Saliva Tests go High Tech ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Years ago, Dr. Nara provided a simple saliva test
for detecting the presence and levels of Lacto
bacillus and Strep mutans, known as high risk
factors in tooth decay. Though the whole process
was very
simple and inexpensive, we searched unsuccessfully
to find a provider of an economical saliva test since
Dr. Nara retired. Plenty of saliva tests existed,
but were geared toward detecting AIDS. I guess
that, for the labs, the money was not in tooth
decay. Now it looks as though your dentist will
have a new chairside test to help indicate bone loss
and and more specific cleaning visits...
With the aid of a $431,000, two-year grant from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, UB researchers hope to identify components in saliva that will tell a dentist, using a quick chair-side test, whether a patient is at risk for future loss of bone that holds the teeth in place. A positive test would signal the need for extensive cleaning and treatment. Probably these tests, when they become available, will cost a pretty penny in the dental office. You can take our BANA test and start preventing decay and bone loss right now, without waiting for this multi-million dollar research to complete. The news article, from the University of Buffalo, is: http://www.buffalo.edu/reporter/vol36/vol36n1/articles/Scannapieco.html . Our BANA test information is here... |

Feelings! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have been asked to work on the re-release Dr.
Nara's book,
'Feelings! An Encounter With Yourself,' written by
Dr. and Ruth Nara. Though
this subject may be a bit removed fom oral health, I
thought I'd introduce it to OraMedia Newsletter
readers first before putting it to the rest of the
planet. 'Feelings!' was first published in January,
1977 and having got to know Bob and Ruth Nara and
their intelligent, but caring approach to whatever
they take on, I agreed to take a look at this
manuscript and study it for myself.
What I found was the usual Nara common-sense view on life and human interaction. Their observations are right on target, their solutions infallable and their understanding of the human emotional make-up and drive make 'Feelings!' a such a valuable book you'll want to pass it on to your friends and children. I've just completed the manuscript and have made it available as a Labor Day Weekend special to OraMedia readers. |

Is Your Dentist Taking Shortcuts? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When ya gotta go, ya gotta go... Just make sure
your getting the best treatment for your you & your
family from your dental visit. Remember, they're
working for you. This article from Sheila Wolf, RDH
tells you how you can go beyond the basics and get
the most out of your dental visit. What you should
expect...
Most people think of a routine dental appointment as a check-up for cavities and an opportunity to get their teeth polished for a brighter smile. Indeed, those two items are standard. However, you can give your dental professional an A+ for competence if your dental visit goes beyond the basics. There is growing evidence that chronic bacterial infections of the mouth are linked to a number of life-threatening illnesses. According to the American Academy of Periodontology, "Researchers have found that people with periodontal disease are almost twice as likely to suffer from coronary artery disease as those without periodontal disease." Periodontal disease is an infection, and all infections are dangerous. |

Bad Breath & Gingivitis ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Does this sound familiar to you? My dentist and
hygienist mentioned that I had irritated gums as
they cleaned my teeth. This is a symptom of gingivitis.
Gingivitis can be a stepping stone to major problems
in the mouth and gum line. It can lead to
periodontal disease, which is a much more serious
problem with the potential for actual bone loss.
Halitosis (bad breath) could be related to a gingivitis infection as both are caused by bacteria. Red, swollen and/or bleeding gums characterize gingivitis. These symptoms are most evident upon flossing and sometimes from brushing. |
