Dental Clinics in Georgia, Lawrenceville Dental Associates, Discuss How Eating Disorders Ruin Teeth

Lawrenceville, Georgia dentist warns about the adverse effects of eating disorders on teeth.

2013-06-18

NORCROSS, GA, June 18, 2013 (Press-News.org) It is a well-known and heavily documented fact that eating disorders, such as bulimia and anorexia nervosa, can cause serious damage to a person's physical and mental health. But did you know that, allowed to go unchecked, they can cause irreparable damage to your teeth as well?

Lawrenceville Dental Associates, home to some of the most trusted and renowned dentists in Lawrenceville, Ga., reveal the damage that purging, a disturbing component of eating disorders, does to teeth enamel. Over time, stomach acids weaken the tooth enamel and expose the tooth core, which can lead to tooth decay as well as extensive gum deterioration. A person suffering from an eating disorder will likely need exhaustive dental repair to combat the effect of the disease on their teeth and gums.

This Lawrenceville family dentistry practice knows all about reversing and reducing the harmful effects of eating disorders on overall dental health. As one of the leading dental clinics in Georgia, they offer a complete array of dental services by some of the most competent and knowledgeable dentists in Lawrenceville.

2013-06-18

Dates with significant others are a time to celebrate your love, but there is no need for you or your loved one to gain weight in the process of celebrating the night. Healthe Trim, a natural weight loss supplement, recommends that you avoid having a date centered around overeating and have a healthy special evening instead.

There is so much more to romantic dates than just ...

Healthy, full-term babies use a different stress hormone than their mother

2013-06-17

A University of Calgary researcher has identified how a steroid hormone may indicate infant distress during labour and delivery. The study, published by PLOS ONE this month, suggests that a full-term, healthy baby preferentially secretes a different stress hormone than its mother does. That stress hormone, corticosterone, has not been previously studied in human development. "Fetal corticosterone, which is related to cortisol, could serve as a biomarker of fetal stress," says study lead author Katherine Wynne-Edwards, PhD, Jack Manns Professor of Comparative Endocrinology. ...

Medical intervention in transgender adolescents appears to be safe and effective

2013-06-17

SAN FRANCISCO—Hormone treatment to halt puberty in adolescents with gender identity disorder does not cause lasting harm to their bones, a new study finds. The results were presented today at The Endocrine Society's 95th Annual Meeting in San Francisco. "Hormonal interventions to block the pubertal development of children with gender dysphoria are effective and sufficiently safe to alleviate the stress of gender dysphoria," said the study's lead author, Henriette Delemarre-van de Waal, MD, PhD, a professor of pediatric endocrinology at Leiden University Medical Center, ...

Estrogen replacement therapy helps reduce anxiety in anorexia nervosa

2013-06-17

SAN FRANCISCO— Estrogen replacement therapy is associated with a significant decrease in anxiety symptoms among girls with anorexia nervosa, a new clinical trial finds. The results will be presented today at The Endocrine Society's Annual Meeting in San Francisco. "This is the first study to show that estrogen replacement ameliorates the tendency for anxiety in anorexia nervosa and may prevent increasing body dissatisfaction with weight gain," said the study's lead author Madhusmita Misra, MD, MPH, pediatric endocrinologist and associate professor of pediatrics at the ...

Vitamin D deficiency may raise allergy and asthma risk in obese children, teens

2013-06-17

One reason why obese children and teenagers are more likely to have hard-to-control asthma and allergies may be vitamin D deficiency, a new study finds. Results of the study will be presented Tuesday at The Endocrine Society's 95th Annual Meeting in San Francisco. "The increased risk for asthma and allergies, and for more severe cases of allergic disease, in overweight and obese adolescents has not previously been understood," said Candace Percival, MD, lead investigator and a pediatric endocrinology fellow at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, Bethesda, MD. ...

Bushfires in north of Western Australia

2013-06-17

According to the Australian Government Bureau of Meterology, "In the warm, dry and sunny winter and spring, when grasses are dead and fuels have dried, northern Australia becomes most susceptible to bushfires. Intense high-pressure systems over South Australia producing strong southeast to northeast winds increase the risk of bushfires." Since Australia is heading into their winter as the northern climates head into summer, the north of Western Australia is ripe for bushfires. Many have already begun as evidenced from this satellite pass by NASA's Aqua satellite which ...

Adolescents' high-fat diet impairs memory and learning

2013-06-17

SAN FRANCISCO-- A high-fat diet in adolescence appears to have long-lasting effects on learning and memory during adulthood, a new study in mice finds. The results were presented Saturday at The Endocrine Society's 95th Annual Meeting in San Francisco. Adolescent mice fed a normal-calorie but high-fat diet became moderately obese but not diabetic, and they displayed significantly impaired spatial memory, according to the study authors, from CEU-San Pablo University (Universidad CEU-San Pablo) in Madrid. Spatial memory allows recording of information needed to navigate ...

Impaired heart function among obese children may help predict later disease

2013-06-17

SAN FRANCISCO-- Impaired heart function among obese children and adolescents may be an indicator of future heart disease, a new clinical trial finds. The results were presented Saturday at The Endocrine Society's 95th Annual Meeting in San Francisco. Obesity rates in developed countries worldwide are climbing among all age groups, including children. In the United States today, one-third of children are overweight or obese, which raises concerns about the effects of early weight gain on future health. Previous research showed that obesity in childhood can cause a type ...

Weight loss drug added to diet and exercise improves blood sugar control

2013-06-17

SAN FRANCISCO-- The new weight loss drug lorcaserin (Belviq) appears to improve blood sugar control in nondiabetic, overweight individuals, independent of the amount of weight they lose, a new study finds. The results will be presented Saturday at The Endocrine Society's 95th Annual Meeting in San Francisco. Lorcaserin activates a serotonin receptor (5HT2C) in the brain believed to decrease appetite and promote a sense of fullness, thus encouraging decreased food consumption, said the study's principal investigator, Louis Aronne, MD, professor of clinical medicine at ...

Source of tumor growth in aggressive prostate cancer found

2013-06-17

SAN FRANCISCO-Researchers have discovered a molecular switch that explains, at least in part, how some fast-growing prostate cancers become resistant to hormone treatment, a new study conducted in human cell cultures and mice finds. The results were presented Saturday at The Endocrine Society's 95th Annual Meeting in San Francisco. A factor not normally found in the prostate, called Steroidogenic Factor 1, stimulates production of new steroid hormones and increases cell multiplication to fuel growth of the tumor, researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, found. "This ...
