South Florida Cosmetic Dentist Describes Dangers of Neglecting Dental Treatment

The Surgeon General’s first report on oral health observes that dental cavities are the most common childhood health problem – 5 times more common than asthma. More than 50% of children ages 5 to 9 have at least one filling.

One of South Florida’s best cosmetic dentists, Dr. Charles Nottingham, observes “We lack adequate access to dental care for many Americans. For every American with dental insurance, there are three more who don’t have it.”

Poor children are two times more likely to suffer from cavities than their more affluent peers. More than 51 million school hours are lost to dental-related illnesses and the corresponding pain can cause problems with learning, eating, and speaking. “We have the technology and know-how to ensure that everyone can improve their oral health, but not everyone has access to it,” notes Dr. Nottingham, one of South Florida’s best dentists.

Adults don’t fare much better. Fewer than two-thirds visit a dentist in a given year. Americans lose more than 164 million hours of work time each year from dental disease or dental visits. Severe periodontal disease affects 14% of adults 45-54. “Smoking and other forms of tobacco use are big contributors to poor oral health,” says Dr. Nottingham, a cosmetic dentist. “Yet many Americans remain unaware of that.”

“Oral care is an integral part of overall health care. Dental visits can prevent a number of problems – such as infections – which, left untreated, can spread to the rest of your body,” points out cosmetic dentistry specialist Dr. Nottingham.

Lloydspharmacy Reveals Five Star Holidaymakers Think They Are Too Posh To Die

According to new research* by Lloydspharmacy’s Online Travel Clinic, five star holidaymakers are needlessly risking their lives when visiting malaria hotspots in Africa, Asia and South America.

It is estimated that over 13.5 million** British travellers have stayed in four and five star resorts in malarial countries with over a quarter not protecting themselves against local diseases. In fact over three million Brits did not bother to check to see if the country they were visiting had a malaria risk.

Worryingly 32% of all Brits believe they are less at risk of catching malaria if they stay at a luxury resort. The Lloydspharmacy research also found that only 30% of people who visit malarial countries take anti-malarial medication for the duration of their trip. A substantial proportion also discontinued anti-malarial medication prematurely when they returned home. Recently Cheryl Cole contracted malaria following a trip to Tanzania – although she was reported to have taken anti-malarials during her trip, it is not known whether she continued taking these upon her return.

According to the NHS website approximately 1,500 travellers return to the UK with malaria every year. In 2008, there were 1,370 cases of malaria reported and six deaths in the UK.

“Mosquitoes have no qualms about checking into luxury resorts”, said Clare Kerr, Lloydspharmacy’s Head of Travel Health. “The belief that staying in five star accommodation somehow provides immunity against diseases like malaria is very dangerous.

“Most UK travellers who catch malaria either do not take any anti-malarial treatments or do not get the right pills for the part of the world they’re visiting. It is important to get health advice before going to an area where there is a risk of malaria or other diseases such as diphtheria, typhoid and hepatitis.”

Lloydspharmacy’s Online Travel Clinic aims to make it as convenient as possible for travellers to obtain the malaria pills they need. After a consultation, Lloydspharmacy’s online doctors can provide a private prescription and arrange delivery of the medicines by post.

South Florida Cosmetic Dentist Warns Against Badly Trained Cosmetic Dentists

Nationally there are over 150,000 dentists, and the number is growing at a rapid rate. However, a staggering quantity of inexperienced students graduate from dental school every year and enter directly into practice. Some of these graduates go on to get specialized training in cosmetic dentistry, but many become general dentists who attempt specialized cosmetic dentistry without the necessary expertise.

A survey by Harris Interactive revealed that 11% of Americans annually (and the number grows every year) received an in-office cosmetic dental procedure to beautify their smiles. High-quality cosmetic dentistry can transform your appearance, but poorly executed dentistry can prove disastrous.

Here’s a shocking statistic from the American Academy of Esthetic Dentistry: over 25% of Americans’ yearly expenditures cosmetic dentistry is spend re-doing and correcting unsatisfactory dental work from a previous visits. “While cosmetic dentistry can be transformative, badly performed dentistry can lead to a lifetime of pain and problems.” says Dr. Charles Nottingham, one of the best cosmetic dentists in Florida.

A report by the Surgeon General found that over 39 million people, or 22%, experience some kind of oral-facial pain in a given six month period. The report estimates that 12.2% of Americans suffers from toothache, 5.3% from jaw joint pain, and 1.4% from face or cheek pain.

Founder of the American Academy of Esthetic Dentistry, Ronald E. Goldstein estimates that 50% of American dental work is spent on cosmetic procedures. Undoing other dentists’ shoddy work accounts for an estimated one-seventh of the over $80 Billion spent on dentistry in the U.S. In a 2004 Wall Street Journal article, various cosmetic dentists estimated that re-doing others’ work accounts for 25% to 50% of their work.

