recommend that you consider having them replaced</span></strong><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.0pt;">—and not
just because of their less aesthetically-pleasing appearance. Silver amalgam
fillings don’t bond as well to teeth—in order to make sure the filling is held
in place, it has to be prepared with “undercuts” that can weaken the tooth
structure and result in fractures. Amalgam fillings can also corrode over time
as they swell and expand, putting you at risk for cracks. Additional problems
can also occur as moisture and bacteria leak through microscopic spaces that
develop between the tooth and the filling over time. Often, if not given
immediate attention, this can cause a tooth to decay completely and/or break.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

making them much more proficient in bonding, and definitely superior. In fact, such
fillings can actually help strengthen teeth. And of course they’re much more
aesthetically pleasing.</span></b></em><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 8.5pt;">While people have different colors
of skin and hair, they also have genetic differences in tooth color. Some
teeth are more yellow, while others yellow with aging. Natural tooth color
can be discolored by a number of causes. The surface of the teeth can be
stained by tobacco, coffee, tea, berries and other foods as well as by
deposits of calculus (which is better known as tartar).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 8.5pt;">Discoloration of the tooth
internally can also result from aging, injuries, excessive fluoride, certain
illnesses and taking antibiotic tetracycline during early childhood. Although
bleaching successfully lightens most discolorations, certain types (like
those caused by tetracycline) are more difficult to remove.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 8.5pt;">With in-home whitening, the
dentist makes an impression for a model of the teeth, fabricates a
custom-fitted tray and prescribes a whitening agent that comes in the form of
a bleaching gel. The gel is placed in the custom-fitted tray and worn up to
two hours daily or at night for about two weeks. The amount of time the
custom-fitted tray is worn and the duration may vary according to a person’s
individual need and the recommendations of the dentist. The dentist will
monitor the entire process of in-home whitening to assure its effectiveness
and safety.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

self-administered are not recommended, although they may appear to cost less.
Whitening treatment should be done under the supervision of a dentist
following a proper exam and diagnosis. Whiteners with the ADA Seal of
Acceptance have proven to be safe and effective.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

told, <a href="http://www.duttondds.com/treatment.php?treatment=55"><span style="color: blue; mso-themecolor: hyperlink;">bleeding gums</span></a> are
not normal and shouldn’t be ignored. Would you be concerned if your hands
bleed every time you wash them? Your gums are no different.<br />
<br />
Bleeding that occurs when you floss, brush, or eat is usually caused by a
bacterial infection and represents one of the first symptoms of gum disease
(Periodontal Disease). Researchers are finding links between periodontal
infection and other diseases of the human body. Heart Disease, Diabetes,
Respiratory Disease, Osteoporosis, Artificial Joints, and Pregnancy
complications seem to be connected to your oral health. The current theory
is that bacteria present in infected gums breaks loose, travels though your
bloodstream, and attaches itself to your heart or other body parts. A
recent study found that 85% of heart-attack patients have periodontal
disease, making this connection higher than the relationship between high
cholesterol and heart attacks.<br />

Should You Do?</span></b><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br />
<br />
Keep your mouth healthy! It is not “just a cleaning” anymore. See your <a href="http://www.duttondds.com/"><span style="color: blue; mso-themecolor: hyperlink;">dentist</span></a> or hygienist at least twice a year for
periodic maintenance and screening. Periodontal disease is often painless
until it reaches more advanced stages, however there is a simple test that
your dental team can use to uncover this problem even in its beginning
stages. Like most diseases of the body early detection is essential. Also,
remember to brush and floss. You will need to be an active participant in
prevention. Gum disease is a serious infection that should always be taken
seriously.<br />

Take a Self-Evaluation Quiz<br />

If you answer yes to any of the following questions you may have
periodontal disease.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
Over 80% of adults have gum disease. Smoking, excessive alcohol, diet, and
poor oral hygiene can contribute to the onset and progression of the
disease, but genetics seem to play a significant role. If there is a
history of gum disease or premature tooth loss with your parents or
siblings your chance of having this disease is extremely high.<br />
<br />

