Seeing a Holistic Dentist Can Improve Your Health, Prevent Disease, and Help You Live Longer

If you want to be healthy, seeing your dentist is more important than ever. Your oral health has a direct link to your general health. Dental problems contribute to diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer's, and other threatening conditions. Seeing your dentist and hygienist regularly can help you prevent and control these diseases. In this article, you will learn some of the things you can do at the dental office that will help you have a longer and healthier life.

1. Get Rid of Your Silver Fillings
Silver (amalgam) fillings are half mercury. Mercury is a toxin that has to be handled as hazardous waste. It does not make sense to put it in our mouths, especially when we have better materials available. Dentists trained in the safest way to handle mercury will use special techniques to prevent their patients from being exposed to more mercury during the removal process. These usually include using a rubber dam, special high-volume vacuum equipment, and the patient being on oxygen to prevent inhaling mercury vapor. Following these guidelines is very important for someone who has an illness related to mercury or of unknown origin. Of course, you don't have to be sick to look for a mercury safe dentist; my patients prefer these special precautions be taken preventively.

Mercury is also known to expand and contract with temperature, as it did in thermometers. When this happens in teeth, it can cause fractures and cracks. Fractured teeth usually require more extensive treatment like crowns and sometimes root canals. Changing silver fillings to newer materials may protect your teeth and save money in the long run.

2. Microscope Evaluations for Periodontal Disease
We all have bacteria bugs in our mouth. These bugs get into our blood stream when they are swallowed or absorbed. Some of them are harmless, but many of them contribute to periodontal (gum) disease or other infections. There is a direct link between gum disease in your mouth and diseases like heart disease and diabetes, so we take it seriously. In our office we do microscope slides for every patient in addition to checking their pocket depths. This allows us to evaluate the bacteria, use specific anti-microbial rinses or medications, and customize our approach for each individual patient. With this approach we are better able to control gum disease and its threat to your health.

3. ViziLite Oral Cancer Screening
Over 25% of oral cancers occur in people who don't smoke or have any lifestyle risk factors. There are about 30,000 new cases of oral cancer each year and only half of those people are still alive after 5 years. ViziLite screening is easy, painless, and 99% affective at catching oral cancer in the early stage. We know that early detection will save lives. Will yours be one of them?

4. Smiles
Research shows that smiling improves your mood, keeps you healthy, and helps you live longer. Smiles are also great gifts that allow you to brighten someone else's day. If there is anything about your teeth that prevents you from smiling, it can be changed. Dentists can change the color and shape of your teeth or how they fit together. When looking for a cosmetic dentist, be sure to ask to see pictures of smile makeovers by the dentist who will be doing your work. Being able to smile comfortably is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself and those around you.

You can find more detailed information on these and other dental related issues on my website.

Clinical Thermometers and Children's Health

Every household with young children should possess a clinical thermometer. Young children, especially babies and infants, cannot properly describe their symptoms when they become ill. Many childhood diseases are associated with a raised temperature, sometimes inadequately described as a 'fever'.

The term 'fever' means different things to different people and I prefer to refer to a 'raised temperature'. Serious diseases such as encephalitis and viral and bacterial meningitis start off with fairly simple symptoms. Take measles, for examples. Measles can kill young children, and if it does not, can leave them with serious side-effects or complications such as hearing and visual defects, learning difficulties and brain damage.

The initial symptoms of measles are similar to those of a cold. A runny nose, a bit of a sniffle, a cough and eventually a sore throat. Temperature also rises to over 38 Celsius (100.4 Fahrenheit). If you think that your child has measles, or if temperatures stays at or goes over 38 Celsius, you should inform your doctor immediately.

If you do not have a clinical thermometer, you cannot determine the child's temperature! You may notice your child becoming a bit flushed, and may feel warmer than normal to the touch. However, it is far better to be able to measure this accurately. With measles, the temperature starts to drop after a day or two, then increases again as the spots appear and go as high as 40C (104F). You should definitely have contacted a doctor by then, but if you have no thermometer you may not have noticed the increase in temperature.

In many cases the temperature increase is the only indication that your child has more than just a cough and a runny nose. There are various types of thermometer available suitable for children. The old glass type with the kink is not recommended for young children. Digital thermometers are better, though disposable ones in the form of plastics strips with temperature sensitive dots are very useful. One side is self adhesive to stick to the skin under the armpit and the dots change colour at different temperatures. They can be used while the child is asleep and are disposable or re-usable for a certain period of time.

