2012-06-08

BAKERSFIELD, CA, June 08, 2012 (Press-News.org) Earlier in May Dr. B. David Zinati, a Bakersfield dentist, joined the practice of Apollonia Dental Center.

Zinati is a graduate of University of South California's School of Dentistry, and displays exceptional orthodontic knowledge as well as a yearning to help patients.

Dr. Joseph Marvizi, a fellow Apollonia dentist, desired for Zinati to provide patients with top quality dental care as the practice's in-house orthodontist.

The confidence boost that comes from a perfectly aligned smile is not the only reason for patients to see their orthodontist. Crooked teeth can be more difficult to clean effectively, which can lead to plaque buildup, and patients with crowded teeth have a higher risk for gum disease.

A patient's genes, early dental habits or premature tooth loss from accidents or decay can all result in a less than perfect smile. Luckily for them, orthodontists are available to help and can even determine if a child will need braces by 6 years of age at the earliest.

Straightening teeth can also improve a patient's bite so unnecessary wear and weakening of the enamel doesn't occur. Patients with misaligned bites can potentially experience long-term problems such as TMJ disorders.

Braces come in many designs from ceramic to metal, which uses rubber bands to shift the teeth. Incognito braces can be installed on the backs of the teeth, so that smiles are straightened without the look of traditional braces. Invisalign is another option that utilizes clear plastic trays to straighten teeth.

Marvizi, a Bakersfield dentist, already perfects his patient's teeth with Invisalign, but now elicits the contribution of Zinati to provide straighter smiles for even more people.

Apollonia Dental Center uses their experience in tooth whitening, porcelain veneers, dental bridges and bonding to meet every one of their patients' desires. Zinati can be met with for an orthodontic consultation by contacting the Bakersfield cosmetic dentistry directly.

Sea temperatures less sensitive to CO2 13 million years ago

2012-06-08

San Francisco -- In the modern global climate, higher levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere are associated with rising ocean temperatures. But the seas were not always so sensitive to this CO2 "forcing," according to a new report. Around 5 to 13 million years ago, oceans were warmer than they are today -- even though atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations were considerably lower. The unusual mismatch between sea temperatures and CO2 levels during this time period hints that the relationship between climate and carbon dioxide hasn't always been the same as ...

Standard measures of clinical care of blood pressure misleading, say researchers

They compared ...

Study: When highly skilled immigrants move in, highly skilled natives move out

In the first study to measure the temporary impact of highly skilled immigrants on native populations, University of Notre Dame EconomistAbigail Wozniak and Fairfield University's Thomas J. Murray — a former Notre Dame graduate student — found that when highly skilled immigrants move to a city or town, the U.S. natives in that area who are also highly skilled tend to move away. However, the study found that the same immigrant group's presence decreases the chances that low-skilled natives would leave. "High skill" refers to those having some post-secondary education or ...
