			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For parents with children under 1 year of age who may not be aware of a very real threat to the dental health of their kids, like ECC, this article focuses on explaining the nature of this condition and tips on how to tackle Early Childhood Caries. By understanding its causes and applying prompt treatment approaches, you can help prevent painful cavities from developing and keep the smiles on your precious little ones intact. Read on to learn how!</p>
<p>ECC is the acronym for a medical condition called Early Childhood Caries, which can occur in tiny tots &#8211; yes, even though less than 12 months old! However, surveys held by state-run healthcare institutions reveals shocking facts about parents being unaware of tooth decay issues that are common in infants, which can have very serious consequences like long term weakening of their affected tooth or teeth&#8217;s development, if left unchecked.</p>
<p>In fact, the AAPD (the US&#8217;s governing authority for child dental care, known as Academy of Pediatric Dentistry) reports percentages as high as 90 for some populations that come under the &#8216;Head Start&#8217; segment for ECC cases. They outline certain necessary precautions for parents with infants and small children in order to prevent the full-blown debilitating effects of ECC, which are produced below for your easy reference.</p>
<p>Causes and Treatment of ECC</p>
<p>The common reason for ECC developing is when a bottle-fed infant or toddler is accustomed to drinking sweetened beverages before sleeping and falls asleep with the teat to the mouth. This may include juice, milk or any other sweetened children&#8217;s drink, all of which can result in transferring nursing-bottle caries to the child, resulting in a severe milk-bottle syndrome.</p>
<p>It should be noted by parents keen on safeguarding their little ones that this is a pretty common childcare dental health threat that affects 3 year olds and smaller kids. So, proper weaning and the practice of drinking from a cup after the age of 1 year and avoidance of nighttime bottle-in-mouth instances particularly, is advised.</p>
<p>During the daylight, when the child sleeps for a shorter time, and is awake for the most part, the constant flow of saliva enables any acids built up on the surface of the tooth or teeth to get washed away, but this is considerably reduced when a child is asleep, which is more likely at night.</p>
<p>4 of the top front teeth are most likely to display ECC symptoms, which are distinguished by chalky white marks caused by acids that decalcify them. Not only do these look unsightly, but also if left unchecked, can be very painful for the child&#8217;s and prevent proper holding space developing in the baby&#8217;s mouth for future permanent teeth.</p>
<p>To eliminate chances of having your child wear braces and other dental problems such as infections, abscesses etc it is suggested that parents stay alert to small children falling asleep with a bottle of milk, formula or sweet liquids in their mouth.</p>
<p>For a child crying excessively, interim relief between sweetened bottle-feeds can be provided by cool water in a bottle. Also, never give a small child a pacifier that&#8217;s been dipped in sweetened products. Finally, on sighting any red, swollen or unusual marks on your child&#8217;s mouth, immediately consult a dental pediatrician.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the increased understanding of our bodies that we have gained from science over the past few decades, the benefits of a healthy lifestyle are becoming more apparent, along with the reasons why we should detoxify the body at least once a year to remove harmful bacteria, and even worms, from our digestive system. </p>
<p>To point out and to reap the benefits of a healthy lifestyle while reducing the risks of chronic diseases such as diabetes.There are 5 benefits of a healthy lifestyle.</p>
<p>Weight:</p>
<p>Managing your weight is the key to attaining all of the health benefits of a Healthy Lifestyle. A weight reduction of just 10 percent will significantly reduce risk of heart disease and other obesity-related illnesses. Obesity/overweight is the second leading contributing factor to many childhood diseases such as orthopedic disorders, sleep apne and many more.</p>
<p>Exercise:</p>
<p>Diet and exercise provide benefits that help lower blood pressure, reduce weight, and lower the risk of developing diabetes. A sedentary lifestyle is a dangerous risk factor for disease. Exercise and a healthy diet helps the body use insulin more efficiently and can help control, alleviate and prevent many diseases. </p>
<p>Wellness:</p>
<p>Wellness is about being comfortable in your space: your body, your attitude, and your environment. A healthy lifestyle can greatly increase a person&#8217;s longevity. And even though catching something contagious like a cold or flu is sometimes unavoidable, having the wisdom that feeling healthy is a better way to live should have you asking yourself why you are not taking action to live each day as beneficially as possible.</p>
<p>Care:</p>
<p>The best way to ensure good health is by taking care of yourself. The care stakes are high but the potential rewards are great-preventing premature death, unnecessary illness, and disability, controlling health care cost, and maintaining a high quality of life into old age. With a healthy lifestyle, you are who you are and you don&#8217;t have to be self-conscious about those things that you otherwise would be if you didn&#8217;t care about your lifestyle</p>
