BURNSVILLE, MN, December 19, 2011 (Press-News.org) Dakota Dental Apple Valley Dentistry is wishing the community a happy holiday season while reminding individuals of simple strategies to prevent dental damage from holiday celebrations that could linger throughout the new year.
"Whether it's the platter of holiday cookies and fudge, or the alcoholic beverages served at social gatherings, the holiday season can place an extra strain on dental and oral health." says, Apple Valley dentist, Dr. Shelley Wakefield. "Fortunately, with some understanding and a few preventative strategies, people can enjoy holiday celebrations while greatly reducing the negative effect on their teeth. While people are aware that sugary foods promote tooth decay, many don't understand the connection between alcohol and dental health."
Saliva helps to protect teeth from tooth decay. Alcohol has a drying effect within the mouth, which can remove the protection normally provided by the production of saliva. Alcoholic drinks (including beer) tend to be high in sugars that can damage teeth. In addition, sweet wines and drinks mixed with sodas or citrus juices have high acidity which promotes erosion of tooth enamel.
Along with moderate, responsible drinking, Dakota Dental Family Dentistry recommends the following to prevent damage to teeth: Always brush and floss well before going to bed - regardless of how late the hour. Drink a full glass of water and swish to rehydrate the mouth after drinking an alcoholic beverage. Avoid alcohol within an hour of bed as the mouth naturally dries out during sleep. Chew sugarless gum between holiday cocktails and sweets to help increase saliva production and flow, rinse away sugars and decrease the latent acid content of your mouth. Schedule routine dental services and dental procedures to prevent oral disease.
Apple Valley dentists, Dr. Shelley Wakefield and Dr. Bennett Isabella, promote dental health and awareness by speaking to community organizations and encouraging an understanding of the importance of good oral health and wellness.

Immunological defense mechanism leaves malaria patients vulnerable to deadly infection
2011-12-19
The link between malaria and salmonella infections has been explained for the first time, opening the way to more effective treatments.
Malaria patients are at high risk of developing fatal bacterial infections, especially salmonella infections. This is commonly believed to be due to generalised immunosuppression by malaria, whereby the entire immune system is weakened and compromised.
However, researchers at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine have discovered that the increased vulnerability to salmonella infections is a side effect of the body's attempts ...
Upper atmosphere facilitates changes that let mercury enter food chain
2011-12-19
Humans pump thousands of tons of vapor from the metallic element mercury into the atmosphere each year, and it can remain suspended for long periods before being changed into a form that is easily removed from the atmosphere.
New research shows that the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere work to transform elemental mercury into oxidized mercury, which can easily be deposited into aquatic ecosystems and ultimately enter the food chain.
"The upper atmosphere is acting as a chemical reactor to make the mercury more able to be deposited to ecosystems," said Seth ...

A 50-year quest to isolate the thermoelectric effect is now over: Magnon drag unveiled
2011-12-19
As electrons move past atoms in a solid, their charge distorts the nearby lattice and can create a wave. Reciprocally, a wave in the lattice affects the electrons motion, in analogy to a wave in the sea that pushes a surfer riding it. This interaction results in a thermoelectric effect that was first observed during the 1950´s and has come to be known as phonon-drag, because it can be quantified from the flow of lattice-wave quanta (phonons) that occurs over the temperature gradient.
Soon after the discovery of the phonon drag, an analogous phenomenon was predicted to ...

The benefits of cardiac resynchronisation therapy in heart failure
2011-12-19
However, large-scale clinical trials have highlighted the beneficial effect of cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) in the improvement of symptoms and reduction of mortality, and CRT is now recommended in the major European and American guidelines for the treatment and prevention of heart failure.(1)
Clinical trials, however, are performed in carefully selected subjects and their results are not always applicable to the general population. Large-scale registries or surveys, on the other hand, capture data from a much more heterogeneous population and are closer to everyday ...
Why young couples aren't getting married -- they fear the ravages of divorce
2011-12-19
With the share of married adults at an all-time low in the United States, new research by demographers at Cornell University and the University of Central Oklahoma unveils clues why couples don't get married – they fear divorce.
Among cohabitating couples, more than two-thirds of the study's respondents admitted to concerns about dealing with the social, legal, emotional and economic consequences of a possible divorce.
The study, "The Specter of Divorce: Views from Working and Middle-Class Cohabitors," is published in the journal Family Relations (December 2011) and ...
Researchers create living 'neon signs' composed of millions of glowing bacteria
2011-12-19
In an example of life imitating art, biologists and bioengineers at UC San Diego have created a living neon sign composed of millions of bacterial cells that periodically fluoresce in unison like blinking light bulbs.
Their achievement, detailed in this week's advance online issue of the journal Nature, involved attaching a fluorescent protein to the biological clocks of the bacteria, synchronizing the clocks of the thousands of bacteria within a colony, then synchronizing thousands of the blinking bacterial colonies to glow on and off in unison.
A little bit of art with ...
