The Damaging Effects Of Wearing Dentures Are Clear!

Your jawbones need the support of the tooth roots to remain healthy, stimulated and strong. Throughout time, jawbones that do not have the support of tooth roots lose height, width and density of the bone.

The jawbone immediately after extraction of all teeth is of normal height, width and density.

After several years of wearing dentures, the jawbone deteriorates due to the constant pressure during chewing. The changes in bone height and width make the original dentures fit poorly.

Continuing to wear dentures will result in further jawbone deterioration and an increasingly poor denture fit, significantly affecting qualty of life.

Implant-Retained Overdentures can slow this bone loss, eliminate the need for adhesives and keep your teeth InPlace™.

The patient and any other person responsible for payments has a right to refuse to pay, cancel payment or be reimbursed for payment for any other service examination or treatment which is performed as a result of and within seventy two (72) hours of responding to the advertisement for the free, discounted fee, or reduced fee service, examination or treatment, implant, cosmetic and laser dentistry is not recognized as a specialty by the ADA. All dentists are independent contractors.

What Are Mini Dental Implants? The Mini Dental Implant (MDI) System consists of a miniature titanium implant that acts like the root of your tooth and a retaining fixture that is incorporated into the base of your denture, The head of the implant is shaped like a ball and the retaining fixture acts like a socket that contains a rubber O-ring. The O-ring snaps over the ball when the denture is seated and holds the denture at a predetermined level of force. When seated, the denture gently rests on the gum tissue. The implant fixtures allow for micromobility while withstanding natural lifting forces.

Is the Mini Dental Implant FDA approved? Yes, the product is safe for public use and in fact, has beneficial attributes, the FDA granted its formal consent to market the Mini Dental Implant device not only as a transitional or temporary dental product, but significantly, as a long-term item. IMTEC was the first company to receive long-term approval of its MDI implants from the FDA, and for several years, was the only company to have that distinction.

When can Mini Dental Implants be used? When critically needed for support purposes, and where solid bony adaptation (integration) has clearly occurred, mini implants can function as long-term supporting structures rather than as short-term or medium term devices. In fact, some have been successfully functioning in patients’ jaws for several decades. In the past several years, some clinicians have been utilizing MDI for single tooth replacements and in crown and bridge cases.

What’s the primary and most effective use for Mini Dental Implants? The most effective use of this unique dental product is stabilization of a lower denture. There are approximately 50 million people in the United States who are “edentulous” (literally meaning lacking teeth) who struggle daily with their dentures. A majority suffer a great deal of discomfort as a result of loose or ill-fitting dentures.

Many denture wearers simply withdraw from any type of social engagement as a result of being compelled to wear them.

Moreover, it’s not uncommon for family members to complain about a denture wearer’s disagreeable breath as a result of

cedure that can be performed under a mild anesthesia. The mini dental implants, which are approximately the size of wooden toothpicks, are placed about five millimeters apart in the patient’s mandible. The patient’s denture is then carefully adjusted by the dentist to allow it to snap onto the four mini implants. The stabilized denture allows a patient to speak and eat with confidence.

The Mini Dental Implants are placed in about an hour’s time. Because of the unique, minimally invasive procedure, the minute size of the implants, and the characteristic placement area, the typical Mini Dental Implant patient can enjoy a light meal an hour or so after having the mini implants placed.

CITY NEWS Lessons Learned In Hiring A Private Aide By the daughter of an Aventura mom

Finally, I found the perfect person to look after mom, who could no longer live alone safely. Marie, the aide, was referred by another aide in mom’s building, who seemed to take great care of a very demanding neighbor who was showing signs of confusion like my mother. During the interview process, Marie demonstrated patience, attentiveness to mom’s needs, and had glowing references. I even called two of them, who were out of state, but who affirmed how good Marie was to them or their family member. What a relief! After three weeks in Florida, I finally was able to return to my family in Ohio and feel that mom was in good hands.

