Routinely visiting the dentist for cleanings and other checkups is one way to prevent periodontal disease, which is usually unrecognizable in its early stages.
Dental Care
Can Help Prevent Periodontal Disease
Kids often lament daily dental care. Mom and Dad might insist kids brush their teeth each morning and before bed, but that doesn't mean kids enjoy these daily dental rituals. While it's notoriously difficult to get kids to take dental care seriously, many adults also approach dental care with something less than an enthusiastic effort. Dental hygiene routines or visits to the dentist might not be welcomed with open arms, but their importance, especially with regards to preventing periodontal disease, is paramount. To understand that connection better, it can help to get a firmer grasp on periodontal disease, its potentially negative consequences and how to prevent it.
What is periodontal disease? Periodontal disease is commonly referred to as gum disease. An infection of the tissues that surround and support the teeth, periodontal disease is a major cause of adult tooth loss. According to the American Dental Association, periodontal disease is often painless, and many adults may have it without even knowing it.
What causes periodontal disease? Periodontal disease is caused by a sticky film of bacteria that forms on the teeth. This film is called plaque, and the bacteria that forms creates toxins that can damage the gums.
Are there signs of periodontal disease? There are signs that indicate the presence of periodontal disease, and anyone who notices these signs should see a dentist

immediately. Indicators of periodontal disease include: • gums that bleed when your brush your teeth • red, swollen or tender gums • persistent bad breath • pus between the teeth and gums • gums that have pulled away from the teeth • loose teeth
Can periodontal disease be prevented? As harmful as periodontal disease can be, men and women should know it can be prevented. Taking good care of your teeth and making those dental appointments, no matter how much you might fear the dentist's chair, are great ways to prevent periodontal disease. Keeping gums and teeth healthy requires a daily commitment, but that commitment is easy to make. The following are a few daily routines that can help prevent periodontal disease. •
Brush twice per day. Brushing twice daily removes plaque and reduces the risk for damaged gums. When brushing, the ADA recommends a soft-bristled toothbrush and toothpastes that contain fluoride, which strengthen the teeth and help prevent decay.
Montana | May 2012 | Medical Directory • 11
•
*Clean between the teeth every day. Floss or interdental cleaners remove bacteria from those areas a toothbrush just can't reach, such as between the teeth. Flossing is important, as the ADA notes that early periodontal disease can be reversed by daily brushing and flossing.
•
Don't skip dental visits. Fear of the dentist's chair is not uncommon. Be it kids or adults, many people harbor a fear of going to the dentist, no matter how irrational that fear might be. But skipping dental visits is a recipe for disaster. When detected early, periodontal disease is rather easily reversed. But the longer men and women go between dental visits, the more time periodontal disease has to advance, and serious damage can result. When gum disease has progressed to an advanced stage, this is known as periodontitis. At this point gums can be seriously damaged, possibly resulting in loose teeth or tooth loss. So no matter how much you might fear the dentist's chair, those trips are necessary.
Periodontal disease often goes unnoticed, placing great emphasis on the individual to be proactive and take care of his or her teeth while visiting the dentist at least twice annually. More information on periodontal disease can be found at www.ada.org. TF124027

Achieving a
Slimmer Summer
Body for Swimsuit Season and Beyond
Longer days, bright sun and warm weather can serve as a well-needed dose of motivation to get fit for summer. The trick is to sustain that energy through each changing season as you strive to achieve a healthier lifestyle. If you need some help in developing healthier habits, Weight Watchers Leader and success story Liz Josefsberg, offers five tips to achieving a slimmer summer body by starting now in the spring:
Dive into a fresh fitness routine Spring has arrived, so embrace it and all the physical fitness activities you can enjoy in the warmer months. Take a look at

