Dr. Staples has been asked by the Southern Nevada Dental Society to speak at their meeting on March 8, 2011, in Las Vegas. Dr. Staples has chosen the timely topic of "The Change From Want-Based Dentistry to Needs-Based Dentistry." During his nearly 40 years practicing dentistry, Dr. Staples has seen an alarming rise in the severity of dental disease in our society.Dental disease is on the rise across all age ranges due to an increasingly aging population, medications that seniors are being given, obesity accelerating, diabetes growing from poor diet and obesity. The economic downturn is also causing an increase in dental disease possibly due to poor diets and less visits for routine dental exams.
People are losing their teeth, requiring more dental implants, dentures and root canals. Cavities and gum disease are also rising at an alarming rate.
In Dr. Staples' opinion, cosmetic dentistry will always be available and important, but the greater need is to be better prepared to treat the disease and morbidity that has developed in oral health. Dentists will need to retrain their teams to help patients deal with all of these challenges on lower incomes.
