Perhaps surprisingly, the answer is a definitive yes because these two short and simple habits are extraordinarily good at cleaning out the mouth.</span></p><p><span>Toothbrush bristles, for example, are thin enough to cover most of the surfaces of a tooth (and whatever gaps they can’t reach, a piece of floss can clean out just as well). Combined with a fluoride toothpaste, your toothbrush is powerful enough both to scrub the malignant bacteria and food residue from the mouth and to remineralize the protective enamel on your teeth.</span></p><p><span>Read more here:<a href="http://www.stellardentalllc.com/dental-hygiene-periodontal-health/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">http://www.stellardentalllc.com/dental-hygiene-periodontal-health/</a></span></p></div>Recruiting dentists for a leading brand in the dental industry to create peer-to-peer contenthttps://webdental.com/groups/generaldentistry/forum/recruiting-dentists-for-a-leading-brand-in-the-dental-industry-to2018-07-31T15:20:18.000Z2018-07-31T15:20:18.000ZKarina Santiagohttps://webdental.com/members/KarinaSantiago<div><p><span>Hello!

With the launch of this site, AACD is embarking on a new campaign aimed to help educate consumers about cosmetic dentistry, encourage them in their pursuit to improve their smiles, and to raise awareness of the importance of seeking out an AACD accredited or member dentist for treatment.</strong></p><p>“There are currently many different cosmetic dentistry treatment options for patients, and this website enables the consumer to learn more about these procedures through a less intimidating, more consumer-friendly fun way,” said Dr. Jack Ringer, DDS, AAACD; AACD president 2013-2014. “We hope that the ‘Your Smile Becomes You’ website provides consumers with foundational information that will help them to have more informed conversations about their oral health with the right cosmetic dentist in their area.”</p><p>The website educates consumers on the types of cosmetic dental procedures that can improve their smiles. The website’s content includes:</p><ul><li>What Does Your Smile Say About You? – A personalized smile analysis tool that uses Facebook to determine what your smile says about your personality.</li><li>A Share Your Smile gallery – A photo gallery where users can upload their smile personality and view the personalities of other users that have also used the analyzer.</li><li>“Your Smile IQ” Quiz – A step-by-step quiz to help consumers determine the procedures that could improve their smiles.</li><li>Explore Cosmetic Procedures – An educational section with consumer-friendly videos showcasing cosmetic dentistry procedures available to patients, such as bonding, veneers and whitening.</li></ul><p><br/> The website also features a “Find a Cosmetic Dentist” locator that enables the user to quickly find an AACD accredited dnetist or an AACD member dentist practicing near them. “A recent study conducted by Kelton Research (confirms) the importance the public places on an attractive smile. More consumers are willing to pay to fix their teeth than to pay for weight loss,” said Barb Kachelski, AACD executive director. “Knowing this, we built the ‘Your Smile Becomes You’ website to help consumers understand steps they can take to improve their smiles and to showcase the clinical excellence of our AACD member dentists.”</p><p><em>(Source: Digident and AACD)</em></p></div>FDA Moves To Regulate Increasingly Popular E-Cigarettes.https://webdental.com/groups/generaldentistry/forum/fda-moves-to-regulate-increasingly-popular-e-cigarettes2014-04-25T11:21:38.000Z2014-04-25T11:21:38.000ZCheska Salvatorehttps://webdental.com/members/CheskaSalvatore<div><p>The Food and Drug Administration Thursday proposed regulating e-cigarettes for the first time.</p><p>The agency unveiled a long-awaited that would give it power to oversee the increasingly popular devices, much in the way that it regulates traditional cigarettes.</p><p>"It's a huge change," FDA Commissioner told reporters in a briefing Wednesday, before the official announcement of the agency's plans. "We will have the authority as a science-based regulatory agency to take critical actions to promote and protect the health of the public."</p><p>The proposal will be subject to public comment and further review by the agency before becoming final. But once that happens the rule would impose new restrictions, including:</p><ul class="edTag"><li>A ban on the sale of e-cigarettes to minors.</li><li>A prohibition on distributing free samples.</li><li>A ban on selling e-cigarettes in vending machines unless they are in places that never admit young people.</li><li>A requirement that e-cigarettes carry warnings that they contain nicotine, which is addictive.</li><li>E-cigarette manufacturers would be required to disclose the ingredients in their products.</li></ul><p>E-cigarettes are plastic or metal tubes about the size of a traditional cigarette that heat a liquid solution containing nicotine. That creates a vapor that users inhale. Their popularity has soared in recent years.</p><p>Some have welcomed the trend as a way to prevent people from smoking traditional cigarettes, which are far more dangerous, and to help smokers quit.