<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><p>In simple terms, SODA equals ACID and ACID eats away at the enamel on your teeth. Seriously - haven&#39;t you seen those <a class="zem_slink" href="http://dsc.discovery.com/tv/mythbusters/" rel="hulu" target="_blank" title="Mythbusters">Myth Busters</a> guys show you what Coca Cola can do to a nail when you put it in the glass? &#0160;This video is so dramatic, it&#39;s almost campy - but IT IS TRUE - after a few days it will disolve the nail. We know you don&#39;t have nails in your mouth. &#0160;Did you know that some of the most popular sodas have acidic levels similar to that of a car battery? &#0160;The goal is to have them closer to WATER - PLAIN WATER. &#0160;This focused on soda - wondering where coffee fits in this acid test. That will be another post.</p>
<p>FACT: 1 can of soda rquires 32 glasses of water to neutralize the acidity. &#0160;Most people don&#39;t get 8 glasses of water a day, so how can you stay alkaline if you&#39;re drinking 1 can of soda a day, or even 3 times a week? you&#39;ll never catch up! &#0160;The fix is easy - STOP DRINKING SODA and sugary drinks, brush frequently for two minutes each time. &#0160;YES - TWO (2) minutes!</p>
<iframe frameborder="0" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/_odinOuF1fw?rel=0" width="300"></iframe>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>How do your favorite drinks compare to battery acid?</strong></h2>
<p>

<p>If you have a tooth in coke,&#0160;a tooth does disolve in coke only when it has the fizz and stains them, 
but when its flat it only stains. So if you have too many cokes your 
teeth will go black and will look horrible and will be all out of place.
 If anything, only drink flat coke as it will get rid of one of the 
effects. Just kidding - it&#39;s awful for your body - especially your teeth. Even Diet drinks are bad for you. &#0160;This experiment is with an egg because an eggshell is similar in properties to your tooth.</p>

&lt;div&gt;The more candy they collect and leave for him, the bigger and better the present will be! &amp;nbsp;My kids know this is strictly a volunteer program unlike Christmas/Easter and so only the kids that want to participate get to be visited by the Great Pumpkin! &amp;nbsp;This has proven to be such an easy way to get the candy to disappear as quickly as possible after Halloween. My kids now remind ME that the Great Pumpkin is coming!!&lt;/div&gt;

Celebrity dentist Raymond Frye, DMD, of Bling Dental Products, introduced the Jager iOsonic Pink. The Jager is unlike any other electronic toothbrush, incorporating existing ultrasonic and cutting edge ionic repoloarization technologies into one powerful weapon.&#0160;<br /><br />Care for your smile and join Dr. Raymond in the fight for a cure by purchasing a Jager iOsonic Pink. Proceeds from sales of the brush will be donated to breast cancer prevention, and the brush makes a nice gift for any woman who&#39;s been affected by breast cancer.<br /><br />This special introductory offer is good through October. The Jager iOsonic Pink toothbrush costs $59, plus shipping and handling, and is regularly $229.

<p>University of Portland, Portland, Oregon<br />Creighton University School of Dentristry,<br />Omaha , Nebraska 2003</p>
<div></div>
<p><em>&quot;What I enjoy the most about being a dentist is the time I get to  spend building personal connections with my clients. Not only do I get  to help alleviate their dental fears, fixing what is hurting them and  improving their oral health and self-confidence, I also get to be a part  of their lives, just like they are a part of mine!&quot;</em></p>
<p>Dr. Michael Yesenofski grew up in the friendly Western suburbs of  Portland, Oregon. He attended Jesuit High School and the University of  Portland, where he received his B.S. Degree, majoring in biology and  minoring in chemistry. His interest in dentistry began in high school,  grew in college, and eventually led him to Omaha, Nebraska.</p>
<p>Dr. Yesenofski, or Dr. Mike as he likes to be called, received  his D.D.S. from Creighton University in Omaha in 2003. Although he  enjoyed his time in the Midwest and received a first rate education  there, he always knew that he would return to Oregon. Dr. Mike enjoys  educating his patients on their oral health and treatment options, as  well as working with them to overcome any dental anxiety they might  have. According to Dr. Mike, <em>&quot;Trust is the most important ingredient in the doctor-patient  relationship, and it is a very rewarding feeling when the once nervous  patient trusts you enough to fall asleep in your chair during a  procedure.&quot;</em></p>
<p>Dr. Mike continues to stay updated on recent research and changes  in the field of dentistry through continuing education courses, and has  received advanced training in the areas of implants, esthetic  management, occlusion, and Invisalign treatment, just to name a few.</p>
<p>Dr. Mike enjoys writing and playing music, fishing, and  traveling. He has traveled to Europe, Asia, and the Caribbean, and he  looks forward to visiting other parts of the world.</p></div>

