Mr. Laaker, a 24-year regular of Dr. Taylor&#8217;s dental practice in Omaha, NE, was encouraged to put his dental care health insurance to the test locally after being unable to visit Taylor for a prolonged period due to obvious geographical roadblocks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"prbodycopy\">While talking with the local dentist (&quot;Dr. Dorn&quot; of the Gramercy Personal Dental Service), Mr. Laaker was encouraged to switch from a hard-bristled toothbrush to a soft-bristled toothbrush. Apparently the rigourous brushing regimen was beginning to take its toll on Laaker&#8217;s back teeth, scraping off precious enamel alongside plaque and tartar with reckless abandon. <\/p>\n<p class=\"prbodycopy\">Thankfully, due to Mr. Laaker&#8217;s age, the dentist was not concerned about the effects of such scrubbings and insisted everything would be fine unless Mr. Laaker did not adhere to the soft-bristled instructions. (Mr. Laaker indicated that he would opt for the &quot;everything being fine&quot; option.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"prbodycopy\">The good doctor ended the appointment with an encouragement to schedule his next visit before leaving. After finding a mutually agreeable time and date with the receptionist, Mr. Laaker left formulating his toothbrush conversion action plan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(New York City) &#8211; Visiting a New York dentist for the first time, Micah Laaker was given a thumbs-up for his continued &quot;Cavity-free&quot; performance.
