Crest Pro-Health Case Studies

If left untreated, pulp infection can lead to abscess, destruction of bone, and systemic infection (Cawson et al. 1982; USDHHS 2000). Various sources have concluded that water fluoridation has been an effective method for preventing dental decay (Newbrun 1989; Ripa 1993; Horowitz 1996; CDC 2001; Truman et al. 2002). Water fluoridation is supported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as one of the 10 great public health achievements in the United States, because of its role in reducing tooth decay in children and tooth loss in adults (CDC 1999). Each U.S. Surgeon General has endorsed water fluoridation over the decades it has been practiced, emphasizing that “[a] significant advantage of water fluoridation is that all residents of a community can enjoy its protective benefit…. A person’s income level or ability to receive dental care is not a barrier to receiving fluoridation’s health benefits” (Carmona 2004). As noted earlier, this report does not evaluate nor make judgments about the benefits, safety, or efficacy of artificial water fluoridation. That practice is reviewed only in terms of being a source of exposure to

If not treated gingivitis can turn into periodontal disease. According to (British Society of Periodontology), the risk factors of periodontal disease are high for people who smoke, family history and stress. Angela presented herself as a smoker and stressed which all related to periodontal disease. Periodontal diseases are split into different types and classifications according to the specific etiology affirms (Nield-Gehrig & Willmann

Dentures are removable appliances that can replace missing teeth and help restore a patient’s smile. There are many steps involved in providing dentures. Firstly, patients must schedule an appointment at the dental office. Patients

At first I was really nervous to disclose to the class things that make me who I am. When I was preparing my crest I learned what I am comfortable sharing with others and what I am not, but I still shared several things I wasn’t 100% comfortable sharing with the class. When I was explaining my crest I felt comfortable because everyone was respectful and I felt safe in the classroom. After I was done explaining my crest I felt really good that I was able to share these things with my colleagues. I realized that it is so important to talk about ourselves with others and disclose to a certain point because it is healthy and brings people closer together.

Many people realize the importance of taking care of their teeth due to the immediate consequences of cavities, but it’s easy to underestimate the importance of having healthy gums. Signs of periodontal disease, often referred to as gum disease, may not be noticeable until the infection has occurred. These are three warning signs that your oral health problems are due to periodontal disease.

Crest, a toothpaste company, is known to be one of the world’s biggest dental hygiene businesses. They sell many products, including floss, toothpaste, toothbrushes, teeth whitening, and mouthwash. Their advertisements are in magazines, on television, and heard on the radio. The most common place one hears promotional Crest advertising is at your local dentist and orthodontist office. These Crest products may even be advertised in one’s own bathroom near the faucet. Crest’s main purpose of this advertisement is to lets its audience know the severity of oral hygiene. Crest’s uses efficient advertising to get its main message across by persuading its audience into buying its product by, explaining necessary precautions, targeting the appropriate audience, introducing credible information, playing on emotions, using strategic devices, and using creative weasel words.

Heart Disease – Scientists think that the swelling associated with gum disease may be the link between heart disease and periodontal disease. Furthermore, gum disease can negatively affect existing heart conditions. For this reason, individuals who are at an increased risk for infective endocarditis may need to receive antibiotics before dental procedures are performed.

This article is about the intervention to reduce plantar pressure, heal and prevent foot ulcers in people with diabetes. People who use insulin are at higher risk of developing foot ulcers, even people who have other diseases including kidney disease, eye disease, or heart disease. Use of alcohol and tobacco, and being overweight play a key role in the development of foot ulcers. Ulcers form due to the combination of different factors, including poor circulation, foot deformities, irritation (friction or pressure), trauma, and lack of feeling in the foot. People who had diabetes for many years can develop neuropathy, a reduced or complete lack of ability to feel pain in the foot due to the nerve damage caused by the elevated glucose levels over time. Redness and swelling of the foot may also be associated with ulceration, and if it’s progressed significantly, an odor may be present.

Gum disease is a risk factor for coronary artery disease following reviews of several studies

Diabetes: Another point worth noting is that diabetes could be a precursor to gum disease. People who have diabetes are at a higher risk of developing infections. Gum disease is an infection, which may partially explain the connection between diabetes and

2. Review of factors which might influence the success rate of conventional fixed partial dentures:

A diabetic patient with an elevated blood glucose level causes the narrowing of blood vessels and the stiffening of arteries, as well as causing a decrease in the function of red blood cells (cells that deliver nutrients to the tissues), which means that white blood cells are also less efficient and cannot fight off infection. When blood vessels are narrowed, blood and oxygen flow to the wound is decreased. The combination of these effects means a wound cannot receive proper nutrients or oxygen, resulting in slower and less effective wound healing.

Diabetes affects nearly 30 million Americans each year. Diabetes is a disease that can cause problems with the eyes, nerves, kidneys, and heart. Oral health problems associated with diabetes are lesser known, but equally important. Diabetics who do not have good control over their blood sugar levels tend to have more oral health problems. The most common oral health problem associated with diabetics is gingivitis. Gingivitis is an inflammation usually caused by the presence of bacteria in plaque. This inflammation can cause the destruction of the tissues that support your teeth, gums, bones, and fibers that surround the teeth. Other oral health problems that can come about are: tooth decay, periodontal (gum) disease, salivary gland dysfunction, fungal infections, lichen planus and lichenoid reactions (inflammatory skin disease), infection/delayed healing, and taste impairment. It is important to keep medical records up to date and inform the dentist if the disease is under control. They also need to be aware of any changes in the medical history and the names of all prescriptions and over the counter medications taken. Regular dental check-ups are advised for every patient, but even more so for diabetics.
