Hello all my dental friends and family out there.
00:00:05.051 --> 00:00:09.311
Welcome back to another episode of the let's Talk Smiles podcast.
00:00:09.311 --> 00:00:14.551
I'm your host, dr Catrice Austin, and this is a bonus episode.
00:00:14.551 --> 00:00:25.855
Guys, I recently dropped a episode talking about navigating the hazards of unlicensedetic Dentistry by Veneer Techs.
00:00:25.855 --> 00:00:27.646
What are Veneer Techs?
00:00:27.646 --> 00:00:30.589
I don't know, because it's not a real profession.
00:00:30.589 --> 00:00:31.925
It's not a real career.
00:00:31.925 --> 00:00:36.070
It is not related to dentistry at all.
00:00:36.070 --> 00:00:40.719
So these people are popping up all over the country.
00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:45.956
They are posing and imitating dentists and the work that we do.
00:00:46.496 --> 00:00:55.941
Veneers have become so popular that people who are not dentists have decided to jump in and learn how to do it in a two-day course.
00:00:55.941 --> 00:01:07.475
And it's not cool because they are hurting innocent patients out there, people like you who are just in hopes of having a beautiful smile.
00:01:07.475 --> 00:01:21.334
And I know porcelain veneers and composite veneers can be cost prohibitive for some people who want to have a beautiful smile, but seeking out a veneer text is not the way to go about it.
00:01:21.334 --> 00:01:26.010
There are affordable solutions to get a beautiful smile.
00:01:26.010 --> 00:01:34.421
So I had the honor and pleasure of joining forces with some of the top cosmetic dentists across the United States.
00:01:34.421 --> 00:01:41.111
We're talking Dr Jared Rosenborough, aka Dr Rose, in Dallas.
00:01:41.111 --> 00:01:47.659
We're talking Dr Cordarius Tony, who goes by the name of Dr Q, in Atlanta.
00:01:47.659 --> 00:01:51.585
We have Dr Trev Thomas in Los Angeles.
00:01:51.585 --> 00:02:02.147
We have Dr Amira in Miami, dr Anthony Price, who goes by Memphis Dentist in Memphis, tennessee, and myself.
00:02:02.147 --> 00:02:06.254
We joined forces for this amazing PSA.
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:08.829
So I wanted to share that PSA with you guys.
00:02:08.829 --> 00:02:12.390
I hope you guys really support it.
00:02:12.390 --> 00:02:13.998
Share it with your friends.
00:02:13.998 --> 00:02:26.472
Share this episode with your friends, your family, your coworkers, anybody who is thinking about getting a beautiful, healthy and confident smile by means of veneers.
00:02:26.472 --> 00:02:32.013
Make sure they make the right decision and they don't support these veneer texts.
00:02:32.013 --> 00:02:33.216
It is illegal.
00:02:33.216 --> 00:02:41.439
We're going to make sure these people end up in jail or their businesses shut down with this PSA and with all our efforts.
00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:44.486
So share this episode, share the message.
00:02:44.486 --> 00:02:49.360
Stop someone from making a very, very bad decision that they're going to regret.
00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:53.639
They're going to end up paying a real dentist sooner or later.
00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:55.929
So why not just do it right now?
00:02:55.929 --> 00:03:00.532
So let's get into this PSA and I hope you guys enjoy it.
00:03:00.532 --> 00:03:01.782
But y'all don't know.
00:03:01.961 --> 00:03:05.350
I am currently going to school to become a veneer tech.
00:03:05.350 --> 00:03:12.625
Huh, oh, my God, bro, oh hell, no, no, oh hell no.
00:03:13.127 --> 00:03:14.972
Stop it, get some help.
00:03:18.381 --> 00:03:22.173
I'm Kiki Ayers and I am a victim of the veneer villain.
00:03:22.173 --> 00:03:23.185
Good evening, guys.
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:28.832
My name is Dr Trevor Jamal Thomas, board member of the United Council of Cosmetic Dentists.
00:03:28.832 --> 00:03:38.280
We, the collective, would like to share with you a few reasons why we unequivocally oppose such actions that value veneers.
