Community Service With The Anaheim Hills Rotary Club
On June 6, myself and 2 members of the Anaheim Hills Rotary Club provided instruction to 10 staff members at the Canyon Hills school who will utilize 100 electric toothbrushes and toothpaste donated by the Anaheim Hills Rotary Club. The brushes will aid the staff members with maintaining the oral hygiene of the 96 physically and mentally disabled children enrolled at the school. This was a feel good project.

The Green Tooth
- All the guesses are in to answer the question, how did this tooth turn green? And , the winner is Rio Waittier. This patient of mine needed to have a crown placed. He is a tattoo artist and his favorite color is green. He ask if we could make him a green crown and so we did. This tooth is perfectly healthy, free of any problems. Rio, when you want to have your teeth whitened, you’ll receive a 50% discount. Congratulations and great guessing!!
Angels Rotary Night To End Polio
For the third year, the Angels of Anaheim will host “Rotary Night to End Polio Now”. I am the chairperson for this event as the Anaheim Hills Rotary Club representative. On August 20, 2011, our goal along with other Rotary Clubs in our area is the raise at least $20,000.00 for The Rotary Foundation. Rotary International will soon eradicate Polio and other related disease from the face or the earth. Yes!!
Mobile Starbucks App For Your Phone
I just downloaded the new Starbuck’s Mobile App, very cool! You don’t need to carry a Starbuck’s card anymore. Now, they can just scan the bar code in my phone. I’ll bet credit cards and ATM cards are next.
Tooth That Turned Green. Yikes!!
Could your tooth turn green too?
How do you think this happened? Is this a fungal infection? A rotten tooth? Do you think this tooth hurts? Tell me your theories. Who ever can figure this one out, I’ll give you 50% discount on a custom tray whitening system, valued at $375.00. Keep those guesses coming, I’ll tell you how this happened later.
Sleep Apnea
Sleep Apnea is a potentially life-threatening condition that causes you to literally STOP BREATHING in your sleep. This can happen at least several times a night. Excess weight, natural aging, menopause, lifestyle, health history and genetics can put you at a greater risk for this condition.
When you fall asleep, your muscles relax and your lower jaw may drop back. When this happens the soft tissues in your throat and mouth can relax so much that it blocks your airway. Since you can’t breath, your brain starts losing oxygen and releases stress hormones that can be very harmful to your health over time.
These episodes can last 10 to 20 seconds each and occur hundreds of times throughout the night, every night. Sometimes you may not even be aware of what is happening since you are partially asleep you just wake up feeling exhausted.
Chronic sleep deprivation results in slow reflexes, poor concentration and an increased risk of you falling asleep at the wheel.
There are appliances that can be used to treat sleep apnea. They resemble a mouth guard or precision orthodontic retainer. These dental appliances are custom molded to fit your mouth comfortably. These appliances simply hold your tongue and jaw comfortably in the correct position as you sleep to make sure your airway stays clear. With uninterrupted sleep you will wake up refreshed and stay alert all day.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Take Your Fish Oil
The Omega 3 fatty acids, DHA in particular, found in fish oil may be linked to a lower risk of gum disease. This research has been reported in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association. Harvard Medical School’s Dr. Kenneth Mukamal and his colleages studied the diets of more than 9,000 adults between 1999 and 2004. They found that patients who consumed the most DHA were 22% less likely to develop periodontitis (a moderate form of gum disease) than those who consumed the least. Although further studies need to be done, Mukamal supports the American Heart Association recommendation of two meals per day of fatty fish for a wide variety of potentially beneficial effects on many organs. The benefits to gum health may be one of the benefits that has not been appreciated.