At first, all was fabulous. Mom said Marie helped her with showering, picking out her clothes, made small meals, and they went to dinner a lot. Mom also said Marie helped her clean out her drawers and closets, and helped her organize her things.

Then, mom began to complain that Marie moves things around, and mom cannot find them. She told Marie to keep things in one place, and that Marie raising her voice to her. I spoke to Marie, who

said mom moves things around herself, and then cannot find them. I suggested that since mom can get confused, it might be best to organize things the way it would be easier for her. The next day, mom called and said her diamond ring and earrings were missing, and the $400 spare money that she has kept in the corner of her bedside table for years was also missing. I asked to speak to Marie. Mom informed me that Marie went down to the store and had not yet returned.

When I called back later, mom said Marie still had not returned and she did not know what she should do for dinner. I called Security in mom’s building. They had not seen the aide since she left in the morning. I asked them to check on mom.

Feeling upset myself, I called another neighbor, asking if she could either include my mother in her dinner plans or help mom order delivery from a local restaurant, and then see to it that she had something for breakfast in the morning. I called the Aventura police to report a possible theft, and booked an early morning flight back to Florida.

What an ordeal followed. However, at least mom was not physically harmed!

Although I had resisted going through

an agency due to a slightly higher cost, I began a rapid search of getting competent help as soon as possible, calling mom’s doctors and going online. The name Always Classic Care came up several times. When I called, the staff was most professional asking about mom’s status and needs. The owner, Terry Adler, joined the conversation with more specific questions about mom’s personality and capability status, as well as my concerns and services I felt mom would need. Terry advised me that she and her staff would confer immediately to select the most suitable aide, and that she would personally supervise the case. To my surprise, once paperwork was completed with staff, Terry called me back to report she had someone very special for mom who could start later that evening or first thing in the morning. I was amazed. Well, mom hit it off with the new aide immediately, and she has now been with mom for the over a year. It definitely was a great match.

Although I had avoided going through an agency because of the slightly higher cost, it took a bad experience for me to realize the many advantages of using a home health agency or nurse registry.

Aside from dealing with professionals, home health agencies are regulated by the State of Florida. All of their healthcare

workers must submit to a rigorous screening process that includes FBI fingerprinting for any history of wrong doing. A registered agency such as Always Classic Care requires a personal interview conducted by a professional staff who also scrutinize documentation of training, references and work history, and applicants are required to complete pre-employment testing as to knowledge of various levels of care. Also, if there is any problem, question, personality or communication issue once the aide is assigned, the agency will get involved and make immediate changes. And, as in the case of the missing Marie, Terry told me they would have become integrally involved in the investigation. I found that the agency may cost a few dollars more per hour than a private hiring, but now, the cost seems minimal when compared to the open communication and peace of mind that it can bring.

Always Classic Care has offices in three counties and is prepared to meet all your care needs.

Bvddy Up For An Athletic Experience

By Larry Blustein - Aventura Digest

No matter what you do in your life, technology is surrounding us like never before; and the thirst to communicate with everyone has become paramount.

In a world where your smart phone is your lifeline, the direction has certainly moved toward communication and being able to reach out to someone - instantly. There are enough dating and social websites to fulfill just about every whim and desire. But, many are thinking out of that box.

For Pedro Ast, who was a standout tennis player at the University of Miami, taking that social aspect and channeling it toward sports and other activities is what he was after when developing Bvddy, which is an app, much like Tinder, but for athletes to hook up and stay competitive against each other.

“It’s a significant challenge for adult athletes to find other people to play the sports they love with, and it can be particularly hard to find others at the same level of skill and experience,” says the Bvddy founder and CEO. “I experienced this first hand as an athlete.

Bvddy was created to solve this problem.”

The instant success of Bvddy is really not a surprise at all.

Aventura resident and avid runner Kathleen McKenzieShore has been part of the growing number of athletes in south Florida who have taken advantage of this app - and she is excited about what the future holds for this, and other mobilefriendly apps that are specific.