An alternative safe method to this is the ear thermometer which measures the infrared heat emission from the eardrum. An infrared probe is inserted into the ear and the temperature measured. This is safe because the probe is too short to reach the eardrum, and is larger than an infants ear canal. This is the type of system employed in hospitals, and is available for purchase either online or from good pharmacies for from around £30 ($50). Forehead thermometers are also available, and traditional glass rectal thermometers can be used with infants by trained staff.

The second part of this article will give more detail on thermometer types and how they are used, and also discuss 'normal' body temperature and its natural fluctuations.

The Parish's Horde Theme

The trumpet only plays when you engage in actual contact with the zombies. I headshotted a Smoker once on this campaign in team versus. Due to that single, simplistic headshot, he accused me of aimbotting and left the game, ignoring the fact that he was standing still and that Smokers have credibly crafty yet cretinous craniums. Because his original teammates had no fourth player, they likewise left, ending the game prematurely. If you are a good sniper, you are a fun ruiner who likes to ruin fun. Ruining fun is fun. Also yes Rochelle is indeed dual wielding a shotgun in that picture. Belongs to Valve, because only nerds read tags and steal music. What also sadly belongs to Valve is the terrible Left 4 Dead 1 horde theme, with its ear piercing electronic ring synonymous with nails on a chalkboard after being electronically filtered. To extend this description even further, the original related videos showed one that said "Versus: Don't rush!" If you happen to find that video tell the creator I said: "no lol"

Homemakers Would Love This Spacemaker Coffee Maker!

The first glance at the title, you might be thinking about the relation spacemaker coffee maker has with a homemaker. One of the questions might be the difference between this and other coffee machines.

So, what are the differences? I would definitely touch on that later, but first, let's consider the needs of a homemaker. They are usually ladies (although research shown that more and more man are taking up this role as well), that has leave their jobs to dedicate their time and attention in building a good home. To them, anything that can save them time and effort is a great value add. And let me assure you that all coffee machines are build with the intention to assist their owners as best as they can. If possible, they would want their owners to have a push button experience.

We all know that there are plenty of push button for great coffee experience. While spacemaker from Black and Decker is not yet that advanced, it is definitely a coffee machine that would alleviate the woes of most homemakers. Cleaning the counter top is one major headache of homemakers. So, the lesser thing there are on the counter top, the easier would be the cleaning process. Thus, an under cabinet coffee maker, it provides a great value add in this area.

And this is the biggest difference between a spacemaker and other coffee machines. Their design allows them to be tucked under the counter, and this is a feature that only comes with this make of machine. Since we are on the cleaning portion, other than the whole house, cleaning of coffee makers is something that they look forward to for help. And with its easily removable brew basket and water reservoir, this Black and Decker model again provides a value add to our homemakers.

Most people feedback that the most difficult part in taking care of a family is in preparing the breakfast, a good one with time to spend with the family is critical to family bonding. And this is another area that the it can value add. Equipped with a programmable feature, one can decide what time should the coffee be brewed the next morning, saving precious time to concentrate in preparing for the other aspect of breakfast.

Well, after all these information, you must be wondering if there is any specific spacemaker coffee maker that you should check out. Personally, I find the ODC 440 to be very reliable and the features are exactly as what was detailed above. There are probably some other brands of coffee machines that has such a function, but when it comes to under counter, Black and Decker is the market leader, and that is the reason why I am recommending the ODC 440 for this under cabinet genre.

There you have it, a coffee brewer that would reduces your work in cleaning the house and is also a very easy to maintain coffee brewer that comes with the ability to set coffee for the next day, I believe this is one machine that not only the homemaker but everyone would love!

After Hours Care For Kids

www.alegent.com It's almost a guarantee with children. They get sick as soon as the doctor's office closes. Parents often worry about waiting through the night before getting their child medical care. In September's Health Check report, here are the best options. A seasoned pro, mom Teresa Hamilton has dealt with the unexpected, like when her son, who has respiratory issues, had trouble breathing late at night. "It was huge because we wouldn't have known what to do. It was my assumption that I should take him, but I didn't know if I was wasting their time or our time and money so it was a tough decision, but I was glad it was Dr. Brown on call." Hamilton turned to Dr. Larry Brown, an internist with Alegent Health for help. His advice? Consider the child's age. Children three months and younger are treated much more aggressively. And consider what's going on. Head to an emergency room for true emergencies such as trouble breathing or if it's the only option open after-hours. Head to express care or urgent care for things that aren't emergencies, but can't wait until the morning, like a fever that doesn't drop despite medicine. And provide tender loving care for minor ailments that pop up late at night as long as a child is alert and acting normally. "It's difficult for a parent to be able to pinpoint it, but for the most part all of us have that, my child is ill, but this is not really an emergency or my child really needs to be seen and people just need to trust their ...

