These days paying for health and dental care is complicated and expensive. Learn more about Ethical-Dentistry-Reflections-Dental-Care here.
Even more adding dental care to your insurance can be a burden too.
Firstly every now and then I like to use The From The Bunker Blog at The Bob Davis Podcasts to give podcast listeners and subscribers content they can use. That’s why this blog deals with Ethical-Dentistry-Reflections-Dental-Care.
Secondly when it comes to dental care, one of the best recommendations I can make is Reflections Dental Care in Maple Grove, Minnesota.
Reflections Dental Care is known for its patient focused approach. Moreover Reflections Dental Care is owned and operated by two great friends of mine; Doctor Anupam Gatecha and Reflections Dental Care’s business manager Hetal Gatecha.
Doctor Gatecha wanted to focus one on one with patients and that is why he started Reflections Dental Care.
The idea behind this amazing clinic was to reflect his values as a Dentist.
Dr G’s approach is patient focused, rather than market focused.
And obviously that focus turns out to be a big plus for patients.
For example, the Reflections Dental Care’s Discount Plan.
Real talk…Dental insurance can be an expensive and difficult proposition for both the patient and doctor.
The Reflections Dental Care discount plan allows you to pay just three hundred dollars for a whole year.
Included are two cleanings, two x-rays, two exams, flouride treatments and a 15 percent discount on other services.
No insurance middleman.
No haggling over bills.
Because Reflections Dental Care’s discount plan eliminates the middle man.
This is a great plan if you’re just getting started in life.
In addition it’s valuable if you have kids.
And if you have young adults just coming off parents’ medical and dental plans at 26.
Reflections Dental Care’s approach is to make sure you’re getting regular cleanings and visits.
In addition with regular checkups and cleanings your Dentist can deal with issues before they become problems.
Certainly with the discount plan, there’s no copay.
Even more there’s no issues with insurance, when you change jobs.
Friends of Reflections Dental Care in Maple Grove affectionately call Doctor Anupam Gatecha, “Doctor G”.
Doctor G started reflections because his philosophy is to give time to patients,
Doctor G and Hetal say giving time helps Doctor G understand your concerns as a patient.
This genuine concern for individual patients is why Reflections Dental Care exists.
You can see Reflections Dental Care’s concern and attention to detail in the photos of Reflections Dental Care’s Clinic in Maple Grove, in this edition of my blog.
Patients at Reflections Dental Care report that the experience is completely unique and the best they’ve ever had.
Moreover people who refer Reflections do so with high confidence.
If it’s check ups, cleanings, X-rays, emergencies, braces and other dental issues with your kids, Reflections Dental Care is family focused.
To sum up, It’s about the ethical practice of Dentistry and the patient.
Finally if you’re looking for ethical dental care I can also happily refer you to Reflections Dental Care.
Firstly it may be a surprise to some but the battleground states are too close to call. Secondly these days pundits follow each other. They strive to make predictions. Learn why I say this in Battlegrounds-Too-Close-To-Call-Bob Davis Podcast 955.
More importantly for the country, these commentators are setting up false expectations.
Finally I believe we play the game to find out who wins. We don’t call the winner before the game starts.
It should certainly go without saying but we do not directly elect presidents in the United States.
Therefore a media obsessed with national polls and performance ratings is setting us all up.
I don’t do national polls. In addition I don’t talk about approval ratings or name recognition. Reporting on the betting tallies for the election is also out.
To go further we do not use the term ‘accurate’ when discussing polling. I am only concerned with whether the poll’s methodology and structure is reliable.
To clarify the states that will decide the presidency are these states.
In the same vein I check the polls in these key states everyday and I keep seeing the same result. Certainly there are ebbs and flows when it comes to preference but overall it remains a very close election.
For example even though one candidate might appear to have a 3 point, 5 point or more lead it doesn’t mean the other candidate couldn’t close that lead and win with a very small plurality on election day. In addition some polls consistently over estimate support for either the democrat or republican candidate.
Unfortunately and most importantly our media doesn’t seem to understand that in survey research, two, three, five and sometimes six points, could actually be a statistical tie.
Therefore too close to call.
To sum up this is a must listen podcast roughly thirty days away from November 3rd.
It is by no means decided because it’s too close to call in the battleground states.

