Quotes
“In England in the 50’s women were not in dentistry”
“We studied 6 days a week, and lived in silence on Sundays to digest what we learned Monday through Saturday”
“I had nothing else I could think about other than physics, chemistry and biology”
“I was accepted into dental school and there were 7 women, 700 men, the whole thing was a fight because they didn’t want women in dental school”
“I was a little rebel, I made it a skirt and sewed it down the middle”
“The bigger the filling, the more the patient had to pay, I got the same amount, root canals were less expensive than extractions so patients really made an effort to keep their teeth and maintain health”
“No-one was flossing at yet they had the best oral health I had ever seen”
“If a family wanted to come all together, and have a consultation, why not? I am going to say the same thing to each of them”
“I didn’t clean teeth that didn’t need cleaning… why do we do this”
“I’m going to ask myself that next time someone is getting on my nerves… What would Dr. Ellie do?
“He has really white teeth before the whitening era and he was using comet cleaner”
“I did tell a guy he had to go on my program for 6 months before I would kiss him”
“Brushing not about scooping stuff out of your teeth, brushing is to create lymphatic drainage”
“It’s like a garden, if you blowtorch your garden, it’s clean, but it’s not healthy”
