also known as Search Engine Optimization (SEO) -- has increased in relevance
and prominence for all small business, especially Dentists. The following is a list

DEATH, GREED AT THE DENTIST: AMERICAN CHILDREN AT RISK

American children are being put at risk by inadequately trained dentists who often seek to enhance profits by sedating their young patients for even routine tooth cleaning and cavity treatments, an ABC News investigation has found.

In many cases, even well-trained dentists have been unable or ill-equipped to handle emergencies with young patients.

More than a dozen children have died after being sedated by dentists, according to the Raven Maria Blanco Foundation, which seeks to alert parents to the potential dangers of the increasingly widespread use of oral sedatives on patients as young as 18-months old.

There is no national registry of dental deaths, and some experts say many deaths go unreported or are never officially tied to dental sedation.

Eight-year old Raven Blanco died after her dentist, Dr. Michael Hechtkopf, gave her "three times the average range" of sedatives, according to the Virginia Board of Dentistry.

The dentist had his license restricted for three months and was ordered to complete seven hours of continuing education in record keeping and risk management. He has since retired.

A lawyer for Dr. Hechtkopf said the dentist "regretted" what happened.

Raven's parents, Robin and Mario Blanco, set up a foundation in their daughter's name to urge dentists to be better prepared for emergencies and to warn parents that what happened to their daughter could happen to others.

They told ABC News, in an interview to be broadcast tonight on "World News with Diane Sawyer" and "Nightline," that parents assume that a dentists "should know what he's doing and that's not always the case."

The ABC News investigation found a patchwork of state regulations with some states requiring only a weekend-long course for dentists to be certified in the administration of oral sedatives.

"Who thinks that they're gonna take their daughter to the dentist and never bring her home?" said Ommettress Travis of Chicago, whose five-year-old daughter Diamond died after being sedated prior to have cavities filled and teeth capped.

The Illinois Board of Dentistry found that Diamond's dentist, Dr. Hicham Riba, administered an excessive dose of sedatives to the kindergarten-aged girl and "demonstrated a complete lack of understanding of conscious sedation" despite having performed thousands of procedures over nine years.

Leading dental professionals say sedation for routine procedures can make it safer to work on young patients whose anxiety can make it difficult or dangerous to use high speed drills and other equipment.

But, they say, it takes extensive training to learn how to administer sedation safely and be prepared to deal with emergencies.

"This is something that is being presented to the practitioners, the dental community, as a very easy thing to do, and nothing could be further from the truth," said Dr. Norbert Kaminski, a dental anesthesiologist in suburban Detroit, who has sought tougher standards for dentists who use sedation on patients.

In the last five years, more than 18,000 dentists across the country have signed-up for weekend-long courses in oral sedation that are set up in local hotel ballrooms and promise to add tens of thousands of dollars to the bottom line.

In today's competitive world quality has become a significant factor in anything we do and take up. As a result, when it comes to medical industry quality matters a lot and the role of a medical laboratory technician is something very imperative since it’s all about figuring out the disease from which the patient is suffering from. Since the medical laboratory technicians work with blood samples, specimens, microscopes, and lab equipment quality is the predominant factor there.  When the technicians are recruited for this particular job, it requires a very responsible individual who is well educated in laboratory procedures.

Of all, taking up the services of a certified and qualified medical laboratory group is very imperative. A good medical laboratory should meet the diagnostic requirements of medical practitioners and must help them in the correct way thereby helping them to figure out the exact health condition of the patient.

The FDA has reissued a warning about the use of benzocaine gels or liquids to relieve teething pain for children under two years old. Parents should not use over-the-counter medications containing benzocaine for children under two years old because they are at particular risk for the rare but serious disease of methemoglobinemia, a disorder in which the amount of oxygen carried through the blood stream is greatly reduced. The most severe cases can result in death. Adults with heart disease or breathing problems and smokers are also at greater risk for the disease.

Concern is fueled by the serious potential outcomes and the difficulty parents may have recognizing the signs and symptoms of methemoglobinemia when using these products at home. The symptoms may not always be evident or attributed to the condition. They include pale skin, lips and nail beds; shortness of breath; and fatigue.

Instead of using the benzocaine teething products, the FDA advises to follow these recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics' for treating teething pain:

• Give the child a teething ring chilled in the refrigerator.
• Gently rub or massage the child's gums with your finger to relieve the symptoms of teething.

Another recent study confirms why women should keep those toothbrushes and dental floss handy! A comprehensive review of women's health studies by Charlene Krejci, associate clinical professor at the Case Western Reserve University School of Dental Medicine, has shown a link between women's health issues and gum disease.

Across the ages, hormonal changes take place during puberty, menstruation, pregnancy and menopause. Krejci found female hormones that fluctuate throughout women's lives can change conditions in the mouth that allow bacteria to grow, enter the blood, and exacerbate certain health issues like bone loss, fetal death and pre-term births.

Her overview of the literature was reported in the article, "Women's Health: Periodontitis and its Relation to Hormonal Changes, Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes and Osteoporosis" in the May issue of Oral Health and Preventive Dentistry.

