I know that I have not updated this blog in forever. Busy... But, I thought I would give the privileged few of you who stuck around the scoop on an interesting service I've had the opportunity to play with. A friend of mine is developing a new kind of dieting system, which is not just designed to help you loss a few pounds but rather designed to help keep you healthy (what a novel concept). I

I am often asked, how do I find a good dentist for a fair price?I would recommend you take a look at dental insurance discount cards. A dental insurance discount card/plan gives you access to a wide range of dentists at a pre-negotiated discount price for all dental procedures. My recommendation is to take a look at DentalPlans.com. They allow you to enter you zip code find a dentist and dental

If permanent teeth are knocked out, there is an excellent chance that they will survive if they are immediately placed back in the tooth socket and dental advice is sought straight away. Every minute the tooth is out of the socket, the less chance it has of surviving.What to do: Handle the tooth by the crown not the root. Gently rinse the tooth in milk or normal saline solution if it has debris

Many people have had their teeth bleached, and probably millions more are thinking about it. The desire for a brighter smile with whiter teeth has become popular in today's society and tooth bleaching can be the answer.Tooth bleaching safely lightens the color of the teeth and can last for up to five years. The most effective and safest method of tooth bleaching is dentist-supervised.Generally,

Plaque is a sticky layer of material containing germs that accumulates on teeth, including places where toothbrushes can't reach. This can lead to gum disease. The best way to get rid of plaque is to brush and floss your teeth carefully every day.The toothbrush cleans the tops and sides of your teeth. Dental floss cleans in between them. Floss removes plaque and debris that adhere to teeth and

As a child I used to get terrible headaches. It took years, and many test until it was finally diagnosed as migraine headaches.I recently learned that your mouth can play a role in headaches. An average person swallows 2,000 times per day, causing the upper and lower teeth to come together and push against the skull.People who have poorly aligned bites or missing teeth can have related health

Radiographic or X-ray examinations provide your dentist with an important tool that shows the condition of your teeth, its roots, jaw placement and the overall composition of your facial bones. X-rays can help your dentist determine the presence or degree of periodontal disease, abscesses and many abnormal growths, such as cysts and tumors. X-rays also can show the exact location of impacted and

...or better yet don't ever start.Most people know that smoking can cause heart disease, stroke, lung cancer or other respiratory diseases. However, they don't consider what smoking does at the site where they actually place the end of the cigarette—their mouths.Stained teeth, brown hairy tongue and bad breath are the least of their problems, but few people ever think about what else smoking

Every year thousands of infants and young children suffer from extensive tooth decay. Surprisingly, the major culprits are milk and other liquids from the baby's bottle.Just like an adult's mouth, a baby's mouth is full of bacteria. These bacteria feed on sugars found in the liquids we drink and in the foods we eat. Ungrateful hosts, these bacteria produce acid as a by-product of their feasting.

There is a story running in the UK about an unlicensed practice. The dentist hid his lack of qualifications and medical insurance by hijacking the identity of a dead dentist.Here is what you should know about the qualification to be a dentist in the US:All 50 States and the District of Columbia require dentists to be licensed. To qualify for a license in most States, a candidate must graduate

This is a question I get quite often.Once upon a time, if you had a tooth with a diseased nerve, you'd probably lose that tooth. Today, with a special dental procedure called a root canal, you may save that tooth. Inside each tooth is the pulp which provides nutrients and nerves to the tooth, it runs like a thread down through the root. When the pulp is diseased or injured, the pulp tissue dies.

I believe diabetes is a leading cause of death in the United States and is especially prevalent among African Americans.
