Riverview Dentist Offers Laser To Scan For Hidden Cavities

Dr. Mehul Patel is excited to be offering a laser that scans patient''s teeth for hidden decay

2013-03-28

RIVERVIEW, MI, March 28, 2013 (Press-News.org) Dr. Mehul Patel, Riverview dentist, is happy to be using the Spectra Laser to help him and his staff find decay that can be hidden in teeth. Locating hidden decay before it destroys the tooth structure from the inside out is a major goal of modern dentistry.

"I am very happy that our practice is able to offer this state-of-the-art equipment for our patients. We know they value healthy and attractive teeth as much as we do. In order to maintain healthy teeth, the earlier we catch any sign of decay the better. This means less discomfort and fewer costs for the patients as well," said Dr. Patel, dentist from Trenton.

Diagnosing cavities beneath the hard surfaces of a tooth is more challenging because the disease process can start through microscopic defects in the hard surface enamel and can spread into the softer tooth structure beneath the surface. X-rays cannot detect the sub-surface decay, especially when the cavity is in the early stages. The Spectra Laser is able to monitor the areas below the hard surfaces so treatment for decay can start as soon as possible before more of the tooth is destroyed.

The New Medical Negligence Apology and Notice Laws: A Bold New Frontier for Newborn Safety

2013-03-28

Introduction. When a child is born with severe birth injuries such as kernicterus (brain damage) due to extreme jaundice, parents often do not realize that anything is wrong with their baby until days, months, or sometimes years later. That is because jaundice in a newborn baby is too often considered a harmless condition by health care providers. Parents walk out of the hospital smiling broadly, with a yellow newborn in their arms, believing that she is perfectly healthy with a nice tan. They frequently are told by nurses just to stick the baby in the sun for a while. ...

In fact, cheerleading accounts for more than 65 percent of all catastrophic injuries suffered by female high school athletes during the past 25 years. The catastrophic injuries from the sport may cause permanent brain injuries, paralysis ...

Older Motorcyclists May Suffer More Severe Injuries In Accidents

2013-03-28

The idea that Americans are settling into rocking chairs as they age is now a myth, if it was ever true. Both younger and older baby boomers -- those born between 1946 and 1964 -- are turning to new hobbies or reconnecting with activities they enjoyed in their younger years. Among the new activities: motorcycles. Between 1998 and 2003, the mean age of motorcycle owners rose from 33 to 43, according to an industry trade association. About a quarter of motorcycle riders in the U.S. are 50 or older. This newfound or rediscovered joy of the open road could come with consequences ...
