Will eating dairy products protect your teeth and gums?
There is currently research being conducted in Japan to analyse the effect of lactic acid on the health of teeth and gums. The studies have been carried out to gain a clearer understanding of the specific effects that diet will have on dental health. Food groups, namely dairy, are being analysed in closed conditions. Things like milk, yogurt, cream and cheese are a common part of many people's diet, especially in the West and this research is testing the premise that Lactic acid will promote the growth of Lactobacillus bacteria and the consequent probiotic effect will reduce gum disease. The results of 950 test cases showed that people who consumed 55 grams or more of yogurt a day tended to suffer less from periodontal disease (gum disease). Consumption of milk and cheese seemed to have less effect on the results. There was also evidence to suggest that green tea will aid in reducing the risk of gum disease as the antioxidants present will stave off the threat.It also seems that a high intake of vitamin C can help to reduce the risk of periodontal disease, suggesting that a diet of fruit and vegetables will be healthier for your teeth and gums that previously thought.
U.S Dental reforms
Healthcare reform bill will improve children's dental care
Representatives from America’s biggest benefit provider, Delta Dental, have welcomed the passing of President Obama’s ‘Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act’.
The bill will dramatically change the structure of dental care for children and will provide a much more level playing field in terms of accessing affordable oral health care. Delta Dental’s president, Kim Volk said the new measures will mean that millions of children will receive the care they desperately need and have been missing out on up to this point because they don’t have insurance.
The new bill will recognise dental health as an integral component of general health and paediatric dental care will be provided by state insurance programmes but parents will still have the option of using independent providers if they wish to go down that route.
Currently, millions of children are missing out on even the most basic dental care, as they do not have insurance policies and cannot afford treatment. Many rely on free dental clinics, but these are often over-subscribed, so treatment cannot be guaranteed.
The new dental health measures have been included in the essential package that has been designed to come into play in 2014. President Obama is also planning to launch a much more comprehensive range of preventive measures, which will encourage parents and teachers to teach their children about good oral health from a young age and will offer children treatments, such as fluoride treatments and sealant programmes, which will help to protect their teeth and make them more resistant to decay. Preventive dentistry could save the government millions of dollars in the long-run, as well as improving national standards of dental health. (Source:Cosmeticdentistryguide.co.uk)
Advancements in Gene therapy to help Dental procedures
Gene therapy is a fairly common notion for many of us, and has been since the start of the last century. It would seem then that we have been somewhat slow on the uptake when applying the theoretical notions to practical science. One would think that most educated members of society would want to see us retaining the option to treat disease, if we so choose. Early in our conception of this treatment it was viewed as Science fiction and the terrible consequences to society were outlined in books such as Huxley's 'Brave new world', where we see a society which 'grows' its progeny and treats what we see as normal human interaction as something animalistic and abhorrent. However, in recent years we have certainly begun to see what benefits a better understanding of genetics and gene therapy will have to medical science. We must try to get away from the pseudo-religious notion that we should not 'mess with God', an understanding of society which belongs to the sixteenth rather than twenty first century. The campaign of blocking progress to Stem cell research perpetrated by the Bush Administration in the late twentieth and early twenty first centuries has halted the progress of understanding. This type of regressive ideological politicism is anathematic to the development of a more balanced and understanding society.In dentistry gene therapy has the potential to create vastly superior new treatments and aid in giving the best possible care to patients. For example the ability to use Stem cells in helping the growth of gum cells, hence being able to treat damaged gums will have many medical benefits not least in the fight against heart problems, where often those with Gum disease are hugely more at risk from suffering heart disease due to the migration of bacteria from the gums to the heart, carried in the blood. Other methods employed to aid in the regrowth of tissue and understanding of complex molecular synthesis will have huge benefits to everyone in the future.
Veneers Veneers are usually made of porcelain to create shiny and white teeth. This is a treatment which is recommended for people with tooth discoloration or heavy staining problems. This dental procedure is not too invasive and could also correct damage caused to teeth due to other causes. In many ways the addition of veneers can change the way your teeth look and can help you create a positive effect on the visible appearance of your teeth.
National Orthodontic week
At the end of the national orthodontic week there has been much talk about how the UK is starting to fall behind the rest of Europe in public orthodontic options and how well patients are catered for with dental treatments. There has been a decline in funding and this has opened up gaps in the market which are being competently filled by inexpensive surgeries in Hungary and other European countries.
BOS Chairman, Nigel Harradine, speaking at the opening, said: ‘There is not enough knowledge about orthodontics and healthcare has an increasing need to be properly understood.
'There have been great advances in orthodontic technology. We have top-quality research and clinicians in the UK, however, there is a shortage of orthodontists. This is less than Hungary, Poland, Ireland and Italy. There are waiting lists of up to three years for those with a quantified significant need for treatment.'
Press reports on growing trend
'My dental treatment would have cost me £37,500, so I went to Hungary and saved £21,000'
With the country's NHS dental treatment facing crisis, dentists in Hungary and Poland are increasingly being called on to put a smile on people's faces. John Hayes reports on the rise of dental tourism.
For some, a trip to the dentist is about as welcome as a wet and windy weekend in Scarborough. For others, it's as good as a holiday.As Yorkshire's NHS dental crisis deepens, a growing number of people are entrusting their teeth and gums to foreign dentists who can offer great, cost-effective results.