“I used to run alone and listen to music,” said the 34year-old mother of two. “But after the kids were born, I wanted to have someone to run with - and my husband is always working. That’s when I found out about Bvddy. There are tons of people who live in my area that want to bike or run with someone, so it has worked out great for me.”

Bvddy is not difficult to use.

In fact, users simply download the tool and create a profile.

They can then search for and discover other people to play specific sports with based on location, skill level, and other criteria. In addition to the Smart Matching algorithm that learns about users over time to provide the best matches, users can communicate with other players,

schedule times and locations to play, review skills, as well as find local venues. Also, they can discover activities; create public or private sporting events, and rate opponents. Bvddy also encourages users to play and facilitates a fit, healthy lifestyle regardless of player skill level.

“What we did in the first year, when we were launching this app was to keep it local in south Florida, and things couldn’t have gone better,” Ast explained.

“Because of the success we had and the reception by our many users, it was time to now expand it - to help athletes play the sports they love while traveling or within their own community.”

Being based in south Florida, and tapping into the year-round weather that is in place, Ast felt that Miami was the ideal spot to help this take off. After all, in addition to tennis, golf and boating, there are many activities where people are always looking to “buddy” up and enjoy.

To back up how fast this app is growing, Bvddy, announced earlier this year that it closed $1.5 million pre-Series A capitol to expand into new cities and make it easier than ever before for sports players to find their

next pickup basketball game or tennis match. The $1.5 million in funding is led by high profile Latin American investors, IDC Group (Grupo IDC), and former BlueKite CEO and current PayPal executive Bobby Aitkenhead.

The company was launched in 2015. It features proprietary Smart Matching algorithms that learn about players over time, including how often they play, location, actual skill level, punctuality, and competitive spirit, to constantly provide the most accurate matches.

“When you look at technology and how far

everyone is advancing, it’s not a surprise that it has taken off over the past year, plus,” Ast explained. “What we do is make it easier to reach out to tennis buddies, running buddies, yoga buddies and gym buddies. All you have to do is download the app…”

Bvddy is currently available in the Apple App Store. Expansion plans include Bvddy’s launch on Android, as well as in San Francisco, Los Angeles and other major U.S. cities in 2016. For more information, or to download Bvddy visit www.bvddy.com

Jolie Glassman is South Beach’s Fitness Guru and below is how she started transforming people’s lives. This would be a great story to share with you South Florida readers.

Jolie Glassman, owner and operator of South Florida Boxing since 1998, is all about making the people she is around feel good about themselves. She is an inspiration to not only her gym members but also to her employees. She is never looked at as a “boss” but rather as a colleague/friend. Glassman is extremely approachable whether it is for business or for a personal reason.

Glassman’s passion and endurance for what she does is unmatched. She runs the most down-to-earth successful gym in South Beach. South Beach Boxing is a Real Gym for Real People with Real Results.

She loves being able to impact people’s lives with fitness.

Glassman continually grows as an individual and as a strong businesswoman. She continues to Revamp lives.

Glassman is results-driven and thrives on transformations. One of the strongest mottos that Glassman and the South Beach Boxing staff live by is R.I.T.E Fitness – Routine Is the Enemy™. “Workouts should be like sheet music…never the same and always different – timings and tempos. It’s what’s between the music and notes that actually creates the music; and in sports, it’s the moments and spaces between the movements that creates the actual music and dance.”