Firstly have you ever felt like there is something going on? Something you can’t quite put a finger on. More importantly a feeling welling up from deep inside. That’s what There-Is-Something-Going-On-Bob Davis Podcast 954 is all about.
Second I know this is weird. Therefore this is not a ‘fact-based’ podcast. This is about feelings and trusting your feelings or intuition.
Most importantly many people seem to have this instinctive urge to ‘get away’. To ‘Go’. So this podcast is for them.
In addition real estate in rural and exurban areas is hot right now. Lots of houses in the city up for sale. RV’s sales and prices are through the roof.
Seems like everyone wants to hit the road, move to the country. All at once.
Moreover do we listen to our instincts or rationalize them away? And, what happens when we do that?
Meanwhile life goes on. Not everyone can become a nomad or buy a farm.
Finally some do not feel the urge at all.
On the other hand if some feel it and some don’t one doesn’t invalidate the other.
In the same vein I’ll just say I feel this urge strongly.
In the same vein, fill in the blank with whatever mayhem you think we might have to face.
Given what we have already dealt with in 2020, I don’t think anyone can say, “That’s not going to happen”, with any degree of confidence!
In conclusion, I don’t know what I’ll do with these feelings.
Finally I do know that I can’t move on with my regular podcast schedule without getting this off my chest. That is what I do in There-Is-Something-Going-On-Bob Davis Podcast 954.

These days the first thing to know is no news, IS the news. We’ll talk about it in No-News-Is-News-Bob Davis Podcast 953.
First of I do walk and talk podcasts for a reason. These freewheeling podcasts are my way of integrating the ‘heavier’ podcasts I’ve done recently.
Walking and Talking is therapy for me.
Secondly we’re less than 60 days away from what is sure to be one of the weirdest US elections in memory.
As a result of walking and talking I hit upon the idea we’re still being poorly served by all kinds of media in this country.
Above all my focus lately has been reporting on political polls. In No-News-Is-News-Bob Davis Podcast 953 I take a few shots at the so called pundits and their predictions.
Certainly the media has recently rediscovered the so called ‘battleground states’. In recent elections, mostly located in the central US.
We’ve been discussing the battleground state polls exclusively since 2019. In addition, most of the media aren’t reporting those polls properly currently.
Above all this is the place to get analysis on key state polls without the partisanship. In addition I don’t make predictions and I don’t care who ‘wins’ this election.
For instance the feeling we all have something is wrong but we just can’t put our finger on what it is.
To sum up it’s always better to walk through a still late summer night and talk these things out.
That’s what a walk and talk is all about.
(Editor’s Note: I hate it when I have to do corrections, but this was a big mistake, so…Mentioned a Real Clear Politics metric which compares 2016 averages to 2020 averages between Hillary Clinton’s poll numbers then to Joe Biden’s now. I reversed those numbers. Biden is running about one point ahead of Clinton in the top battleground states and substantially better than the former Secretary of State in other metrics. However this doesn’t change how close the polls are overall in the battleground states. But given that I reversed the numbers, the analysis that Biden is running behind Clinton doesn’t work. All the more reason not to do analysis of the polls on the run in a walk and talk podcast.)

First of all spacetime is as much a mystery to me as to anyone else. Learn more in Spacetime-Is-Making-Us Crazy-Bob Davis Podcast 952.
But something happened in deep space recently and it might be effecting us now. Secondly I’ve done a number of podcasts about how nutty everyone is right now.
Finally as I counted down the final hours of Labor Day Weekend and essentially the end of summer these are the thoughts invading my brain!
So join me on the front porch, in the rain, for Spacetime-Is-Making-Us Crazy-Bob Davis Podcast 952.
To clarify this collision happened millions of years ago and we only saw it last year. Find out in Spacetime-Is-Making-Us Crazy-Bob Davis Podcast 952.
However as the light reached us here on Earth, so did the disruption in spacetime.
Even more while these kinds of things are fairly common out there in deep space this collision was epic. Two giant black holes and one giant interstellar shock wave!
And I wonder whether these seemingly benign developments out there in deep don’t effect us here in time. Deeply. The Metaphysical community certainly thinks it’s possible.
However that’s crazy, right?
Not any crazier than people going nuts at Walmart because they’ve been asked to wear a mask.
Therefore consider this explanation for what ails us.
In conclusion human beings are animals, and we are very small in comparison to the rest of the universe we live in. What if we are more deeply effected by changes in our gravitational and magnetic fields?
Likewise there’s no question we’re in a time of change.
Some say it’s social media. Others, electronic energy fields. Chem Trails.
In short, why not magnetic and gravitational fall out from a collision of black holes out there on the edge of town?

(Editor’s Note: In this podcast I suggest modern humans coexisted with Cro Magnon man. I meant to say Neanderthals. And it is documented that so called modern man existed with its closest predecessor. However there is also research that suggests that indeed Cro Magnon may have also coexisted with the more advanced Homo sapiens.)
