These terms are used interchangeably in the derma world. You can find tons of online resources and businesses like Vera Clinic for more information about hair transplant so you can choose your best option. In this article, you'll know a little bit more about hair plugs and hair transplant and the indications for each procedure. Hair Plugs Vs Hair Transplant Both hair transplant and hair plugs mean extraction and transfer of hair from one area of the body (donor site) to the affected site (recipient site). However, with technological and medical advancements, the term 'hair plugs' are now outdated and it's rarely used by derma surgeons today because of the negative connotation associated with it. Hair transplant is a more acceptable term referring to this procedure. What is Hair Plug Transplantation? Hair plugs became popular in the 1980s. Hair plugs are invasive, which involves extracting selected large portions of hair from the donor site. This procedure results in open patchy areas, and the recipient site looks very defined. It defeats the purpose of undergoing the procedure because it’s supposed to look natural. The healing process can be a nightmare, so many derma surgeons discontinued practicing hair plug transplantation. Who Gets Hair Plugs? Nobody. Hair plugs are considered an outdated term. It’s a type of hair transplant that’s fairly barbaric, and the results are unsightly and unnatural, seemingly like the appearance of a doll's hair. Why should you consider a procedure involving using a 'punching tool' for removing tiny patches of tissues containing about twenty hairs from the back of your head? Also, the transplanted hair grows bunched together and spaced unnaturally apart. The transplanted hairs don't blend with the remaining hair. In the end, you'll have to deal with circular scars left on the donor site, which is another issue. Because of the unwanted results of hair plugs, surgeons have developed new techniques and refined hair transplantation. The results are now more natural looking hair with proper direction and spacing of growth. With the newer types of hair transplants, transplanted hairs blend seamlessly with the remaining hair. Similar to permanent dentures for natural looking teeth, even a hairdresser can't tell the difference sometimes! What Is Modern Hair Transplant? Modern hair transplants are less-invasive and a much more progressive option. The two types of modern hair transplants include the Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) and the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). FUT is slightly more invasive than FUE which involves the removal of large chunks of follicular hair units all at once, and smaller portions are used. In FUE, the surgeon carefully extracts the hair strands from the head and relocates them to the recipient site. This procedure is time-consuming because it’s very intricate, but it provides the best results. FUE is more expensive but less invasive. It doesn’t leave a scar. Who Gets A Hair Transplant? Not all who have alopecia or a baldness problem, either partial or total baldness, can undergo a hair transplant. The surgeon will take your full hair history to determine if you’re a good candidate for the procedure. Certain types of hair loss, such as hair loss caused by chemotherapy or other treatment or medication, scarring alopecia, and hair loss caused by lupus and other chronic conditions, make an individual not an ideal candidate for hair transplant. Unlike the known hair plugs used in the past, hair transplants today, like FUE, use a specialized cutting machine. Through fine blades, the surgeon can create small sites under local anesthesia, and the hair follicles are inserted in these sites. In a FUT procedure, the surgeon removes a trip of hair from the sides or the back of your head where the hair remains. The surgeon divides the follicles into small or individual groups under a microscope and inserts them into the bald patches. With FUT, the surgeon can harvest thousands of hair follicles and move them in the recipient site, and the scar is hidden under the remaining hair. Conclusion You’ve just learned that a hair plug is a particular type of hair implant. While you might still hear the term hair plugs today, it would generally refer to modern hair transplantation wherein the procedures are less invasive with more natural looking hair. Gone are the days when 'plug tools' are used. The advancements in technology offer specialized tools and equipment, making hair transplant patient-friendly.

Teeth are very important organs of our body, and we often underestimate the dangers and risks of oral infections. It is important to understand that any infection in any part of an organ doesn’t just remain there – it can be transferred through our blood to other parts of our body. Let’s see how our dental health is connected with our weight. Dental Diseases and the Gastrointestinal Tract A gastrointestinal tract starts with the mouth cavity. This is where the food gets grated and undergoes disinfection by our saliva (this is how lysozyme in the saliva work). For everything to be done properly, the food must be well chewed, which is impossible to do if your teeth hurt. Good chewing is especially important for products containing important nutrients for our health. They are more difficult to chew and require significant effort from the teeth and jaw to do this properly. If not chewed properly, unprocessed food travels to our stomach and can cause gastritis or even a stomach ulcer. If our tooth hurts, it is very uncomfortable to chew on that side of the jaw. This is why people with dental problems usually chew their food on the side that doesn’t hurt. What does this mean? Double strain for your healthy teeth. Of course, constantly working like this, they won’t stay healthy for long. How Does Weight Gain Begin And this is where the weight problem begins. A patient tries to eat things that won’t bring as much discomfort. Ideally, this would be healthy grated or mashed food. But unfortunately, more often, people choose the easiest way – fast carbohydrates loaded with calories. These include dough, sauces, rice, and sweets. Eating food rich in carbohydrates requires regular physical exercises to stay in shape. Many people disregard this fact, and as a result, they start gaining weight. This can lead to developing obesity, which is very harmful to the entire body and makes dental problems worse too. Loss of teeth or their aesthetic look can be a stress factor by itself. Many people become self-conscious about their appearance and feel down about it. This provokes a wish to indulge themselves with something to stop the sad thoughts, and very often it turns to a stress-eating habit. The Connection Between Weight and Dental Hygiene Cleaning your teeth can tame your hunger. Most toothpastes contain mint that can cause an oppressing action over the taste buds. If you are struggling with a habit of overeating, try to brush your teeth whenever you want to eat something over your normal daily menu. In a short while, your hunger will be suppressed. You will hit two birds with one stone –help yourself with weight loss and take extra care of your oral health.