Glassman always provides the best support and atmosphere for her clients, members and employees. Jolie Glassman is South Beach’s Fitness Guru South Beach Boxing is a full-service, family-style, performance training gym providing hundreds of fun & intense classes a month. Glassman explains her concept as no walls, one format, & lots going on in a safe place and space to share. She describes South Beach Boxing as a Fighting Fitness School, unlike any other fitness facility in that it offers a very educational, individualized, and personalized experience– everyone learns at their own level, on their own heavy bag, and anyone can do it. Classes at the gym include Boxing, Anti-Bully/Lean Teens, Muay Thai, MMA, R.I.T.E. Fitness, Boot Camps, CrossFit, and so many more. At South Beach Boxing, “You Don’t Have to Be a Boxer to Train Like One.” The life journey of Glassman: Glassman was born in Los Angeles (Beverly Hills) and raised in South Florida where fitness became an integral part of her life. Glassman originally started working at gyms over 20+ years ago where she

began teaching group aerobic classes such as Step and Spinning. During her college years, she was a personal trainer & aerobics instructor. After graduating from Florida International University with a BS in Education & Emphasis in Behavior Modification and Minors in Art History, Religion and Philosophy, Glassman was accepted to a full scholarship program called F.O.C.U.S. (For Our Children in Urban Settings), in which 30 people got accepted every 2 years. Her education, training, life and work experience, and passion for making a difference in the lives’ of others have driven her to be dedicated to educating others about health and fitness.

After receiving several educational degrees, Glassman decided to backpack around the world for a little less than a year. Upon returning to the States she began teaching Language Arts to “at-risk” youth in the inner cities of Dade County.

Soon after, she began teaching in lockdown facilities, detention centers, prisons and other outreach facilities. No matter where she instructed, she was always sharing her passion for educating while making a difference in other people’s lives. Glassman is a stand for transformation.

Glassman’s passion and commitment to youth exercise has been influential in the community. In 2010, she launched a “Lean Teens” kid’s fitness program. Teens are encouraged to come to the Lean Teens boxing class after school as a safe place to exercise and get fit. Glassman always says, “When children are encouraged to fight in a controlled environment, they choose not to fight on the streets. Boxing & boxing workouts make kids strong, fit, confident, humble, focused & so much more.”

Glassman continues to educate herself in order to educate others. In 2007, Glassman became extremely involved with Landmark Education, an educational program for living an extraordinary life, soon becoming an Introductory Group Leader. Soon after, she participated in several NLP courses, Tony Robbins courses and different professional life coaching certifications as well. She has since maintained the title as a Certified Professional Life Coach and had a life coaching company called Revamp Your Life, Inc. www.southfloridaboxing.com

HEALTH

Dr. Adler Using Laser In Battle Against Toe Fungus

By Marylynne Newmark, Medical Writer

According to the American Podiatric Medical Association, approximately 40% of patients visiting a podiatrist have complaints or signs of toe fungus. It may begin with tenderness or pain in the toe, developing into an unsightly thick, darkened nail, and it can spread from toe to toe. In fact, the fungus can get so out of control that it can infect the foot and ankle.

Topical treatment such as Lamisil cream usually is the first course of therapy for a mild or moderate case. However, long-term use or oral antifungal medication is not recommended due to the toxic side effects Lamisil can have on the liver. This is a special risk if a patient is taking other medications, including excessive use of Tylenol that can manifest the same hepatic damage.

Over the past few years, Dr. Charlton Adler has been following closely the application and reported results of laser therapy on fungus toenails and other podiatric and wound situations. He is pleased to announce that he now is able to add this service as a therapeutic option in his office in North Miami Beach.

“The introduction of laser in treating toe fungus has had a major impact on attacking this uncomfortable and unsightly problem,” says Dr. Adler. He further explains that Onychomycosis, the medical term for fungal infection of the nail, is often ignored because it can be present for years without causing pain.

“When the fungus imbeds itself under the nail,” he adds, “the nail surface can become darker in color and the area can develop an odor. The fungus lives on debris under the nail, and white marks can appear on the nail plate.”

Approved for the treatment of nail fungus five years ago by the Food and Drug Administration, the special appeal of lasers is that it selectively heats and destroys harmful fungi while sparing healthy surrounding skin. Because of the intensity of the heat generated by laser rays, Enrique Mechulon a specially trained and certified laser technician working with Dr. Adler, says that both he and the patient wear laser protective glasses and take several rest periods during the 40-minute process.

