Dentist In A Box -- The New Healthcare Strategy?

Las Vegas general practitioner Olya Banchik, DDS, who was inspired by her own mother's bout with breast cancer, has stepped up to help women deal with the broken teeth, oral infections, and inflamed periodontal tissue that often result from cancer treatment. In February, Dr. Banchik and her husband established the Smiles for Survivors Foundation to provide treatment for breast cancer victims who have suffered severe oral complications.

A woman who suffered to an almost "unbearable extent" after being fitted with braces by her dentist has been awarded €255,000. She said that as a result of the dentist's negligence she had suffered ongoing, continuous pain and discomfort, distress and unnecessary physical and psychological injury which continues today and will continue into the future.

In his defense, Dr. Bastible denied that he had been negligent in the manner alleged and claimed that Mrs. Hammond was guilty of contributory negligence in failing to mitigate her injuries and losses.

In his judgment, Judge Quirke said that he found Mrs. Hammond to be a truthful and conscientious witness. He said he accepted her evidence without qualification and he added: "Where her evidence conflicts with that of the defendant, I prefer the evidence of the plaintiff."

Fruit/Vegetable Supplement Helps Fight Gum Disease
The results of a preliminary randomized controlled study conducted at the University of Birmingham showed that taking a daily dose of capsules containing concentrated phytonutrients improved clinical outcomes for patients with chronic periodontitis in the two months following nonsurgical periodontal therapy, with additional beneficial changes recorded at five and eight months after therapy. The supplements, which are marketed commercially in more than 20 countries under the name Juice Plus+, were taken daily following nonsurgical scaling and cleaning of the root surfaces of the teeth.

Dentist In A Box is the dental emergency kit for the soldier in the field. For basic everyday dental emergencies, an Australian company has created a re-sealable plastic kit approximately the size of a CD (6.3 inches by 5.9 inches) that weighs about an ounce and a half. It can be used for a broken tooth, lost filling or even irritation caused by a sharp tooth edge or orthodontic wire. With the Basic Dental Kit, a soldier can tackle these problems with a temporary fix until he can get to a dentist.

Dentist in a Box is handy for the soldier in a remote area as well as for the families, schools and people who play sports back on home soil.

Lion's Roar Surprises Science
A lion or tiger can roar as loud as 114 decibels, about 25 times louder than a gas-powered lawn mower. The cats are also aided by the strength of their vocal folds, which can withstand stretching and shearing as air moves past them and the folds vibrate. The size of the animal or the vocal fold, or the frequency of the sound, didn’t matter.
