Shan, who was profoundly deaf from birth and used sign language, visited her doctor's office. When making an appointment with the receptionist, the receptionist wrongly assumed Shan could hear because she was not wearing hearing aids. Shan clarified she was deaf and used sign language. However, the receptionist's lack of understanding of deafness led to a miscommunication.

Your oral health is vital to your overall health. While everyone wants to take good care of their mouths, we often hear questions from Peoples about brushing, flossing, gum disease, and oral health in general. Here, are some of the most common misconceptions about going to the dentist and about oral health.
importance of history and examination in periodontics
This document discusses the importance of history taking and examination in periodontics. It states that history taking and examination are the first and foremost steps in successful diagnosis and treatment planning. A thorough history establishes rapport with the patient and allows them to communicate their symptoms. The history should include details about the patient's chief complaint, medical history, medications, dental history, and oral hygiene habits. A comprehensive clinical examination involves extraoral and intraoral inspection including assessment of oral hygiene, hard and soft tissues, periodontal health, and radiographs. Together, a well-documented patient history and clinical examination allow for an accurate diagnosis, appropriate treatment planning, and proper case management.
Oral Health For Older Adults
This document discusses ways to prevent dental diseases through proper oral hygiene including toothbrushing, flossing, cleaning removable prostheses, and other techniques. It notes that bacteria can enter the bone through the gums, cause infection, and affect the entire body. Prevention through regular toothbrushing, flossing, and cleaning dentures and removable appliances is key to maintaining oral and overall health.
Dental hygiene and oral care
This document provides information on oral health and dentistry. It discusses topics like plaque formation, the benefits of flossing, smoking and gum disease, tooth anatomy, eruption sequences, the connection between oral and full body health, types of tooth decay, gum diseases like gingivitis and periodontitis, childhood dental issues, diseases in adults, cancer prevention and symptoms, proper oral hygiene techniques, dental hygiene, dental visits and mouth care.
Case Presentation
A 20-year-old male presented with small ulcers in his lower lip for 15 days with pain and burning sensation. He reported a history of similar recurring ulcers in his mouth every month since childhood. Examination revealed pale oral mucosa with small ulcers on the lower lip, tongue, floor of mouth, buccal mucosa, and hard palate. A probable diagnosis of recurrent minor aphthous ulcers was made. Treatment with Enziclor gel, Nitiles drops, and Vitamin C tablets was provided for one week with follow up scheduled to check the response.
Oral Health
The health of the mouth and surrounding
craniofacial (skull and face) structures is central to a person’s overall
health and well-being. Oral
and craniofacial diseases and conditions include:
-- Dental caries (tooth decay)
-- Periodontal (gum) diseases
-- Cleft lip and palate
-- Oral and facial pain
-- Oral and pharyngeal (mouth and throat)
cancers
The significant improvement in the oral health of Americans over the past 50 years is a public health success story. Most of the gains are a result of effective prevention and treatment efforts. One major success is community water fluoridation, which now benefits about 7 out of 10 Americans who get water through public water systems.
However, some Americans do not have access to preventive programs. People who have the least access to preventive services and dental treatment have greater rates of oral diseases. A person’s ability to access oral health care is associated with factors such as education level, income, race, and ethnicity.
Objectives in this topic area address a number of areas for public health improvement, including the need to:
-- Increase awareness of the importance of oral health to overall health and well-being.
-- Increase acceptance and adoption of effective preventive interventions.
-- Reduce disparities in access to effective preventive and dental treatment services.

Dental care tips for the elderly
It is important to make sure that all of us take good care of the health of our teeth. Teeth are important for a lot of things ranging from eating comfortably to communication and even emoting. Choose a dentist who can perform the procedures you need by looking up Dentzz reviews or reviewing online directories.
Endodontic referrals
1) The document provides guidance on when general dentists should refer endodontic cases to specialists, noting that referrals should be based on factors like complexity, time spent, and fees. Simple cases that can be completed in under 70 minutes with the same outcome as a specialist are suitable for general dentists.
2) More complex cases like retreatment and surgery are better referred to endodontists due to differences in quality and speed compared to general dentists.
3) For practices with an efficient general dentist good at endodontics, they can handle most root canals but consider staffing endodontist days for more advanced cases requiring a specialist.
National Dental hygiene month
The document discusses National Oral Hygiene Month which is observed in October. It emphasizes promoting good oral hygiene habits such as brushing twice daily, flossing, rinsing with antimicrobial mouthwash, and chewing sugar-free gum to maintain oral health and overall wellness. Suggestions are provided for campaigns and events during the month such as discounted cleanings, poster competitions, and giveaways to raise awareness on the importance of oral hygiene.
Dental Hygienists
Dental hygienists clean teeth and examine patients for oral diseases. They use tools like ultrasonic scalers and take x-rays to assess patients' dental health. Dental hygienists typically work 2-3 days a week in a dental office and earn $68,250 - $93,820 annually. They enjoy helping improve patients' oral health but may find dealing with bad teeth or difficult patients challenging. An associate's degree in dental hygiene is required, which generally takes 2-3 years to complete.
Oral Care and Hygiene Maintanence
The document discusses oral health and diseases. It covers topics like dental caries, periodontal disease, their causes and prevention methods. It describes conditions like gingivitis, periodontitis and their symptoms. Treatment options discussed include scaling, root planing, fillings, root canal treatment, tooth extractions, crowns and bridges.

This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.
