SANTA CRUZ, CA, April 19, 2014 (Press-News.org) Many people will never experience a broken bone. It's a less common incident, which is why it's considered an emergency. The same can't be said for dental emergencies. Teeth and gums are put in harms way every day. The food and drinks people consume can produce bacteria and acid that are harmful to tooth enamel.
"People consider cavities a common dental problem, not an emergency. However, certain stages of tooth decay can be considered a major concern, especially if a tooth's structure is damaged due to severe dental decay. Ignoring dental hygiene practices at home deters most patients from coming into the dentist office for a regular checkup. That is when we can discover and treat an issue early on," says Dr. Baron.
If a tooth develops a severe cavity, the plaque bacteria can start attacking the inner tooth and the pulp, which is located in the center of the tooth and is made up of living connective tissue.
Once the bacteria attack the pulp, the tooth can become infected. In these instances, emergency dental care is recommended. If decay can cause an infection, dental trauma may also negatively affect the function, structure and health of teeth and gums. In Santa Cruz, emergency dentistry efforts are put in place at Dr. Baron's office to ensure a patient's oral health and tooth can be restored.
An outside force causes dental trauma, and that outside force results in a chipped, knocked-out or loosened tooth. Dental trauma can also lead to a dental infection.
"A dental emergency requires a quick action from the patient. If no treatment is received within a certain time frame, that patient's tooth health may significantly change, potentially leading to severe decay, infection or tooth loss. We don't want any of our patients' teeth and gums to be in that kind of condition," explains Dr. Baron.
To save your teeth, and ultimately your oral health, don't ignore emergency dental care. Seek emergency dentistry in Santa Cruz as soon as a dental emergency occurs.

Kenosha Dentist Discusses How Age Factors Into A Successful Dental Implant
2014-04-19
In recent years, missing permanent teeth are more often being permanently replaced by dental implants-a type of restorative procedure. Unlike dentures and dental bridges, dental implants require a surgical incision into the gum tissue and jawbone, so a dentist can place the screw-like implant. This allows for the jawbone cells to attach to the implant, the process also known as osseointegration.
The advantages of a dental implant include permanence, esthetic appeal, comfort and convenience. A patient can treat it with care just like his/her natural teeth, and the jawbone ...

Counterfeit contraceptives found in South America
2014-04-19
A survey of emergency contraceptive pills in Peru found that 28 percent of the batches studied were either of substandard quality or falsified. Many pills released the active ingredient too slowly. Others had the wrong active ingredient. One batch had no active ingredient at all.
To detect the fake drugs, researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology developed a sophisticated approach using mass spectrometry to quickly assess suspected counterfeit drugs and then characterize their chemical composition. The study's results highlight a growing concern for women's ...
Treating depression in PD patients: New research
2014-04-18
LEXINGTON, Ky. (April 21, 2014) -- A group of scientists from the University of Kentucky College of Medicine and the Sanders-Brown Center on Aging has found interesting new information in a study on depression and neuropsychological function in Parkinson's disease (PD).
Published in the journal Psychiatry Research, the study, which assessed cognitive function in depressed and non-depressed patients with PD, found that the dopamine replacement therapy commonly used to treat motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease was associated with a decline in cognitive performance among ...
Flipping the switch
2014-04-18
Harvard researchers have succeeded in creating quantum switches that can be turned on and off using a single photon, a technological achievement that could pave the way for the creation of highly secure quantum networks.
Built from single atoms, the first-of-their-kind switches could one day be networked via fiber optic cables to form the backbone of a "quantum Internet" that allows for perfectly secure communications, said Professor of Physics Mikhail Lukin, who led a team consisting of graduate student Jeff Thompson and post-doctoral fellow Tobias Tiecke to construct ...
MRI, on a molecular scale
2014-04-18
For decades, scientists have used techniques like X-ray crystallography and nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (NMR) to gain invaluable insight into the atomic structure of molecules, but such efforts have long been hampered by the fact that they demand large quantities of a specific molecule and often in ordered and crystalized form to be effective – making it all but impossible to peer into the structure of most molecules.
Harvard researchers, however, say those problems may soon be a thing of the past.
A team of scientists, led by Professor of Physics and of Applied ...
Stanford researchers rethink 'natural' habitat for wildlife
2014-04-18
Protecting wildlife while feeding a world population predicted to reach 9 billion by 2050 will require a holistic approach to conservation that considers human-altered landscapes such as farmland, according to Stanford researchers.
Wildlife and the natural habitat that supports it might be an increasingly scarce commodity in a world where at least three-quarters of the land surface is directly affected by humans and the rest is vulnerable to human-caused impacts such as climate change. But what if altered agricultural landscapes could play vital roles in nurturing wildlife ...