As invaluable as the work of a good dentist is, sometimes it is just too costly. An all-on-4 implants system is the perfect example of this. A lot of people in the US and Canada are flustered by the rising out-of-pocket costs of dental care. Getting the affordable all-on-4 Molar City has to offer is an excellent solution. Let us take a closer look at how much this treatment costs in the Mexican border town Los Algodones, also known as Molar City. Save Fifteen Thousand Dollars The average cost of an all-on-4 in the US and Canada is USD $25,000 and CAD $33,400 respectively. In Molar City the all-on-four costs only around USD $10,000 / CAD $14,000. The best part is that the lower prices do not come at the cost of lower quality. The main reason for the lower prices is Mexico’s lower operating costs. Moreover, the red tape that plagues businesses in the US and Canada and drives up their costs is not an issues in Mexico. This translates into the much more affordable all-on-4 Molar City offers you, without compromising on quality. As more people are discovering the actual reasons behind the price difference, the myth that dental tourism is risky continues to fade.   The Discount is Worth it if You Find the Right Clinic The closest thing to a catch is that you find a good clinic. With 300 clinics and almost a thousand dentists in Molar City, you have plenty of options. Quality clinics such as Alberta Dental and Sani Dental Group provide not only the all-on-4 prices but excellent dental work. From the quality of the implants to the care and proficiency with which the treatment is executed, everything is on the level. Perhaps this is understandable considering this is the only way these clinics can continue to get good business. Word of mouth can make or break clinics in this industry. Clinics like the ones mentioned above work hard to deliver the best all-on-4 and other dental procedures to maintain their reputation. Alberta is a specialist in dental implants with over five years of experience while Castle is another leading clinic with almost a decade of experience.   Make the Most of All-on-4s, for Less The first successful all-on-4 procedure was done in 1998. Countless people have benefited from this effective technique since then. You can get the implants in a single day, with only four implants needed to revamp an entire arch of teeth. Just remember that like all implant procedures you will need to revisit the dentist after four to six months after the implants have infused with the bone. The dentist will add the permanent restorations on the second visit. The price difference will more than cover the travel and accommodation costs. Molar City is just ten miles from Yuma Arizona. You may not even have to stay overnight. If you are traveling from a farther state or Canada and have to stay in Arizona, you will save money even after factoring in the flight tickets and hotel costs. Think of the all-on-4 Molar City offers as an excuse to enjoy small getaway while getting beautiful new teeth.

Everybody knows that acne is mostly a hormonal problem. This is why it is absolutely normal when you are in your puberty age since that’s when your whole hormonal system is rebuilt. It will take time for all the hormones to get into their normal balance. When it happens, everything returns to norm and acne disappears. If it doesn’t, there are always other reasons for this. The location is also important. Perhaps the very thought that it can be connected with your teeth is quite unexpected. Still, if you have a constant problem with pimples appearing on your chin regularly (especially if they are cystic), maybe you should check up the state of your oral health. How are They Connected with Oral Diseases? When you have problems with your teeth, it is not only problems with teeth. It is a problem of your entire body. Our organs are not isolated structures functioning independently from each other. All of them are parts of a big machine called the human body. A problem in one part inevitably causes problems in others. Let’s see how it may affect your skin. Food gets into the mouth where it is thoroughly processed by our teeth and then through the esophagus right into the stomach, already grated and salivated. What happens if the teeth are not healthy? The patient is unable to process the food properly. If unprocessed food gets to the stomach for the digestion (poorly grated and salivated), the mucous surface of the stomach will suffer while digesting it. This can develop into gastritis or stomach ulcer. The gastrointestinal diseases one of the main internal factors affecting our skin so pimples here are the symptom of a systemic GI disorder. Let’s also not forget that we can’t have infection strictly located elsewhere. If there is an infection in the mouth, it can travel around with blood and spread further. Areas most at risk of getting the infection from our teeth are those closest to them –chin, temples, maxillary sinus, and lymph nodes. Of course, there are also many other reasons why pimples on your chin can occur. If this problem appears regularly, a full body diagnostic is necessary. A visit to the dentist must be an obligatory part in this program. If the dental problems are treated, it is very possible that your acne problem will disappear as well. If not – continue looking for a reason, and you will find it.