when, where and what you're currently doing to stay active, and shake up your routine with new seasonal activities like swimming, tennis or running outside. Challenge yourself each month to find a new activity that gets you out and keeps you going through the spring and beyond.
Pack portable snacks Hunger can strike while you're out and about. Avoid the temptations of french fries or chicken fingers available at concession stands. Instead, pack your purse or bag with portable snacks that can stave off hunger and keep you satisfied. Suggestions include sweet sliced apples, reduced fat string cheese, seedless watermelon and even a fresh cucumber salad to help keep you cool.
Drink up but skip the calories Keeping hydrated is key to healthy living, but many drinks have the calorie equivalent of a candy bar. To help reduce your caloric intake, alternate sugary drinks with a calorie-free drink like water, sun tea or diet soda. Find water to be too boring? Give your water some "bling" with seasonal flavors of fresh fruit like lime, lemon and orange. And if you're heading out for an evening of socializing, look for alcoholic drinks with the least amount of sugar and calories like light beer. Also keep in mind that some all natural fruit juices may have the same calories as the real fruits, but eating an apple is much more satisfying. If you are a Weight Watchers member, a fresh apple has zero PointsPlus values, compared to two PointsPlus values for a half cup of apple juice.
Keep your mind focused Taking a vacation doesn't have to be a reprieve from pursuing your healthy living goals. Avoiding reality can lead to even more weight gain. Get on your scale weekly, even if you enjoyed an overindulgent meal or weekend, so you can continue moving forward in a positive direction.
Slim up your social scene Create a support environment within your social circles by organizing healthy meals and activities. Build your gatherings around outside games like volleyball, golf or even rafting. Hold healthy potlucks and invite your friends and family to bring their favorite renovated dishes and recipe cards to swap. Get out and enjoy the warmer months. Use Liz's five tips to succeed this spring in attaining a healthier lifestyle for summer. Visit WeightWatchers.com for more tips, recipes and information about the program. ARA Content

Community Health Center patients will be able to e-mail their providers, check their labs and more as the CHC adopts a new electronic medical record system this summer. “Studies have shown that seeing and communicating with your own provider helps people get better faster, which is the essence of a medical home model,” said Cindy Stergar, chief executive officer for the CHC, of the mid-July changeover to the Epic electronic medical record and practice management system. Providers, nurses and staff at the CHCs will be working hard all summer to learn, prepare and implement the system. “We believe this will help us enhance our mission of serving patients regardless of their ability to pay,” said Jessica Hoff, clinical coordinator.

Grilled Vegetable Napoleons Ingredients Substitute or add other vegetables as you wish. Some nice additions might be new potatoes or red peppers. Although the stacks are attractive and easy to serve, you may also arrange the grilled vegetables and cheese in a casserole. 1/2 cup olive oil 1 large eggplant, cut in 12 slices (1/3-inch thick) 3 medium zucchinis, cut in 24 slices (1/4-inch thick) 3 large tomatoes, cut in 6 slices (1/3-inch thick) 3 medium red onions, cut in 12 slices (1/3-inch thick) 3/4 cup ricotta cheese Salt and pepper to taste 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped 1/2 lb. mozzarella cheese, sliced 1/4-inch thick 6 sprigs fresh rosemary
Directions Preheat barbecue and set on low. Brush vegetables with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and grill slowly until tender, turning once. Transfer the vegetables to a tray, arranging them in a single layer, and cover tightly with plastic wrap. The vegetables may be grilled a day in advance, and refrigerated after cooling. Bring the vegetables back to room temperature before proceeding.
Assembly Stir together the ricotta, thyme, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Place one slice of eggplant on a lightly oiled grill sheet or foil pan. Spread 1 tablespoon of the ricotta mixture over the eggplant. Cover with 2 slices of zucchini, 1 slice of onion, 1 slice of mozzarella, 1 slice of tomato, and 2 slices of zucchini. Spread 1 tablespoon of the ricotta mixture over the onion, and top with another slice of eggplant. Repeat this procedure with the remaining vegetables to make 5 more stacks. Insert a wooden skewer through the centre of each stack to create a hole from top to bottom. Remove the bottom leaves from each rosemary sprig, leaving one inch of leaves on the top. Insert 1 sprig into the centre hole in each napoleon, and return to the barbecue.

