DENTAL HEALTH WHY IT IS
SAFE & IMPORTANT TO VISIT THE DENTIST DURING A PANDEMIC STORY BY NELL CURRAN
Most people know that they should get dental cleanings and examinations at least twice a year and to attend to any dental symptoms promptly. In this pandemic climate, however, unmasking and "opening wide" for a dental exam might feel extra scary. We spoke to local experts to find out what people should do to care for their teeth while minimizing coronavirus risks.

IMPROVED SAFETY AND REDUCED RISK
When COVID-19 hit, dentists immediately did everything they could to help ensure they could operate safely. Some offices initially closed. Others, like Palmetto Dental Arts in Bluffton, remained open for emergencies. “Patients with dental emergencies would have been left with no option but waiting it out or visiting an emergency room,” Dr. Jessica Gower said. “ERs have high-exposure risks and aren’t well equipped to handle dental care even in the best of times, so we chose to stay open to serve those patients.” Dr. Matthew Mastrorocco of ROC Dental Group in Hilton Head said that as his practice reopened for routine care, “we really went through every part of the office and the visit to minimize risk. We started by extending our appointment length to allow more separation between patients and to minimize traffic.” His office also installed a high-grade air filtration system that virtually eliminates airborne pathogens. In addition, they became extra diligent about Personal Protective Equipment, eliminated “touchpoints” by implementing contactless procedures to check in and out, and implemented patient screening procedures.
SAFETY THE TOP PRIORITY
Studies have searched for dental transmission of the coronavirus and found zero confirmed cases. In an NPR report last year, the CDC and World Health Organization said no confirmed cases of the coronavirus had been transmitted in a dental office. In early rankings of occupational risk for COVID exposure, hygienists and dentists both ranked at the top (100th and 97th percentiles, respectively). Dr. Mastrorocco offers a potential explanation for why there had been no confirmed cases of dental transmission. “Safety of our patients and staff has always been dentists’ top priority.” With SARS in the early-2000s and AIDS/HIV, dental offices had already been poised to “be on the frontlines in reducing pathogen exposure.”
AVOIDING DENTAL CARE ISN’T THE ANSWER
Dr. Mastrorocco emphasized that dental health is important beyond just our mouths. Poor dental and gum health have been linked to cardiovascular risk, weakened immune systems and respiratory issues. “Professional cleanings and exams are where you have an expert looking and evaluating what is going on, and hopefully, getting dental X-rays to catch problems early," Dr. Mastrorocco said. And Dr. Gower notes, “Catching something earlier makes it faster, cheaper, and easier to fix.”
YOUR DENTIST ISN’T JUDGING YOU
Dr. Mastrorocco said that he has seen some impacts in patients who have already waited. Having been away for this long, patients might experience symptoms that signal it’s time to visit the dentist, whether it’s bleeding gums, pain that’s either constant or comes and goes, or sensitivity. But while a trip to the dentist is a source of anxiety for many people, especially after being away for more than a year, both doctors emphasized your visit is welcomed. “Often dental care isn’t as bad as people think, even if it’s been a while,” said Dr. Gower. “The important thing is to get in when you can, and we’ll work with you to make it as safe and comfortable as possible.”

ROC Dental Group For more than 20 years, Dr. Matt Mastrorocco, owner of ROC Dental Group, has been committed to providing the most advanced dental healthcare in the country to our Lowcountry community. “We’re always at the forefront of dental technology, but in reality, the thing that always sets us apart is our connection,” said Dr. Mastrorocco. “There’s an underlying fear for a majority of our patients, and our entire team tries to focus on making them feel at ease.” From the first phone call to the moment you exit our doors, you will feel that there is something different about ROC Dental Group. “I know some patients have had previous experiences at the dentist that were not great,” said Dr. Jordan Haire, who joined our practice after moving to Hilton Head from Louisville, KY in 2020. “I’m always trying to make sure they are comfortable, whether it’s talking about the previous experience, or letting them know that, if they’re uncomfortable, we’re going to do everything in our power to change that before we proceed.” And our commitment to wellness extends far beyond our dental chairs.

Whether they feed those without enough to eat, provide access to the internet or sewer service, or teach our neighbors to read and write, we give our time and profits to those in need so that our entire community can be well.

KEEP SLEEPING
BABIES SAFE STORY BY HILTON HEAD REGIONAL HOSPITAL
You can’t wait to get your baby home and watch them grow strong and healthy. To give them the best chance for that, be sure you know how to protect them and keep them safe as well. That includes when they are awake, at naptime, bedtime and any time you put them down to sleep. In fact, learning safe sleeping habits could save your baby’s life. Did you know that Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is the leading cause of death in babies one month to one year of age? Fortunately, there are steps parents and caregivers can take to prevent SIDS.