00:03:38.920 --> 00:03:45.114
I'm Dr A and we have heard all the buzz about these veneer tests.
00:03:45.114 --> 00:03:48.830
Let me tell you this is not a real job.
00:03:48.830 --> 00:03:50.756
This is not a real profession.
00:03:50.756 --> 00:03:59.551
To do veneer, you must complete an eight-year dental course that requires you to go to school that's right for eight years.
00:03:59.551 --> 00:04:02.429
You cannot learn all this in a two-day course.
00:04:02.429 --> 00:04:07.227
This is actually highly illegal to impersonate a doctor of any kind.
00:04:07.227 --> 00:04:13.747
It is highly illegal to do procedures that are qualified only by a licensed doctor.
00:04:13.948 --> 00:04:14.569
Hey, what's up y'all?
00:04:14.569 --> 00:04:15.050
It's Dr Q.
00:04:15.050 --> 00:04:18.884
Everybody has been asking me about Venebra, Like is that a thing?
00:04:18.884 --> 00:04:19.848
Why is it a thing?
00:04:19.848 --> 00:04:22.742
And it's a thing because people are going to unlicensed dentists.
00:04:22.742 --> 00:04:34.951
They're not taking care of the underlying issue, which is why it's important that you go to a restorative dentist to ensure that you're taking care of your teeth prior to placing any type of cosmetic or aesthetic restorations.
00:04:35.500 --> 00:04:37.708
Here's a big red flag, guys.
00:04:37.708 --> 00:04:51.449
Whenever you see a business that goes by teeth, by veneers, by smiles by, and it's not being offered by a licensed dentist in a dental office, it's not a good idea.
00:04:51.449 --> 00:04:53.004
Don't do it.
00:04:54.062 --> 00:04:57.180
I was around when they was giving booty shots for the low in their garage.
00:04:57.180 --> 00:04:59.848
I grew up from a lady down the street that was asked to do it in her garage.
00:04:59.848 --> 00:05:01.846
So I know, ain't nothing new out of the sun.
00:05:01.846 --> 00:05:06.663
I know, if you think you're a licensed contractor, you feel like you can do everything, but no, not this.
00:05:06.663 --> 00:05:10.646
You feel like you think it's like it's just like nails, it's just like doing it.
00:05:10.646 --> 00:05:12.728
It ain't, it ain't, it ain't.
00:05:12.809 --> 00:05:30.699
You can play basketball, you can play football, you can play golf, you can even play tennis, but you can't play dentistry dentistry.
00:05:30.721 --> 00:05:33.148
Another huge issue that we have with what's going on is the potential for harm and even death to patients.
00:05:33.148 --> 00:05:39.709
As scary as that sounds, these procedures, if not done by a qualified, licensed dentist, can lead to infections in the gum.
00:05:39.709 --> 00:05:41.514
It could lead to tooth loss.
00:05:41.514 --> 00:05:46.690
It could lead to infections that spread into the sinus, even into the brain, which could cause death.
00:05:46.690 --> 00:05:48.786
Yes, it is that serious.
00:05:48.786 --> 00:05:50.807
What if the patient has high blood pressure?
00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:52.206
Are y'all taking blood pressure?
00:05:52.206 --> 00:05:53.665
They taking blood pressure John.
00:05:54.406 --> 00:05:58.086
No man say what if they have a latex allergy?
00:05:58.086 --> 00:05:58.802
What if?
00:05:58.802 --> 00:05:59.142
What if?
00:05:59.142 --> 00:06:00.423
What if there's too many?
00:06:00.423 --> 00:06:00.805
What ifs?
00:06:00.805 --> 00:06:03.146
Right, how y'all know what's going on if they got infection.
00:06:03.365 --> 00:06:04.127
This dangerous.
00:06:04.127 --> 00:06:05.851
Y'all Like, are they numbing people up with this?
00:06:05.851 --> 00:06:10.346
Y'all truly like numbing people up, and do you know how many epinephrine you can give somebody?
00:06:10.386 --> 00:06:11.228
before they just start.
00:06:11.247 --> 00:06:13.012
You know what I'm saying Start getting clammy.