<br />
A better understanding of this disease has created new treatment
alternatives.<br />
Antibiotics, deep cleanings, laser treatments, mouth rinses, and homecare,

individually or in combination, are reducing the need for more aggressive
options like<br />
Surgery.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">The best way to
understand plaque is to think of it as a thin, invisible film of sticky
bacteria and other unfriendly materials that coats the surfaces of your teeth.
When sugars and starches come in contact with plaque, an acid is created that
can attack your teeth for up to 20 minutes after you finish eating! Repeated
attacks can break down tooth enamel, which can lead to cavities, decay, and gum
disease.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.0pt;">Tooth sensitivity is caused by the stimulation of cells within
tiny tubes located in the dentin (the layer of tissue found beneath the hard
enamel that contains the inner pulp). When the hard enamel is worn down or gums
have receded-causing the tiny tube surfaces to be exposed-pain can be caused by
eating or drinking food and beverages that are hot or cold; touching your
teeth; or exposing them to cold air.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.0pt;">Hot and cold temperature changes cause your teeth to expand and
contract. Over time, your teeth can develop microscopic cracks that allow these
sensations to seep through to the nerves. Exposed areas of the tooth can cause
pain and even affect or change your eating, drinking and breathing habits.
Taking a spoonful of ice cream, for example, can be a <a href="http://www.duttondds.com/treatment.php?treatment=11">painful experience</a>
for people with sensitive teeth.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.0pt;">Sensitive teeth are one of the most common complaints among

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.0pt;">Some toothpastes contain abrasive ingredients that may be too
harsh for people who have sensitive teeth. Ingredients found in some whitening
toothpastes that lighten and/or remove certain stains from enamel, and sodium
pyrophosphate, the key ingredient in tartar-control toothpastes may increase
tooth sensitivity.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.0pt;">To prevent sensitivity from occurring, use a soft-bristled
toothbrush. Avoid using hard bristled toothbrushes and brushing your teeth too
hard, which can wear down the tooth’s root surface and expose sensitive spots.
The way to find out if you’re brushing your teeth too hard is to take a good
look at your toothbrush. If the bristles are pointing in multiple directions,
you’re brushing too hard.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.0pt;">If a tooth is highly sensitive for more than three or four days,
and reacts to hot and cold temperatures, it’s best to get a diagnostic
evaluation from your dentist to determine the extent of the problem. Before taking
the situation into your own hands, an accurate diagnosis of tooth sensitivity
is essential for effective treatment to eliminate pain. Because pain symptoms
can be similar, some people might think that a tooth is sensitive, when
instead, they actually have a cavity or abscess that’s not yet visible.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.0pt;">Sensitivity may be defined as a short sharp pain, which is
usually initiated by hot or cold foods or exposure to cold air. Aching often
follows. Because sensitivity may mean different things to a patient and dental
professional, be sure to clarify exactly what you feel when you discuss the
condition with your dentist. Be sure to tell the dentist when the pain started
and if there is anything, such as the application of a warm compress, that
helps eliminate the pain.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.0pt;">Toothpastes for sensitive teeth usually contain a desensitizing
agent that protects the exposed dentin by blocking the tubes in the teeth that
are connected to nerves. In most cases, these products must be used on a
regular basis for at least a month before any therapeutic benefits may be
noticed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.0pt;">Dentists have a variety of regimens to manage tooth hypersensitivity,
including both in-office treatments and patient-applied products for home use.
If you are diagnosed with dentin hypersensitivity, your dentist may apply a
desensitizing agent or a protective coating. You may be prescribed a stannous
fluoride gel or an over-the-counter desensitizing toothpaste containing
fluoride and either potassium nitrate or strontium chloride. These ingredients
help block transmission of sensation from the tooth to the nerve. It also might
help to massage the special paste onto your gums with your finger after
brushing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.0pt;">Listen closely to your dentist’s instructions. He or she may
advise you not to eat or drink for a short period of time, to eliminate all sources
of irritation, such as acidic foods or medication, highly concentrated foods or
flavored toothpastes. You may also be instructed to change oral hygiene habits
that are likely to cause abrasion or use a daily fluoride application (a rinse
or brush-on gel.)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