“You need to be a careful consumer of dental services,” Dr. Nottingham, a South Florida cosmetic dentistry provider, points out. “Do your research and make sure you choose a reputable doctor with a lot of experience in your procedures.”

The company’s exhibit at medical conferences provides clinicians a chance to learn about modern advances in medical apparel. Many healthcare professionals unwittingly rely on the myth of the one-size-fits-all lab coat or scrubs, and are pleasantly surprised to learn that a more suitable alternative to ill-fitting unisex garments exists.

“We started Medelita to answer the need for quality medical apparel that, until now, has been a huge void in the industry,” said Lara Manchik, PA-C and founder of Medelita. “Today, only two years after founding the company, I am proud to announce that clinician response to our products is phenomenal.

Medelita Teams with American Association of Surgical Physician Assistants, Offers Member Discounts

Medelita®, maker of breakthrough performance women’s and men’s lab coats, is pleased to announce an affiliate partnership with the American Association of Surgical Physician Assistants (AASPA). The AASPA represents the 9,000 physician assistants, out of 68,000, that specialize in the area of surgery. As part of the affiliate relationship, Medelita is offering a 15% discount to AASPA members on all lab coats, medical scrubs and professional clogs.

“According to the AASPA, surgical PAs play an important role in relieving surgeons as the national surgical residency slots decline,” said Lara Manchik, PA-C and founder of Medelita. “The demand for surgery is growing and PAs are helping to fill the void as institutions produce fewer surgeons. This is a testament to the importance of physician assistants in the field of medicine and we are thrilled to support them. Let’s face it, surgical PAs work in messy environments and it’s difficult to project a professional image wearing ill-fitting lab coats or scrubs with stains. That’s why I started Medelita — to answer the unmet need for high quality, professional medical apparel that clinicians can be proud to wear.”

Made from 100 percent high denier cotton and designed specifically with a focus on fit and functionality, Medelita’s fluid resistant lab coats are treated with Advanced Dual Action Teflon® fabric protector, which allows fabric to repel and release stains. Tailored to fit the contours of the human body, Medelita lab coats feature hidden inside pockets and finished inside seams.

Medelita lab coats are hand-sewn in the U.S. using the highest quality fabrics, most advanced fabric treatments and feature designer touches such as inside seam finishing and contoured shaping for exceptional fit and comfort. Engineered for easy care, Medelita lab coats and scrubs can be machine-washed and emerge from the dryer with a crisp, clean and professional look. Dry cleaning can be used, though is not required.

Makewell Meditour Helps Nigerian Family Find a Facility to Perform Rare Separation Surgery for Conjoined Twins

Makewell Meditour Ltd., a pioneer in India’s medical tourism industry lived up to its tagline – “Connecting you to good health” when it successfully organised the surgery that gave a new life to eight month old, co-joined Nigerian twins.

Makewell Meditour Helps Nigerian Family Find a Facility to Perform Rare Separation Surgery for Conjoined Twins

The eight-month-old twins shared a common gut from the duodenum to the end of the small intestine; along with having interconnected large intestines and blood vessels, the twin girls also shared a common liver and gall bladder. Understandably, the surgery to separate them was going to be an extremely complex one and to a large extent beyond the reach of their father, Emmanuel Adugbe who works in an ice cream factory and mother, Comfort Adugbe-, a housewife.

With the ratio of such occurrences being one in every 1, 00,000, the rarity and complexity of the surgery was not in their favour and the parents approached Makewell – an ISO certified company, in November 2009 to enquire about the medical facilities available in India. The team from Makewell realised that the success rate of such operations is only 30% and conducted a due diligence on what the best route would be while ensuring the comfort and peace of mind of the family with the progress they were making with their research.

Through the company’s networking with the best medical practices, leading healthcare institutions and doctors, most of whom have received overseas medical training and are widely acclaimed for their medical acumen; they ensured complete care of family’s medical procedures at a fraction of what it would cost anywhere.

After months of dedicated search, Makewell presented this case to the Narayana Hrudayalaya Woman and Child Institute, which agreed to conduct the complex surgery. Many surgeons who were part of this had operated on Lakshmi Tatma in 2007, born with her partially formed parasitic twin and had eight limbs. A team of 24 doctors operated on co-joined Nigerian twins, Peace and Patience Adugbe, and successfully separated them despite their complex internal anatomy.

Innovator of High Performance Lab Coats and Medical Apparel Introduces Clinician Scrubs in Black

Innovator of High Performance Lab Coats and Medical Apparel Introduces Clinician Scrubs in Black

Medelita®, maker of breakthrough performance men’s and women’s lab coats, is pleased to announce that its revolutionary female clinician scrubs are now available in black. With the addition of black scrub pants and scrub tops, Medelita offers six colors of women’s scrubs: navy, café, iris, leaf and pool. Medelita also offers a new line of men’s scrubs available in navy (baltic) and black.