“I have already witnessed many suc-

cess stories where patients have spent years and thousands of dollars to get rid of their nail fungus,” says Mechulon.

“Depending on the patient’s general health and nail problem, it can take anywhere from one to nine treatments, but the results are there with minimum risk to the body,” he adds.

“I wanted to offer this therapy for quite a while,” says Dr. Adler. “However, I am cautious in my approach, and I needed more proof on studies and reports.” Dr. Adler adds that research shows that 80% of all toe fungus has been healed using laser therapy. “This is in contrast to topical ointments that only work 50% of the time,” says Adler, “and with topical treatment, the infection usually returns.”

Dr. Charlton Adler is certified by three prestigious Boards: the American Board of Podiatric Surgery, the American Board of Podiatric Orthopedics and Primary Podiatric Medicine, and he is a Certified Wound Care Specialist. His main office is located at 1380 NE Miami Gardens Drive, Suite 235 North Miami Beach, FL 33179. Staff is bilingual Spanish.

Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami Beach, Florida continues to provide the best heart attack care and survival in Miami-Dade County according to recent rankings from Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and the American Heart Association.

Mount Sinai ranks No. 1 in Miami-Dade County in heart attack survival rate according to the most recent data released by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Hospital Compare, which compared data from over 4,000 hospitals across the country, including 181 hospitals throughout the state of Florida.

The high heart attack survival rate is a result of the partnership between

Your First Visit For Pain Management, Addiction or Weight Loss Treatments

Mount Sinai and the City of Miami Beach. Through a collaborative effort that includes the city’s Public Safety Communications Unit (911 Center), Fire Rescue and well-trained paramedics, who provide pre-hospital care, there exists a seamless, highly organized system of care for heart attack patients from the moment they call 911, to the time they are brought to the Mount Sinai emergency room and, ultimately, reach the cardiac catheterization lab to open the coronary artery. “As the only hospital and emergency room in Miami Beach, we are a vital part of the safety net of our community,” says Steve Sonenreich, Mount Sinai President and CEO. “At our Harvey R. Chaplin Family Stroke and Chest Pain Center, we are able to treat heart attacks quickly and efficiently utilizing a high reliability organization model in which every person, from receptionist to interventionist, is trained and ready to deliver prompt, lifesaving care.”

Mount Sinai also received the Mission: Lifeline® Silver Receiving Quality Achievement Award for implementing

specific quality improvement measures outlined by the American Heart Association for the treatment of patients who suffer severe heart attacks.

Mount Sinai is one of two hospitals in South Florida – and the only one in Miami-Dade County – to be awarded this achievement for heart attack care as a receiving ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) center.

Every year, more than 250,000 people experience a STEMI heart attack, (the most deadly type of heart attack caused by a blockage of blood flow to the heart that requires timely treatment. To prevent death, it’s critical to restore blood flow as quickly as possible, either by mechanically opening the blocked vessel or by providing clot-busting medication.

Mount Sinai earned the award by meeting specific criteria and standards of performance for the quick and appropriate treatment of STEMI patients by providing emergency procedures to re-establish blood flow to blocked arteries when needed.

The national goal in heart attack treatment to

restore blood flow to the heart is less than 120 minutes from the moment an ambulance picks up the patient, and 90 minutes from arriving at the hospital. Mount Sinai, in conjunction Miami Beach Fire Rescue, have surpassed both goals by being able to restore blood flow within 90 minutes from the field, and 60 minutes upon hospital arrival, respectively.

“Anyone who suspects they are having a heart attack should call 911 immediately,” says Dr. David Farcy, Chairman of Mount Sinai’s Emergency Medicine Department.

“Heart attack diagnosis and treatment can begin before you even reach the hospital, and it’s a very effective way to reduce the time it takes to get you the treatment you need.”

If you suspect that you or someone you know may be having a heart attack, DO NOT DELAY. Calling 911 for immediate treatment of a heart attack can help lessen the amount of damage to the heart and, ultimately, save a life.
