Essay On Bipa Exposure

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

There has been quite a controversy on whether dental amalgam is safe for the patients as well as the practitioners who

It is important that we have this knowledge and constantly build on it because there still isn’t any valid ground. We can say “we think this can happen” but as more studies come out we can change that thought or idea into a valid explanation. Although you can’t convince every person into believing something, having proof behind your explanation is going to be more persuasive than just stating what you’ve heard.

Medicalization/pg.220 the transformation of a human condition into a matter to be treated by physicians. Towards the middle and end of this video they really begin to talk about the medical issues that DOW brings about Midland Michigan, it’s a shame that people have to suffer for other people. This also if those people are suffering when are we going to start suffering from drinking water from the bottles also known as the chemicals that are in our bottles from that plant. They already say don’t do this and don’t do that with a water bottles, it can cause cancer, or this or that. I for one am kind of against the production of water bottles and the use of them, but it doesn’t mean ill stop using them because they are so convent. Its honestly just a shame the human condition of these people, and our they are being treated. I think DOW and even nestle for the fast should be doing something to help these sick people, help the ones who lost someone, and get them out of their houses, so they aren’t so close to the plant. Quite honestly is sort of scary to think about how own day the sick people in that video could be a member of our society because of the cracker going in close to us…I think that BPA needs to get a grip of things, and if the bottles we are drinking water are not only killing people who live by the plants but can also affect us who drink from them, then something needs to change. We

Seven-year-old Carlos Smith came to Universal Pediatric Dental Clinic for his first dental appointment. During his dental visit his hygienist learned he has a sweet tooth and rather drink juice/soda than water and never turn down candy. He is a big chocolate fan, of course the gummy stuff, the Mike, cheerios and Ikes. His hygienist already see two area of caries on his primary teeth. Dr. Jonathan CalBrim, suggested dental sealants, which could help keep tooth decay at Carlos’ permanent molar as well as other teeth. His parents had no idea about caries as well as sealant. His parents have many questions and worried that information may not have been disclosed to public about sealant.

The overall food contamination by Bisphenol A is unknown, but the nutrition/ health impact of this chemical is an important subject to be discussed for all individuals. The main aim of one study recently analyzed was to assess the reproductive impact of BPA leached from regularly available polycarbonate plastic containers. The bottles specifically chosen for testing were those that were used by children. The migration of BPA occurs in polycarbonate plastics (i.e. water bottles and baby bottles). Toxicology reports show society the importance of evaluating these products before purchase and consumption as a consumer. For a particular experiment, researchers used Daphnia Magna, a small flea that cleans and absorbs particles that infect the solution they are placed in, and bred them in the polycarbonate containers. A control group was created using water bottles without the infection of these creatures. A GC-MS machine to detect the level of BPA released by each polycarbonate plastic then evaluated the water. An increase in the reproduction of BPA was detected when the Daphnia Magna were bred inside the container. Although these organisms effected the leaching of Bisphenol A, the GC-MS was able to detect, through the control group, that BPA is released without DM. An Eco toxicological effect was observed through all of this testing, and provided evidence to substantiate the fact that Bisphenol A is leached from polycarbonate plastics. The BPA was further analyzed in the Daphnia

Then Oil mention Bisphenol A or BPA is used to make polycarbonate plastic which is now banned in Canada and European Union (Bridge and Le Billon, pg. 81). Also, some countries of the world are banning or put some sort of tax on plastics. This makes one to wonder why these countries are reducing or stop using plastic all together. Of course it might be that they see the health and environmental issues behind using plastic products. This causes the mass production of plastic bottles and now they are everywhere.