“Black was a color that had long been requested by our customers, and we are excited to introduce our clinician scrubs in black, to satisfy the demand,” said Lara Manchik, PA-C and founder of Medelita. “Medelita scrubs are a new paradigm for female clinicians, who, not long ago, were limited to wearing boxy, ill-fitting unisex scrubs. The fact that our scrubs are available in a range of colors and in traditional women’s sizing – it’s no wonder clinicians have embraced them so enthusiastically.”

Medelita women’s clinician scrub tops redefine medical scrubs. Gone is the boxy, shapeless decades-old unisex scrub set. Medelita women’s scrubs have managed to achieve the standard look of traditional unisex scrubs while incorporating innovative design features such as darting at the bust, tapering at the waist and hips and tailored sleeves in the scrub top. The clinician scrub pants feature subtle, slimming bootleg, contoured rise front to back, and flattering seam placement.

Impeccably hand sewn in the USA, Medelita’s tailored scrubs are made with a brushed, cotton and polyester blend (85 percent polyester/15 percent cotton) drirelease® FreshGuard fabric that keeps its wearer dry, comfortable and free of odors. These fabric treatments enable the scrubs to resist piling and fading. Women’s scrub tops are available in sizes 0 – 16 and scrub pants are available in sizes 00 – 14 petite, 0 – 16 regular, and 0 – 16 tall.

Miami Cosmetic Dentist Explains Sedation Dentistry

Nearly 30% of Americans are afraid of visiting the dentist and even will put up with pain or discomfort to avoid dental visits. However, for those people, there is another way:sedation dentistry. It can also be called oral sedation dentistry, anxiety-free dentistry, and relaxation dentistry.

Miami Cosmetic Dentist Explains Sedation Dentistry

Available for both general and cosmetic dentistry, sedation dentistry can be used for procedures from simple cleanings and root canals to complete smile makeovers. At a dental visit you and your dentist will agree on the needed treatment. The dentist will give you a prescription for a drug such as Valium, Ativan, or Sonata.

“Most of the drugs have been available for years and all are safe to use,” says one of Miami’s best sedation dentists, Dr. Kenneth Anenberg, cosmetic dentist from Smile South Florida. “Some of the prescriptions last longer than others, so the amount of time necessary for your treatment will help determine what kind of medicine you will receive. Be sure to tell the dentist about other drugs you are taking and details of your medical condition.”

The day of the procedure, you will take your medicine before the appointment – how far in advance will be determined by how long your treatment will take. You will need a companion to drive you to and from your appointment. When the dentist starts the procedure, you will feel relaxed and, possibly, drowsy, points out Anenberg, a Miami sedation dentist. Most patients don’t sleep deeply unless they’ve been administered general anesthesia, which most dentists don’t provide.

Doctors Recommend the E-bed Memory Foam Mattress

E-bed has been making memory foam mattresses for 45 years, and along the way the company has collected more than a few customer testimonials from medical professionals. Doctors approve of and recommend the CoolTemp visco-elastic memory foam in the E-bed memory foam mattress. Visco-elastic memory foam was developed in the ’60s by NASA to provide orthopedic support to astronauts during take-off and re-entry. E-bed soon developed its CoolTemp visco-elastic memory foam, which cradles the body by becoming softer in areas made warm by the body’s pressure and firmer in cooler areas, where less pressure is being applied. Instead of endorsing a TempurPedic mattress, chiropractor Gordon J. Braun put his stamp of approval on the less-expensive E-bed with this testimonial:

“It is very important to have a good bed that gives you proper support of the spine. The E-bed mattress has the memory foam, which forms to the spine, producing great support and avoiding pressure on the nerves. Many patients ask me which bed to use, and I was never sure of what to recommend. I decided to try the E-bed sleep mattress, and within the first couple of nights I noticed the difference in my body. I had a great night’s sleep and woke up with no stiffness. It is truly a bed that I recommend to all my patients.”

Contributing to the great night’s sleep Braun got was the additional layer of foam beneath the CoolTemp visco-elastic memory foam. It helps provide the lumbar support that keeps the spine in its natural alignment. The E-bed memory foam mattress features high-quality coverings, as well, including 100 percent cotton, silk or cashmere. All coverings are treated to resist bacteria, mold, mildew, dust mites and odor-causing germs. The E-bed also features advanced edge support that extends mattress life and adds 30 percent more sleep surface. It was this feature that sold Dr. Diane Stewart, M.D., on the E-bed over the TempurPedic mattress, no matter how great a TempurPedic mattress discount was offered.