00:06:13.012 --> 00:06:18.706
Man, y'all don't know, man Like for real.
00:06:18.846 --> 00:06:23.072
It's scary to actually deal affordable dental veneers right here in the United States.
00:06:23.072 --> 00:06:25.055
You don't need to see a veneer tech.
00:06:25.055 --> 00:06:34.834
No, you can tap into one of these resources, like Seeking a Cosmetic Dentist that offers payment plan options that'll allow you to smile now and pay for it later.
00:06:34.834 --> 00:06:39.547
Visit your local dental school that offers veneers, like NYU Dental School.
00:06:39.987 --> 00:06:42.773
Now in other news you don't end up paying twice.
00:06:42.773 --> 00:06:55.759
I can't count how many times I have to redo someone's work that was not done properly, and a lot of times people are going to these quote unquote veneer checks and not getting work done properly and at the end of the day you're going to end up paying twice.
00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:59.271
So I urge you, do it right the first time so you don't have to do it again.
00:06:59.271 --> 00:07:00.781
Holler back at Dr Q Peace.
00:07:01.201 --> 00:07:11.930
If you have that drive and passion to change lives by enhancing folks' smiles, find yourself a mentor, a licensed dentist, who can show you how to do dental school and how to get it done the right way.
00:07:11.930 --> 00:07:15.134
Stop playing in these folks' mouths baby Shoot.
00:07:15.533 --> 00:07:17.656
I went to nurse school before I came to dentists.
00:07:17.656 --> 00:07:24.069
It's scary dealing with patients and you're just out here working on people without having this health history.
00:07:24.069 --> 00:07:26.139
It's too many other people to just be working on them without getting all the information on them.
00:07:26.139 --> 00:07:28.586
Y'all, Y'all go mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm.
00:07:28.586 --> 00:07:29.369
Don't do it.
00:07:29.369 --> 00:07:31.726
Don't do it, You're taking the liability of somebody's life.
00:07:31.899 --> 00:07:32.985
They can underline them.
00:07:33.259 --> 00:07:34.081
That's a new term I heard.
00:07:34.081 --> 00:07:51.000
If you didn't know about that, you can't say the D word Underline no-transcript.
00:07:52.338 --> 00:07:58.689
I think he does uh, uh, patty LaBelle and some other artists, but he's now doing teeth.
00:07:58.689 --> 00:08:03.627
I'm just saying, uh, columbia changes charges way less than the USA.
00:08:03.627 --> 00:08:06.540
And you want to know why they are able to.
00:08:06.540 --> 00:08:10.769
They are not actually using real people to make your teeth.
00:08:10.769 --> 00:08:18.475
They are using either composite resin, which is a cheaper material, or they're making your teeth in a machine.
00:08:18.475 --> 00:08:29.642
And, yes, when things are made by a machine and mass produced which is why they all look like the white big chickleties that you guys see all the time it's like one size fits all.
00:08:29.642 --> 00:08:31.276
That's what you're paying for.
00:08:31.276 --> 00:08:53.422
So if you don't care about the artistic portion of your smile and making them look real well, then yes, you could go to Columbia, mexico, turkey, name some of the Dominican Republic and you can pay $1,000 for your whole mouth and it's going to look like the picture that I posted yesterday.
00:08:53.442 --> 00:08:54.144
Do not be surprised Now.
00:08:54.144 --> 00:08:57.456
I'm not saying, cause I get, uh, I get talked about all the time.
00:08:57.456 --> 00:09:03.328
Um, I'm not saying that there are no good dentists in Columbia or Mexico, turkey.
00:09:03.328 --> 00:09:13.639
There are, but y'all continuously go to the ones that charge you like, exactly, they get the CAD cam, uh, veneers.
00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:15.503
They're made by a machine.
00:09:15.503 --> 00:09:20.697
Y'all are going to the ones that continuously ruin your smiles, and that is.
00:09:20.697 --> 00:09:21.841
It's just a mistake.
00:09:21.841 --> 00:09:25.268
You see them making mistakes on the internet all the time.
