  General dentistry: This refers to routine dental care and preventive dentistry. General dentistry can also include fillings, crowns, bridges, root canals, and other procedures to prevent tooth decay and other damage.
• Cosmetic dentistry: Cosmetic dentistry is intended to improve the appearance of teeth, including teeth whitening treatments as well as veneers and bonding.
• Family dentistry: Family dentistry is a branch of dentistry that focuses on the needs of children and adolescents. It can include dental checkups, fillings, and other treatments to ensure good oral health.
• Digital dentistry: Digital dentistry refers to the use of digital technologies to improve oral health. It can include 3D imaging, intraoral scanners, and computer-assisted treatment planning.
• Laser dentistry: This is a new method of treating oral problems. It uses targeted laser beams to remove plaque and tartar on your teeth, as well as other conditions such as gum disease.
• Sleep apnea treatment: Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder that causes people to stop breathing while they are sleeping. It can be very dangerous, so it’s important to get treated as soon as possible.
• Oral cancer screening: This is an essential service that can help detect oral cancer at an early stage of development. If detected early enough, treatment will be easier and more effective.
• TMJ treatment: TMJ treatment can help patients who suffer from jaw pain or headaches caused by the misalignment of teeth or jaw muscles.
• Dental implants: Dental implants are an excellent option for patients who want to replace missing teeth. Implants are also a good choice if a patient’s existing teeth are damaged beyond repair or if they don’t provide enough support for the jawbone.

“I got the idea for TruRest from a miserable flight I took from Singapore to NYC. We were seated on the plane for 32 hours due to a problem with the hydraulics.”

WALTHAM, Mass. (PRWEB)
May 15, 2023

Comfort and quality rest are often elusive for airplane passengers. If sleep is achieved, it’s typically light and ineffective which is why flyers often arrive at their destinations exhausted and in pain. Travelers can address this pain point and finally achieve true rest, with TruRest.

Launching today, TruRest is a patented, ergonomically designed, compact, portable and highly adjustable rest aid that dramatically improves travel comfort. TruRest fully supports the user’s body (both chest/torso and head) in the forward leaning position, eliminating muscle tension and discomfort caused by sitting upright, and facilitating deep, quality rest and relaxation–even REM sleep. Hypnap consulted medical professionals, examined medical research and conducted extensive testing while developing TruRest. They discovered that resting in the forward leaning position facilitates deeper, easier breathing which promotes the relaxation response. Using TruRest can also potentially relieve neck and back pain.

More people are flying than ever before. According to The U.S. Travel Association, travel spending is at its highest since the COVID-19 pandemic. Air travel is also becoming increasingly uncomfortable due to reduced legroom, smaller seats and thinner cushions. Additionally, economy and most business class airplane seats only recline four or five inches, providing little relief. As a result, people are investing in more travel accessories to make their experience more enjoyable. TruRest’s innovative design can be secured to a tray table and features a cushioned face plate and chest support that are highly adjustable to accommodate people of different heights, shapes and sizes.

“I got the idea for TruRest from a miserable flight I took from Singapore to NYC. We were seated on the plane for 32 hours due to a problem with the hydraulics. I have a design background so I sketched ideas and built prototypes.” said CEO Chloe Hill.

Hypnap COO, Darryl Yang, is a former computer programmer and frequent business traveler. “I wish I would have had something like this on my flights. That’s why I joined forces with Chloe to launch TruRest,” said Yang.

TruRest is TSA-approved and folds up into the footprint of an iPad, so it can easily fit into a carry-on, such as a purse or backpack. To preorder, visit pr.go2.fund/trurest.

About Hypnap

Hypnap is a company that offers innovative solutions to help improve the lives and health of their customers. Their signature product,TruRest, is designed to help individuals achieve deep rest even when sitting upright in cramped spaces such as airplanes. Empathetic design is the core of their approach. Identifying problems, studying the human body and the environment of their customers, conducting extensive testing and research, and consulting with experts in their fields ensures that they create products to make their users feel great. Co-Founders Chloe Hill and Darryl Yang, both avid travelers, recognized the need for a more effective solution to address the discomfort experienced on long flights. Chloe’s design background and Darryl’s experience as a former computer programmer and consultant allowed them to collaborate on the TruRest’s development, which involved sketching ideas, assembling and testing prototypes, and consulting with health professionals.