E-bed Memory Foam Mattress Boasts the Orthopaedic Research Institute Seal of Approval

When researching memory foam mattresses, it helps to have an outside source to turn to for an impartial recommendation. Consumers can do just that thanks to the Orthopaedic Research Institute, and it has given its Seal of Approval to only one memory foam mattress: E-bed. These memory foam mattresses feature the company’s exclusive CoolTemp visco-elastic memory foam and high-quality coverings. For such an excellent product, consumers might expect to pay top dollar. They are pleasantly surprised, in fact, when they discover that E-bed memory foam mattresses costs hundreds of dollars less than other popular memory foam mattresses.

The most important part of a E-bed memory foam mattress is its CoolTemp visco-elastic memory foam. Visco-elastic memory foam was developed in the ’60s by NASA to provide orthopedic support to astronauts during take-off and re-entry. E-bed’s visco-elastic memory foam cradles the body by becoming softer in areas made warm by the body’s pressure and firmer in cooler areas, where less pressure is being applied. CoolTemp also uses an open-cell structure that allows air to circulate within the memory foam mattress.

Underneath the CoolTemp memory foam is additional foam that provides lumbar support by keeping the spine in its natural alignment. Everything rests on a steel box spring instead of the lesser quality, wooden box springs used by other memory foam mattress manufacturers. Coverings for the memory foam mattresses range from 100 percent cotton to silk to cashmere, and they are treated to resist bacteria, mold, mildew, dust mites and odor-causing germs.

The result of these many high-quality materials: a cool, comfortable night’s sleep.

E-bed is often compared to the popular TempurPedic brand of memory foam mattresses. Both brands are doctor-recommended, but the similarities end there. A E-bed memory foam mattress comes with a lifetime warranty, while TempurPedic only extends its warranty for 20 years. E-bed has been in business for more than 45 years, and TempurPedic has just 14 years of experience behind it. The biggest area in which the two brands of memory foam mattresses differ, though, is price. E-bed memory foam beds cost up to 65 percent less than TempurPedic.

There are three different collections of E-bed memory foam beds from which to choose, plus two additional eco-friendly memory foam mattress collections. Memory foam toppers, pillows and adjustable memory foam beds are also available. Complete product descriptions and pricing are available at E-bed.com.

Based in Poughkeepsie, New York, E-bed has been making memory foam mattresses for almost half a century. To schedule an interview with a member of the E-bed team, please call 800-478-9098. To order one of E-bed’s superior memory foam beds, call that same number 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Wednesday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday and Friday, and 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday and Sunday EST.\

Fort Lauderdale Cosmetic Dentists Offer Revolutionary Sports Appliance

Fort Lauderdale Cosmetic Dentists Offer Revolutionary Sports Appliance Cosmetic dentists at Smile South Florida Cosmetic Dentistry are now fitting patients for the Makkar PPM sports mouth guard which enhances sports performance.

Lauderdale cosmetic dentist Dr. Charles Nottingham and his team at Smile South Florida Cosmetic Dentistry have recently started offering the Makkar PPM sports appliance, a mouth guard which is specially fitted to each user and has been proven to enhance sports performance. Invented by Dr. Anil Makkar, each appliance is custom-designed and manufactured for each individual. The device aligns the athlete’s head, neck and spine improving balance, range of motion, flexibility, endurance, and oxygen flow during athletic activities.

The appliance works on the principle that the muscles of the face, jaw and neck should be aligned to be most efficient and restful. Most people do not have that alignment naturally and the result can be headaches, neck strain, and cracked teeth. The benefits that users experience are the result of a more efficient neuromusculature, and enhanced oxygen flow through an increased airway. Most athletes see improvement in their performance immediately.

The Makkar PPM products are only available through trained dentists who are PPM-certified. Now the cosmetic dentists at Smile South Florida Cosmetic Dentistry are offering this mouth guard to their patients. The dentists are Smith South Florida thenexamine their patients using advanced technology to see where the muscles and jaw should fall naturally. They take an impression and bite registration of the patient’s mouth and send it to the manufacturer, which creates a customized mouth guard. The PPM mouth guard is a true game changer. No matter which sport, it gives its users an edge over the competition. The mouth guard is used and endorsed by a number of well-known athletes, including Shaquille O’Neal and Terrell Owens, who have their own Signature Series lines of the PPM device. Skier Bode Miller and golfers Scott McCarron and Mike Elkington also sing the appliance’s praises. The New Orleans Saints recently became the first NFL team to get the PPM mouth guard for every athlete — a purchase that may have played a role in the team’s spectacular 2009 season.

“This really is a unique device,” says Dr. Charles Nottingham, a Miami cosmetic dentist & Fort Lauderdale dentist at Smile South Florida. “It can be used by high school, college, amateur and professional athletes. Just about everyone who uses it sees immediate improvement in posture, balance, strength and endurance.
