2013-05-10

FORT MYERS, FL, May 10, 2013 (Press-News.org) Dr. Angela Harney, Fort Myers, FL dentist, always strives to provide her patients with the best in quality dental care possible. Since taking over her current dental practice in 2009, Dr. Harney has been working to provide quality dental care for patients in Fort Myers, FL. Dr. Harney is pleased to offer digital panoramic x-rays for greater detail and less exposure for her patients.

"Digital x-rays offer decreased radiation exposure, if any at all. Because many diseases of the teeth and surrounding tissues cannot be seen by the naked eye when examining a patient's mouth, digital x-rays can help reveal an array of problems including infections in the bone, gum disease, and more," said Dr. Angela Harney, Fort Myers dentist.

Digital dental x-rays are pictures of the teeth, bones, and soft tissues around them to help find problems with the teeth, mouth, and jaw. Dr. Angela Harney, dentist in Fort Myers, is pleased to offer digital x-rays, which utilize a small sensor unit to send pictures to a computer to be recorded and saved. Digital x-rays can show cavities, hidden dental structures, and bone loss that cannot be seen during a visual examination. They may also be done as a follow-up after dental treatments.

With this recent advancement in dentistry, Dr. Harney, dentist in Fort Myers, FL, can now offer safer dental care with decreased radiation exposure and increased results. Many people require x-rays on a regular basis so that their dental condition can be monitored closely. Exactly how often this happens will depend on a patient's medical and dental history and current condition.

Some patients may need x-rays as often as every six months, while others may only need x-rays every couple years. In patients with no recent dental or gum disease, and who visit Dr. Angela Harney, Fort Myers family dentist, regularly for check-ups, x-rays may be taken only every five years or so.

Dr. Angela Harney, sedation dentist in Fort Myers, continues to provide quality dental care for her community. With the use of digital panoramic x-rays, Dr. Harney can further ensure accuracy and proper diagnosis when examining her patients' teeth.

Colorado court finds no protections for marijuana-using workers

2013-05-10

This fall, voters in Colorado chose to legalize the recreational use of marijuana. In doing so, Colorado became one of two states to allow recreational and medical marijuana. Eighteen others allow residents to use marijuana for medicinal purposes only. While these laws can prevent marijuana users from getting charged with state crimes, they do not mean that people in Colorado have a completely free pass to use marijuana whenever they want. A recent ruling by the Colorado Court of Appeals held that workers can be fired from their jobs for testing positive for marijuana, ...

Silicon Valley: Home of tech innovations and age discrimination?

2013-05-10

Mark Zuckerberg could be the poster child for tech industry success in Silicon Valley. He is the epitome of an ambitious, free-thinking innovator willing to work around the clock to help develop the next big business venture. Because of Mr. Zuckerberg's success, and the success of many other young tech leaders, some companies have found themselves caught up in this stereotype. As a result, qualified candidates that do not fit within this label are accusing these companies of focusing on an applicant's age instead of his or her qualifications when making hiring decisions.
