider doesn’t have to start the story in the middle.

Could you find your implant information today—or would it take three phone calls and a search through an old email account?

Everyone with a designated chewing side knows exactly which meal will expose it.

Steak? Maybe.

Crusty bread? Absolutely possible.

Salad looks innocent… until one tiny seed finds the exact place you have been avoiding. 😅

People often adjust without realizing it. They cut food differently, move each bite to the “reliable” side or quietly stop ordering certain things.

A missing tooth, tenderness, unstable dental work or a change in the bite can all influence how comfortable chewing feels. It doesn’t tell us the cause by itself—but if every meal has assigned seating, it is worth mentioning at your next appointment.

Now name the food—not the tooth.

A: Steak
B: Salad
C: Crusty bread
D: Anything with seeds

Computer-guided implant surgery sounds a little like the computer takes over.
It doesn’t.

The imaging helps Dr. Leichter study the anatomy. Digital planning helps map a proposed implant position. And when a surgical guide is appropriate, it can help carry that plan into the procedure.

But the technology is still a tool.

It doesn’t examine the patient. It doesn’t understand their medical history, healing needs or priorities. And it doesn’t replace the clinical judgment behind the plan.

A 2025 systematic review and meta-analysis found that computer-assisted implant workflows can improve placement accuracy compared with non-computer-assisted approaches. The researchers also emphasized the limitations of each method—which is why the technology and approach still need to be selected for the individual patient.

Technology assists. Clinical judgment leads.

Would seeing your implant plan beforehand make treatment feel less mysterious?

Experience can look quieter than people expect.

Sometimes it sounds like:
“Let’s look at the images again.”
“Let’s talk about what may still be preserved.”
“Let’s compare the short-term fix with the long-term outlook.”
“And before we decide… what matters most to you?”

For Dr. Julian Leichter, experience is not about rushing toward the most dramatic treatment.

It is about careful assessment. Preserving natural teeth when reasonably possible. Reconstructing when needed. And explaining the options—including their limitations—in language that makes sense outside a treatment room.

Because patients should not leave knowing only what was recommended.
They should understand why.
What do you wish someone had explained before your last dental treatment?

The moment you hear, “The tooth has to come out,” the rest of the conversation can become a blur.
You are allowed to pause.
You are allowed to ask why.
And yes—you are allowed to ask whether saving the tooth is reasonably possible.

A second opinion is not a promise that the tooth can be saved. It also does not automatically mean the first recommendation was wrong. Sometimes you simply need the decision explained in a way your brain can actually process.

That conversation may include:
How much healthy tooth remains?
Where is the fracture?
How much bone support is present?
Is there an infection—and can its source be addressed?
What treatment has already been done?
What is the realistic long-term outlook?
And… what matters most to you?

Because your priorities are not a footnote in the treatment plan.

Going for a second opinion?

Bring the images.
Bring the treatment plan.
Bring the question:

“Is there a reasonable way to save this tooth—and what would that involve?”

Save this before your consultation. Or send it to someone facing a big dental decision right now.

“Wait… why are you taking my blood for oral surgery?”
Fair question. And honestly, one worth asking before the appointment.

PRF—platelet-rich fibrin—is made from a small sample of your own blood. The sample is processed to concentrate components involved in your body’s natural healing response, then it may be used as one part of the surgical plan.

Not magic. Not a guarantee. Just one tool.

A 2025 systematic review found that PRF may support soft-tissue healing and reduce the chance of dry socket after an extraction. Evidence for improved bone healing, though? Still uncertain.

Your procedure, health history, aftercare, and individual response all matter too.

Would you rather hear this explanation BEFORE your appointment—or DURING the procedure?

Tell us below: BEFORE or DURING? And save this for your next oral-surgery conversation.

“Bone loss.”

Sometimes those two words are so loud that everything explained afterward disappears.

But bone loss is information—not an automatic verdict that it is too late.

Bone is part of the support system around your teeth. To understand what a finding may mean, we need more than the phrase itself:

Where is it?
How much is there?
Does it affect one area or several?
What pattern does it follow?
What does the imaging show?

Those details help guide a more specific conversation about what may be preserved, whether rebuilding is appropriate, when removing a tooth needs to be considered, or whether replacement options should be discussed.

Not every situation has the same answer. And imaging cannot guarantee an outcome…but it can help replace fear with clearer information.

Save this for the moment the word “bone” makes everything else hard to hear.

Everyone has one.

That oddly specific spot in your mouth you could identify immediately…even with your eyes closed.

A: The floss spot
B: The cold-water tooth
C: The designated chewing side
D: The place where food always gets caught

These little patterns cannot diagnose the cause. But when the same area keeps getting your attention, it may be worth mentioning at your next examination.

Now be honest: A, B, C, or D?

No explanation required. We already know you have a story. 😂

You don’t have to tell us which spot.
But you know exactly where it is.

The one that smells a little different when you floss. Bleeds sometimes. Or somehow catches part of dinner every single night…no matter what you ate.

When the same area keeps getting your attention, that pattern can be useful information. It may relate to spacing, inflammation, existing dental work, or a recurring food trap—but the clue alone cannot tell us why.

An examination can look at that specific area instead of guessing from a symptom online.

There’s always one spot.

Save this for later—no public confession required.
