The outrageous law allows police to stop and question people in Arizona who look like they may be illegal immigrants. Dawson’s campaign “United We Win” will launch in September through her organization Voto Latino, which encourages Latino youth and young adults to unify on issues that impact their lives. Dawson hopes that uniting these youth and registering them to vote will help put a stop to divisive racial profiling. Check out a behind-the-scenes preview of the upcoming PSA here: Post from: BlissTree Rosario Dawson Helps Fight Arizona Immigration Law: Daily Do-Gooder (Source: Breas...

The first is biological issues that cause cavities or gum disease. Our first thing is to diagnose these issues. We know we can’t eliminate bacteria, but we can control it. We can create an environment that can be cleaned by the patient – smooth fillings, no deep periodontal pockets. This helps patients take care of their teeth, so they’re more likely to keep natural teeth for life. Secondly, we must control stress or forces on teeth. There has to be harmony with jaw, muscles, and teeth to distribute forces evenly. As we move the jaws, we want no damaging lateral forces on back teeth. We must establish balance with jaw movement. Lastly, we keep teeth looking natural for “invisible” dentistry. If a patient is unhappy with the... dental blog for dentists about dentistry blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2967424 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 15:10:00 +0100 2967424 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2943954&cid=t_232542_125_f&fid=34820&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dentalblogs.com%2Farchives%2Fadministrator%2Fcranham-on-swine-flu-and-infection-control%2F This is a personal interest for me since my son was premature and is at high risk for flu and illness. We’re always on top of these things. The Swine Flu has been a little blown out of proportion by the media in my opinion, but whatever strain of flu exists, it’s good for professionals to think at a high level for infection control – from how we wash hands to always wearing gloves to covering surfaces to sterilizing handpieces and lasers. It’s a great time to review these procedures that prevent disease transmission. We don’t need to go crazy, but we need to prioritize infection control. I think staff vaccinations should be a personal decision for each individual, not mandated by the government. For me, I get the vaccine, but I haven’t yet gotten the H1N1 vaccine because it’s... dental blog for dentists about dentistry blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2943954 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 19:27:17 +0100 2943954 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2871872&cid=t_232542_125_f&fid=34820&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dentalblogs.com%2Farchives%2Fcranham%2Fcranham-on-the-new-sleep-apnea-course-by-dawson%2F Dawson has created an alliance with SomnoMed, a company focused on sleep medicine. Dentistry is in the infancy stage of learning about the medical risks of sleep apnea and potential dental manifestations. Functional tooth wear indicates a link. Sleep apnea patients, when they stop breathing and struggle to breathe again, often push their jaw forward and wake up with a start. Patients with lots of front tooth wear and only some back tooth wear could have sleep apnea, or so we presume. Dentally and medically, we should look at patients in this regard. We are going to offer a sleep medicine course as part of Dawson. Currently, we’re working with Dr. Rick Koker, an expert in this area, to create a hands-on component for the course. This week, at our Seminar One in St. Pete, I’ll present 45... dental blog for dentists about dentistry blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2871872 Wed, 07 Oct 2009 16:12:37 +0100 2871872 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2757948&cid=t_232542_125_f&fid=34820&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dentalblogs.com%2Farchives%2Fcranham%2Fcranham-on-important-planning-for-new-and-seasoned-dentists%2F The most important thing young dentists can think about, beyond gaining clinical expertise and good business practices, is a long term financial plan. I use Cain Watters & Associates, which helped my wife and me establish goals for retirement, as well as life insurance and disability insurance. Security for your family must be worked into your budget, as should disability planning. Having a fixed point in time when you can retire or only work because you want to, not because you have to, gives great peace of mind. These things are possible for dentists, and the earlier you start, the better. I began at 34 and just turned 48, and despite highs and lows, I’m still on course to retire or choose at 55. But I can’t imagine quitting at 55! When a seasoned dentist like myself looks toward... dental blog for dentists about dentistry blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2757948 Wed, 02 Sep 2009 13:41:24 +0100 2757948 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2737893&cid=t_232542_125_f&fid=34820&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dentalblogs.com%2Farchives%2Fadministrator%2Fcranham-on-dentistry-in-the-recession%2F As dentists, we must consider how we act in diagnosis and treatment planning. It’s very important that we don’t stop doing comprehensive examinations. In my practice, we’ve still been seeing the same number of new patients. What’s changed is the speed at which patients want to complete treatment. Only after thorough diagnosis can you create a solid treatment plan. You must do X-Rays, photos, workups, etc. Many dentists have stopped doing thorough evaluations and exams, but this will lead to not creating good treatment plans. In this situation, you could actually create your own recession in your practice! Hold your patients’ hands now, and keep them stable and healthy. Some will do major dentistry now, but many phase their treatment to accommodate a reduced personal budget.