</p><div id="res306256698" class="bucketwrap internallink insettwocolumn inset2col"><div class="bucket img"><div class="bucketblock"></div></div></div><p>Others fear the devices will addict nonsmokers to nicotine and eventually lead to more people smoking. That has fueled calls for the FDA to assert its authority over the devices. Although e-cigarettes are generally considered much safer than traditional cigarettes, some fear that not enough research has been done to know what risks they may have.</p><p>"We call the current marketplace for e-cigarettes the Wild Wild West," said , who heads the FDA's Center for Tobacco Products. "We will be in a position to ensure that the products are as safe as they could possibly be."</p><p>The FDA had previously attempted to regulate e-cigarettes, but that effort was thwarted in court. The agency recently signaled, however, that it planned to try again. Thursday's announcement will make that official.</p><div id="res306256664" class="bucketwrap internallink insettwocolumn inset2col"><div class="bucket img"><div class="bucketblock"></div></div></div><p>The proposal would also require any new e-cigarettes to get FDA approval before being sold, and demand that current products provide a justification for remaining on the market.</p><p>The announcement stopped short of more aggressive regulation that some critics had called for, including restricting or banning fruit flavors and other sweeteners that may appeal to young people.</p><p>It also won't restrict television advertising and online sales, as some had hoped. But Zeller and Hamburg said Thursday's move is the first step that could lead to such measures if the agency determines that those are needed.</p><p>"This announcement starts the process that will give us the authority to actually get out there and regulate e-cigarettes," Hamburg said.</p><p>The FDA also is proposing regulation of a variety of other tobacco-related products, including cigars, nicotine gels, pipe tobacco and water pipes.</p><p>E-cigarette companies and anti-smoking advocates had just started to review the FDA's proposal. But at least initially the industry welcomed the FDA's plans, apparently relieved the agency had not gone further.</p><p>"We are extremely relieved that all e-cigarette companies will be regulated, and forced to achieve and maintain the same high standards that Vapor Corp., and several of our responsible competitors, have been imposing on ourselves for years," said , president and director of the Dania, Fla., company said in an email to Shots.</p><p>Public health advocates generally welcomed the move as an important first step, but expressed disappointment that the agency had failed to regulate the devices more aggressively right away.</p><p>"This action is long overdue," said , president of the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids. "It is inexcusable that it has taken the FDA and the administration so long to act. This delay has had serious health consequences as these unregulated tobacco products have been marketed using tactics and sweet flavors that appeal to kids."</p></div>Whats in Amalgam Fillingshttps://webdental.com/groups/generaldentistry/forum/whats-in-amalgam-fillings2014-02-18T10:28:52.000Z2014-02-18T10:28:52.000ZSteffany Mohan, DDShttps://webdental.com/members/SteffanyMohanDDS<div><p><span> Amalgam is dental filling material used to fill cavities caused by tooth decay.</span>Dental amalgam is a mixture of metals, consisting of liquid mercury and a powdered alloy composed of silver, tin, and copper. Approximately 50% of dental amalgam is elemental mercury by weight.Dental amalgam fillings are also known as “silver fillings” because of their silver-like appearance.</p><p>When placing dental amalgam, the dentist first drills the tooth to remove the decay and then shapes the tooth cavity for placement of the amalgam filling. Next, under appropriate safety conditions, the dentist mixes the powdered alloy with the liquid mercury to form an amalgam putty. This softened amalgam putty is placed in the prepared cavity, where it hardens into a solid filling.</p><p><span>Dentists use amalgam ("silver") tooth fillings because they're strong and they last a long time -- typically at least seven years,</span><span class="details"> and usually longer.

Many general dentists don't choose...their staff members do...how do you handle referrals within your practice? What factors help you decide who you are referring to? Many staff members recommend certain practices based on relationships over the phone and "treats" received from specialty practices...how do yours decide? Are you referring to the specialists that deliver the same level of care you do, the same goals in patient care, the same educational focus, the same individualized care? Or did you meet in college, golf together, see each other at meetings, belong to the same study club, are in the same building, offices are within close proximity? All of these factors and many more determine whom we will entrust our patients to...which ones do you identify with and deem valuable when referring your patients? Maybe you are unsure, so you refer to several and let the patient choose...do you endorse one over the others? Why?From a specialists perspective, it isn't always about patient care...if it were, many specialists wouldn't be very busy! Especially those ones we hear about from our patients!I would love to hear from you how your office selects a specialist! Thank you for your input!</div>
