Expert Johnson City, TN Oral Surgeons Offer the Most Advanced Sedation Dentistry Available


The Oral Surgeons of Associated Oral and Implant Surgeons in Johnson City, Kingsport and Bristol, TN

Associated Oral and Implant Surgeons Offer In-Office Sedation and Anesthesia Options

Our oral surgery staff has undergone extensive training in outpatient ambulatory sedation, so that the patient is treated in the safest, most comfortable environment possible.

The skilled oral surgeons of Associated Oral and Implant Surgeons in Johnson City, TN provide patients an opportunity to lessen dental anxiety with sedation dentistry. With a variety of sedation options, the experienced staff at AOIS can administer custom anesthesia options for any treatment, from wisdom teeth extractions, to jaw surgery and dental implant placement.

Most patients that come to an oral surgery office are anxious about their procedure. For patients with any level of dental anxiety, the AOIS oral surgeons offer sedation dentistry, alongside minimally invasive techniques, to help patients relax and enhance their comfort levels. Receiving sedation dentistry in an oral surgeon’s office gives patients a greater range of sedation options to choose from, putting the patient in a much more comfortable state than a simple local anesthetic provides.

Oral surgeons complete extensive training in their residency programs where they administer general anesthesia and become certified to offer IV sedation. Dr. Eilers explains, “Our oral surgery staff has undergone extensive training in outpatient ambulatory sedation, so that the patient is treated in the safest, most comfortable environment possible.” With this advanced training and their state-of-the-art facility, this team is uniquely qualified to administer IV sedation and general anesthesia in office.

Depending on the severity of a patient’s dental anxiety, and the level of treatment that the patient will undergo, the AOIS doctors offer oral sedation, nitrous oxide, IV sedation, and general anesthesia. Not only do patients benefit from receiving sedation from trained oral surgeons who frequently administer these options, but at AOIS, patients have access to general anesthesia, which is typically only available in a hospital setting. With these advanced sedation options, patients generally retain no memory of their procedure.

In addition to their Johnson City, TN office, the Associated Oral and Implant Surgeons team also offers sedation dentistry at their Kingsport and Bristol, TN locations. Individuals with dental anxiety in Kingsport, Bristol, or Johnson City, TN, who are looking for the relaxed and comfortable environment that sedation dentistry creates, can connect with the oral surgeons of Associated Oral and Implant Surgeons for a consultation. To schedule a consultation, visit http://www.aomstri.com.

Local Couple Brings Pet Wants to the Lake Wylie Area of South Carolina


Kelly Byrd and Jason Hahn

Pet Wants is unique not only because of the quality of the food and the convenience of the delivery, but because of the freshness of our products. Our food is made in small batches and delivered right to us, so it’s not sitting on a shelf losing nutrients. – Kelly Byrd

Kelly Byrd and Jason Hahn tried everything to help their dog, Murphy, with his scratching, itchy paws and digestive issues. They talked to the veterinarian, they tried medications, they tried expensive foods from the pet store, but nothing worked. As they were looking for other options, they came across Pet Wants.

“We thought we’d give it a try and we saw a huge difference in Murphy – his paws and his coat are better, he has more energy, he’s feeling better. We feel like he’s a testament to the Pet Wants products and, when we found out Pet Wants is a franchise, we had an epiphany. We had been thinking about opening our own business for years but nothing felt right until Pet Wants,” Byrd said.

Now Byrd and Hahn are pleased to announce that they are bringing Pet Wants to their own community with their new business – Pet Wants Lake Wylie.

Pet Wants’ specially-crafted, private label pet food formulas are made in small batches with fresh, natural ingredients enhanced with vitamins and minerals for a complete and balanced diet in every bowl. Pet Wants Lake Wylie carries multiple blends of dog and cat food formulas as well as all-natural treats, healing salve, calming balm, anti-itch spray, paw wax and more. Pet Wants Lake Wylie is a mobile business that offers free, personal delivery to Lake Wylie, Clover, York and Rock Hill in South Carolina; the Steele Creek region of North Carolina; and the surrounding areas.

“Murphy is doing so well with the Pet Wants food and he absolutely loves it – the difference in him is night and day. We love animals and we are thrilled to be able to bring products like this to our own community through Pet Wants Lake Wylie,” Hahn said.

Byrd and Hahn both built their careers in corporate America and, between them, they have more than 40 years of experience in new business development and operations management. They have two teenage daughters – Haylee and Mikayla – as well as 7-year-old hound mix Murphy and a 3-year-old cat named Kitty.