and less time waiting for the x-rays to be ready. Viewing digital x-rays with <a href="http://www.duttondds.com/staff.php">our office</a> means patients
will have a better understanding of their dental needs and will be able to make
informed decisions about their treatment.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="background: #FFFFFE; line-height: 13.5pt; margin-bottom: 11.25pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">People tend to think of
beautiful straight teeth as a purely cosmetic concern – a luxury rather than a
necessity. However, teeth that are crooked, stained, or have other problems can
cause physiological problems in the rest of the body or can be an indicator of
other health problems.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #fffffe; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 13.5pt; margin-bottom: 11.25pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Crooked and crowded teeth are hard to <a href="http://www.duttondds.com/treatment.php?treatment=5">clean properly,</a>
potentially leading to tooth decay, gum disease, and tooth loss. A bad bite can also cause abnormal wear of
tooth surfaces, poor speech, and excessive stress on the jaw bone and gum
tissue.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #fffffe; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 13.5pt; margin-bottom: 11.25pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><a href="http://www.duttondds.com/treatment.php?treatment=49">Poor
bites</a> can also influence chewing and swallowing and food selection –
leading to nutritional problems. Pain in the jaw or teeth can lead to pain in
the head, neck, shoulders, or elsewhere in the body. Oral pain often leads to
diminished activity, lost work days, depression, sleep problems, and missed
school for children.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #fffffe; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 13.5pt; margin-bottom: 11.25pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">In addition, problems with your teeth can be an indicator of
whole-body health issues. Scientific
research indicates a link between gum disease and many other overall health
problems including: high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, arthritis, premature
births and many more.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #fffffe; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 13.5pt; margin-bottom: 11.25pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Sometimes teeth can reveal a previously unknown health condition.
Conditions that can be detected in the mouth include diabetes (causes <a href="http://www.duttondds.com/treatment.php?treatment=55">gum infections</a>),
acid reflux (teeth are much more prone to decay), some auto-immune disorders
(the soft tissue in the mouth and salivary glands can be affected), liver
diseases (the soft tissue in the mouth is jaundiced) and many more.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #fffffe; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 13.5pt; margin-bottom: 11.25pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">On the other hand, teeth that are well-cared for have a host of
psychological and physiological benefits. If you visit your doctor regularly
you can avoid infections in the mouth that could spread to the rest of the
body. If your bite is well-aligned, your
mouth will be comfortable, you’ll be able to speak easily, and you can eat
anything you want. A beautiful smile can
increase your self-esteem and encourage you to smile more (something everyone
could use!). And increased self-confidence generates success.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">When most people think of foods
that can harm your teeth, they think of candy. <strong>However, there are a lot of other
foods to avoid</strong>, u<strong>nfortunately,
many of them are popular during the holidays. <a href="http://www.duttondds.com/"><span style="font-weight: normal;"> We</span></a> want you to be aware of your
choices.</strong><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #fffffe; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 13.5pt; margin-bottom: 11.25pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Sugar:</span></strong><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Sugar,
of course, is the #1 culprit in causing cavities. The worst offenders are
sticky foods like lollipops, hard candies, and gum drops. They give you a
double whammy. Not only are they high in sugar, but they also stick to your
teeth for a long time after you eat. Surprisingly chocolate is less likely to
be a culprit because it binds with fat molecules and doesn’t stick to teeth as
well as other candies. If you do eat a lot of sugary foods, try to do so at
mealtimes when increased saliva can wash sugar off teeth.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #fffffe; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 13.5pt; margin-bottom: 11.25pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Starches:</span></strong><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Bread
and potatoes are very popular parts of traditional holiday meals. But, the
refined flour in white bread and the starch in potatoes are essentially sugars
and so will affect your teeth the same way refined sugar does. So cut back on
those rolls, mashed potatoes, holiday cookies, and potato chips.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #fffffe; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 13.5pt; margin-bottom: 11.25pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Alcohol:</span></strong><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">An
occasional drink at a holiday party is okay. But excess alcohol wears away
tooth enamel, discoloring teeth and making them vulnerable to cavities.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #fffffe; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 13.5pt; margin-bottom: 11.25pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">The good news is there are a lot of foods that are healthy for
your teeth as well. In general most
fruits and vegetables help strengthen your teeth – as do a lot of foods
containing protein.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #fffffe; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 13.5pt; margin-bottom: 11.25pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Fruits and Vegetables:</span></strong><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Any fruit or veggie with a lot of fiber will
help out. Onions, celery, kiwis, parsley, and apples are all singled out by
experts as being particularly good for your teeth. So look for holiday recipes
that include these foods.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #fffffe; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 13.5pt; margin-bottom: 11.25pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Dairy Products:</span></strong><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">In
general cheese, yogurt, milk, and other dairy products (without added sugar),
are good choices for the teeth. They help generate saliva which washes sugars
off the teeth and they contain calcium, which strengthens them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

