Flu Season Is Here
While The Shot May Shorten The Time This Strain Is Getting All The Attention!
By Larry Blustein sfsuntimes@aol.com “Wash your hands over and over again,” Elaine Montanez yelled to her husband, Luis. That is something that used to sound like nag-
ging, but now could be life saving as we are very much in flu season - and stories are NOT pretty. Every year a strain of the flu will baffle even the most ardent medical professionals. It just happens
and if you are not protecting yourself to the max, there is a chance that you can get sick - tragically even die. Any strain of flu virus is potentially lethal for the young and elderly, but
also on anyone who is sick at any age. Barbara Cohen is a kidney transplant patient who at 36 would normally be young enough to combat a flu with rest, liquids and enough care, but if
she gets a strain of virus that gets past her yearly vaccine, it could be a lethal situation. Having just one kidney and an immune system that can break down easily, Cohen knows exactly
what she has to do to avoid being sick, and part of it starts with what Morales said about washing your hands. “I don’t care if the skin wears down from washing too much, but germs are all over our hands and the moment we eat or put our fingers near our mouths, we are subject to being sick - perhaps to a point where people are rushed to the hospital,” Cohen explained. “I am in a different position than most, but everyone - no matter what their age or health condition - they can be affected by these strains of the flu.”
KNOW THE FLU Influenza (also known as flu) is a contagious respiratory illness caused by flu viruses. It can cause mild to severe illness, and at times can lead to death. Flu is different from a cold. Flu usually comes on suddenly. People who are sick with flu often feel some or all of these symptoms: Fever - although not in every case - or feeling cough, feverish/chills, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, muscle or body aches, headaches

DENTAL IMPLANTS VS. BRIDGES How To Know Which Are Best For You Should you get a dental implant or a bridge? To ensure you make the right choice, you need to know these facts….
What are Dental Implants? This is a good option if you have lost a tooth or teeth to an injury, periodontal disease, or other reasons. A dental implant is a titanium post (acting as a tooth root) that supports a crown. It is surgically inserted into the jawbone where it will then fuse (or osseointegrate) into the jawbone to ensure that it is anchored in position. After the osseointegration process is finished (usually 3-6 months), an abutment is attached to the post frame. It protrudes above the gum line to provide the area where the dental crown is cemented or screwed into. TYPES OF IMPLANTS: Endosteal implants
HEALTHY PARTNERS
One big perk about dental implants is that they can last a lifetime when they are high quality. They require little maintenance. They are strong and stable, and they keep your smile confident.
Endosteal implants are directly implanted into the jawbone during surgery. A second surgery is needed to connect the post to the first implant once the gum tissue has healed. Last, an artificial tooth is mounted to the post.
Subperiosteal implants With subperiosteal implants, a metal frame is fitted onto the jawbone right below the gum tissue. The frame becomes fixed to the jawbone as the gums heal. Once ready, the artificial tooth is attached to the post.
Advantages of --Dental Implants Little maintenance One big perk about dental implants is that they can last a lifetime when they are high quality. They require little maintenance. Natural looking Dental implants look, feel, and function like a natural tooth. They are strong and stable, and they keep your smile confident. In the end, it’s all about what you like and what fits your mouth.