“Providers and patients need to raise their awareness levels so those at risk will recognize signs of uterine cancer and are screened appropriately and in a timely manner,” says Dr. Mariko Rajamand

RENO, Nev. (PRWEB)
May 15, 2023

According to the USA Today article, a new study showed that Hispanic women had the highest uterine cancer rate among young reproductive-aged women between ages 35 and 39. Cases have been rising a steady 4% each year since 2001, a rate that is 50% higher than that of white women, according to the study of more than 840,000 uterine cancer patients published in the journal Gynecologic Oncology. Experts are trying to figure out what is causing the disparity and raise recognition among medical professionals and patients. Physicians need to be on high alert for signs and symptoms of uterine abnormalities in this population to provide timely intervention. Obesity increases the risk of uterine cancer, as does diabetes, and both of those disorders are found disproportionately in Hispanic people. However obesity may be an oversimplified explanation for the problem, and more studies need to explore additional reasons for the disparity. The article stressed the importance of addressing social determinants of health within communities of color and helping those women with lifestyle improvements and diet. This is as well as providing access to evaluations to catch precancerous lesions early.

“This study is very alarming. Providers need to recognize these disparities as another sign of healthcare inequity and prevent the trend from continuing. Providers and patients need to raise their awareness levels so those at risk will recognize signs of uterine cancer and are screened appropriately and in a timely manner,” says Dr. Mariko Rajamand

From contraception and preventive gynecological care to mental health therapy and cosmetic services, FEM Women’s Wellness is the premier source for personalized women’s healthcare in the greater Reno area. FEM Women’s Wellness recognizes the health equity disparities that were described in the study, and the team actively works to improve their impact on women’s health. The clinic has Spanish-speaking employees to support and navigate the challenges that the Hispanic community has in accessing care. With the goal of empowering and supporting women through their life stages, FEM Women’s Wellness will help women of all races navigate through what is normal, abnormal and what needs intervention.

Father Timothy Ploch, interim director of Salesian Missions, said, “Salesians work with families to provide education, meet basic needs and offer wrap-around support services to ensure that the family has what they need to meet the physical and emotional needs of youth.”

NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y. (PRWEB)
May 15, 2023

Salesian Missions, the U.S. development arm of the Salesians of Don Bosco, joins humanitarian and other international organizations in honoring the International Day of Families celebrated each year on May 15.

The day is organized by the International Federation for Family Development in partnership with SOS Children’s Villages International and in collaboration with UNICEF and the Division for Social Policy and Development of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs.

Salesian missionaries around the globe provide for youth and their families who are facing challenges related to poverty, lack of education, hunger, and homelessness.

Father Timothy Ploch, interim director of Salesian Missions, said, “We understand youth can better focus on their education when they are in homes where there is stability and they have their basic needs met. Children facing abuse, lack of food or no parental support struggle in their studies. This is why Salesians work with families to provide education, meet basic needs and offer wrap-around support services to ensure that the family has what they need to meet the physical and emotional needs of youth.”

In honor of the International Day of Families, Salesian Missions is proud to share Salesian programs that provide education and services to support poor youth and their families.

ECUADOR

Don Bosco alumni associations in Ecuador collaborated to bring joy to vulnerable people in cities across the country during the Christmas holiday. In Cuenca, 500 families were helped with baskets containing food, clothes and basic medicines, while more than 1,500 children were given toys and candies. Don Bosco alumni in Quito and Riobamba delivered baskets to more than 300 low-income families.

Many alumni helped the Salesians by offering and collecting donations. The Don Bosco alumni associations included Healing Wounds, Salesians of San Francisco, Centro San José de Manta, the Don Bosco Alumni Center and the Carlos Crespi educational community. On Saturdays during the year, a solidarity breakfast is also held in these locations.

A Salesian missionary noted, “These Christmas events provided a great opportunity for Don Bosco alumni to pay it forward and give back to their communities. So many families are faced with poverty, even more so now given the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the global economic crisis. This was a chance for them to receive much-needed food and other necessary items and for children to receive gifts to brighten their Christmas.”

EQUATORIAL GUINEA

Salesian missionaries offer a range of social services and educational programs in one of the poorest neighborhoods in Malabo, the capital of Equatorial Guinea. Salesians operate a parish, a youth center, primary and secondary schools, and a vocational center. The Salesian vocational center is currently offering the program “Vocational Training for Young Mothers in Malabo.”

The program caters to young women who had to drop out of school early because of pregnancies, those who were forced out of the home by their parents or those with children who are not recognized by their fathers. Currently, the Salesian program has 30 young women who are pregnant or have newborn babies.

The program is supported by Don Bosco in the World Foundation, which promotes and supports programs in Salesian organizations around the globe.

This program is particularly important because laws in Malabo prevent pregnant young women and young mothers from attending school. Without the opportunity offered by the Salesians to learn a trade, these young women would not be able to gain an education. They would remain in a system that stigmatizes and punishes them while restricting them from gaining the skills for stable employment.