The Case Western Reserve University periodontist reviewed 61 journal articles with nearly 100 studies for a collective answer on whether hormones have a relationship to gum disease and specific women's health issues like preterm labor, bone loss, and the side effect of hormonal replacement therapy.

"There's definitely a gender-specific connection between women's hormones, gum disease, and specific health issues impacting women," Krejci said.

"Although women tend to take better care of their oral health than men, the main message is women need to be even more vigilant about maintaining healthy teeth and gums to prevent or lessen the severity of some of women-specific health issues," Krejci said.

In addition to the brushing and flossing daily regimen, Krejci recommends visiting the dentist at least every six months, and more if there are any gum problems found or women suffer from bone loss or are pregnant.

She added that it is widely known that hormones cause some women gum problems during pregnancy. Women already susceptible to gum disease before being pregnant, she advises, need to make sure that these oral problems are treated.

Although women were once discouraged from seeing the dentist while pregnant, she said that scaling and planing of the roots of teeth to eliminate some gum disease is now recommended during pregnancy for women. Severe gum disease requiring surgery is still generally postponed until after the baby's birth.

Gum disease begins with the build up of bacterial plaque on the teeth and under the gums. Untreated it can cause irritation and inflammation during which harmful and toxic byproducts are released. These toxins erode the bone that anchors teeth and cause breaks and bleeding in the gums.

Collaborating with Krejci on the study was Nabil Bissada, professor and chair of the Department of Periodontology at Case Western Reserve University School of Dental Medicine.

To keep on going accurately and efficiently Perfect functioning of medical labequipment are mandatory. Some of the medical devices that are often repaired and maintained include: Electrolyte analyzers, immunoassay analyzers, coagulation analyzers, co-oximeters, hematology analyzers, and blood gas analyzers. For consistent performance timely and on-site maintenance of these devices are a must.

As far as medical industry is concerned there are quite a lot of roles and it is very crucial that quality services are obtained when it comes to medical field. In this case, lab services plays a key role as they make a diagnosis and analyze the tests and take necessary actions to bring out the exact problem the person is facing. The tests taken should come under the correct notification for the purpose of these tests, and the main lead to this is to scrutinize the condition of a patient so that doctors can make a diagnosis better.
Institutions like Research laboratories healthcare facilities, government institutions, educational institutions and universities should furnish themselves with quality laboratory devices to make even competence in their actions. Sometimes, even the best of gear can go down and this accentuates the implication of laboratory equipment service and maintenance solutions.  Consequently it is a must that these laboratory equipments are quality centered which can produce precise results.

Over the last couple of years the department of dentistry has taken large leaps and bounds in technology there for them as well as in patient care. Due to these advancements nowadays a nice, bright smile is easily attainable for nearly everyone and in some cases if ever the perfection can’t be achieved it is possible to still have major enhancements.

Clear Braces

The most typical treatment in dentistry for any patient is getting braces. But it is shifting fast to becoming clear braces as clear braces like clearliners from clearline ortho are more leisurely and less noticeable while giving identical results in half the duration and doing this all for a lower cost than the standard braces. Clear braces are specially effective in fixing gaps among teeth but clear braces are recommended in some cases for healing of cross bite and underbite. Clearliners will always be custom built for each patient with the use of a 3D image of the teeth which is taken at an previous stage by the dentist.

Veneers

Veneers are tiny covers that cover your teeth and are custom composed in accordance with the patient’s requirements and how bad the teeth are discolored or chipped or how large the spaces in the teeth are. Veneers are usually utilized for the front tooth. The process involves getting rid of the enamel from your teeth and taking multiple impressions of the teeth and those impressions are later sent to a lab where they're worked on to give you customized veneers  which will cover up every one of the gaps and leave you with an ideal smile. Not just this, but the veneers also enhance the strength of the teeth on which these are applied. Normally as much as 6 veneers are used for a single patient to go over the front teeth of both the upper as well as the lower jaw and leave them with an ideal smile.

Tooth bonding

When someone’s teeth are spaced unequally meaning that they have got gaps among their teeth an alternative they've got is using a process called dental bonding. In dental bonding a composite that's the same shade as the tooth is used to plug the gaps and because the color matches the colour of the teeth it gives a genuine appearance. This process may be completed in only one day so it is possible to leave the dentist’s office having a new smile.

As far as medical industry is concerned there are several roles and it is very imperative that quality services are obtained when it comes to medical field. In this case, medical laboratory plays a major role as they diagnose and analyze the tests and take necessary actions to dig out the exact problem the person is facing. The tests taken should come under the correct notification for the purpose of these tests is to scrutinize the condition of a patient so that doctors can make a diagnosis better.

I love to say that beautiful smile is the only light up a person’s lacking light day and just let you run away all your worries so it is normal for people to want to save for later that smile and in spite of the fact that everyone wants to keep safe it only a several pay any concentration to it other than the regular everyday dental practices which promote health and cleanliness like brushing and possibly clean one's teeth with dental floss. Frequent visits to the dentist for checkups isn’t on many people’s to do list these days which is why we often end up with problems like toothaches , miss proper teeth alignment and flake teeth which send us running to the dentist. And there is possibly no treatment feared more than getting braces but all this is changing with products like Clearline Ortho’s clearliners which its range of invisible braces.

