The Economist
The Economist was founded in 1843 as a newspaper focusing mainly on geopolitics, economics, finance, and technology. Since then, it has become a global giant in the media industry. The Economist prides itself on objectivity, integrity, independence, and inclusivity, so when they approached Dr. Meza for his expert opinion, he was happy to help.
The Article
The article focuses on the three main dental problems facing the Mexican people today and approaches Dr. Meza to learn more about what can be done.
Those three issues are cavities, periodontal problems, and dental misalignment, and Dr. Meza stated that in many cases, these problems result from poor diet and oral hygiene. There is also an abundance of sugar in food today that can lead to obesity and diabetes.
He explained,
“Because we have bacteria in the oral cavity if they are not controlled (due to poor hygiene or excess sugars and carbohydrates), they excrete an acid that can penetrate the minerals of the enamel (first dental layer) and create pores…”
With more than 20 years of experience in cosmetic and implant dentistry, he has seen firsthand the result of improper oral care. The opening of Meza Dental’s second location in Cancun means he and his staff will be battling the problem head-on. But then, his global expansion’s main goal was to help more people.
He and his team are ready and willing to forge ahead, restoring health and functionality to his clients’ smiles one person at a time. With recent media attention from both the Economist and Vogue Magazine, they are sure to be busy!
