Dr. Aleem Manji offers LANAP Laser Treatment for Gum Disease

Gum disease treatment can be both effective and also be relatively painless thanks to the use of PerioLase MVP-7 dental laser.


LANGLEY, British Columbia (PRWEB)

Dr. Aleem Manji of Langley Perio & Implants is pleased to offer the LANAP® protocol gum disease treatment and LAPIP™ protocol for ailing dental implants in the Langley, BC area. Dr. Manji joins an elite class of general practitioners implementing the premier no cut, no new, no fear regenerative treatments that prioritize patient comfort and deliver effective results.

“As the proud owner of Langley Perio and Implants, I look forward to maintaining our practice’s strong tradition of caring for our patients, which now includes offering the minimally invasive LANAP and LAPIP protocols,” said Dr. Manji. “Gum disease treatment can be both effective and also be relatively painless thanks to the use of PerioLase MVP-7 dental laser.”

LANAP treatment uses light energy from the PerioLase MVP-7 dental laser to target the source of gum disease, without harming or removing any healthy gum tissue, decreases pocket depth, and allows the body to recover from the chronic infection without the need for scalpel or sutures. In cases of failing dental implants, the LAPIP treatment is used to treat peri-implantitis and save the implant. Patients report less pain and less post-op sensitivity and a quicker recovery when compared to traditional osseous surgery.

Gum disease is a chronic bacterial infection that rarely has any symptoms in its early stages. Despite the lack of symptoms or pain, the disease can still cause severe damage to your mouth, leading to loss of teeth, which has been tied to decreased lifespan. Additionally, several other serious illnesses like cancer, heart disease and diabetes have suggested links to gum disease.

“Many patients that are referred to our practice are surprised to learn that they have gum disease, often, good brushing and flossing habits are simply not enough,” added Dr. Manji. “In addition to preserving your gums and teeth, I am also concerned with treating your overall health, as untreated gum disease can potentially cause other illnesses to worsen.”

The LANAP protocol can be performed in as little as one treatment session and is safe to use on patients with health concerns such as diabetes, heart disease, and haemophilia, without discontinuing medication. It is the only scientifically proven laser gum disease treatment FDA cleared to regenerate the bone and tissues lost to gum disease.

The LANAP treatment is a patented procedure that requires doctors to complete intensive hands-on live patient training through the Institute for Advanced Laser Dentistry (IALD).

For information on the LANAP gum disease treatment, call Langley Perio & Implants at (604) 532-1080 for an appointment.

Car Insurance Quotes Will Help Drivers Avoid Several Types of Scams

Leave a comment


News Image

“Drivers can protect themselves from car insurance scams by choosing to deal only with legit insurance companies and brokerage websites.”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Compare-autoinsurance.org has launched a new blog post that presents several car insurance scams and how car insurance quotes can help to prevent them

For more info and free quotes, visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/can-online-quotes-help-you-prevent-car-insurance-scams/

.

Owning a car is a necessity for many people. Without a vehicle, the daily routine of many persons would be less convenient and take longer to complete. In order to legally drive a vehicle, drivers need to purchase car insurance. When searching for cheaper car insurance, some drivers risk being scammed. To avoid that, it’s important to work only with reliable insurance companies.

The most common insurance scams are:


  •     Fake insurance sites that trick drivers with the promise of very cheap coverage. Fake insurance ads will lead drivers to websites that look like genuine insurance sites but are in fact fake. Less knowledgeable drivers will apply for coverage on those sites and agree to pay a monthly fee that will directly go into the fake insurance agent pocket. This scam is discovered when a police officer stops the car and its driver finds out he is not insured, or when the driver tries to file for a claim.

  •     Fake cheap coverage calls. Some drivers are being called by other people that explains to them that they are eligible for very cheap coverage because they have a clean driving record. The caller will then try to obtain sensitive personal information about the driver. It is important to remember to never give personal information to strangers. Policyholders should always do some research and check if the persons whom they are talking on the phone are genuine insurance agents.

  •     Car crash compensation phone scam. Policyholders can expect to receive phone calls from persons that pretend they are from an insurance agency. The fake agent will want to talk with the driver that was involved in a car accident several years ago. In order to lure drivers into giving them personal info, the fake agents will tell them they are entitled to a large compensation. The scammer only needs a few info in order to commit identity theft.

  •     Unethical insurance agents. Some insurance agents will try to increase the premiums of drivers in order to pocket the excess. Other insurance agents will try to get higher commissions by adding unwanted options to the driver’s policy, or by trying to convince the driver to switch the current policy to a better more expensive coverage.


Before signing any insurance policy, drivers should do some research and see what insurance agency is authorized to sell insurance policies in their areas.

To avoid scams, drivers can try to work with trusted insurance companies or brokerage websites. Brokerage websites will provide quotes from multiple trusted insurance providers.

