Early Detection of Periodontal Disease
According to the Journal of Dental Research, new
classifications of periodontal disease may sanction earlier detection and
personalized treatment before the disease develops into its severe stages. Read
more in this recently published article by Medical News Today.
Spurred by the need for a better way to classify gum disease, the researchers looked at the recent changes to the way cancer is diagnosed. Biologists are increasingly finding markers for cancer aggressiveness and responsiveness in the genetic signatures of tumors, and these are beginning to be used successfully to classify and select appropriate treatment for individual patients. To establish whether such a model might work for gum disease, the researchers carried out a genome-wide analysis of diseased gum (gingival) tissue from 120 male and female patients aged from 11 to 76, diagnosed with either chronic or aggressive periodontitis.

How to shop for dental insurance
While we realize that it can be frustrating dealing with dental insurance, it is a necessity and we at McCauley Dental will do everything in our power to assist you. Here is an article to help you with your dental insurance shopping.
(BPT) - Dental health is essential to overall health, affecting everything from our hearts to our mental well-being. Yet despite ample research that underscores the importance of taking care of our teeth, millions of Americans never go to the dentist. A lack of dental insurance is one of the top reasons Americans don’t keep up with their dental care.
“In 2008, the last year for which statistics are available, the National Center for Health Statistics estimated that 45 million Americans were without dental insurance,” says Stacia Almquist, senior vice president of dental for Assurant Employee Benefits. “Five years and a recession later, it’s reasonable to assume that number has stayed the same or grown. While at the same time dental insurance is as important – and affordable – as ever.”
Most people covered by dental insurance today receive the benefit as part of an employer-sponsored benefits package. And as awareness of the importance of dental health grows, more people are urging their employers to offer the benefit or are looking at buying individual dental coverage.
Not all dental plans are created equal, so it is important to understand what you are purchasing. “Changes in health care law and increased opportunity for people to purchase their own health coverage have made many consumers more aware of the need for informed decisions when choosing health insurance,” Almquist says. “Choosing a dental plan should also be an informed decision.”
If you’re in the market for stand-alone dental coverage (and if you don’t already have dental insurance, you should consider it) or get to pick a plan through your employer, keep these points in mind when comparison shopping:
* Understand the alphabet soup of dental plans – Two common insurance acronyms include PPO (preferred provider organization) and DHMO (dental health maintenance organization). Most PPO plans have a large dental network of providers and provide 100 percent benefit coverage for preventive care, cleanings, check-ups, protective sealants and X-rays, while major services such as crowns and bridges are usually covered at 50 percent. A DHMO usually has a smaller network of dentists than a PPO network, with the trade off being that members typically pay less out of pocket for services.
Dental discount plans are also available. Discount plans are not insurance, but are similar to wholesale store plans where you pay a discounted fee for products or services.

Dealing with the dentist: Kids' dental checkup tips for parents
Taking your child to the dentist for the first time can be a very trying experience. Even if your child has been to the dentist before it helps to have tips to make things go more smoothly. This article will help you with your next trip.
As back to school approaches, more and more parents are trying to get those last few dental and doctor appointments scheduled. After all, we hate taking children out of school for their annual checkups and many of us have school forms that need to be completed. However, if your children are anything like mine, it has been some time since they last saw the dentist and they may be experiencing some fear about their upcoming visit. Find out how we handled the fears of two young children before and during their dental checkup.
Take a tour. My favorite pediatric dentist (as well as others in the area) actually offer mother's groups, preschools, and daycares a tour of the office and exam room if you have a group. Get a few friends together and contact your local dentist to see if one is available for you. A trial run at the dentist office can go a long way towards relieving fear and anxiety for the real deal at the dentist office.
Let's pretend. Do you have a stuffed animal at home with a mouth full of teeth? Hit the dollar store for inexpensive toothbrush items and act out brushing, flossing and cleaning teeth. Or you can pick up a pretend dental kit at a toy store, or use the sample items from your dental tour to act out what happens at the dentist office.