<p>Strength:</p>
<p>Another benefit of a healthy lifestyle is a steady flow of stamina and strength; you can perform activities and exercises that will enhance your flexibility. With a healthy lifestyle, you have a balanced and varied diet that provides your body its needed nutrients and energy as well. You have strength to train to help build the muscle that supports the bones and joints; therefore decreasing the risk of falls and fractures.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One great source for medical experts is technology. It is due to technological advancements that medical experts are capable of correcting and helping different people with grave illnesses. For instance, optical lasers are some of the most wonderful medical inventions ever made during the 21st century. They are used for a lot of surgical methods such as cataract surgery and other eye-related surgeries. Advances in cataract surgery are leading to more and more people experiencing fully restored vision.</p>
<p>Most people are diagnosed with cataracts during routine eye exams. At this point your eye doctor will recommend you see an ophthalmologist, who can determine whether surgery is needed. A study has recently come to light indicating that the wait for cataract surgery after diagnosis could be weeks or months. This same study suggests that significant delays in obtaining treatment for cataracts not only affect&#8217;s the patient&#8217;s quality of life, but it can also be a hazard to public safety in the form of auto accidents.</p>
<p>A cataract is simply a clouding of the eye lens which causes vision loss. The risk of forming cataracts increases with age, but other factors might lead to development as well. Diabetes, alcohol use and steroids can put you at risk. </p>
<p>Cataract surgery is the most effective treatment for cataracts. This type of surgery involves removal of the cloudy natural lens and replacement with an artificial lens called an intraocular lens, or IOL. Prior to surgery, your eye will be thoroughly measured and examined to determine the proper power of the IOL that should be used. If cataracts are detected in both the patient&#8217;s eyes, surgery will normally be done on one eye at a time. The procedure is normally an outpatient procedure and should only last approximately 10 minutes.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.lasikdallas.net">LASIK Dallas Surgery</a> is measured by the results they have achieved in the eyes of their patients they have cared for and allies that they have enriched through LASIK eye surgery and Dallas cataract surgery. For more information visit LasikDallas.net today to schedule a FREE LASIK screening.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral found in drinking water and many foods. Dental research scientists and dentists throughout the world over have acknowledged the dental health benefits of fluoride for many years.</p>
<p>Most people have the misconception the quantity of fluoride they receive in tap water and toothpaste is sufficient. This is not always the case and fluoride therapy may be the solution to a wide assortment of dental health conditions.</p>
<p>Many people are predisposed to getting recurring or secondary decay around existing fillings. Properly applied fluoride can prevent dental decay by forming a more acid-resistant exterior layer and may even reverse early forming dental cavities.</p>
<p>Much research in dental science have shown that just applying fluoride into a city&#8217;s supply of drinking water can decrease its population&#8217;s incidence of dental decay by fifty percent. Starting by the age of six years old, your dentist ought be implementing a strategy to reduce dental tooth decay that includes regular dental checkups, appropriate use of fluoride, dental sealants, along with educating on good brushing and flossing practices.</p>
<p>Fluoride also aids with inhibiting bleeding and tender gums in early gum disease, thereby helping to manage the disorder in the early stages. Fluoride can also help stop re-infection and sustain ongoing treatments in cases of advanced gum disease.</p>
<p>Fluoride varnishes from a dentist is recommended in the handling of dental tooth sensitivity, usually due to gum recession, and have the extra advantage of providing extra protection from dental decay. A dentist uses the fluoride varnish on exposed surface of the tooth root. Fluoride works by blocking the nerve endings on the surfaces of exposed roots, thereby alleviating the sensitivity in these regions.</p>
<p>For those individuals with dentures or dental implants, fluoride can play a vital role in preventing early implant surgery failure by averting the build up of plaque, and in treating bad breath and as well as inflammation from dentures.</p>
<p>Fluoride is not without problems. Too much fluoride ingestion by young children in the form of toothpaste can result in a condition called, dental fluorosis. Dental fluorosis is the discoloration and, in severe situations, the pitting of the permanent teeth. Dental fluorosis usually manifests as a mild or very mild mottling of teeth when excessive levels of fluoride have been ingested while adult tooth enamel is forming.</p>