Discover The Importance Of Car Insurance Discounts And How To Get Them

Leave a comment


News Image

“Many drivers consider car insurance to be a necessary evil. To lower the costs of insurance, insurance carriers are offering discounts to drivers that fulfill certain requirements,” said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Compare-autoinsurance.org has launched a new blog post that explains how useful are car insurance discounts.

For more info and free car insurance quotes, please visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/why-are-car-insurance-discounts-so-useful/

In order to keep their car insurance coverage active, drivers need to pay their premium bills on time. Some drivers may struggle with their payments, but protecting their assets against any harm is recommended. To save money on car insurance, drivers can try to obtain as many discounts they can from their insurers.

The benefits of car insurance discounts are the following:


  • They help drivers save money. Not everyone can appreciate discounts at their true value. For some, even a small 3-5% discount Is valuable and can help them save hundreds of dollars each year. Car insurance companies are offering discounts that can be as small as 2-3% to quite generous discounts that can be as large as 30-40%. Policyholders should do research and identify all the discounts they are eligible at their insurers. The more discounts they apply, the more they can save on their insurance. Insurers are known for offering large discounts for good drivers, good students, installed safety and anti-theft devices, and bundled policies.

  • Discounts are under the driver’s control. They are one of the few factors that influence car insurance rates and are under the driver’s control. It depends on each policyholder to strive to obtain car insurance discounts. Also, obtaining discounts can help policyholders manage their expenses and at the same time, they can help them avoid the high-risk driver status.

  • Discounts cover a multitude of aspects. Insurance companies are offering multiple discounts for various reasons. Drivers can have access to various discounts after they fulfilled a series of prerequisites. For example, drivers can get a loyalty discount for staying with the same insurer for several years, or they can get a low-mileage discount if they drive fewer miles than a certain limit. For other discounts, drivers need to have a good credit score or they need to be claim-free for several years.

Fieldbit Adds Groundbreaking Augmented Reality Data Visualization Feature to Platform, Further Empowering Enterprise Field Service Technicians

Leave a comment



RA’ANANA, Israel (PRWEB)

Fieldbit, a leader in real-time augmented reality knowledge and collaboration solutions for field service workforces, today announced the addition of real-time data visualization (spatial computing) to its multi-source knowledge platform. Spatial computing empowers field service technicians and operators to more easily navigate in a crowded, multi-asset environment and to maintain, operate, and resolve issues more quickly and effectively.

Technicians and operators servicing oil rigs, refineries, and other process plants, can now easily locate specific devices or components via color-coded status alerts, operational instructions, data and IoT information on their mobile devices. Using smart glasses, tablets, or smartphones, technicians, operators, and even off-site managers can access real-time data and IoT information about machines – even when they are out of view and located behind or inside other equipment.

Spatial computing adds a new layer to the Fieldbit enterprise augmented reality platform and strengthens Fieldbit’s ability to provide industrial asset manufacturers and asset owners with additional tools to overcome the challenges facing field service technicians as they service expensive, complex equipment. “Fieldbit’s new AR Visualization feature makes it much easier for field technicians to see exactly where the problem is – with visual mapping that labels and pinpoints the exact issue,” says Evyatar Meiron, Fieldbit CEO. “Fieldbit’s role is to continue to create features and solutions that simplify the complexity that technicians face in the field each day so that they can easier resolve issues in real-time.”

Fieldbit’s innovative AR technologies enable the frontline workforce in remote locations to collaborate with subject matter experts and management in real-time via smart eyeglasses, mobile devices, and other knowledge sources. Interactive collaboration includes a shared “see-what-I see” field of view, step-by-step automated guidance through logical procedures for preventive maintenance, and APIs for augmenting industrial IoT real-time data or real-time data from legacy automation systems.

At a time when many companies are facing the loss of knowledge due to an aging workforce, Fieldbit’s software platform enables enterprises to create, capture, and share accumulated organizational knowledge once held only in the minds of a few experts. Fieldbit centralizes the knowledge and expertise, and makes it accessible to everyone, so that anyone on the ground can resolve issues. The democratization of knowledge is reflected in a unique, secure repository of practical knowledge that preserves AR interactive instructions, annotated videos, documents, drawings, and pictures. All Fieldbit solutions are GDPR compliant.

“Fieldbit continues to drive efficiencies at DCP through remote mentor AR capabilities. DCP has over 62,000 miles of pipeline spanning multiple states. Utilizing the remote mentor we are able to immediately troubleshoot problems by connecting with the right expert. This tool has led to a reduction in downtime,” said J.C. Chambers, Venture Associate at DCP Midstream.

About Fieldbit:

Founded in 2014, Fieldbit’s multi-source AR knowledge platform offers rich, real-time visualization, collaboration, and integration capabilities that enable enterprise field service to resolve critical problems effectively and efficiently, thereby increasing equipment uptime and production yield. Fieldbit’s high-value AR platform supports a broad range of industries, including energy sector and other utilities, printing, production, and medical device.