are in close proximity with the surfaces of the trachea and lower airway,
bacteria that reside in the oral cavity can be breathed into the lower airway,
causing infection. These bacteria may be pathogenic bacteria which are not
normal members of the oral flora or they may be opportunistic organisms.
Additionally, oral inflammation, for example, in the form of gum disease, can
result in the release of biologically active inflammatory mediators into the
oral fluids that may also be breathed into the airway and cause inflammation
and increased susceptibility to infection.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">Recent
evidence suggests that oral bacteria and oral inflammation can be associated
with respiratory diseases and conditions that can cause serious illness and
even death. Furthermore, some respiratory illnesses, such as asthma, may
have an effect on oral facial morphology or even on dentition. There are
several important respiratory diseases that may be influenced by oral bacteria
or oral inflammation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

- Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs that is caused by bacteria,
mycoplasma, viruses, fungi, or parasites. Bacterial pneumonia is a common
and significant cause of death and illness in the human populations.
Pneumonia, together with influenza, is an important cause of throughout
the world. Pneumonia also contributes to morbidity and a decline in the
quality of life as well as increased medical costs. Bacterial pneumonia
is composed of several subtypes, all of which have a correlation to oral health
status.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) - Patients with COPD have chronic airflow
obstruction due to narrowing of the airways, with excess production of sputum
resulting from chronic bronchitis and/or emphysema. Chronic bronchitis is
defined as the result of irritation to the bronchial airway and excessive
secretion of mucus sufficient to cause cough with expectoration for at least
three months of the year over two consecutive years. Emphysema results
from the distention of the air spaces next to the terminal bronchiole with
destruction of the alveolar septa. Although this condition is associated
with certain symptoms, the definitive diagnosis of emphysema can only be made
by observation on a tissue level.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">Recent
research points to possible associations between oral health, especially dental
plaque and gum disease, and respiratory diseases such as community-acquired
pneumonia and COPD. Further research into these associations may allow development
and routine implementation of simple and effective strategies to prevent
respiratory disease in vulnerable populations.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">If you have <a href="http://www.duttondds.com/treatment.php?treatment=55">gum disease</a>,
you're not alone. Many U.S. adults currently have some form of the disease. It
ranges from simple gum inflammation, called gingivitis, to serious damage to
the tissue and bone supporting the teeth. In the worst cases, you can lose
teeth.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 14.25pt; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">In gingivitis, the gums become
red and swollen. They can bleed easily. Gingivitis is a mild form of gum
disease. You can usually reverse it with daily brushing and flossing and
regular cleanings by a <a href="http://www.duttondds.com/staff.php">dentist or
dental hygienist</a>. Untreated gingivitis can lead to periodontitis. If you
have periodontitis, the gums pull away from the teeth and form pockets that
become infected. If not treated, the bones, gums and connective tissue that
support the teeth are destroyed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 1em;">
ORLANDO, Florida (Reuters) - Regular visits to the dentist for tooth cleaning may provide more than just a brighter smile.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em;">
According to data compiled by researchers in Taiwan, people who had their teeth professionally scraped and cleaned had a 24 percent lower risk of heart attack and 13 percent lower risk of stroke compared to those who never had a dental cleaning.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em;">
Poor oral hygiene has been associated with an increased risk of heart disease.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em;">
The researcher who presented the findings of the multi-year study at the American Heart Association scientific meeting in Orlando on Sunday surmised that professional tooth cleaning appears to reduce inflammation-causing bacterial growth that can lead to heart disease.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em;">
"Protection from heart disease and stroke was more pronounced in participants who got tooth scaling at least once a year," said Dr. Zu-Yin Chen, a cardiology fellow at Veterans General Hospital in Taipei, who presented the findings.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em;">
The analysis of more 100,000 people beginning in 2007 was based on data in the Taiwan National Health insurance data base. None of the study subjects had a history of prior heart attack or stroke, but the analysis did not adjust for risk factors such as smoking or obesity.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em;">
Researchers said a higher frequency of professional tooth cleaning led to a greater reduction in heart risk. They defined higher frequency as at least two visits to the dentist for a cleaning in two years.</div>