INDIA

Volunteers with Don Bosco Arts and Science College, located in Angadikadavu, Kerala, India, built a house for a mother with two children. The family was homeless but now has shelter and the safety of somewhere to live.

The project began when Lucy George, a Salesian cooperator, saw the young mother named Jessy with her two children on a bus, and she heard Jessy talk about not having a place to live. George mentioned this to the students at Don Bosco Arts and Science College, and the students, staff and management took up the challenge of constructing a house.

The house is 600 square feet with two bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room and a work area. The cost was provided for by donations from students, staff, management and well-wishers. It is the fourth house constructed by volunteers of the college.

RWANDA

Salesian missionaries launched projects for young single mothers and at-risk youth in Rango, within the city of Butare, Rwanda. The projects have the support of Mission Don Bosco in Turin, Italy. To date, 40 young mothers have taken training to learn tailoring skills. They have also received a sewing machine and some essential materials to start a simple tailoring or sewing business that will provide an income for their families.

Father Remy Nsengiyumva, the parish priest in Rango, noted, “Many girls drop out of school due to poverty and unwanted pregnancy. To help them and their children, Salesians initiated the two-year tailoring training program at the Vocational Training Center. The new program offers entrepreneurial training and provides a basic took kit so participants can start an income-generating business. The center also offers courses in construction, carpentry and welding.”

Through the “Tomorrow Will Be Better” program, Salesians have also been able to support 120 at-risk children and youth who had run away to live on the street. Social workers were able to understand why they ran away from home and help them reestablish a relationship with their families. Salesians distributed clothes, hygiene kits and food. In addition, peer groups were organized to support youth in building relationships. Through this effort, 89 youth enrolled in elementary school, 20 in secondary school and 11 in vocational training.

The foundation of any positive experience is an easy and comfortable environment. In dentistry, it’s about comfort and trust between dental care providers and their patients

CLEARWATER, Fla. (PRWEB)
May 15, 2023

While conventional wisdom advises visiting the dentist twice a year, the overall scientific evidence to support that recommendation is surprisingly small.(1) It turns out it was the power of advertising. Post WWII, Pepsodent created a promotional campaign with the catchphrase, “Use Pepsodent every day — see your dentist twice a year.”(2) And the rest, as they say, is history. Either way, every six months or so is sound guidance, so why is it that more than 100 million people in the United States don’t see their dentist until there’s a problem?(3) Among the reasons: Cost, anxiety, bad/painful experiences, fear, embarrassment, and a lack of time.(4) Making the process more practical and making the patient feel more comfortable is a critical first step. Adrian LaTrace, CEO of Boyd Industries, emphasizes, “The foundation of any positive experience is an easy and comfortable environment. In dentistry, it’s about comfort and trust between dental care providers and their patients.”

First impressions are the most memorable. For those old enough to remember, dental offices were often sterile, cold, and uninviting back in the day. Uninspired décor, old, ragged magazines, stiff, uncomfortable dental chairs, harsh, blinding lighting, and terrifying dental equipment were more than enough reasons to dread a visit to the dentist. While most of those, including orange shag carpeting, are no longer the norm, modern times demand modern amenities.

The cuspidor, commonly known as the “rinse and spit” sink, is something millennials and beyond, including younger dental hygienists, wouldn’t even recognize. Convenience and comfort are what the 21st century is all about. And the dental industry needs to keep up. If people are staying away from the dentist because they imagine the worst, they are more likely to suffer from untreated cavities, gum disease, and tooth loss. Bad oral hygiene can have more devastating consequences, such as chronic diseases like arthritis, heart disease, or oral cancer.(5)

It may seem like a giant leap from newer magazines and a nicer chair to sit in to the prevention of the serious consequences of a lack of proper dental care, but creating an environment that encourages people to maintain their oral health is no longer a luxury. A contemporary and inviting atmosphere eases the anxiety and fears many people have about going to the dentist in the first place, and it helps dental practices to thrive.

Boyd Industries is a pioneer in the design and manufacture of highly-reliable, innovative dental and medical operatory equipment. They are recognized among dental specialty practices and ENT specialists for their thoughtful craftsmanship, ergonomic design, and proven durability and reliability. Boyd’s products offer convenience and comfort with a full line of dental exam, treatment, and surgery chairs, delivery systems, exam lighting, custom clinical cabinetry, operator seating, and other office accessories.

LaTrace notes, “It’s a two-way street; convenience and comfort create happier and more satisfied patients and staff. Providing soothing ambiance, faster and more efficient scheduling, shorter time spent in the waiting room, ergonomically designed dental equipment, and friendly, welcoming staff all add up to a rewarding dental encounter for the dentist and patient.”