00:09:25.268 --> 00:09:27.038
You saw King Harris.
00:09:27.038 --> 00:09:36.102
You've seen a whole bunch of people go to a very popular dentist in Columbia and every single time you get what you pay for.
00:09:36.102 --> 00:09:42.604
Melissa the Tartar Slayer, you're going to get those chiclet, too white, too big, too square teeth.
00:09:42.604 --> 00:09:44.005
I'm sorry.
00:09:44.126 --> 00:09:57.916
So I have come up with a guide you guys, if you guys want to find out the affordable places in the United States that do quality work, I came up with a whole guide that you guys can download.
00:09:57.916 --> 00:10:00.744
It is on my website, vipsmilescom.
00:10:00.744 --> 00:10:07.201
It's called Affordable Dental Care in the USA, and I give you five ways.
00:10:07.201 --> 00:10:08.744
You can get your veneers done.
00:10:08.744 --> 00:10:10.467
You can get your implants done.
00:10:10.467 --> 00:10:13.980
You can get your clear aligners done.
00:10:13.980 --> 00:10:18.489
You can get your checkups and cleanings Some of the places I put in there for free.
00:10:18.489 --> 00:10:22.647
Yes, there are some organizations that have free dental days.
00:10:22.647 --> 00:10:33.566
So I'm trying to tell y'all that you don't have to do this illegal dental work and go to people who are doing illegal dental work to get your smiles.
00:10:33.566 --> 00:10:38.517
Graceful Smile Dental Spa says they are damn near practicing dentistry.
00:10:38.517 --> 00:10:41.128
They're not damn near practicing dentistry.
00:10:41.128 --> 00:10:56.328
They are practicing dentistry, they're getting supplies off the internet, they are taking the, they're going to YouTube University and they are getting these people to pay their hard-earned money.
00:10:56.836 --> 00:10:58.822
And here's the part that bothers me.
00:10:58.822 --> 00:11:14.945
I get the calls, dr Amira gets the calls, dr Trev gets the calls, dr Rose gets the calls, dr Gauss gets the calls when it goes wrong and y'all want us to come in and fix it.
00:11:14.945 --> 00:11:20.225
And y'all kind of want us to fix it for free, because you done spent all your money with them folks.
00:11:20.225 --> 00:11:29.275
Well, unfortunately we are here to save today with caution, because you know we don't know what we're signing up for when we take over someone's mess.
00:11:29.275 --> 00:11:38.549
But some of us have a heart and some of us will do it, and you got to know that it is going to cost for us to remove what they did.
00:11:38.549 --> 00:11:43.941
It's going to cost you guys to pay for a new set of veneers to have them done right.
00:11:43.941 --> 00:11:49.562
So not only are you paying for it once, you're paying for it twice and I don't want you guys to do that.
00:11:49.562 --> 00:11:51.682
I care about you guys so much.
00:11:51.682 --> 00:11:53.822
I don't want you guys to do that.
00:11:54.134 --> 00:11:55.941
I worked in Frontier Dental Lab.
00:11:55.941 --> 00:11:56.783
You know we do.
00:11:56.783 --> 00:11:58.839
Frontier is the bombcom.
00:11:58.839 --> 00:12:04.096
Hello, noreen Francis, another one of my patients that made the right choice.
00:12:04.096 --> 00:12:10.856
She made the right choice and she also took advantage of some of the places where you could go to save.
00:12:10.856 --> 00:12:14.423
So I love Noreen because she is wise.
00:12:14.423 --> 00:12:18.429
She makes wise, informed decisions for her and her family.
00:12:18.429 --> 00:12:22.886
So where she could save, she's going to save or her family members are going to save.
00:12:22.886 --> 00:12:27.067
But when it comes to that cosmetic stuff, she's not playing games.
00:12:27.067 --> 00:12:31.083
She is right in my chair, Her husband right in my chair, yep.
00:12:31.083 --> 00:12:37.857
So I want you guys to make wise decisions and if you need help, I'm here to guide you on how you guys could do that.
00:12:37.857 --> 00:12:38.057
Now.
00:12:38.138 --> 00:12:43.817
I did a poll yesterday and I asked should these veneer techs go to jail?
