Benefits of Dental Implants

Dental Implants for Tooth Replacement

Your teeth were designed to last a lifetime, but sometimes they don't! Replacing missing teeth is important to your general health and to the health of your other teeth. Not only do you lose chewing ability when a tooth is lost, but unreplaced teeth can cause other teeth to be lost, tipped or crowded and create subsequent problems.

Also, there are the obvious problems of poor appearance and loss of self-esteem caused by one or more missing teeth.Dental implants should always be considered as an option to replace a failing or missing tooth. Replacement of lost teeth with dental implants has been used for treating missing teeth for more than 50 years and is recognized as an effective treatment choice. Treatment is considered more predictable than bridgework, resin bonded bridges and endodontic treatment.

As a patient, you face a difficult decision to undergo surgery to insert dental implants to replace one or more missing teeth. Many practitioners, including general dentists, are well qualified to perform implants, based on their extensive experience and in-depth training. The American Academy of Implant Dentistry provides the answers to the questions you have about dental implants.

What are dental implants?

Dental implants are substitutes for the roots of missing teeth. They act as an anchor for a replacement tooth or crown or a set of replacement teeth.

Am I a candidate for implants?
Implant patients are of all ages and implants may be the right choice for anyone missing one or more teeth due to injury, disease or decay. They are especially practical for patients who can no longer wear removable dentures. Your dentist can determine if you are a candidate for dental implants after a careful evaluation of your dental and medical history.

Are there different kinds of implants?
There are many shapes, sizes and brands of implants available. Your AAID credentialed implant dentist will know which implant is the right one for you.

Do I have enough bone?
It is important for a patient to have enough bone to support the implant. If you do not have enough bone, there are many safe and effective ways to correct bone deficiency. Your dentist will assess this and advise you if additional bone material is needed.

Will this take a long time?
Treatment time can vary greatly depending on your needs. Each situation needs a separate evaluation; your AAID dentist will be able to give you an approximate timetable.

Whom should I consult for my implant treatment?
Your general dentist is your first resource for this service. The key is the implant dentist's training, experience and credentials. AAID credentialed dentists Include general dentists, periodontists, prosthodontists and oral surgeons who perform the surgical and/or restorative procedures.

NEW WHO GUIDELINE CLAMPS DOWN ON INTAKE OF FREE SUGARS
Adults and children should reduce their daily free sugar intake to less than 10% of their total energy intake, according to a new guideline from the World Health Organization.
Glucose, fructose, sucrose and table sugar are all examples of free sugars. These sugars are found naturally in honey, syrups and fruit juices, but can also be added to food and drink by manufacturers.
The World Health Organization (WHO) explain that much of the sugar consumed these days is concealed within processed foods that are not necessarily perceived as "sweets." WHO provide the example of 1 tablespoon of ketchup containing around 4 g of free sugars, while a can of soda contains up to 40 g of free sugars.
WHO also find that free sugar intake varies across global regions. For example, while free sugar intake accounts for about 7-8% of total energy intake in Hungary and Norway, it accounts for nearly 25% of total energy intake in Portugal.
Also, within countries, free sugar intake varies between urban and rural populations. In South Africa, the WHO report notes, free sugar intake accounts for 7.5% of total energy intake among rural communities, but is higher within the urban population at 10.3%
"We have solid evidence that keeping intake of free sugars to less than 10% of total energy intake reduces the risk of overweight, obesity and tooth decay," says Dr. Francesco Branca, director of WHO's Department of Nutrition for Health and Development.
"Making policy changes to support this will be key if countries are to live up to their commitments to reduce the burden of noncommunicable diseases," Dr. Branca adds.
However, the new guideline does not refer to the sugars found in fresh fruits, vegetables and milk, as there is no reported evidence finding an association between adverse effects and consumption of these sugars.
The new WHO guideline is "based on analysis of the latest scientific evidence," according to the organization.
This evidence - rated by the organization as "strong," and therefore appropriate for adopting as policy - shows that adults who consume lower amounts of free sugars have lower body weight and that increasing the amount of sugars in the diet is linked with weight increase.
In addition, children with the highest intakes of sugary drinks are more at risk of obesity than children with low intake of these drinks. When more than 10% of total energy intake is derived from free sugars, there is also an associated higher risk of tooth decay.
Suggested further reduction to 5% of energy intake is a 'conditional recommendation'
However, there are have been few studies on the subject undertaken among populations with low intakes of sugar. There have been only three of these studies on a national population-wide basis that compared the consequences of a total energy intake comprised of 5% free sugars with a 10% intake.
As such, within WHO's evidence-based guidance system, a further reduction to less than 5% of total energy intake is classed as a "conditional recommendation." Conditional recommendations for public health issues are issued by the organization when the quality of evidence may not be strong enough.
WHO describe a conditional recommendation as "one where the desirable effects of adhering to the recommendation probably outweigh the undesirable effects but these trade-offs need to be clarified."
Sugar is a pressing issue in health care right now. In February, The BMJ published the results of an investigation that claimed to expose "extensive links" between the sugar industry and public health scientists.

Teenagers and Oral Piercing - Is it Safe?