“Pet Wants is unique not only because of the quality of the food and the convenience of the delivery, but because of the freshness of our products. Our food is made in small batches and delivered right to us, so it’s not sitting on a shelf losing nutrients. It’s also different because, as the owner of Pet Wants Lake Wylie, we can tell you exactly what’s in our products and why. That’s unusual in the pet food industry,” Byrd said.

Pet Wants has a 100-percent, money-back guarantee on the freshness and quality of the food and the company only sources the best salmon, chicken, lamb, brown rice and other ingredients available. There’s no sugar added, no fillers and no animal by-products and Pet Wants never uses corn, wheat, soy or dyes, which makes the food great for animals with allergies.

New SAFERTOS Demo with Lauterbach TRACE32 from WITTENSTEIN high integrity systems


News Image

SAFERTOS combined with a debugger such as Lauterbach offers a complete solution for complex, multicore, safety systems

WITTENSTEIN high integrity systems (WHIS) and Lauterbach offer a fully functional, time-limited demo of SAFERTOS® and TRACE32® for free download. The demo showcases the new SAFERTOS awareness from TRACE32, allowing the developer to display all SAFERTOS System Resources. The new SAFERTOS demo is for the Arm® Cortex®-M0+ on the NXP S32K118, using IAR, and has the Lauterbach simulator packaged directly into the demo.

The TRACE32 awareness for SAFERTOS includes Task Information, Dynamic Thread Performance Measurement, and SAFERTOS Specific Display of Trace Listing, as well as Statistic Evaluation and Graphic Display of Task and Function Run Times, PRACTICE Functions for OS Data, and SAFERTOS related Pull-Down Menu. The SAFERTOS awareness provides easy access to task lists and other kernel information, and generates performance analysis data, enabling customers to carry out effective debugging with the TRACE32 systems on targets running SAFERTOS.

SAFERTOS is a pre-emptive, safety critical Real Time Operating System (RTOS) available pre-certified to IEC 61508 SIL3 and ISO 26262 ASIL D. SAFERTOS is used internationally across a range of safety critical applications and is renowned for its high quality, delivering unprecedented levels of determinism and robustness to embedded systems whilst using minimal resources.

Lauterbach, the leading manufacturer of microprocessor development tools, announced support for SAFERTOS earlier this year. The new software package from Lauterbach contains a ready-to-run configuration for the SAFERTOS Real Time Kernel. The new SAFERTOS awareness provides easy access to task lists and other kernel information generates performance analysis data and enables customers to carry out effective debugging with the TRACE32 systems on targets running SAFERTOS. TRACE32, the class leading debug tool from Lauterbach supports SAFERTOS on Arm Cortex-M Architecture.

All features of the TRACE32 awareness for SAFERTOS do not require any additional target configuration or any hooks or patches within the OS itself. The philosophy of TRACE32 is for the application to behave exactly the same in the debug environment as on the final product; only this way can 100% certainty of testing be achieved.

“By making use of the Lauterbach support for SAFERTOS, WHIS increases the efficiency of developers working on large and complex applications,” said Andrew Longhurst, Managing Director for WHIS. “SAFERTOS combined with a debugger such as Lauterbach offers a complete solution for complex, multicore, safety systems – a compelling design decision for many system architects.”

“The continued collaboration of Lauterbach and WHIS ensures effective development of safety critical systems.” said Rudi Dienstbeck, RTOS specialist at Lauterbach. “SAFERTOS and TRACE32 together form a best fit for creating complex, safe and secure applications.”

Free, fully operational SAFERTOS demos are available from http://www.highintegritysystems.com/safertos.

Save the Storks Celebrates Giving Tuesday by Empowering Moms to Choose Life


Save the Storks Giving Tuesday 2019 Benjamin Stork Bus

Save the Storks Announces Giving Tuesday 2019 Goal

Giving Tuesday 2019 at Save the Storks offers a unique way to inspire those who want to help empower moms and save babies

This Giving Tuesday, Dec. 3, pro-life organization Save the Storks will inspire generosity with a fundraiser to empower moms who choose life across the United States. The goal is to raise $75,000 between Nov. 26 and Dec. 5, 2019.

Save the Storks exists to help moms facing an unplanned pregnancy by supporting pregnancy resource centers (PRCs), partnering with churches and getting mobile ultrasound units on the road.

Donating to Save the Storks this Giving Tuesday will help more women live an empowered life. The pro-life non-profit ministry works with pregnancy resource centers to help meet the greatest needs for moms, including housing, transportation, and educational opportunities.

