Words of Wisdom from Dr. Michael Gibbons!

Dr. Michael Gibbons
When I do a complete oral examination, my goal is to look for healthy, normal tissues. If something appears abnormal, it should be identified. Most health problems start out small. Over time, they grow. If the problem can be identified in the initial stages, many times it can be resolved quickly and easily. If ignored, many problems grow to the point that they can be destructive, painful, difficult to resolve, expensive or fatal.
​

Oral cancer is relatively rare, yet it is responsible for one death every hour in the U.S.A. It usually starts as a small lesion, which is easily curable. As a tumor grows, it gets locally destructive and may spread to other places in the body. If the lesion can be identified in the early stages, chances of a cure are great. This is the reason that I look carefully at all oral tissues when I do a comprehensive examination. Of course, I examine the teeth, but the dental office is the only place where the mouth is examined regularly.
​
In the past few years, there are new devices made to help examine the oral tissues. Companies sell and publicize special lights that are designed to help identify lesions. Whenever I talk to oral pathologists, they tell me that they do not buy these devices and there is no better tool than the human eye with light and magnification.

The idea of repairing small problems before they get bigger applies to tooth decay as well.  “Cavities” start out small. As the decay continues, more and more of the tooth is destroyed.  Decay eventually invades the pulp and causes an infection or an abscess. To resolve the infection, the tooth may require a root canal treatment or it may need to be removed. The cost to repair a simple “cavity” is relatively modest. As the decay grows, so does the cost to repair it.

So, here’s the point. We want you to be healthy. We want you to have teeth that are comfortable, functional and good-looking. We try to prevent tooth decay and gum disease. When there is a problem, we try to treat it early, rather than let it worsen.

We need your help. Let us examine your mouth and clean your teeth regularly. Do your homework: brush, floss, use inter-dental cleaners and avoid sugar.

I just wanted to leave Dr. Michael Gibbons a note to tell him how pleased I have been with his dental care. The last word care or caring defines the person that he is. He has always been available for care. I really am sorry to see him retire. but I know he needs some ME time. Michael, enjoy your retirement. You earned it. The only people that will be sad, are your patients. Phil Bond,MD

I promised Great Dr. Odunga to always post this testimony and I really want to say "Thank You" to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Great Odunga to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it when he told me he would give me the numbers and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream coming into reality. I had won $768.4M. Thank you Great Odunga. Well, his email is [email protected] and [email protected] You can also call or Whats-app him at +2348167159012 so you guys can contact him