My practice has been amalgam free for 10 years because now we simply have better materials. There are benefits in terms of sealing and strenghtening the tooth with composite, as well as the estheitc issue. None of my patients want black or silver fillings, given the alternative. I will say, amalgam is the most forgiving material for fillings. If it’s impossible to isolate a tooth, amalgam is better than composite. In fact, a poor amalgam is better than a poor composite. When composite fillings fail, they fail big. Dentists have more room for error with silver filling materials. So there is still a time... dental blog for dentists about dentistry blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2670961 Tue, 04 Aug 2009 16:00:17 +0100 2670961 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2657772&cid=t_232542_125_f&fid=34820&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dentalblogs.com%2Farchives%2Fcranham%2Fdr-john-cranhams-new-state-of-the-art-dental-office-training-facility-opens-in-virginia%2F Five weeks away from moving into our new office. The practice is building onto Bayview Dental Lab, where Mid-Atlantic Center for Advanced Dental Studies is located. Our new location will allow us to offer Dawson courses in Virginia, on site with our lab and my dental practice. We’ll have five operatories, and those will be used for the practice, as well as teaching hands-on Dawson courses. Course topics have a wide range, including dental records, treatment planing, restoration of anterior teeth, occlusal equilibration, and electives, like implants and advanced esthetics.

According to such a view, not only is autism something that happened to a child; it is something bad that happened—-a recent CBC News special feature, Positively Autistic, says that “since the early 90’s, an autistic rights movement has sprung up, challenging the official view of autism and working to change how the world sees autism.” Interviewed are: Amanda Baggs, Estée Klar-Wolfond of The Autism Acceptance Project, Michael Moon, Michelle Dawson, Dr. Laurent Motron, and Ari Ne’eman and Scott Robertson of the Autisitc Self-Advocacy Network.

I quote from the end: …..this Tribunal decision, for all its faults with respect to the facts of the specific case, is instead a step in the right direction. It’s a step towards human rights for autistics in Canada, and towards all the possibilities human beings have, when we are regarded and treated as equals, and can proceed in society as fully human beings with human rights and dignity.

Or are the rest of us just trapped in ours? asks Tara Parker-Pope on the New York Times, regarding the the Wired magazine article on autism featuring Amanda Baggs and Michelle Dawson. Parker-Pope asks a chicken and egg kind of question about autism: Is it a disease and a disability? Or is it a difference, a different way of being human? And who decides—autistic persons themselves, “experts” in autism, those who live with autistic persons—or who should decide?

Yes. It’s very obvious to me why people would think my son is mentally retarded; his academic performance and testing reveal this. But anyone who’s spent any time with Charlie knows that—-while he is very limited in his speech and while it often takes a long time (minutes, hours, days) for him to understand things that are said to him—-he doesn’t just look smart, but he is. Charlie’s very attuned to all...

The article closely profiles Amanda Baggs—-who notes that “‘I don’t fit the stereotype of autism. But who does?’”— and Michelle Dawson—-who says “‘There’s such a variety of human behavior. Why is my kind wrong?”‘. And some words by Mike Merzenich, a professor of neuroscience at UC San Francisco: Mike Merzenich…….says the notion that 75 percent of autistic people are mentally retarded is “incredibly wrong and destructive.” He has worked with a number of autistic children, many of whom are nonverbal and would have been plunked into the low-functioning category. “We label them...
