However, younger patients may not be able to do that.The ideal medium to transport such a tooth is the 'Hanks Balanced Salt Solution', an artificial medium containing the necessary chemicals and nutrients required by the cells. This medium is commercially available abroad and is marketed as "Save a Tooth" medium. However, it is not available easily at the site of the accident. It has been now proved that tender coconut water contains all the necessary nutrients, including minerals, vitamins and amino acids needed to sustain the life of the cells in the tooth till the time of treatment. Coconut water is easily available in our country, and, more importantly, it is a natural transport medium that is sterile and inexpensive. Once the tooth reaches the dentist, the dentist will replace it in its original position and splint it for a week or 10 days before starting restorative treatment.]]> Tue, 14 Oct 2008 12:00:09 GMT 081014F7H5L9 0 The Water Cooler: Chicken Soup and Wine http://www.topix.com/business/dental/2008/10/the-water-cooler-chicken-soup-and-wine?fromrss=1 Good, Bad Recent research confirms one of the few truths about health research: You never know.BAD: There is growing awareness that fluoride added to water supplies can "damage your bones, teeth, brain, disrupt your thyroid function, lower IQ and/or cause cancer."

"I can afford $300 to $400," said Ms. Burke. "I can't afford $3,000 to $4,000." So she travels to the University of Toronto to get her teeth cleaned by students at a reduced cost. Ms. Burke used to drive to Newcastle and take the GO system into Toronto. Now she does not drive and has to take a VIA train, which costs much more but is still cheaper than visiting a local dentist. Ms. Burke leaves at 9 a.m. for her 2 p.m. appointment and does not get back into town until 7 p.m. that night. "I'm able to get out and go there but there are so many seniors who are unable," She said.

There are no standards, criteria or testing required before a dentist can say that he or she is a specialist in cosmetic dentistry. A prospective patient can be fooled into believing that her dentist has, in fact, passed some stringent qualifications set up by the ADA. A patient may mistakenly rely on a dentist's representation as a specialist as an indicator of competency. You should know that many dentists calling themselves experts in cosmetic dentistry have only completed a short course. Often, these courses are completed in a single weekend. Some programs last just a few hours, and are frequently sponsored by the manufacturers of equipment and supplies used in cosmetic procedures. The instructors at such courses may have only performed the procedures a few times themselves.]]> Fri, 10 Oct 2008 12:36:54 GMT 0810109AVUHN 0 Learning more about oral cancer http://www.topix.com/business/dental/2008/10/learning-more-about-oral-cancer?fromrss=1 Who is at risk? * Tobacco users, any age and any type. * Those who consume alcoholic beverages, at least two ounces three times per week.]]> Fri, 10 Oct 2008 12:31:28 GMT 081010D3A7IF 0 Innovative Book Helps Americans Save Money at the Dentist http://www.topix.com/business/dental/2008/10/innovative-book-helps-americans-save-money-at-the-dentist?fromrss=1 In light of the shaky economy, people are stressed about spending - and under stress, many resort to poor eating habits with diets high in sugar.]]> Thu, 09 Oct 2008 10:00:36 GMT 08100950LFG0 0 Dental scam defendants hit with injunction http://www.topix.com/business/dental/2008/10/dental-scam-defendants-hit-with-injunction?fromrss=1 A Superior Court judge Wednesday slapped a restraining order against everyone involved in an alleged dental scam in this city and elsewhere in Massachusetts, freezing all assets and barring its practitioners from working on people's teeth.Attorney General Martha Coakley said she obtained a preliminary injunction against 15 individuals and corporations that operated high-volume dental clinics allegedly through a web of corporate fronts designed to exploit patients and obtain large sums of money from finance companies and insurers.]]> Thu, 09 Oct 2008 09:42:47 GMT 081009084J8G 0 Dental care lags among many Rochester children http://www.topix.com/business/dental/2008/10/dental-care-lags-among-many-rochester-children?fromrss=1 Despite decades of fluoridation, thousands of Rochester-area children enrolled in Medicaid have not seen a dentist in years, and there's no easy way to find the few pediatric dental offices that will accept them as patients."There is so much unmet need in these children," said Dr. Cyril Meyerowitz, director of the University of Rochester Medical Center's Eastman Dental Center.
