Chairside Chat with Dawn Lawler:
Other patients dislike the feeling of being numb in an area and are uncomfortable with the "loss of control" feeling they get when numb, so they opt to have minor procedures done with no anesthesia. However, when undergoing more invasive procedures, they prefer anesthesia. Needle phobics are the easiest to cure. Generally, they are overly focused on the pain they believe they'll feel when receiving an injection…so, we shift the focus. Once they understand that the 15 seconds worth of anxiety and potential discomfort they MAY receive during an injection is nothing compared to an hour of guaranteed discomfort from the cold water, air and drill…they change their tune. And there are the patients who during a childhood dental visit had a bad reaction to "novocaine" and believe they are allergic to epinephrine and do not wish to use any anesthesia. A simple explanation usually clears this up. Most patients who claim allergies to epinephrine most likely suffer from an allergy to the preservatives in the anesthesia instead of the epi itself. Some patients mistake the side effects or their sensitivities to epinephrine as an allergy as well. The fact is its almost impossible to be allergic to epinephrine (adrenaline) since your body produces it naturally and its required for you to function properly. When it comes to your dental comfort, your dentist almost always is more concerned about you than you are. If you are one of those people whom I've listed above, speak openly with your dentist about your anesthesia concerns. If he feels that your procedure can be completed in a sufficient amount of comfort for the both of you, he may have no issues with forgoing the use of anesthesia. However, always listen to his "If it were me…this is what I would do" suggestions. After all, you don't want to be a pain to your dentist, nor does he want to be a pain to you!

Gestational Diabetes is commonly detected in women in the first part of their pregnancies. (DM1) and (DM2) are very similar because both are considered a genetic disease. Some conditions that could possibly develop with Diabetes Mellitus could be; severe urinary tract infections, kidney disease and eye diseases including cataracts. Type one diabetes (DM1) usually affects people under thirty years old and many times young children. This is usually always insulin dependent. Type two diabetes (DM2) affects people over the age of forty years old and is considered non-insulin dependent. Sometimes if it's not controlled properly with exercise and diet, may become insulin dependent. Gestational Diabetes affects pregnant women in their first part of pregnancy and usually only lasts the duration of the pregnancy. These three types of diabetes can differ in symptoms. (DM1) has symptoms such as vomiting, pain, and rapid breathing. (DM2) has symptoms such as slow healing of the skin, and blurred vision. Gestational Diabetes has symptoms of being very tired, increased thirst, frequent urination and high blood pressure. Different forms of treatment for diabetes is dependent upon which type of diabetes are being treated. (DM1) is treated with the use of an insulin injection, usually with every main meal, while (DM2) is treated with an oral medication. Treatment for Gestational Diabetes would be going to a clinic for regular follow up visits, a moderate exercise program and eating a very strict diet. Optimal treatments for all three forms of diabetes would be to control the glucose in the body, with a well balanced diet such as veggies, fruit and whole grains.

Serve over rice and enjoy! Toothpaste Confusion?With the plethora of paste choices in the aisles of today's drugstores, its no surprise that people get confused as to which toothpastes to buy. So let's break it down for you…in layman's terms.Tartar control Toothpaste: Does not remove tartar, it helps prevent it. Only a dental professional can remove the tartar from your teeth. Whitening Toothpaste: Does not whiten teeth. This is proven. These toothpastes contain a mild abrasive that works to remove surface stains on teeth (all toothpastes are designed to do this) but have absolutely no effect on the color of the teeth themselves. In our opinion this is strictly a marketing tool. Sensitivity Toothpastes: Great for people with sensitivities to acidic, hot or cold, however, these kinds of toothpastes do not work overnight. Repetitive consistent use for about 4-6 weeks is required to feel the results. Natural Fluoridated Toothpastes: Great for persons who do not want any of the unpronounceable additives in their products and alcohol free. All natural ingredients. Baking Soda/Peroxide Toothpastes: Baking soda does not replace fluoride and has no clinical properties that are proven to reduce tartar or prevent decay. Peroxide based toothpastes are primarily best for candidates with heavy coffee or tea stains, as it has an oxidizing effect that helps dissolves those tough stains. If you have any questions about what toothpaste you should be using, ask your dentist or hygienist. They tend to have the most accurate and up to date information on all the dental products out there and can direct you to the one that would be the most suitable for you.