Provide a safe sleeping environment night and day.
} 2 0 2 1 // 9
I I H E A LT H + W E L L N E S S I I
Here are important facts and recommendations from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development to help your baby sleep safe and sound and reduce the risk of SIDS:
BABIES SLEEP SAFEST ON THEIR BACKS. Placing your baby on his/her back to sleep is the best way to reduce the risk of SIDS. ROOM SHARING. Keeping your baby’s sleep area in the same room where you sleep reduces the risk of SIDS and other sleep-related causes of infant death. Your baby should not sleep in an adult bed, on a couch, or on a chair alone, with you, or with anyone else. USE A FIRM SLEEP SURFACE. The firm surface can include: a safetyapproved crib, bassinet and portable play area. Never place a baby on soft surfaces such as a couch or sofa, pillows, quilts, sheepskins or blankets. SAFE SLEEP AREA. Keep soft objects, toys, crib bumpers and loose bedding out of your baby’s sleep area to reduce risk of SIDS and other sleep-related causes of infant death. DO NOT SMOKE DURING PREGNANCY, and do not smoke or allow smoking around your baby.
DRY PACIFIER.
Give your baby a dry pacifier that is not attached to a string for naps and at night to reduce the risk of SIDS. Do not force the baby to use it if it falls out of baby’s mouth during sleep.
REDUCING
THE RISK OF SIDS
TEMPERATURE AWARENESS. Don’t let your baby get too hot during sleep. Dress your baby in no more than one layer more of clothing than an adult would wear to be comfortable. Keep the room a temperature that is comfortable for an adult. EDUCATE CAREGIVERS. Make sure other caregivers know and follow these safe-sleep steps for babies under 1 year of age.

HOLISTIC WELL-BEING ALTERNATIVE TREATMENTS THAT PROMOTE OPTIMAL HEALTH BY HILTON HEAD MONTHLY
Holistic medicine focuses on the whole body through emotional and spiritual well-being. Today “alternative medicine” describes holistic, integrative or “complementary” treatments used instead of or in conjunction with traditional therapies.
12 // H I LT O N H E A D M O N T H LY. C O M
The practice of holistic medicine integrates conventional and alternative therapies to prevent and treat disease, and to promote optimal health. Here are some of the most popular alternative treatments available.
ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture has been in the Chinese medicine cabinet for thousands of years, effectively unblocking the flow of internal energy through the body’s pathways by inserting thin metal needles into the skin at specific trouble spots. The procedure redirects energy to help alleviate pain. Practitioners also use acupuncture to stimulate connective tissue, nerves and muscles, as well as to increase blood flow to release the body’s natural pain relievers. It’s often used when standard therapies, medications and treatments have been ineffective. Common ailments like neck pain, lower back pain, knee pain, allergies, insomnia, headaches, nerve injuries, chronic fatigue, stress, anxiety, inflammation and arthritis can be improved with acupuncture. During a typical acupuncture session, five to 20 needles are inserted painlessly at targeted distress points and left for 10 to 20 minutes. All acupuncturists must be licensed by the state of South Carolina.
CHIROPRACTIC Many people who have never seen a chiropractor imagine stretching out face down on a table as a doctor pushes and pulls — accompanied by pain and scary cracking or popping noises. But that sound you might hear is only the stretching of spinal joint tissue — a simple, painless readjustment of structural alignment in the musculoskeletal system. Spinal manipulation can help increase joint movement and muscle relaxation and can be done by hand or with a special device. Controlled force on the affected joint can be gentle or strong, slow or fast. Heat, electrical stimulation or ultrasound might be used prior to hands-on treatment. Back and neck pain are the most common reasons people seek out chiropractors, but headaches and arm or leg pain also might prompt treatment.
HERBAL MEDICINE
Herbalists nurture good health and help prevent and treat illnesses using natural remedies. Modern synthetic, single-chemical medications have long been the go-to source for curative powers and health maintenance among alternative healers. Specific herbs and ingredients treat different complaints, and healers say herbal treatments rarely are accompanied by the side effects of modern pharmaceuticals. Turmeric, cinnamon, rosemary, ginger, basil, garlic and St. John’s wort are among the most popular and therapeutic herbs.
HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY
As part of the treatment, patients enter a total-body chamber in which atmospheric pressure is increased and controlled to produce 100 percent pure oxygen. The technique enhances the body’s natural healing process by stimulating damaged tissue. As the blood transports oxygen throughout the body, bacteria are attacked and growth factors and stem cells are released.
2 0 2 1 // 13
I I H E A LT H + W E L L N E S S I I
Oxygen therapy can help treat severe anemia, blood pressure problems, burns, decompression sickness, gangrene, vision loss, diabetic foot ulcers, skin or bone infections, and skin grafts, among other conditions.
MEDICAL SPAS
Minimally or non-invasive aesthetic procedures led by advances in laser machine technological have pushed this hybrid industry fast-forward into our culture. Aging baby boomers, most of them women, are lining up for laser hair removal, chemical peels, microdermabrasion, skin rejuvenation, Botox injections, dermal fillers, body contouring, facials, waxing and other anti-aging treatments.
PHYSICAL THERAPY
When you find you’re suffering from limited range of movement or aches and pains, make an appointment for physiotherapy. This will help to relieve pain and restore normal movement, whether you’re healing from a minor injury or recovering from joint surgery. A physical therapist will examine and diagnose your physical symptoms of pain, explore your lifestyle and daily activities, and determine a game plan for treatment. The end goal is to restore and enhance flexibility, strength, endurance, coordination and balance. A therapist’s first duty will be to reduce pain and swelling, sometimes with manual therapy and techniques such as heat or cold or electrical stimulation.
TRADITIONAL SPAS
Spas have long been associated with nature’s healing hot springs and mineral waters, dating back to ancient Greek and Roman times. Spa services often include massages for muscle relaxation and relief from tension; facial and body treatments for contouring, detoxifying, toning and exfoliating; manicures; pedicures; and hair services. Pools, steam rooms, saunas, whirlpools and relaxing lounges provide total sensory wellness and calm in a soothing environment. Therapists and estheticians also conduct a variety of specialty services.
YOGA AND PILATES
Yoga is believed to have reached the U.S. in the 1800s; it saw a surge in popularity in the 1960s and has been popular ever since. A progression of holistic seated and standing poses stimulates blood flow to all the organs, glands and tissues for proper body alignment. Although there are many similarities between yoga and Pilates, the century-old younger technique focuses on strengthening the core muscles, which in turn strikes a balance between muscle groups and forms a stronger, more flexible physique. One difference between the two practices is that yoga moves at a slower pace and holds each pose for a longer period than Pilates. Other alternative medicine practices include sound therapy, transcendental meditation, magnetic energy therapy, reiki, tai chi, gi gong breathing exercises, healing touch, pet-partner therapy, acupressure, aromatherapy, hydrotherapy, biofeedback, naturopathy and reflexology. 14 // H I LT O N H E A D M O N T H LY.

