Thanks Justin for taking the time to comment on my video. It does seem amazing that not only can I feel these things you mention, but address them as well. Your response is common and I am used to the disbelief. It is very difficult to perform the oral palpation and it is not for everyone. This is why the visualization technique has become so popular, though it has become more like auto mechanics (drug, jack, hang, & power float). It begs the question: What happened to horsemanship?

After 25 yrs. do you still have all your fingers in place?

Wow, thats amazing. How you were able to check for infundibular caries, Supernumerary teeth, slab fractures, wolf teeth, diastema, periodontal pockets, ulcers, cancers, rotated molars.....like this. You sir have been doing this for 25 years?????? What have you missed?
