More Young Children Suffering From Tooth Decay
2007-07-22 05:10:00
MONDAY, April 30 (HealthDay News) -- Most Americans are taking better care of their teeth, resulting in improved dental health, but tooth decay in baby teeth among children is increasing, according to a new report.In fact, decay in baby teeth among 2- to 5-year-olds has increased from 24 percent to 28 percent from 1988 to 2004, the federal report found.In addition, a racial and ethnic divide exists when it comes to dental health."This report shows that while we are continuing to make strides in prevention of tooth decay, this disease clearly remains a problem for some racial and ethnic groups, many of whom have more treated and untreated tooth decay compared with other groups," Dr. Bruce A. Dye, the report's lead author, said in a prepared statement.Dye was to present the findings Monday at the annual meeting of the American Association for Public Health Dentistry in Denver. The report, titled Trends in Oral Health Status -- United States, 1988-1994 and 1999-2004, is based on data fro

2007-07-22 04:37:00
FRIDAY, June 1 (HealthDay News) -- U.S. health officials warned consumers Friday not to use toothpaste made in China because it may be contaminated with a poisonous chemical used in antifreeze and as a solvent."The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has placed an import ban on all toothpaste from China," Deborah M. Autor, director of the FDA's Office of Compliance, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, told reporters at an afternoon briefing."The companies will have to prove that their products don't contain harmful levels of DEG (diethylene glycol) before it is allowed into the United States," she added.There have been no reports of poisoning from DEG in toothpaste, Autor said. "However, the agency is concerned about chronic exposure to DEG and exposure in children and individuals with kidney or liver disease," she added.The agency began its investigation after it discovered DEG-contaminated toothpaste from China had been sold in Panama.

Dental Management of the HIV-Infected Patient: An Introduction
2007-07-13 07:15:00
An Overview of Ethical & Legal Implications of Treating HIV-Infected Dental Patients The Ethics of Dental CareDental Management of the HIV-Infected Patient: An Introduction By James CominskyThe human immunodeficiency virus, better known as HIV, is the retrovirus that is known to cause acquired immune deficiency syndrome also known as AIDS. Throughout the history of disease research, HIV is still considered relatively new to scientists. Although strong advances have been recognized towards a cure, the disease is still incurable, contagious, and deadly. Health care providers are continuously exposed to a higher potential of disease transmission due to the nature of their work. Dental professionals work in an environment of needles and bloody aerosols which add to the potential of transmitting the virus. Being in an environment that is associated with disease prevention poses a serious question; how can dental professionals manage the health care treatment of the HIV-infected patient?The A


Why Groups Offer Dental Benefits

Group Dental Discount Plans: It's Not Insurance - It's BetterBy Brian Watts Group Dental Discount PlansWHY GROUPS OFFER DENTAL BENEFITSThe incentives and rewards for small employers to offer their employees dental benefits are many. For decades dental benefits have been shown to reduce absenteeism, improve morale, and enhance performance. Research increasingly shows the link between oral health and overall health. That research is even beginning to show that receiving dental care can reduce personal medical expenses. Despite these compelling benefits, there are still more than 135 million Americans without any dental coverage, most of whom are employees of small employers who can't afford the high cost of dental insurance. So what can small employers offer to their employees that is affordable and offers meaningful savings? The solution may be found in a 2001 survey by Health Allies. That survey found that as far back as five years ago employees understood that medical costs were ma

Dental Discount Plans: A Growing Trend
2007-07-13 07:05:00
Group Dental Discount Plans: It's Not Insurance - It's BetterBy Brian Watts Group Discount Dental Plans DENTAL DISCOUNT PLANS: A GROWING TRENDDiscount dental plans are non-insurance programs in which a panel of dentists agrees to provide their services to eligible members at pre-negotiated discounted fees or at a percentage off of their retail fees. Discounts typically range from 25-50 percent off of usual fees for the most common dental procedures (including exams, cleaning, fillings, crowns, etc.). And because discount plans aren't insurance, they cost much less and offer greater enrollment and coverage flexibility to both small employers and their employees.The non-catastrophic and predictable nature of dental care has prompted several major benefit consultants to predict that discount plans are the future for ancillary health benefits. In 2005, Mercer and Watson Wyatt predicted that High Deductible Health Plans, which can integrate discount programs within a pre-tax savings vehi

Do you need a dental crown procedure? Dental patients who need dental crown work have a few options to dicuss with their dentists, each with specific advantages and disadvantages.

The Magic and Mystique of SEO Keywords
2007-06-19 08:14:00
In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Juliet complains about the problems of their family names by saying “…that which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” It may have been true for the Montague’s and Capulet’s but it’s not true when it comes to search engine keywords: a rose by some other name will put you on page 11,293 instead of upfront on a search engine query for “rose!”Keywords are magic. The correct choice of keywords will be you on page 1 and the wrong choice will cause you to disappear from the internet. The “mystique” however, is how to get the right SEO keywords for what you want to do. Here are a few considerations to de-mystify SEO keyword selection:Keyword Competition. If you pick the same keyword as 10,000 other people, you are competing with 10,000 other people for page one of a search engine’s results for that keyword. Ideally, you want words with little competition. If you’re a very local bakery in Boston, a keyword of “bak

How To Do Effective Keyword Research?
2007-06-19 07:12:00
SEO stands for Search Enzine Optimisation. Though SEO is a simple and just a three lettered word, infact it is a process where one puts his efforts in improving the volume and quality of traffic to a website.The search engines with their unique algorithms crawl a number of websites and rank them. Through this process of SEO, the webmasters optimise their sites to get noticed by the search engines. Initially in the early mid 1990s, the webmasters optimised their sites for the good content, and thus provided information but due to rapid increase in the competition, they started SEO of their sites only for search engines. I would like to say that be natural and user-friendly to the visitors rather than for search engines.Let me tell you that the process of SEO starts with the selection of keywords. So the first question arising in our mind is – “How to do effective keyword research?”. First select the most appropriate targetted keyword or keyword phrase so that when someone searches

Keyword Elite Software Review
2007-06-19 06:38:00
I confess I became a Keyword Elite customer by accident. You see, I really wanted to get in on the initial intake of Google Cash Detective customers. Unfortunately I was busy at the time of its launch, and by the time I visited the order page I was informed that Google Cash Detective had sold out. I was furious. I had waited weeks for the launch, counting down every day. But what was truly terrifying was my knowledge that the new Google Cash Detective customers would soon be monitoring and stealing my profitable AdWords campaigns. It was time for emergency measures. I decided to check whether there were any other software applications with similar capabilities. And I found several references to Brad Callen's Keyword Elite software. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that Keyword Elite might do almost everything I had been expecting from Google Cash Detective. And Keyword Elite has a price tag of just $176 so I was pleasantly surprised. Just a day earlier I had been ready to pay $49

11 Ways To Promote Your Website
2007-06-19 06:18:00
There are many ways to promote your website, but we often forget some of the most effective. Let's review my 11 ways to promote your website. Headers, Tags, and Titles - Search engines continue to evolve but there are a few things you still can do to give them a clue about what's on your website. One is to include your keywords in header tags. Additionally, craft a one or two sentence description that explains the content of each page, including some keywords from the page. This should go between the Head tags. Finally, you should write short, descriptive titles for each page. Don't use the same one for each. Keywords - Look at your website copy. Are your keywords in the first paragraph? They should be because that is where the search engines expect to find them. But don't go overboard with keywords. SEO - The above tips actually are fairly basic SEO activities, but there are some higher level SEO tactics that will help raise you site above the crowd. Hyperlink your keywords to mak
