Congratulations to E. Boettcher of Sun City AZ Winner of our August drawing for 1 free additional year of membership. Chairside Chat with Dawn Lawler:
Most dentists take a starting shade of your teeth before you start. If you're using an over the counter treatment, then ask your dentist to take one for you before you start. (Usually, this takes less than a minute and no appointment is necessary.) Given the fact that your are inspecting your teeth daily to see your bleaching results and whitening results vary from subtle to BAMM, you may not notice the slight changes in the shade of your teeth. I usually suggest bleaching your lower arch a few days after you bleach your upper arch, the contrast becomes apparent. If you still aren‘t confident in your bleaching results, contact your dentist. The strength of the bleaching agent may not be working well for you and they may need to adjust your treatment. If you have a particular topic that you would like Dawn to discuss, please drop her an email by clicking here. Keeping Fit with Jourdin Hendershot:
Upon insertion the client may feel a slight sting or prick, once the needle is inserted there should be no pain. During the treatment if you feel numb, stinging, or any other irritation you need to tell the acupuncturist right away. The typical length of an treatment is between 20-30 min.
To whiten your teeth rub the white inside of an orange rind against your teeth and rinse after a few minutes or you can make a paste using a few strawberries, let it sit for a few minutes then rise with a little baking soda. Those are just a few examples on how you can use herbal remedies that are all natural and healthy for you. If you have questions you would like to discuss with Jennifer, an email by clicking here. Grandma's Kitchen with Grandma C.:
Heat 1 TBSP cooking oil in a skillet. Add potatoes and cook till almost tender, about 15 minutes. Add onion & bell pepper and cook an additional 6-8 minutes. Slice kielbasa into ½ inch slices and add to skillet, cooking only until heated through. The oils from the Kielbasa will flavor the hash. Add salt and pepper to taste. *For a lighter hash, cook the Kielbasa in a skillet by itself and drain the grease before you add it to the hash. If you have a recipe that you would like to share with Grandma C., drop her an email by clicking here. When to retire your toothbrush:Dentists recommend that children and adults change their toothbrush at least once every 3 months. Bristles become worn out and frayed and can actually cause irritation to the sensitive gum tissues around your teeth. Old toothbrushes can also harbor bacteria over a period of time and dentists recommend rinsing your toothbrush out completely with hot water to cut down on bacteria growth.Some dentists actually say that since bacteria can only live without a growth environment for a day or so, they recommend using two toothbrushes and alternating them daily and its also highly suggested that your toothbrush be replaced after you‘ve been sick.

Crazy, Zany Facts We Bet You Didn't Know
Dental Talk - a member blog forum
These are just a few of the topics. Our blog site contains many other interesting topics. Please join us!! Insurance Insight - Indepth Look At Medical Insurance - Part 4 Contrary To Popular Belief…“Last year I had cancer/heart attack/stroke and the carrier raised my rates 50%!”It is illegal for any carrier to raise your health premiums based on your specific claims. Rate increases are based on the overall claims made by the people in your age bracket on the plan you have, in your geographical area (usually based on county or state). You could be healthy and have no claims, or have $150,000 in cancer or heart surgery, and still get the same increase. Is this fair? Yes and no. If you are the one who just had open heart surgery, lost six weeks of work and possibly six weeks‘ income (or your job), you would be the least likely to be able to afford to even keep your premiums going if they increased reflective to your claims. Like living in a hurricane zone - though you may never have had claims related to a storm, everyone gets the hit for hurricane coverage or loss. If a carrier discovers information in your medical record that was not disclosed on the application, and that information would not have resulted in a decline of coverage but would have resulted in a higher premium, the carrier does legally have the right to increase the premium accordingly. They may do it retroactively or when they discover the discrepancy. If the information would have resulted in a decline, they can rescind the policy back to the date of issue, and collect back any claims they may have paid. Remember: this is not because of something the carrier did, but to what the applicant did not do when they completed the application: answer correctly and honestly. Help Savon adopt a family for the holidays $1.00 can make a differenceFor the 3rd year in a row Savon will be adopting a family for the holidays.We are asking every member of the plan to help us in this endeavor by sending us $1.00. Savon will match the total of the donations and the office personnel will do the holiday shopping. Once the shopping is complete, an itemized list of how much was taken in and where it was spent will be available on the website. We hope to be able to start the shopping by November 15th with delivery of both food and presents made by November 24th. The family that we will adopt will be chosen by The Salvation Army and the goods will be delivered to the family by them. Remember: $1.00 means very little to most of us but with the power of our membership, it can make a BIG difference in the life of a family. Please send your $1.00 to Savon Dental Plan Charity at PO Box 6055, Glendale, AZ 85312 and let's work together to make a difference!! |