<p>WITH AN AFFINITY FOR THE ARTISTRY OF COSMETIC DENTISTRY, DR. RAYMOND FRYE DELIVERS BEAUTIFUL SMILES DAILY FROM HIS ECO-FRIENDLY OFFICE IN THE PEARL DISTRICT OF PORTLAND, OREGON. DR. RAYMOND PROVIDES A SLEEK, SPA-LIKE ATMOSPHERE THAT FOSTERS CONFIDENCE IN PATIENTS AND “MAKES IT COOL TO COME TO THE DENTIST.” WHILE DR. RAYMOND HAS FAMOUS CLIENTS, HE ENSURES THAT EVERYONE IS TREATED LIKE A CELEBRITY AT <a href="http://www.blingdental.com" target="_self">BLING DENTAL SPA</a></p>
<h3>Ask Dr. Raymond Frye:</h3>
<p><strong>HOW DO YOU BEST EDUCATE PATIENTS?</strong> <br />We use one-on-one patient education including intra-oral cameras, full screen digital X-rays, smile simulators and our portfolio of before-and-after photography to help the patient choose their new smile. We also use social media, such as <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BlingDentalSpa" target="_blank">Facebook</a> and<a href="http://www.twitter.com/blingdental" target="_blank"> Twitter,</a> for educational purposes.</p>
<p><br /><strong>HOW DO YOU CALM ANXIOUS PATIENTS?</strong> <br />Most of our patients start out thinking they are more anxious than they really are. Our goal is to change their mindset by replacing previous, negative dental experiences with new positive ones. We offer conscious oral sedation and provide a menu of options to each patient to help calm them during the procedure.</p>
<p><br /><strong>HOW DOES YOUR STAFF CONTRIBUTE TO A MORE PLEASANT PATIENT EXPERIENCE?</strong> <br />We all share a common internal core value: to do our very best and create the most pleasant dental experience possible for each and every patient.</p>
<p><br /><strong>WHAT DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS DO YOU AND YOUR PRACTICE OFFER?</strong> <br />Each patient is treated in a private suite that is equipped with overhead flatscreen TVs with headphones, luxurious chairs with built-in massagers, digital radiography to dramatically reduce radiation exposure, warm spa towels as well as comforting patient blankets</p>
<p><strong>WHAT ATTRACTED YOU TO COSMETIC DENTISTRY?</strong><br />I have always been an artist. What better canvas than a human being? It doesn’t matter who you are or what you look like—a great smile can make you more beautiful.</p>
<p><br /><strong>WHAT NEW PROJECT ARE YOU EXCITED ABOUT?</strong><br />I’m excited to be launching a new toothbrush, the <a href="http://blingdentalproducts.com/categories/Bling-Dental-Products/Diamond-Toothbrush/" target="_blank" title="ultrasonic toothbrush with uv sanitizer">Diamond Elite Ultrasonic</a>. It’s powerful, with 30,000 brush strokes per minute, but it also has an auto timer to prevent you from over brushing. Also unique is the ultraviolet sanitizer it comes with that keeps the brush heads clean. On top of all <br />that, it’s waterproof, ergonomic and easy to use.</p>
<p><br /><strong>WHAT HEALTH AND BEAUTY TIP CAN YOU PROVIDE?</strong><br />Remove soft drinks from your diet. The acidity level of most soda pop is close to battery acid and destroys teeth. If you must drink soda pop, then drink it fast and then rinse with water right away.</p>
<p><br /><strong>DO YOU PERFORM ANY PRO-BONO WORK?</strong><br />I recently returned from Brazil, where our team of 10 volunteers performed 500 dental procedures in four days. We are already planning our next trip back to the village. We have also begun a nonprofit organization, “Bling For Life,” to raise money to prevent teenage suicide.</p></div>

<p>TL: Deidre Hall from Days of Our Lives, Amber Benson and Wes Ramsey from  one of my favorite movies - Latter Days, and several teen stars from my  son&#39;s favorite shows - especially Boo Boo Stewart who plays Seth in  Twilight.</p>
<p>&#0160;</p>
<p><strong>SF: What surprised you the most about the weekend?</strong></p>
<p>TL: It was fun to meet a lot of teen stars that I see on the shows my  sons watch all the time - Shake It Up, So Random, Good Luck Charlie,  Bucket and Skinner, Phineas and Ferb, and others.<br />Also staying at the hotel where Whitney Houston died - I saw the memorial that people had created outside the hotel - very sad.</p>
<p>&#0160;</p>
<p><strong>SF: Who was your favorite other products/companies that you shared this event with?</strong></p>
<p>TL:&#0160; Surface Hair products - they were very nice and asked me to use  their products and let them do my hair one morning. They asked if I  would be a hair model for them when them come to the NW. I also really  like the Pandora jewelry.</p>
<p>&#0160;</p>

<p><strong>SF: What was the best moment of the weekend?</strong></p>
<p>TL: Deidre Hall asking if I watched her show, and then if I wanted to  take a picture with her. Also sharing with Wes Ramsey and Amber Benson  how much their work on Latter Days meant to me.</p>
<p>Finally, watching people react to our Blinged Out Diamond with the  Swarovski Crystals - it definitely caught their eyes and was a great  point of discussion.</p></div>