Easter Chicks, Ducklings, And Bunnies

It is traditional to buy cute little chicks, ducklings, and bunnies as gifts for children around Easter time. Nothing wrong with that - so long as you keep in mind that these cute baby animals will grow up and live through many more Easter holidays, requiring care - food, space, and time.

The easy solution, is not to buy a live animal at all, but one of the wonderful plush toys instead. In general, giving a live pet as a gift is a poor idea. If it is for your own child, consider the animals needs as far as care and whether or not you are able and willing to provide for it. If it is for someone else's child, consult with the parents first about whether they would welcome a new addition to the family.

However, if you do have the time, space, love and money to care for a new little member of the family and are willing to take the responsibility of doing so, here are a few care tips to give you a start.

Chicks and Ducklings

Baby chickens and baby ducks have similar needs. For the first few weeks baby birds need almost constant monitoring. For this reason, a slightly older chick is probably a better choice. The caretakers where you purchase your baby bird should know about how old they are.

Warmth - Baby chicks and ducklings need to be kept warm. Depending on the climate in your location, it will probably be a few weeks before they can be kept outdoors. Baby chicks need to be kept at 95 degrees the first week of their life, 90 the next, and so on, going down 5 degrees per week until they are 4-5 weeks old and fully feathered out. The idea source of heat is a red heat bulb, and you'll want a thermometer in their cage.

Food - Baby chicks have special needs as far as food, and the same is true for ducklings. No, they don't eat the same food. You will want to make sure you can purchase the proper feed for your pets, either where you purchased the pets, or at a local feed store. The local feed store will have a proper commercial feed for baby chicks and ducklings - but some do not keep it in stock past Easter. You will want to ask if they keep it in stock, and if not, purchase enough to keep your chicks or ducklings fed until they can switch to an adult feed.

You will also want to purchase a proper chick feeder. They will lose food tossed into their bedding, and tend to soil food in an open bowl as well as waste quite a bit as they peck through it.

Water - Don't plan on sticking any old bowl in the pen for chicks or ducklings. Baby birds need clean water. Baby birds also have a tendency to soil their water by walking through it, pooping in it, and throwing bedding into it. You will want to purchase a chick waterer from the feed or pet store. It will be built to keep the soiling to a minimum, but for the first four weeks or so you will have to check the waterer several times a day and provide fresh, clean water as often as necessary. When the chicks are a couple of weeks old, they will probably be big enough for you to set the waterer on a flat board or brick in the pen to elevate it from floor level (the water should be at the same level as the backs of the chicks) which will cut down on the mess a bit.

Shelter - For the first few weeks, a cardboard box with ventilation holes and sides at least 12 inches high will do fine as a home for your chicks or ducklings. A round container, such as a kiddie pool is better, as chicks and ducklings might tend to "pile" in corners and suffocate the bottom birds. Plan on giving them about 2 foot of space per baby bird. This sounds like a lot when they are 2 days old, but they are going to grow!

You will also need bedding. Wood shavings, such as the type sold packaged for small animal bedding, is the best. Plan on changing it every few days depending on the size of their pen.

When they are about 4 to 5 weeks old and fully feathered, they can move outdoors (weather permitting). They will then need a coop of some sort, and a pen to roam.

Company - Chickens and Ducks are flock animals. You don't have to buy more than one, but they will be much happier in the long run if you do.

Chicks and ducklings do, however, offer a very special reward for your tender, loving care. Last years Easter chicks will be laying eggs for this Easter's celebration!

Chickens and Ducks live for ten to fifteen years, and the females will lay eggs from about 5 months of age to approximately five years of age. Some will lay for a much longer time, although not as much as in their younger days.

Of course, Easter chicks and ducklings are not divided by sex, which means you will have males - roosters or drakes - as well as females. In the case of the male ducks, this isn't much of a problem. But we all know about roosters, don't we? At about the same time the hens start to lay, the roosters will start to crow. If you live in town, this can be an issue with the neighbors - not to mention the family. Not everyone thinks we ought to jump up out of bed at 3 am - but your rooster will.

In years past, the dye used to color chicks and ducklings often caused them to sick and die a few days after the holiday. This is no longer true, as a different process is used to dye the chicks and ducklings.

This is only a very basic outline of needs for chicks and ducklings. I strongly suggest you either purchase a book for their care, or at least check one out of the library.

If someone just dropped by your house and presented your child with a chick or duckling for Easter (it happens) - set them up with a cardboard box bedded with shavings or newspaper, a light for warmth (be aware of fire hazards and be sure it is out of the chicks reach), a bowl with fresh water, and get to the nearest feed or pet store for a waterer, feed and a feeder, a proper heat light bulb, thermometer, bedding, and a book on care.