00:12:43.817 --> 00:12:48.470
They should go to jail, I think.
00:12:48.470 --> 00:13:01.826
I don't know what y'all think, but I think these people who are out here practicing, uh, illegal dentistry should have their butts right in a jail cell or at least get a fine, at least have some kind of penalty.
00:13:01.826 --> 00:13:06.057
But right now our dental organizations are not.
00:13:06.057 --> 00:13:08.361
Really I don't know.
00:13:08.361 --> 00:13:09.683
We don't have the regulations.
00:13:10.144 --> 00:13:15.041
I am personally grace, graceful dental spa, graceful smiles dentist.
00:13:15.041 --> 00:13:16.062
Why are you, are you with me?
00:13:16.062 --> 00:13:22.144
Like we gotta, we gotta get some regulations going on here, because people are getting taken.
00:13:22.144 --> 00:13:24.775
They're getting taken for their money.
00:13:24.775 --> 00:13:35.120
They are going through mental trauma when they have to live with the smile where the teeth pop off the the, the smile.
00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:40.081
They look in the mirror right after they're done and it's not what they envisioned and then they are stuck.
00:13:40.081 --> 00:13:42.096
So I'm saying no.
00:13:42.096 --> 00:13:48.548
Heavenly Smiles Mobile Dental says no, they should go straight to jail.
00:13:48.548 --> 00:13:51.157
Do not pass go Monopoly.
00:13:51.157 --> 00:13:53.024
100%, I'm with you.
00:13:55.460 --> 00:13:59.427
I did a poll yesterday asking should these people go to jail?
00:13:59.427 --> 00:14:06.686
And here are the results 90% of you guys who voted said they should go to jail.
00:14:06.686 --> 00:14:08.735
Let me give some horns for that.
00:14:08.735 --> 00:14:11.399
Yes, they should go to jail.
00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:13.745
There should be some legal ramifications.
00:14:13.745 --> 00:14:17.596
There should be civil charges, criminal charges.
00:14:17.596 --> 00:14:18.379
Come on.
00:14:18.379 --> 00:14:26.042
Ada, american Dental Association, new York State Dental Association, all the associations out there.
00:14:26.042 --> 00:14:31.035
We're going to need some regulation because the basement veneers have got to stop.
00:14:31.035 --> 00:14:33.360
It really does so.
00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:37.446
Our mouth is a heavenly smiles.
00:14:37.446 --> 00:14:42.619
Mobile dental says our mouth is a key to good healthcare.
00:14:42.619 --> 00:14:43.662
You are correct.
00:14:43.662 --> 00:14:45.846
Let me give you some love for that.
00:14:45.846 --> 00:14:46.908
Give you some applause.
00:14:46.908 --> 00:14:48.157
You are correct.
00:14:48.317 --> 00:15:02.105
People underestimate the power of a smile and how important it is to have good dental work and to invest in your smile, because you get two sets and by the age of 12, you're down to your last set.
00:15:02.105 --> 00:15:17.229
So how you care for your smile is going to dictate your nutrition, your pain level, your comfort, your ability to eat certain foods, your ability to smile with confidence, your total health.
00:15:17.229 --> 00:15:39.442
That bacteria that's in your mouth like on that picture that I posted yesterday of the veneers that were done by somebody that wasn't a veneer dentist, an actual dentist there was tartar on the teeth and that tartar, that bacteria, travels through the bloodstream and it attacks your vital organs, your heart, your brain, all of that, all of that.
00:15:39.442 --> 00:15:46.946
So when you are playing around with your mouth because you're trying to save a buck, you are getting these optional veneers just only cosmetic.
00:15:46.946 --> 00:15:50.908
It's not a need, it's not a you must have type of thing.
00:15:50.908 --> 00:15:54.167
This is a cosmetic procedure and you're playing with your mouth.
00:15:54.860 --> 00:15:58.230
Listen, I'm just saying I'm here to help.
00:15:58.230 --> 00:16:17.365

All of that information and resources will be down below.
00:16:31.440 --> 00:16:37.460
So, yes, should they go to jail, hell yes, and I'm going to start campaigning.
