From infection to transformation in one day!
Patient with failing dentition had all remaining teeth extracted, dental implants placed, and was restored with implant-supported hybrid denture- all in one day. Walked in with infected teeth and walked out with a healthy beautiful smile. Always grateful to work with Dr Anya Rost Fugazzotto Rost & Brodsky and Ira Dickerman Dickerman Dental Prosthetics Lab.

El v***reo a menudo se considera una alternativa más segura a fumar, pero una nueva investigación dental revela que puede afectar gravemente la salud bucal. Los científicos de la Escuela de Medicina Dental de la Universidad Tufts encontraron que los líquidos electrónicos y los aerosoles químicos en los v**es pueden pegarse a los dientes, alimentando bacterias que producen ácido y debilitan gradualmente el esmalte.

Los dentistas están notando un patrón distinto llamado "v**e caries", donde superficies de dientes lisas desarrollan una rápida avería del esmalte. Estos residuos pegajosos se asemejan al efecto del refresco o el jarabe, lo que conduce a lo largo del tiempo a caries, sensibilidad elevada e irritación de las encías, incluso en individuos jóvenes, por lo demás sanos.

Parte del riesgo del v***r reside en su sutileza. Sin humo, olor o molestias inmediatas, el daño ocurre silenciosamente a un nivel microscópico. La seca de boca inducida por nicotina fomenta aún más el crecimiento bacteriano, acelerando la caries dental.

This lung damage from e-cigarettes is permanent — and entirely preventable.

Flavored e-cigarettes, often marketed with candy-like appeal, may be far more dangerous than they seem.

A recent case involving a U.S. teenager who developed bronchiolitis obliterans—commonly known as “popcorn lung”—after three years of secret va**ng highlights the alarming risks. This irreversible condition scars the lungs' smallest airways, leading to chronic coughing, wheezing, and lifelong breathing difficulties. Once linked to diacetyl exposure in popcorn factories, the disease is now reemerging in connection with the chemicals found in e-cigarette v***rs, particularly flavoring agents that become toxic when heated and inhaled.

With more than 180 flavoring chemicals used in e-liquids—many untested for inhalation—experts are sounding the alarm. While these substances may be safe to eat, the body’s natural defenses are bypassed when they are inhaled, potentially delivering toxic compounds directly into the lungs and bloodstream. The case has sparked renewed calls for tighter regulation and greater public awareness, especially among teens. As the va**ng trend continues, the long-term health consequences are becoming tragically clear: inhaling sweet flavors may come at the cost of permanent lung damage.