conducted in 2011, by CareerBuilder, employers shared which personal attributes
would MAKE AN EMPLOYEE LESS APPEALING FOR A PROMOTION. The survey was conducted by Harris

dental field, we found it very interesting that the second highest factor that
would deter a possible promotion was BAD BREATH!! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

spouse or family member rather than the actual offender. Bad breath, or

<div class="MsoNormal">
Each year Americans catch more than one billion colds,
making the cold virus the most common infectious disease in the United States.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If your immune system is impaired, on the other hand, it's
akin to having an open-door policy for viruses; they'll easily take hold in
your body. So the simple and short answer is, you catch a cold due to
impairment in your immune system. There are many ways this can result, but the
more common contributing factors are: </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Eating too much sugar and too many grains</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Not getting enough rest</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Using insufficient strategies to address emotional stressors
in your life</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Vitamin D deficiency, as discussed below</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Any combination of the above</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Vitamin D Deficiency: Another Reason You May
"Catch" a Cold</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It's estimated that the average U.S. adult typically has two
to four colds each year, while children may have up to 12! One reason for the
widespread prevalence may be that vitamin D deficiency is incredibly common in
the United States, especially during the winter months when cold (and flu)
viruses are at their peak.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Research has confirmed that "catching" colds and
flu may actually be a symptom of an underlying vitamin D deficiency. Less than
optimal vitamin D levels will significantly impair your immune response and
make you far more susceptible to contracting colds, influenza, and other
respiratory infections.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In the largest and most nationally representative study of
its kind to date, involving about 19,000 Americans, people with the lowest
vitamin D levels reported having significantly more recent colds or cases of
the flu -- and the risk was even greater for those with chronic respiratory
disorders like asthma.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
At least five additional studies also show an inverse
association between lower respiratory tract infections and vitamin D levels,
and you can read about them in detail here. But the research is very clear, the
higher your vitamin D level, the lower your risk of contracting colds, flu, and
other respiratory tract infections.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It's not surprising, then, that the average American gets so
many colds each year, as current guidelines for optimal intake and normal
vitamin D levels are far too low -- and since most people do not get adequate
sun exposure on a daily basis (which is what produces vitamin D in your skin)
many are deficient. I strongly believe you could avoid colds and influenza
entirely by maintaining your vitamin D level in the optimal range.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
How quickly you bounce back is typically defined by you and
your collective lifestyle habits -- and this does not mean popping
over-the-counter cough and cold remedies or fever reducers. In fact, as long as
your temperature remains below 102 degrees Fahrenheit (38.9 degrees Celsius)
there is no need to lower it.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Cold viruses do not reproduce at higher body temperatures,
so a slight fever should help you get rid of the virus quicker and help you to
feel better much sooner.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You should avoid taking over-the-counter pain-relief
medications as well, as a study showed that people who take aspirin and Tylenol
(acetaminophen) suppress their body's ability to produce antibodies to destroy
the cold virus. Aspirin has even been linked to lung complications including
pulmonary edema, an abnormal build up of fluid in your lungs, when taken in
excess.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You should only use these medications when absolutely
necessary, such as if you have a temperature greater than 105 degrees F (40.5
degrees C), severe muscle aches or weakness.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Hydrogen Peroxide: A
Simple Trick to Beat a Cold<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I don't advise over-the-counter medications, but one simple
treatment you can try that is surprisingly effective against upper respiratory
infections is hydrogen peroxide.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Many patients at my Natural Health Center have had
remarkable results in curing colds and flu within 12 to 14 hours when