For quite some time now the introduction of invisible braces have greatly reduced the fear of going to the dentist for those poorly shaped teeth among children’s, teenagers and adults all alike. A major reason for this the appearance of these new braces. Not typical the metal braces these are totally easily understood so they don’t come into view too important when you are wearing them also they are extremely become diluted so they look even less visible and they feel comfortable. They can also be taken off anytime the user wishes and put back on which is something that can’t be done with metal braces, this allows them to be much easier to clean and require no special brushes or anything. Because of their shape and size and the fact that each piece is designed separately for every user means that it is extremely comfortable and after a week or so of usage you can hardly tell they are even there. As you put the braces on the teeth start to get pushed back into place so after every two weeks or so they have to be replaced with new ones to accommodate the teeth’s new placement.

Clearline ortho introduced clearliners invisible braces it is a product that is designed to be equally effective for people of all ages be it children, teenagers or even adult and unlike when you are wearing the metal braces with the invisible braces you can walk around without a worry that anyone will spot that you are getting dental treatment so a person’s self confidence will not be affected by it in any way and what’s more is the fact that the time for the treatment is half of that for metal braces so get your clearliners today and take your first step towards a perfect smile.

Not only does the human being you smile at feel good but you by your own person sense in a superior way, glad, but most people hide that smile because they mixed up  by it due to having arranged in an improper teeth or gaps between their teeth and similar problems now we all know that braces can fix this problem but majority of people that get braces are between the ages of 13 and 19 and the reason for this is that the grown-up see it incompetent to accommodate their daily lives , specially the business men as they have to take care with people every day and they have to glance their most successfully and having a metal strip in front of their teeth will not help with that , but that’s where the invisible braces come in as the name recommend as suitable its planned to directly deal with the problem which is the way the braces glance and how it does that it is completely colorless so when you use it it’s not noticeable.

Braces can also have a major effect on the person’s believing in yourself  level as having metal braces will change the way people will look at the unique but if he isn’t using the metal braces and went with the intelligent optional he shouldn’t have a problem at all as no one nearby them can tell if they are wearing braces or not, also the material used in making these are softer than metal so they don’t reason the inflammation caused by normal metal braces and unlike the metal braces these braces can be taken off anytime the user wishes for example when eating , this also makes them much easier to clean.

Dear fellows dentists and technicians. It has been a while that I'm wondering how so that the implant manufacturers invest millions of dollars to raise the integration rate from 95% to 97%  and do nothing to improve the accuracy of the implant

impression. By the way, the most accurate result that was ever achieved in vitro is 38 microns gap which is about 4 times worse that the 10 microns passive fit required for implant restoration (Brenemark).

Does the patient care more if he has 97% percent osteointegration or he's going to loose his implant in a very short time due to open margins and horizontal overload? Doesn't our most important goal is to accomplish long lasting restoration?

It's about time to face the real problem and not letting the manufacturers to shift the focus from the real problem which is how to reach the 10 microns passive fit. "Open tray", "Close tray", "Splinting", "No Splinting", "Caps", "Transfers" non of these don't work.

When dentists start comparing their practice with the most successful ones, they’ll notice one thing – good dentists know how to build lasting relationships with their patients. The truth is that patients nowadays aren’t just after the service; they’re after the entire experience in general. When patients are looking for a dentist, they do not just base their decision on which school you graduated from or how long you have been working. They take into consideration on how comfortable and welcomed they feel.

The phone call. Most of the time, your prospects will contact you through your office landline. The wise dentists know better than to underestimate the power of the phone call. Having a cold and indifferent person handle these calls is the easiest way to lose prospects to your competition. Your front office worker should have basic phone call etiquette and genuinely be helpful. By definition of helpful, it isn’t just answering your prospects’ questions but also making things easier for them from booking appointments to suggesting treatments. If your front desk worker isn’t comfortable answering calls, you can always prepare a script for them.

The website. Your dental website is another venue wherein prospects will most likely first know about your practice. But just because you have a dental site does not ensure that you will be able to convert all of your visitors into paying patients. One of the easiest ways to turn away visitors is bymaking website navigation so intricate that visitors feel like they’re in a labyrinth of some sort. If you want to configure your website so that prospects find it easy to call you up or schedule an appointment, take a good look at your navigation tabs and be very particular with the information found in each page. For instance, your Contact page should contain all your important contact information from phone numbers, mailing address, email address and operating hours.

The first visit. The first time that your patient enters your clinic is the most crucial because this experience will help them determine whether they’ll see you again or opt for another dentist. Make the new patient orientation lively and casual. You can ask your receptionist to give your new patient a short tour around the clinic to make them feel more familiar with the entire place and to ease any anxiety that they may have. And make sure to smile and listen to your new patients.
