SACRAMENTO, CA, August 30, 2012 (Press-News.org) Like every part of your body, your teeth and gums will change as you age. Some of these changes are built into your genetic code, but others will occur due to lifestyle choices and the care you take of your teeth as you age.
The best way to prevent problems from occurring with age is through a good oral hygiene routine including biannual professional general dentistry services staring at a young age. It is common knowledge that you should brush your teeth after every meal and floss at least once daily, but it is the visits to your dentist every six months that are often overlooked. Taking time to visit your dentist for cleanings and examinations can help prevent issues such as tooth decay and gum disease as well as detect these issues before they become larger problems.
Aging Teeth and Gums
As you age, your teeth will be impacted by your lifestyle choices such as a poor oral hygiene routine, frequent consumption of sugary or highly carbohydrate foods, and smoking. These things can lead to tooth discoloration and tooth decay, but may also be a factor in making your teeth more brittle and encouraging the bacteria that causes gum disease.
Your gums will naturally recede as you age making both them and your teeth more susceptible to oral health issues. Changing bad habits and visiting your dentist with more consistency can help reduce your risks for serious dental issues that can accompany receding gums.
Dry mouth is also a common part of aging. Your dentist can prescribe dry mouth remedies that can be used at home to reduce this problem and increase your overall comfort.
Some people will experience more cosmetic issues with age. Issues such as tooth discoloration or missing teeth can make for an awkward smile. Choosing a dentist who offers both general and cosmetic dentistry solution can provide you with a convenient one-stop-shop for all of your dental needs, no matter what stage of life you are in.

Speeding and Car Accidents
2012-08-30
Most cliches have an element of truth, and "speed kills" is no exception.
Speeding is one of the most common contributing factors to car accidents and their resulting injuries and fatalities. A major study by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration (FHA) in 1998 found that the risk of being involved in a car accident is increased when a vehicle travels above the average speed, and that the risk of sustaining injury increases exponentially with speed.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), speeding ...
Do You Know How to Recognize Fetal Distress? Your Doctor Might Not
2012-08-30
Fetal distress is a broad term used to describe a number of related conditions that may arise during pregnancy or childbirth. Fetal distress can come on suddenly -- and it can cause serious injury to the mother, as well as long-term health consequences or death for the baby.
Most commonly, fetal distress is discovered during labor through the use of fetal monitoring equipment commonly referred to as "fetal monitor strips." But in the delivery room, seconds count, and any delay, doubt or misdiagnosis on the part of your care providers can have disastrous consequences ...
With ERs Busier, Overcrowding Could Put Your Health at Risk
2012-08-30
Every year, more patients are visiting the emergency room. From 2001 to 2008, the number of ER visits by American's jumped from 107.5 million to 123.8 million, according to a 2012 study published this summer in the Annals of Emergency Medicine. The uptick in emergency room visits outpaced the U.S. population growth by 60 percent.
Even more of a concern than the sheer volume of ER visits is the increased amount of time patients are spending in the emergency department once they get there. Over the same period of time, the study found nearly a 30 percent increase in the ...
Braking Bad: Truck Drivers, Defective Brakes and Crashes
2012-08-30
The cause of some motor vehicle crashes is readily apparent, like drunk driving or traffic violations. For certain accidents, however, further investigation is needed to uncover what led to a collision and any resulting injuries or deaths. When it comes to truck accidents, two common factors are defective brakes and the actions or inaction of truck drivers. While truck or brake manufacturers may be held accountable for defective brakes under product liability laws, negligent commercial drivers and their carriers may also be found responsible for accidents.

Bus Crashes Becoming a Routine Occurrence in Toronto's Daily Commute
2012-08-30
Public transportation can save you time, money and aggravation -- that is, if it gets you to your destination in one piece. In Toronto, the rash of bus and railcar accidents over the past year seriously calls into question the certainty of that prospect.
On August 2, the latest major bus incident culminated with charges of careless driving and failure to stop at a red light for the 55-year-old driver. According to Toronto police, the bus struck a Nissan Altima in the intersection of Peter and Richmond streets before hitting a southbound taxi and careening into a beloved ...
NHTSA Urged to Maintain Its Support for Annual Vehicle Inspections
2012-08-30
When common sense safety measures and wise vehicle registration policies intersect, real lives are saved and many serious injuries from car accidents averted. California has long been among states that require vehicle safety inspections under some circumstances. According to AAA, all non-resident vehicles require a safety inspection when first registered in California, and CHP officers can require a roadside inspection if they suspect a vehicle is unsafe.
Sound reporting practices and inspection requirements can help regulators recognize common auto defects and product ...

2012-08-30
The Department of Homeland Security has released details and put into action a new policy that stops deportation of some young immigrants. Immigration advocates are praising the deferred action program as a real-world implementation of some provisions contained in the DREAM Act.
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) recently published forms and instructions for the deferred action program, and began accepting applications on August 15. Immigrants under 30 who have immediate questions about deferred action as well as existing removal cases can learn about ...
California Woman Wrongfully Denied Long-Term Disability Benefits
2012-08-30
Individuals dealing with so-called "invisible illnesses" often have a difficult time obtaining appropriate disability benefits. Recently, an employee was receiving long-term disability benefits due to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, an illness with no obvious symptoms to outsiders. Her employer decided to terminate her benefits, despite being completely disabled by her symptoms, and she disputed that decision. A U.S. District court judge agreed with the woman since evidence proved she was, indeed, still eligible for benefits.
Workers with "Invisible Illnesses" ...