“Giving Tuesday 2019 at Save the Storks offers a unique way to inspire those who want to help empower moms and save babies,” said Diane Ferraro at Save the Storks. “We are asking for one-time donations of $10 or more. Funds will be used where they are most needed to help reimagine the meaning of pro-life with awareness campaigns, and in partnership with PRCs who directly serve women seeking health services, parenting plans including adoption and general support.”

Last year, donations from Giving Tuesday went directly towards helping Fayette Pregnancy Resource Center in Fayetteville, GA. They were able to use the funds to purchase a mobile medical unit, also known as a Stork Bus. This Stork Bus, named in memory of baby Benjamin, is now on the road and saving lives in Georgia. Click here to watch the mini-documentary about Benjamin.

Holiday Candy Consumption Highlights Need for Exceptional Dental Habits, says Dr. Farzad Feiz


Dr. Feiz is here to help keep candy-instigated health problems to a minimum.

Candy consumption, or any sugary food or beverage for that matter, is likely okay in moderation so long as candy lovers are making sure they are maintaining excellent dental hygiene habits and are regularly visiting their dentist.

An October 15 article on Yahoo Lifestyle reports on the most and least dental-unfriendly candy during the holiday period. While no candy is especially good for your teeth, some are far worse than others, says the article. For example, sour gummies, hard candy, taffy, and caramels are among the worst offenders because of their propensity to get stuck in one’s teeth, increasing exposure to harmful sugars and acids. On the other hand, chocolate, particularly the less-sweet dark chocolate variety, is better because it tends to dissolve quickly and does not harm tooth enamel as much, the article says. Dr. Farzad Feiz of California Dental Care and Calabasas Dental Group says that candy consumption, or any sugary food or beverage for that matter, is likely okay in moderation so long as candy lovers are making sure they are maintaining excellent dental hygiene habits and are regularly visiting their dentist.

The clinic says that sugars that are found in candy provide extra food for unhealthy bacteria already found in a patient’s mouth. By essentially adding more fuel to the fire, these bad bacteria create waste acids that destroy enamel and make teeth susceptible to decay. The clinic notes that there a few practices that can minimize the damage of this process though. For example, drinking plenty of water while eating candy can rinse away some of the extra bits of candy that may be stuck inside teeth. More importantly, the clinic adds, waiting about 15 to 30 minutes to brush teeth after candy, or any kind of food, consumption can give a patient’s tooth enamel a chance to re-mineralize after acid exposure. If brushing occurs right after a patient eats, there is a higher chance that the bristles on the brush could actually damage the teeth. Flossing will also help get tiny bits of candy that may be stuck in between teeth while rinsing with a mouth wash can mop up any remaining particles, the clinic adds.

Dr. Feiz also notes that in addition to exercising superb dental hygiene habits, it is important to see a dentist for checkups and whenever any sign of an ailment might arise.

Unfortunately, he notes, even those with the best hygiene habits may sometimes be susceptible to various dental ailments. Visiting a dentist regularly can help prevent these potential issues from becoming serious while also ensuring proper dental health with outstanding oral health services, the clinic adds. The doctor adds that those worried about costs need to know that routine checkups and preventative measures are always far less financially burdensome than treatments for advanced dental concerns.

Amber Sutfin Launches Pet Wants South Hills in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania


Amber Sutfin

I saw legitimate results with my own dogs, which is what encouraged me to bring Pet Wants to this community. I’m looking forward to getting more involved in the community and helping other pet families understand what’s in pet food and what makes Pet Wants different. – Amber Sutfin

Amber Sutfin is pleased to announce the launch of her new business, Pet Wants South Hills.

Pet Wants’ specially-crafted, private-label pet food formulas are made in small batches with fresh, natural ingredients enhanced with vitamins and minerals for a complete and balanced diet in every bowl. Pet Wants South Hills has multiple blends of dog and cat food formulas as well as healing salve, calming balm, anti-itch spray, paw wax and more.

Pet Wants South Hills is a mobile business that offers free, personal delivery to South Hills and Washington County, including Greentree, Carnegie, Dormont, Brookline, Mt Lebanon, Castle Shannon, Bethel Park, Upper St Clair, South Park, Whitehall, Peters Township, McMurray, Cannonsburg, North Strabane and Cecil.

The Sutfin family includes two flat coated retrievers, a 6-year-old named Sako and a 2-year old named Berk, a.k.a. Legend of the Bonenapper. Berk has earned his AKC Championship and his Canadian Championship and has recently trained to bird hunt. Before they switched to Pet Wants, Sutfin could see that Sako wasn’t doing as well as she thought she should be.