There is of course, the possibility that you can keep the baby birds for a few months or weeks, and then place them with someone who wants chickens or ducks and has the facilities to care for them. If you want to do this - that's great - but I would make sure you have the arrangement made in advance. Depending on where you live, it may not be all that easy to find someone who wants them.

Easter Bunny

Aren't those baby Easter bunnies just the cutest? Sure they are! But they grow up into rabbits, and may live over ten years. They do not need quite so much intensive care as babies as the birds do, but their needs in the long run may prove more expensive.

And they don't really lay eggs, you know. ;)

Rabbits do make wonderful pets. However, they are not typically good pets for children, especially young children. If you are prepared and want to add a rabbit to your family, there's certainly nothing wrong with deciding to do it just in time for Easter. If someone just dropped by and handed your child an Easter bunny (a live one), you might have a bit of a problem! Yes, it happens.

Fortunately, most pet stores now carry all the things your new pet will need for his or her health and happiness. Basic needs for rabbits are the same as for all pets - shelter, food, and water.

In the case of a bunny, you will first want to decide if he or she is going to live indoors or outdoors. Domestic rabbits are not as hardy as their wild relatives. A pet rabbit really should live indoors, with or without run of the house. An outbuilding, such as a shed or garage is not ideal - ventilation and temperature must be considered, as well as whether other animals are able to get into the building. A rabbit can actually die of fear from the presence of a predator animal - such as the family dog. A caged rabbit will still need at least few hours a day of playtime a day in a larger area.

Indoors or out, you will still need to purchase a cage, or hutch. Even an indoor rabbit should have a cage for their own security and for times when you may need to confine them. A rabbits cage should be at least five times the size of the rabbit. In the case of a baby rabbit, you'll either want to buy a cage based on his adult size, or plan on buying larger cages as she grows. Your rabbit should be able to stretch out and lay down, and their head should not touch the top of the cage when they stand.

Depending on the type of cage you purchase, you will also need bedding. Cages with wire floors are very common - but also hard on little bunny feet. If you purchase this type of cage, you should layer some cardboard over the wire to make it more comfortable for your bunny.

When you purchase the cage, keep in mind the type of feeder and waterer you plan to use. The best feeders and waterers are those that fit onto the cage in such a way that they remain clean and sanitary. Thus it is probably easiest to purchase the cage, feeder, and waterer at the same time and place. Most pet stores and feed stores will have all of those items available for you.

Your rabbit will also appreciate a place to hide - or have a little privacy. A simple cardboard box with a door cut into that fits in the cage is fine, or you can buy something fancier if you wish.

Commercial feed, as well as treats, are readily available for rabbits these days. However, these foods should be considered supplemental to hay (timothy hay, or grass hay is better for rabbits than alfalfa), and dark, green leafy vegetables. As with any pet, fresh food and water should be provided daily.

If you are keeping the rabbit indoors and giving them the run of the house, you can train them to use a litter box. You will want to make sure you have "bunny proofed" the house. Rabbits chew - a curious nibble of an electrical cord could have terrible consequences.

Rabbits are social animals. Even if you, or your child, spends lots of time keeping bunny company - they would be happier with another bunny friend. Consider adopting two bunnies rather than one. They will be happier for it.

As with chicks, you will find numerous books and resources on the web concerning rabbit care. This is only a very basic outline. You'll have much to learn!

Although I mentioned that with chicks and ducklings you might consider keeping them only until they are grown if you can make arrangements for a new home for adult chickens or ducks - this is less of an option with Easter bunnies. If you are purchasing a bunny, please plan on keeping it for it's own life span. If someone just surprised you with a gift bunny, and you cannot or do not want to keep it, you will find many rabbit rescue groups listed online. Many local shelters also have facilities for rabbits.

Pets are really not suitable surprise gifts for anyone at any time. This goes for Easter chicks, Easter ducklings, and Easter bunnies. They are all cute babies, but they grow up and live from ten to fifteen years. They have needs and require suitable care.

I hope you didn't buy one on impulse, but if you did, I hope you will go on now to see that it receives proper care. If someone "surprised" you (or your child) with an Easter bunny or chick, I hope you will either step up to the responsibility (and perhaps be surprised by how rewarding they are!) or take the proper steps to find them a good home. And if, best of all, you decided months ago to add some chickens, ducks, or rabbits to your family and thought you'd wait until Easter to buy them and take them home, where their cage and hay, or heat lamp and feed are all ready and waiting for them - yay you, enjoy the new additions to your family!