The purpose of it was to find any correlations between caries prevalence, specifically baby bottle tooth decay (BBTD), and water fluoridation status. The results for the prevalence of BBTD among children attending Head Start sites in optimally and suboptimally fluoridated water supplies were of interest. The total sample data indicated a significantly lower BBTD prevalence in optimally fluoridated water supplies. The prevalence among children for whom fluoridation is usually either lacking or totally missing fluoride was more than double that of children whose water almost always contained optimal fluoride levels. Thus, the data suggests that BBTD has a significant association with fluoridation

Arguments in favor of BPA’s continued commercial use center on the assertion that each exposure is so minimal that the lifetime risk to human health is not serious enough to call for a ban on a chemical with a variety of commercial applications. While the argument appears to focus on degree of exposure rather than on a debate about whether or not chemicals do, in fact, have the potential to leach, vulnerabilities in certain individuals make the specific “safe” exposure level difficult to identify definitively.

Recent research, however, has consistently shown it to be an insufficient and not an effective form of prevention to tooth decay. In the most largely conducted longitudinal study following infants through childhood, there has been no correlation with increased fluorine concentration in water and decreased tooth decay (Warren, 2008). Yet, there was a correlation between increased water fluoridation and increased dental fluorosis (Warren, 2008). These results align closely with that of the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDR) study conducted in 1986-1987. When water fluoride concentration was less than 0.3mg/L, 55.5% children were shown to have tooth decay, while the children with dental fluorosis was 14.6% (Yiamouyiannnis, 1990). However, as the water fluoride concentration increased to over 1.2mg/L, the incidence of children with tooth decay was 56.4%, while the incidence of children with fluorosis rose significantly to 40.5% (Yiamouyiannnis, 1990). Fluoridation of water has also been shown to be

is a difficult chemical to escape -- it's in so many plastic products from water bottles and sippy cups to contact lenses and toys. Controversial studies linking BPA to health risks, particularly reproductive risks, prompted companies to go the "BPA-free" route. But new research from the University of California - Los Angeles (UCLA) Health Sciences says not so fast: BPS (Bisphenol S), a replacement for BPA that technically makes products BPA-free, is probably not safe either.

Currently, the majority of the United States is fluoridating with industrial waste without sound scientific evidence of the potential environmental and health impacts. The American Dental Association and other governmental agencies rely on bad science that was done over seventy years ago to justify water fluoridation. The governmental agencies continue to claim it safeguards against cavities. However, recent studies have proven there is no correlation between fluoride and cavity prevention. Communities without fluoridation are shown to have the same decline in cavities as non-fluoridated communities. These results can be attributed to improved diets and dental healthcare. Furthermore, the studies that are being conducted on health prove that fluoridation irreversibly harms the body. Extensive studies on the effects of fluoridation in the environment also need to occur.

Waterline treatment has become the topic of the day, and its product sets are growing year over year at an astounding 15% growth. Why is that? Take a look at what has been going on in the news lately and you will find that the media has it out there. Children and immunocompromised individuals are most susceptible to waterborne illnesses related to dental unit waterlines. These waterlines are the lines that service into the client’s mouth. Water traveling through high speed hand pieces, air water syringe tips, ultrasonic scaling units, ultimately transports these troublesome issues. As studies become available the awareness of waterline treatment has been stirred. It is all about the client’s

The world prison population has increased by 25-30% in the last 15 years. 144 people per 100,000 globally are prisoners. To meet the oral health needs of prisoners at this growing rate there has not been a corresponding increase in the level of dental health services. The growth in the number of prisoners has placed huge demands for dental healthcare services in prison settings. The majority of prisoners are young. However, there has been a sharp increase in the number of older prisoners due to longer sentences being given for serious crimes. Both age groups have significantly different oral health needs. Young prisoners have a high number of decayed surfaces and gingival bleeding scores. Older prisoners have more missing teeth and periodontal

Personal health – water’s very often bottled in #1 PET or PETE (polyethylene terephthalate) bottles which may or may not leach a known carcinogen into the water known as DEHA. Experts have, as a result of numerous studies, agreed that you should not re-use #1 plastic bottles at all. Plastics numbered 3,6 and 7 however are even worse. This is due to them containing Bisphenol A or BPA which is thought to cause neurological and behavioural problems in unborn children and children of infant age. BPA actually mimics the female hormone estrogen, which can have a number of detrimental effects such as brain cancer, breast cancer and even prostate cancer. It’s also reported to