“She was only 5, and had constant ear infections, skin problems and a lack of energy and she was just grumpy. Now that she’s eating Pet Wants, her energy level is has completely turned around and her coat looks awesome and her ear issues are resolved. I saw legitimate results with my own dogs, which is what encouraged me to bring Pet Wants to this community,” Sutfin said. “I’m looking forward to getting more involved in the community and helping other pet families understand what’s in pet food and what makes Pet Wants different.”

Sutfin, who received her United States citizenship this year, is originally from Canada and has lived in the United States since 2006. She has a degree in Interior Design and is a Certified Life Coach as well as a Certified Reiki Master and Animal Reiki Master Practitioner. She and her husband, Mike Sutfin, have two children – their 9-year-old son named Jacob and their 7-year-old daughter named Dagen. Sutfin decided to launch Pet Wants South Hills after seeing the impact nutrition had on her dog Abby.

“Before Abby passed away two years ago, I watched her health and quality of life decline. Worried about her, I dove into researching nutritional needs of dogs and ended up cooking her food with fresh, high-quality ingredients. I saw an immediate improvement in her coat, weight, energy level and quality of life. I know having the right nutrition made a huge difference in her last months,” Sutfin said. “Although we were able to cook for Abby, I know that’s a challenge for many families. That’s where Pet Wants comes in. With Pet Wants, you get fresh food that’s made with fresh, high-quality ingredients without adding something else to your own plate.”

Pet Wants has a 100-percent, money-back guarantee on the freshness and quality of the food and the company only sources the best salmon, chicken, lamb, brown rice and other ingredients available. There’s no sugar added, no fillers and no animal by-products and Pet Wants never uses corn, wheat, soy or dyes, which makes the food great for animals with allergies.

Drs. Gregory Toback and Marianne Urbanski Combat Gum Disease in Waterford, CT with Minimally Invasive Laser Dentistry


Drs. Marianne Urbanski and Gregory Toback, Periodontists in Waterford, CT

Drs. Marianne Urbanski and Gregory Toback Offer LANAP® Gum Surgery Alternative to Waterford, CT

LANAP is the only laser solution that has received FDA clearance to regenerate bone and soft tissue lost to gum disease.

Established periodontists, Drs. Gregory Toback and Marianne Urbanski of Shoreline Periodontics, provide minimally invasive laser gum disease treatment for patients in Waterford, CT. Specifically, this periodontal team offers LANAP® laser gum surgery at their two convenient office locations. This revolutionary method uses modern dental lasers and an FDA-cleared protocol to remove the harmful, disease-causing bacteria that causes gum disease, leaving healthy tissue unharmed and even promoting advanced healing.

As a laser dentistry alternative to more traditional and invasive osseous surgery, LANAP offers several key advantages. First, because LANAP requires no scalpels or sutures, patients enjoy faster healing times and minimal discomfort during and after treatment. For those who experience dental fear or anxiety, Drs. Toback and Urbanski also offer a range of sedation dentistry services to ensure every patient is comfortable during their treatment.

Another benefit of LANAP laser dentistry is the precision afforded to the periodontists administering it. The dental laser used to offer LANAP is the PerioLase® MVP-7™. This modern dental tool can specifically pinpoint areas of unhealthy gum tissues and thus remove destroyed tissue without affecting the healthy surrounding tissue. In fact, LANAP is the only laser solution that has received FDA clearance to regenerate bone and soft tissue lost to gum disease. This groundbreaking discovery ensures gum disease sufferers restore their smile faster and prevent harmful symptoms sooner than alternative surgeries can provide.

Without regular interventions from a periodontist, a gum disease specialist, patients with gum disease can expect to experience progressive degradation of their oral health. Over time, gum disease moves from early gingivitis stages to advanced periodontitis. The only way to avoid losing teeth and bone is by partnering with a trained periodontist. With decades of leading the industry in modern periodontal techniques like LANAP, Drs. Toback and Urbanski are also respected as speakers on new discoveries in the field of periodontics.

Individuals in the Waterford, CT area who present the initial or late-stage warning signs of gum disease such as bleeding or swollen gums, bad breath and loose teeth are invited to contact Drs. Toback and Urbanski to discuss gum disease treatments include LANAP. To contact their New London, CT office, call 860-443-2428. Their Westerly, RI office can be reached at 401-596-0000. Appointments can also be scheduled online at http://www.shorelineperio.com.

About the Periodontists

Leading board-certified periodontist, Dr. Gregory A. Toback, received his B.A. from St. John’s University and his Doctorate of Dental Medicine from the University of Connecticut. He also received advanced training in periodontics and dental implants at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio. Dr. Marianne Urbanski has been voted one of Connecticut’s top dentists for more than seven years by Connecticut Magazine.
