Unitox Demonstrates Importance of Innovation in Medicine

| KarlJobst

Doctors operating in all manner of medical fields have a tremendous opportunity to drive innovation and improve the level of care patients receive, particularly when one considers the fact that doctors are in the unique position to identify an inefficiency and to work on creating a solution. A perfect example of a doctor taking full advantage of this opportunity can be found in Unitox, a specialty syringe designed for administering BOTOX.

The specialty syringe known as Unitox is the invention of Dr. Sid Solomon, a cosmetic dentist who is also the founder of the Center for Cosmetic, Implant and Neuromuscular Dentistry. Dr. Solomon recognized the opportunity before him when he observed the clearly inefficient practice of using syringes designed for Insulin during BOTOX procedures. In order to administer BOTOX while using these syringes, doctors were forced to convert the Insulin units to BOTOX units, a time-consuming process that could also lead to inaccurate measurements.

After making this simple observation, Dr. Solomon began developing a syringe that would eliminate the need for doctors to convert measurements during BOTOX procedures, thereby allowing doctors to focus on the care they provide to their patients rather than working on unit conversion formulas. The dentist then had his syringe patented and approved for use by the FDA, which has since been of great assistance to both doctors and patients alike.

The work of Dr. Solomon underscores the importance of innovation in the medical field. Rather than bemoaning the inefficiency of an established practice, Dr. Solomon set out to find a better way to serve patients through innovation and creativity. This is an important lesson for all doctors as well as other medical professionals, and it shows that a complacent approach can result in patients failing to receive the highest possible level of care. If more doctors follow Dr. Solomon’s lead, the medical industry will continue to move forward with new innovation that is extremely beneficial to patients.

Dr. Raouf Farag Might Be Able To Simplify Confusing Health Tips

Stop for a moment and think of your greatest wealth. Is it your car? Your watch? Your home, maybe? What if I told you that you’re wrong if you answer yes to any of those? The greatest wealth you have is your health. Your health cannot be purchased and once it goes downhill, it’s usually game over for you which is why taking care of yourself is highly important for a healthy life.

The subject of health isn’t one that many people connect with because there are so many things that go into living a healthy lifestyle, depending on who you talk to. Some people will say to exercise 15-30 minutes every day or at least get your heart rate up somehow. Other people will say eating your leafy greens is the way to go and to avoid red meat, but healthy gym goers will argue red meat is crucial to a strong body. Many other details go into living a healthy life and can again vary depending on who you speak with. Other health tips are:

  • Sleep at night and do not eat ANYTHING 1 hour before bed.
  • Make sure to get a minimum of 7 hours of sleep, but no more than 9 hours.
  • Sleeping during the day is bad for health (which is bad news for 3rd shift workers).

As you can probably understand, living a healthy life is confusing and complicated. Who is going to remember all this stuff every day? It would also seem living a healthy life would be stressful, so who do you go to when you want the plain simple truth and facts of staying healthy? Dr Raouf Farag along with many others are highly skilled and gifted in their knowledge and practice of good health and good health habits. If anyone can clear up the confusion and give you a plain and simple plan to follow through with every day, Dr. Raouf Farag is about as good of a choice as any if not better.

If you were to ask a personal trainer to give you a workout plan, this is also going to get complicated. They will want to do a series of tests on your body and probably even DNA tests to understand what foods your body works well with. Jim is unable to have carbs because they cause bloating, however, James is able to eat as many carbs as he wants because his DNA allows for it. This is just the tip of the iceberg of how complex health is and depending on your body type, body shape, structure, DNA, genetics, lifestyle, and much more, you are going to be given a program that is different than someone else.  In any case, do whatever it takes to protect your health, the greatest wealth you have.

I’m not Peter Lik, I’m a dentist.

There are many pros and cons when working inside someone’s mouth. The cons in my opinion would be breath, unsightly teeth and feeling someone’s tongue lick my fingers as I am working. The pros however greatly outweigh the cons and of course, one of those is the pay! I’m not saying I get paid like professional cameraman Peter Lik or anything, but I will say being a dentist provides luxuries.

Overall, I’d have to say I like my profession as a dentist because I am making a difference in someone’s life. I am helping a person take care of their teeth that you only get once. If that’s not helpful, I don’t know what is!