Oral piercing may be trendy among teenagers, but the side effects can be hazardous to their teeth and mouth. And many dont take the time to learn about the risks and dangers associated with oral piercing.
A swollen tongue is a common side effect of tongue piercing. The American Dental Association points out that, In extreme cases, a severely swollen tongue can actually close off the airway and prevent breathing. Pain, infection and increased saliva are other common side effects of oral piercings.
Infection often accompanies oral piercings because of the abundance of bacteria that live in our mouth. Hepatitis can also be transmitted through unsanitized piercing instruments and equipment.
Once the mouth jewelry is in place, it can also cause problems. According to the Academy of General Dentistry, tongue piercing commonly causes fractured teeth. Teeth can easily become fractured or chipped from the jewelry bumping against the teeth. This can happen while the teen is talking, eating or even sleeping. A filling can usually be placed if the fracture is small and limited to the tooth enamel. If the fracture goes deeper, a root canal might be needed. In some cases, the tooth might even have to be extracted. Aside from possibly fracturing or chipping the teeth, mouth jewelry can pose a choking hazard if it becomes loose.
If your teenager is contemplating oral piercing, ask your dentist to discuss and examine the side effects with him. If your teenager already has oral piercings, schedule routine dental check ups so that your dentist can keep an eye out for fractured teeth or other problems.

Health Benefits of Potato
Potato’s nutrition are mostly concentrated
in the skin or just under the skin, and best
found in NEW potatoes (the smaller ones).

Description
Potatoes are the edible, starchy tubers of Solanum tuberosum, a plant species of the nightshade family Solanaceae.
They are widely cultivated all over the world, due to their nutritional value and incredible culinary versatility. But potatoes have curative and cosmetic properties as well, so they can be used to treat a wide variety of both medical and aesthetic conditions.
Potatoes come in many different sizes, colors and textures depending on the variety. The larger sizes are mature potatoes, while the smaller ones are new potatoes.
The thin skin can be yellow, brown or reddish in color, while the starchy flesh is usually white or yellow and its texture can vary from waxy to floury. The texture affects how potatoes are best cooked.
Although we don’t eat potato in its raw form, it can be used for juicing and is beneficial for many ailments.

Nutritional Benefits
Potatoes are composed mainly of starch, a complex carbohydrate, and are virtually fat and cholesterol-free. They also contain good amounts of beta-carotene, vitamin A, C, vitamins of the B complex (B1, B2, B6, and folate), potassium, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, sulphur and copper, as well as small amounts of fiber and protein (about 2.5 grams in a medium-sized potato).
Since most of the nutrients are contained in or just under the skin, it is important not to peel potatoes when juicing them. New potatoes are especially rich with all these nutrients.

Health Benefits
Potatoes are nutritious and easily digestible, so they are suitable for all ages. They are diuretic, soothing, anti-spasmodic and help with digestion. Below are some therapeutic uses of potatoes:
Anemia: Potatoes are excellent sources of both iron and folate, which are essential for the production of red blood cells. For this reason potatoes can be used as a natural aid in the prevention or treatment of different forms of anemia.
Arthritis: Like rheumatism, arthritis is an inflammatory condition. The high minerals, potassium and organic salt content in potato makes it one of the best anti-inflammatory food. Slice a potato together with the skin and soak in a glass of distilled water. Drink in the morning before meal.
Burns, rashes and other skin irritations: When applied on the skin, raw potatoes (cut into slices or juiced) have anti-irritating, soothing and decongestioning properties. It can be used to treat a wide variety of skin irritations and conditions, including burns, rashes, as well as skin redness, itching and dehydration.
Constipation and hemorrhoids: Boiled or steamed potatoes promote the formation and passage of soft, hydrated stools. So they can be effectively used as a natural remedy to treat constipation, eliminate bowel straining and prevent hemorrhoids.
Gastritis and gastric ulcers: Perhaps the most common use of raw potato juice is to treat gastritis, colitis, gastric and intestinal ulcers, due to its anti-acid and healing properties. In these cases, to get the maximum benefit from potato juice, it is advisable to drink a half glass of it 3 to 4 times a day, for at least one month.
High blood pressure: Potatoes are excellent sources of potassium, which helps lower and stabilize blood pressure.
Joint and other types of pain: The regular consumption of raw potato juice is a valuable remedy in relieving pain associated with arthritis, gout and even headaches.
Rheumatism: The juice extracted from raw potato is an excellent remedy for rheumatism. It is very detoxifying for a toxic condition. Take 2 teaspoons of the juice before meal for best effect.
Tired eyes: Raw potato is really a useful aid for tired eyes. Apply thin slices of raw potato on the eyes at least twice a day, eyes dark circles will miraculously disappear!
Weight loss: It’s a myth that potatoes are fattening. It is the oil in fried potatoes that causes weight gain. Raw potatoes are an excellent alternative for cereals and grains in any weight-loss regimen, due to their lower calorie content.

Did you know?
According to the American Academy of Periodontology, people with periodontal disease are almost twice as likely to have coronary artery disease (also called heart disease). And one study found that the presence of common problems in the mouth, including gum disease (gingivitis), cavities, and missing teeth, were as good at predicting heart disease as cholesterol levels.
