Face Lift Dentistry - Before and After

Face Lift Dentistry - Before and After

Peak dental health can be achieved with Face Lift Dentistry ®. (Read more about Los Angeles Cosmetic Dentist, Sam Muslin.)

The Dental Face Lift ® achieves transcendent improvement on three levels: health, bite and appearance:

  • Health - Your past dental work did its job and did it well. But now, the first part of the Dental Face Lift process involves removing all tooth decay, old fillings and old dental crowns on every tooth.  All this is replaced with biologically compatible dentistry that is free of decay and infection. It immediately improves the oral health of each patient.
  • Bite - The doctor then coordinates the bite with the jaw joint. By rebuilding the bite to harmonize with the jaw, the patient benefits because of better chewing efficiency. This means increased comfort, stress reduction of the jaw joint and more natural facial musculature.
  • Appearance - The patient's appearance improves. They look younger. They speak more clearly. They feel better about themselves. This contributes to their total wellness and well being. More on Who Should You See For A Facelift? A Plastic Surgeon or a Facelift Dentist?

10 Wacky Facts about your Nails

  1. Nails and hair do not keep on growing after death contrary to what is often stated as fact. The truth is that the body dehydrates after death, resulting in an appearance of hair and nails that seem to grow.
  2. Finger nails grow faster than toe nails. Finger nails grow at the approximate rate of a half an inch every 100 days. If you bite your nails down to the flesh it takes at least a month to re-grow!
  3. Nails on longer fingers grow faster than nails on short fingers. Nails also grow faster on your dominant hand. So if you must bite your nails, concentrate on the middle finger of your right hand - if you are right handed.
  4. Massaging your finger tips will stimulate nail growth. So does typing on a keyboard.
  5. Nails grow much faster during pregnancy.
  6. Dry nails are mostly the result of not drinking enough. Unfortunately only water helps.
  7. A man's nails grow faster than a woman's. This does not make a man superior.
  8. Nails grow faster in warm sunny climates than in cold dark places. If you must bite your nails, move to Southern California.
  9. The older you are, the slower your nails grow.
  10. People biting nails do this out of habit. There is no medical cure. The only way to stop nail biting is to break the habit!

Cosmetic Dentist Offers Facelifts

 It might be a little difficult to believe at first, but a cosmetic dentist can offer you a facelift that will change the way that you look. Cosmetic dentists have become increasingly more popular over the years, and this is with many great reasons. They offer you the ability to improve the way that you feel about yourself by changing the way that you look without plastic surgery.

We all have things about ourselves that we wish that we could change, and while some of the things are irreversible there are things that we can change without going under the knife of a plastic surgeon. Some of these changes will even include a complete change in the way that your face looks, such as with a dental facelift.

There are some of us don't properly care for our teeth, while others pay close attention to good oral hygiene but still they suffer from teeth loss or gum disease. These are unfortunate situations that can greatly affect the way that we look and certainly the way that we feel about ourselves. These are the situations that we quickly become grateful for cosmetic dentists.

Missing teeth can be replaced with natural looking teeth, broken teeth can easily be repaired, and discolored teeth can once again be as white as they were when you were a small child. These are all things that we desire and feel will give us back that self-esteem that began to wither away as our teeth got worse and worse.

A cosmetic dental facelift is far less painful than going to a cosmetic surgeon and getting an incision in your head. Nobody enjoys going to the dentist, but a cosmetic dentist will offer you much less pain than six-month checkup will. The best part about visiting with a cosmetic dentist is that when you walk out of their office you are walking out with results that are visible to everyone that looks your way.

Every one of us suffer from different teeth situations, and some are worse than others, but regardless of your specific situation a cosmetic dentist is going to be able to offer you the desired results that you are looking for that will improve your smile. Finding a cosmetic dentist in your local area shouldn't be very difficult at all. Simply search using the internet and you will also be able to find additional information about the cosmetic dentist that will help you to determine their qualifications without much effort on your part.

Is the Economy Affecting your Gums?

As you may be aware, gum disease such as gingivitis and periodontitis is usually caused by poor oral hygiene and dental neglect. When tiny particles of food become trapped in the small "pocket" just beneath the gum line, destructive bacteria find an abundant source of nourishment.

This bacteria forms a sticky film called plaque or calculus. When the body's immune system attacks this bacteria, the result is inflammation. Once the antibodies are turned loose however, they are like an army out of control, causing a great deal of collateral damage in the form of receding gums and deterioration of the underlying bone structure (known as the alveolar bone).

The result; unsightly brown or black build-up, painful, bleeding gums and ultimately, the loss of teeth.

Sometimes however, gum disease is more likely to develop in response to some other disorder that may be far removed from the teeth and gums.

It is well known, for instance that smokers are up to 700% more likely to develop gum disease because of a compromised immune system and the reduction of bacteria-inhibiting oxygen in the mouth.

Diabetics whose disease is poorly controlled are much more susceptible to gum disease, partially because of a compromised immune system and partially due to blood sugar issues. Such individuals are more prone to infections in general and are slow to heal from injuries.

For this reason, it is not surprising that HIV-positive people are also more prone to developing gum disease.

It is estimated that as many as half of people in the U.S., who for economic and other reasons suffer the highest rates of stress in the industrialized world, suffer from gum disease. The connection may not seem apparent at first glance, but the fact is that stress produces excess hormones, especially estrogen in women. It is not actually the stress, but the excess hormones that are responsible in this case; pubescent girls are especially susceptible during menstruation, as are older women who are pregnant or taking contraceptive pills.

Malnutrition is a common cause of gum disease as British sailors in the 18th century discovered when they came down with scurvy. Fortunately, this is easily corrected with proper nutrition and vitamin supplements.

Finally, certain medications can have an effect on whether or not someone will develop gum disease. Steroids, medication for hypertension, anti-seizure drugs such as Dilantin and Tegritol, tetracycline and many drugs used for the treatment of cancer all play a role.

Don't Mess with Old Dogs!

A wealthy old Gentleman decides to go on a hunting safari in Africa, taking his faithful, elderly Jack Russell named Killer, along for the company.

One day the old Jack Russell starts chasing rabbits and before long, discovers that he's lost. Wandering about, he notices a leopard heading rapidly in his direction with the intention of having lunch.

The old Jack Russell thinks, "Oh, oh! I'm in deep doo-doo now!"

Noticing some bones on the ground close by, he immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat. Just as the leopard is about to leap, the old Jack Russell exclaims loudly, "Boy, that was one delicious leopard! I wonder if there are any more around here?"

Hearing this, the young leopard halts his attack in mid-strike, a look of terror comes over him and he slinks away into the trees. "Whew!", says the leopard, "That was close! That old Jack Russell nearly had me!"

Meanwhile, a monkey who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby tree, figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for protection from the leopard. So off he goes, but the old Jack Russell sees him heading after the leopard with great speed, and figures that something must be up.

The monkey soon catches up with the leopard, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the leopard.

The young leopard is furious at being made a fool of and says, "Here, monkey, hop on my back and see what's going to happen to that conniving canine!

Now, the old Jack Russell sees the leopard coming with the monkey on his back and thinks, "What am I going to do now?" 

Instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to his attackers, pretending he hasn't seen them, and just when they get close enough to hear, the old Jack Russell says…

"Where's that damn monkey? I sent him off an hour ago to bring me another leopard!

Moral of this story…..

Other than making sure you are not skimping on pet supplies - don't mess with the old dogs! Age and skill will always overcome youth and treachery! BS and brilliance only come with age and experience.
