Our
office has been opened for about 3 months after the lockdown from March
to May. We are fully aware of the current Covid-19 situation in our
country and especially our local community so we are trying our best in
our daily practice to create the safest environment for dental care.
I
know many of you are still debating whether it is a good time to go to
the dental office. The good news is there hasn't been a single reported
covid case contracted in dental office in the country. Another good news
is the positive covid cases and covid -related mortality in Temecula
valley are relatively low, in comparison with the rest of Riverside
county and California state, so we are actually in a better and safer
position in our local community. |

The study, recently published in the journalImmunity, found that chewing food - otherwise known as mastication - can stimulate the release of T helper 17 (Th17) cells in the mouth.
Th17 cells form a part of the adaptive immune system, which uses specific antigens to defend against potentially harmful pathogens, while enduring "friendly" bacteria that can be beneficial to health.
According to the study team, led by Dr. Joanne Konkel of the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom, in the gut and the skin, Th17 cells are produced through the presence of friendly bacteria. |

Dentists can usually spot a soda
drinker. These patients are often prone to dental cavities and white
spots on their teeth known as decalcifications, which are actually the
start of new cavities.
A cavity is an infection caused by a
combination of carbohydrate-containing foods or beverages and bacteria
that live in our mouths. Sweetened soda contains a high amount of sugar,
a carbohydrate that can promote cavities. |

Tooth loss from caries and periodontal disease is an outcome of complex, chronic conditions. Several biopsychosocial factors are involved, including accessing care. Individuals reporting dental anxiety may avoid dental care, and individuals with depression may be negligent in self-care. In this study, researchers examined a potential association of tooth loss with depression and anxiety.
The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) Survey is a complex telephone survey conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and state health departments. |

When it comes to buying a mouthguard, parents who want to reduce their child’s risk of a sports-related concussion should visit a dentist instead of a sporting goods store. High school football players wearingstore-bought, over-the-counter (OTC) mouthguards were more than twice as likely to suffer mild traumatic brain injures (MTBI)/concussions than those wearing custom-made, properly fitted mouthguards, reports a new study in the May/June 2014 issue of General Dentistry.
“Researchers and, most importantly, parents, are looking for ways to better protect children against concussions,” said lead author Jackson Winters, DDS, a pediatric dentist who also served as a high school and collegiate football offi cial for 28 years. |