ROLL UP YOUR
SLEEVES
THESE SHOTS ARE ESSENTIAL FOR SENIORS BY MARIE MCADEN
No one likes getting shots. But those dreaded vaccinations you received as a kid are just as important now that you’re an adult. A lot of seniors grew up in an age of miracle cures. The antibiotics and vaccines of the mid-20th century were so effective that we’re fortunate we don’t even remember how
16 // H I LT O N H E A D M O N T H LY. C O M
dreaded — even deadly — were polio, tuberculosis and other diseases that are all but unknown now. But did those blessings make you a little complacent? For instance, have you had your COVID vaccine yet? Do you get an annual flu shot? Are you aware of what other vaccines are recommended for your age and medical history?

WHY GET VACCINATED?
“The first reason to get immunized is to protect yourself against illness, as there are several serious diseases that can be prevented by vaccination, like COVID-19, which has killed over a half million people in the U.S. in the past year; influenza, which can also be fatal for older adults; pneumonia, which is particularly dangerous for senior; and shingles, a painful skin rash," said Dr. Brad Kelly, a boardcertified family medicine physician at Beaufort Memorial May River Primary Care in Bluffton. “Other shots are necessary because of waning immunity, as the protection from the initial vaccination, 18 // H I LT O N H E A D M O N T H LY. C O M
Recommends vaccines for all ages... especially older adults.
}
which you may have received as a child, decreases over time. Plus, some adults never received certain vaccinations in childhood and need to get them now." Getting immunized doesn’t just protect your own health, it also protects the health of those around you, Dr. Kelly said.
RECOMMENDED VACCINATIONS FOR OLDER ADULTS
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends different vaccines at different ages. Dr. Kelly advises his older adult patients get these immunizations:
• COVID-19: It is crucial that you get vaccinated if you have not already done so as COVID-19 can cause serious illness or death, with older adults being at greater risk. And if you get sick, you could spread the disease to friends, family, and others around you. In clinical trials, the currently available vaccines have reduced the risk of contracting COVID-19 and are highly effective at preventing severe cases that require hospital care or cause death. If you have questions about the vaccine, visit the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) website at scdhec. org/covid-19. • Influenza: Get your flu shot every year to reduce your chances of being infected with the influenza viruses expected to be most common during the season. Older adults are at higher risk of serious flu and flu-related complications including pneumonia and hospitalization. But there are also other risks that may not be as obvious. For instance, according to the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases, flu increases the risk of heart attack by