administering a few drops of 3 percent hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into each ear.
You will hear some bubbling, which is completely normal, and possibly feel a
slight stinging sensation.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Wait until the bubbling and stinging subside (usually 5 to
10 minutes), then drain onto a tissue and repeat with the other ear. A bottle
of hydrogen peroxide in 3 percent solution is available at any drug store for a
couple of dollars or less. It is simply amazing how many people respond to this
simple, inexpensive treatment.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So What Else Can You do to Recover From a Cold, Quicker …
and Prevent One in the First Place?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As I said above, the number one way to conquer a cold (or
flu) is vitamin D. Vitamin D is an amazingly effective antimicrobial agent,
producing 200 to 300 different antimicrobial peptides in your body that kill
bacteria, viruses and fungi. So optimizing your levels will not only help send
a cold virus packing … it will help ward off cold viruses in the first place.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The best source for vitamin D is direct sun exposure. But
for many of us, this just isn't practical during the winter. The next best
option to sunlight is the use of a safe indoor tanning device. If neither
natural nor artificial sunlight is an option, then using oral vitamin D3
supplements is your best bet.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Based on the latest research, many experts now agree you
need about 35 IU's of vitamin D per pound of body weight. This recommendation
also includes children, the elderly and pregnant women.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
However, keep in mind that vitamin D requirements are highly
individual, as your vitamin D status is dependent on numerous factors, such as
the color of your skin, your location, and how much sunshine you're exposed to
on a regular basis. So, although these recommendations may put you closer to
the ballpark of what most people likely need, it is simply impossible to make a
blanket recommendation that will cover everyone's needs.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The only way to determine your optimal dose is to get your
blood tested. Ideally, you'll want to maintain a vitamin D level of 50-65 ng/ml
year-round.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dietary Strategies to Kick a Cold</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you feel yourself coming down with a cold or flu, this is
NOT the time to be eating ANY sugar, artificial sweeteners or processed foods.
Sugar is particularly damaging to your immune system -- which needs to be
ramped up, not suppressed, in order to combat an emerging infection.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So if you are fighting a cold, you'll want to avoid all
sugar like the plague, and this includes sugar in the form of fruit juice and
even grains (which break down as sugar in your body).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So when you're coming down with a cold, it's time to address
ALL of the contributing factors immediately, which includes tweaking your diet
in favor of foods that will strengthen your immune response. Good choices
include:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Raw, grass-fed organic milk, and/or high-quality whey
protein</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Fermented foods such as raw kefir, kimchee, miso, pickles,
sauerkraut, etc, which are rich in probiotics, or good bacteria. Scientific
research shows that 80 percent of your immune system resides inside your
digestive tract, so eating probiotic-rich foods, or taking a high-quality
probiotic, will help support your immune system health.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Raw, organic eggs from free-ranging, preferably local,
chickens</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Grass-fed beef</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Coconuts and coconut oil</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Animal-based omega-3 fats, such as krill oil</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Locally grown fruits and vegetables, appropriate for your
nutritional type</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Mushrooms, especially Reishi, Shiitake, and Maitake, which
contain beta glucans (which have immune-enhancing properties)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Garlic, a potent antimicrobial that kills bacteria, viruses
and fungi. Ideally this should be in fresh form, eaten raw and crushed with a
spoon just before eating.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Herbs and spices with high ORAC scores: Turmeric, oregano,
cinnamon, cloves </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Make sure you are drinking plenty of fresh, pure water. Water
is essential for the optimal function of every system in your body and will
help with nose stuffiness and loosening secretions. You should drink enough
water so that your urine is a light, pale yellow.</div>