Simple Ways to
Reduce Fatigue
Fatigue can indicate a host of things. Men and women who are overworked feel fatigue, as do men and women whose diet is low on nutrition. Fatigue can also be the result of a medical condition, which only sheds light on how important it is for men and women dealing with fatigue to speak to their physician about their condition. In addition to working with a physician to fight fatigue, there are steps men and women can take reduce fatigue and start feeling more energetic. •
Get off the couch. A sedentary lifestyle will only make it more likely that you will feel fatigued. But including daily exercise as part of your routine will not only boost your energy levels, but also improve circulation, increase your metabolism and relieve tension, an especially valuable benefit for overworked men and women.
•
Get some sleep. The notion that sleep can help fight fatigue might sound simple, but a good night’s sleep can elevate energy levels throughout the day, helping the body rest and recover. Failing to get sufficient sleep, which many people find is seven to eight hours per night, can turn today’s fatigue into tomorrow’s fatigue, and so on.
•
Address any sources of stress. Fatigue can be a side effect of stress. Many men and women find work is their primary source of stress, but finances and relationship issues can be stressful as well. Whatever the source of your stress, address it and don’t allow it to fester. If it’s work, then look for ways to make work less stressful, whether it’s telecommuting more often or sharing more responsibilities. Exercise is a great way to relieve stress, but men and women fighting stress-related fatigue should address the source of the stress as well.
Exercise and drinking plenty of water are two ways to effectively combat fatigue.

•
Reduce sugar intake. Sugar might provide an initial burst of energy, especially for people battling fatigue. However, once your blood sugar levels begin to drop, which can happen rather quickly, you will notice a rather steep decline in your energy level. To successfully combat fatigue, avoid relying on quick fixes that only offer temporary relief.

Continued from Insomnia, on page 6 Expose yourself to bright lights when you wake up
Exposure to bright light early in the morning, typically for 30 to 40 minutes, has been shown to promote healthy habits and a good night's sleep.
Change your pillow
The ideal pillow is one that helps you maintain natural alignment between your neck, head and spine as you shift positions during the night. Because people tend to change sleeping positions at multiple times during the night, finding the right pillow is not always easy. A waterbase pillow is a good solution, because the water gently disperses and fills the region between your shoulder and jaw, to maintain proper cervical support - no matter what position you sleep in.
Alter your eating habits. If you’re a proponent of three large meals per day but are battling fatigue, then it might be time to alter your eating habits. Replace the large meals with smaller meals, and snack throughout the day to maintain high energy levels. Just be sure to consume healthy snacks, and don’t forget to drink water throughout the day. Doing so will fight dehydration, Establish a routine By keeping a regular bedtime, your body becomes trained to which can also cause fatigue. ritually wind down and speed up, thus bringing on sleep more consistently. Consider avoiding daytime naps, as they may alter your body's natural sleep cycle. Abstaining from naps helps to keep the body on schedule. "There is no single answer to insomnia," Bard says. "But at Mediflow, we understand the importance of a good night's sleep. We firmly believe that combining the right products with a healthy lifestyle can help individuals create an overall sleep strategy that should help lessen sleep woes." ARA Content

Childhood Obesity with Tips for Healthy Family Living (ARA) - Today, health professionals encourage parents of even very young children to actively confront the childhood obesity epidemic. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention find that obesity rates for children ages 2 to 5 have more than doubled over the past 30 years, and The White House Task Force on Obesity reports that more than half of obese children became obese by their second birthday. "With the obesity epidemic looming large, it's absolutely crucial for parents to instill healthy habits right from the start," says Dr. Laura Jana, pediatrician and award-winning parenting author. "While this may seem like a tremendous responsibility for those still adjusting to diapers, play dates and the many other demands of new parenthood, it's not hard to help children grow up healthy by committing to some simple yet important lifestyle changes." Jana recommends some tips:
Downsize your plate, upsize the veggies. An easy way to cut down on unhealthy eating is to use a smaller plate. Portion sizes are now two to five times larger than in years past, and studies have shown that the bigger the serving dish, the bigger the serving is likely to be. "The more we heap on our children's plates, the more likely we are to unintentionally encourage them to overeat. Avoiding large plates can help you avoid serving supersized meals," Jana says.

What belongs on that healthier-sized plate? The USDA MyPlate program recommends making half your plate fruits and vegetables and the other half protein and grains. Other important recommendations include serving fat-free or lowfat (1 percent) milk to children older than 2, choosing lowersodium foods and skipping sugary drinks. This simple, freshplated picture-of-nutritional-health program even comes with online tools to create a customized food plan for your little one.