00:16:37.460 --> 00:16:58.767
I'm going to start lobbying for us to get some regulations in dentistry so that we can protect consumers, because your money counts, your smile counts and we wanna make sure that you have a healthy smile and whenever you invest in your smile, that is done properly by dentists who are qualified, not veneer techs.
00:16:58.767 --> 00:17:01.649
All right, guys, I gotta run to the office.
00:17:01.649 --> 00:17:12.710
I'm about to do another smile makeover, like you know I love to do, and stay tuned for another episode of the let's Talk Smiles podcast and I will see you soon.
00:17:12.710 --> 00:17:13.450
Peace.
00:17:15.592 --> 00:17:16.212
Like is that a thing?
00:17:16.212 --> 00:17:16.913
Why is it a thing?
00:17:16.913 --> 00:17:24.384
And it's a thing because people are going to unlicensed dentists.
00:17:24.384 --> 00:17:36.586
They're not taking care of the underlying issue, which is why it's important that you go to a restorative dentist to ensure that you're taking care of your teeth prior to placing any type of cosmetic or aesthetic restorations.
00:17:37.140 --> 00:17:39.347
Here's a big red flag, guys.
00:17:39.347 --> 00:17:52.599
Whenever you see a business that goes by teeth, by veneers, by smiles by, and it's not being offered by a licensed dentist in a dental office, it's not a good idea.
00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:54.667
Don't do it.
00:17:55.729 --> 00:17:58.159
I was around when they was giving booty shots for the low in their garage.
00:17:58.159 --> 00:18:00.699
I grew up from a lady down the street that was asking to do it in her garage.
00:18:00.699 --> 00:18:01.746
So I know, ain't nothing new under the sun.
00:18:01.746 --> 00:18:03.457
I know if you think new under the sun.
00:18:03.457 --> 00:18:08.000
I know if you think you're a licensed contractor, you feel like you can do everything, but no, not this.
00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:12.001
You feel like you think it's like it's just like nails, it's just like doing it.
00:18:12.001 --> 00:18:14.708
Ain't it, ain't it, ain't it ain't, it ain't.
00:18:17.580 --> 00:18:22.189
You can play basketball, you can play, can even play tennis, but you can't play dentistry.
00:18:26.615 --> 00:18:33.412
Another huge issue that we have with what's going on is the potential for harm and even death to patients.
00:18:33.412 --> 00:18:41.351
As scary as that sounds, these procedures, if not done by a qualified, licensed dentist, can lead to infections in the gum.
00:18:41.351 --> 00:18:42.916
It could lead to tooth loss.
00:18:42.916 --> 00:18:43.987
It could lead to infections that spread gum.
00:18:43.987 --> 00:18:44.363
It could lead to tooth loss.
00:18:44.363 --> 00:18:48.329
It could lead to infections that spread into the sinus, even into the brain, which could cause death.
00:18:48.329 --> 00:18:50.433
Yes, it is that serious.
00:18:50.433 --> 00:18:52.469
What if the patient has high blood pressure?
00:18:52.509 --> 00:18:53.896
are y'all taking blood pressure.
00:18:53.997 --> 00:18:59.753
They taking blood pressure, john no man say what if they have a latex allergy?
00:18:59.753 --> 00:19:00.455
What if?
00:19:00.455 --> 00:19:00.797
What if?
00:19:00.797 --> 00:19:01.960
What if there's too many?
00:19:01.960 --> 00:19:02.480
What ifs?
00:19:02.480 --> 00:19:04.145
Right, how y'all know what's going on if they got?
00:19:04.205 --> 00:19:04.807
infection.
00:19:04.807 --> 00:19:05.770
This dangerous.
00:19:05.770 --> 00:19:07.507
Y'all Like, are they numbing people up with this?
00:19:07.507 --> 00:19:11.981
Y'all truly like numbing people up, and do you know how many epinephrine you can give somebody?
00:19:12.021 --> 00:19:12.942
before they just start.
00:19:12.942 --> 00:19:19.349
You know what I'm saying Start getting clammy.
