Teeth Whitening - Laser Bleaching Systems And Non-Laser Bleaching Systems

Written by Matt Moncrieff


Continued from page 1

The Smartbleach system uses a small and portable dental laser that can be used for a wide range of other applications including, endodontics, periodontics, haemostatic soft-tissue surgery, gingival troughing and retraction, caries prevention, desensitizing, fistula pathology, enhanced fluoride treatments and more. In all of these cases treatments withrepparttar Smartbleach laser are less invasive and can deliver superior results than those achieved with traditional methods.

Some other bleaching systems also claim to use laser technology or at least imply that they use a laser. In fact many use heat lamps or halogen lights, which are limited in their versatility, and asrepparttar 114006 CRA data showed, their effectivenes; this is an issue that every dentist should consider, particularly because there are distinct clinical and marketing benefits to using laser technology. As Dr Jacques Meschemberg from Adelaide has discovered,repparttar 114007 marketing potential of a state-of-the-art laser system can changerepparttar 114008 way patients perceive a dental practice. Dr Meschemberg has been usingrepparttar 114009 Smartbleach system and has treated over 400 patients. He states: “The Smartbleach laser has proved to be an excellent profit centre in its own right and also a great practice builder”. Dr Meschemberg’s experience shows that not only will existing patients try Smartbleach, but many new patients visit his practice because he offers Smartbleach. This has generated further business through these new patients returning for other dental work.

In conclusion, to avoid misleading patients and to ensure that they are choosingrepparttar 114010 most approprite system for their practice, dentists should understand all ofrepparttar 114011 facts about teeth bleaching before making a decision about which system to introduce into their practice. As part of High Tech Laser Australia’s commitment to ongoing research and education, Smartbleach is part of short-term and long-term university studies that will help dentists to make informed desicions about in-office bleaching methods.

Gene Food: Is Biotechnology “Really Friendly”

Stringent regulations ensurerepparttar safety of biotech techniques – True or False?

Health Canada, Environment Canada, Human Resources Canada, Fisherlee and Oceans along with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada jointly regulaterepparttar 114005 products of biotechnology. They assess health risks before products made by biotechno10gy are allowed onrepparttar 114006 market. These agencies ensure that human and animal health andrepparttar 114007 environment are not harmed. In Canada today,repparttar 114008 only approved use of biotechnology for food production is for chymosin produced through recombinant DNA techniques.

Chymosin, known asrepparttar 114009 "animal-friendly cheese enzyme" is far cheaper and easier to produce by biotechnology than its predecessor rennet, which had to be extracted from bacteria inrepparttar 114010 lining of calves' stomachs (Almost halfrepparttar 114011 cheese made in North America no longer requires rennet – but there are complications beyond normal ken with this process, so make sure you knowrepparttar 114012 whole story).

Also under consideration by Canada's regulators is an application byrepparttar 114013 Canadian dairy industry to use bovine somatotropin, or BST, to increase milk production. BST, a protein hormone needed by cows to produce milk, can now be made outsiderepparttar 114014 cow's body through recombinant DNA techniques, then put back into cows to enhance milk production. This could be a very dangerous process.

In conclusion – beware.

Given thatrepparttar 114015 world's present population of nearly 6 billion will double to nearly 12 billion byrepparttar 114016 year 2030, one would think right away that anything that can help food production keep pace should be welcomed. Never-the-less,repparttar 114017 advent of gene modification techniques gave us several GMOs including most notoriously Soy.

The Soy GMO has, inrepparttar 114018 first 10 short years, contaminated virtuallyrepparttar 114019 entire world’s crops of Soy, torepparttar 114020 point where there is practically no uncontaminated Soy stock left anywhere. The possibilities of “Certified Organic Soy” are virtually nonexistent. Similar problems are arising with other GMO grains aroundrepparttar 114021 world.

Two problems seem to arise from genetic modifications. While we have increased production of grains, helping to meet food shortages with increasing populations, digestive disorders abound withrepparttar 114022 new grains and cross-polinization with unmodified stocks is slowly contaminatingrepparttar 114023 world’s crops of “natural” grain stocks.

Our governments seem to be hiding these known, published and publicized results of GMO activities. One thing is certain right now:repparttar 114024 producers of Bio88+ (Plus) use onlyrepparttar 114025 very finest “certified” organic components inrepparttar 114026 making of their highly nutritious food product. In itself it provides virtually all ofrepparttar 114027 added nutrition, inrepparttar 114028 form of vitamins and minerals, that you need in your diet in order to maintain excellent health.

Bio88+ (Plus) is produced in a government supervised laboratory using an ancient Native North American fermentation process. Feel free to contactrepparttar 114029 author by email for additional information.