•
three to five times and stroke by two to three times for those over 65. Tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis: After your first dose of Tdap (a combination of the three vaccinations), you need a booster for tetanus and diphtheria every 10 years. Shingles: Almost one out of every three Americans will develop shingles, a painful rash that develops on the face or body. The herpes zoster vaccine is recommended for adults age 50 and older. Pneumococcal: Two vaccines are recommended for adults age 65 and older to prevent some cases of pneumonia, bacterial meningitis and sepsis. Measles, mumps and rubella: You may need the MMR vaccine if you were born in the U.S. after 1957 and were not vaccinated.
“Talk with your primary care physician to be sure you’re fully protected,” said Dr. Kelly. “The bottom line is vaccines prevent diseases that can be dangerous or even deadly, so roll up your sleeve and get your shots.”

RESOURCES TO HELP IMPROVE MENTAL HEALTH
SELF-CARE IS ESSENTIAL BY ELIZABETH SNYDER
Life has changed for many people since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020. According to the Centers for Disease Control, the incidence of mental health disorders, substance abuse, and suicidal ideations are on the rise, particularly with minorities, young adults, unpaid care givers, and essential workers. For some, mental health disorders did not just appear last year, but are an ongoing daily struggle. One’s ability to care for the activities of daily life, such as bathing, dressing, proper sleep and exercise, are impacted by the stressors in life. Here are a few resources to assist with recognition of some common mental health conditions in an effort to improve self-care during difficult times or in times of sudden change.
RECOGNIZE THE SIGNS
Many resources help those struggling with emotional and physical symptoms and to better understand the “why.” The National Alliance on Mental Illness has a website (nami.org) that lists common conditions. It also has resources to help one determine the difference between expected behaviors and what may be considered a mental illness. More than 19 million adults in the United States had at least one depressive episode in the last year, according to NAMI. If you or a loved one are experiencing changes in sleep, appetite, lack of interest in normal activities, lack of concentration, or suicidal thoughts, this may be a sign of depression. Similarly, emotional symptoms of feeling tense or jumpy, anticipating the worst, or physical symptoms
20 // H I LT O N H E A D M O N T H LY. C O M
of heart racing, sweating, or headaches may be signs of anxiety developing. Taking inventory of these symptoms can be an important step in self-care.
ADMIT YOU MAY BE STRUGGLING
There is no shame in admitting that isolation, too much “togetherness,” grief/loss, or work fatigue are impacting your psyche or mental health. Mental Health America has some great resources for identifying the impact on one’s health. MHA’s website (mhanational.org) includes questionnaires to help identify conditions such as depression, post-traumatic stress disorders (PTSD), bipolar disorders, anxiety and others. This site provides some direction and next steps for some positive findings on these screening tools.
FIND RESOURCES TO SUPPORT YOUR NEEDS
Many great resources are available to help people deal with stress at work, coping and support for children, and coping with grief. Each of these conditions can greatly impact self-care. A link at the CDC website (Bit.ly/dailylifecoping), provides some of these resources. Some people prefer to do things on their own. For the “do-it-yourself” or DIY crowd, Mental Health America also offers DIY tools such as worksheets to
overcome thoughts that you struggle with, managing strong emotions after a trauma or stress, and developing better emotional fitness. Visit screening.mhanational.org/diy for DIY tools to support mental health.
TAKE ACTION
Not everyone can deal with stressors alone. If you feel you need a higher level of care, then seeking the advice of a health care professional may be necessary. The important thing to remember is help exists. The “Get Help” tab on the Mental Health America website includes some non-traditional resources such as E-psychiatry, a national online therapy resource; a national peer- run community support resource; and national support groups for those desiring emotional wellness assistances. Self-care is vital to overall good mental and physical health. Recognition of symptoms impacting good self-care is a key step to ensuring good overall health. There is no shame in seeking professional help. Elizabeth Snyder, DNP, FNP-BC is a Family Nurse Practitioner in Hilton Head, a board member with Mental Health America Beaufort Jasper/Island House, and a faculty member in the College of Nursing at Medical University of South Carolina.