Smile

Smile and the world smiles back unless there are teeth missing.  Missing front teeth can be funny but more often they cause pain.  The missing front teeth are common in drug abusers and the poor. untitled (92) untitled (91) Though front missing teeth are embarrassing the teeth in the back of your mouth are the ones that are needed the most and when you cant afford dental care these are the ones that most people have pulled or are in the worst shape, cracked and damaged. The back teeth are also the most likely o have old filling in your teeth having lead in the filling which they are now having to replace because they say are not good for your health.  What have we done to are bodies in the name of science and progress.  Createurs De Luxe has that smile.

Toothache

untitled (351)A toothache is a warning that you have a serious dental issue.  There is no other pain that can be so painful and telling then a severe tooth ache.   Your teeth need to be one of the top most priority because if your teeth are in bad shape it can be a very health detriment .  It is so close to sinus and head and heart that and infection can spread rapidly in the body without knowing that you could have stop it with a check up and regular cleaning to prevent problems.  TMJ can also be a problem unknown without going to the dentist and avoid headaches and a locked jaw and breaking down of your teeth because of a poor bite.  http://www.huffingtonpost.com/david-jensen/hiring-guru-luke-weil-put_b_7195648.html is a link to pain killers.

Dental Pain

| KarlJobst

Dental pain is like no other.  It is your body telling you there is something wrong.  Dental problemsimagesMIHRFVWM imagesEQ0Z627U can be serious.  An infection can lead to fever and if not corrected even death, I don’t want to be over dramatic but dental problems are serious when ignored.  The pain usually results in a visit to the Dentist .  A dentist will try to get the problem under control with antibiotics but an infection can be tuff to deal with.  In a recent interview with my Dentist I found out that I will soon be losing another tooth.  I cant afford another crown so the tooth will have to go.

Implanted Teeth

| KarlJobst

untitled (31) untitled (30) images (3)Are you looking to have teeth implanted?  I think that it may be a good idea for some people.  If you teeth are ruined by years of abuse or dental disease then implants can be the answer.  The teeth that show are really important.  A missing tooth in the smile doesn’t send the right message.  Implants are not cheap.  In fact the average person will not be able to afford them.  A full set of teeth can cost thirty thousand dollars.  Ouch.  That alone is a reason to take care of your teeth.  Dove Medical Press has endorsed the implants as medically sound.

Teeth or Dentures?

| KarlJobst

untitled (72) images1H6VQQX8 images5GXQR8G8After years of poor dental health many of us will have to decide on dentures or implants.  Implants are very expensive and most insurances will not pay for them.  Dentures have been the answer for hundreds of years.  Teeth problems can effective you health in many ways.  The inflammation can lead to heart failure or stroke.  So living with rotten teeth is not a good idea.  Do you spend a grand for dentures or twenty five thousand for implants?  Jody Rookstool would say implants but she has more money than I. I will be getting dentures as that is all I can afford.  What will be your choice?  Good luck.

Take Control of Your Health

| KarlJobst

imagesKI6WBTI4If you depend on the doctor to tell you how to live your life you will fail.  Only you can make the changes needed to stay healthy.  What is healthy?  Well most think healthy is the absence of disease. I say healthy means much more.  Just imagine feeling good all day long.  Wanting to go for that walk.  Being pain free.  Those are the health issues that effect the quality of life.  I want to just be pain free so I can enjoy the simple things like walking through a forest or climbing a hill without losing my breath. I guess that as we get older these thing may be harder to achieve but should we stop trying? Firoz Patel on Twitter can tell you how to be healthier.

Do Inversion Tables help Back Pain?

| KarlJobst

I just had surgery and have had back problems for many many years that have been getting worse as I get older. I can tell when the weather is changing two days or more before it happens some days.imagesQB1H8GR4 I regress I had surgery where I was in a position that is like standing on your head for a few hours any way I that that because of my serve back pain I thought it would be hard to move in bed but then pain that I had was mostly in the surgery area the back pain had lessen for about a week before it really started to be as painful as get was before the surgery.  So I have brought an inversion table and I used it slowly as they say and it helps relieve the pain with the pain meds to a tolerated pain I walk better then I have for years.  It maybe in the mind but what ever helps at this point.   http://www.huffingtonpost.com/david-jensen/hiring-guru-luke-weil-put_b_7195648.html is a place to look for more information.