There are several periods and cases when a woman’s oral cavity is especially vulnerable to dental diseases. Most of them are natural hormonal fluctuations that occur regularly in a woman’s life but not all of them. Puberty age When a girls starts turning into a woman, the production of female hormones in her body increases sharply. This may cause a boost of the gums’ blood supply. In addition, the reaction of the gums on oral bacteria can change during this period. A teenage girl’s gums can be reddened, painful, and swollen. In addition, they may easily bleed when flossing. Menstruations Some women may notice changes in their mouths during their menstrual period. The change of the hormonal balance can make their gums red and swollen. The salivary glands swell, gums start bleeding and even the canker sores can appear. This condition is called “menstrual gingivitis”. It occurs a couple of days before menstruation and passes when it starts. Oral birth control pills Your dentist should always be aware about any oral contraceptives. They contain progesterone that may affect your gums in an unwanted way. Under the influence of increased progesterone, periodontal tissues can get inflamed because of an increased sensitivity to the oral bacteria. Pregnancy Gingivitis is a very widely spread disease in pregnant women. Hormonal changes together with a weakened immunity make a pregnant woman’s gums more vulnerable to traumas, infections, and damage. To reduce these risks, special attention to oral hygiene is recommended. Menopause This period is special for the oral health because of change of tastes and their perception. An increased sensitivity towards the temperature of food may occur as part of it. In addition, reduced salivation is also not good for oral health; it provokes the development of periodontitis. Bone loss due to reduced estrogen levels can lead to tooth loss. Medications There are certain medications that cause dryness in the mouth. The saliva moisturizes the oral cavity and helps neutralize harmful acids produced by oral bacteria. Without enough saliva, all these processes suffer. This especially affects the elderly people. Hormonal diseases If a woman has any gynecological problems that are hormonally related, she needs to control her oral health and hygiene more attentively. The treatment of PCOS, uterine fibroids treatment or others, should take into account possible problems with oral health, if any. Stay healthy and keep your teeth clean!

Step 1: Not just a toothbrush: Dental floss and mouthwash Good oral hygiene is a basis that we don't need to remind you of. Cleaning your teeth at least in the morning and evening (after eating) should last 2-3 minutes. The most thorough cleaning is provided by an electric toothbrush, and if you decide to use a manual toothbrush, it should have medium to soft bristles. Dental floss and mouthwash should also be used. Step 2: Healthy gums: To avoid bleeding Healthy teeth are also healthy gums. Unfortunately, we do not always remember this. Negligence can result in gum pain and bleeding. Improper gum hygiene leads to inflammation, which requires the intervention of a dentist. Deposited plaque builds up as stone and this leads to the destruction of periodontal tissue and bleeding of the gums (e.g. while eating or brushing). Step 3: Teeth correction Nowadays orthodontics has developed significantly, and the market offers many methods to correct teeth. Traditional permanent braces are no longer the only available option for straightening teeth. Splints like Clear Aligner have appeared on the market relatively recently. Despite this, they are winning over a growing group of satisfied patients. Mainly because they are almost invisible to others. According to specialists from SmileMeUp, the great advantage of overlays is the ability to remove them when eating, cleaning teeth or important occasions. Traditional permanent orthodontic braces, unfortunately, do not allow for this type of activities. Apart from that, an unquestionable advantage of transparent aligners is their precise fit and the possibility of their regular, independent change at home. Thanks to this, the treatment is extremely fast and also does not require frequent visits to the orthodontist. Striving for a beautiful smile does not involve additional time and money. What is important, clear results of straightening teeth are visible after just few months! Step 4: Teeth whitening? Not for everyone Even if you have healthy teeth, don't forget to visit your dentist regularly - preferably once every six months. We should also remember about regular tartar removal. A good dentist should also provide us with good advice. If you decide to whiten your teeth, it is important that you talk to a dentist who will find out which method is the best and present any contraindications.

But how do you truly know that it’s time to see a qualified orthodontist in Colorado Springs? Well, generally speaking, if you have any questions about tooth alignment or the function and overall health of your bite, an orthodontist is the best dental expert to consult.  Even though this may be obvious in most cases where, naturally, the teeth are misaligned or don’t sit properly together when the mouth is closed – in other cases, there could be a problem that may seem subtle at first glance but could be something serious. For instance, conditions like the inability to properly close your lips, too many teeth grinding or clenching, mouth breathing or the jaws shifting position on their own, indicate a problem which needs urgent attention. Orthodontic Treatment for Children The guidelines outlined above are somewhat generic in nature – as it turns out when it comes to orthodontic problems in children, there’s more to consider. Experts recommend that children undergo a mandatory orthodontic examination by the age of 7 because, at this tender age, the back bite starts to take shape. If there are any development problems, they can be identified early on. This allows the orthodontist to decide on the best time for treatment, even if it means administering it a few years ahead. Furthermore, certain dental treatments in children are most effective when they are administered early on. For instance, orthodontic problems like crowding or crossbite require the use of a palatal expander to widen the upper jaw, so that there’s more room for the teeth to lock down comfortably when the mouth is closed. If dealt with early, a condition like this can have you avoid costly dental surgery on your child later on in life. Orthodontic Treatment for Adults Aside from some of the issues detailed above, if you’re generally not happy with your smile as an adult, or say, how your jaws sit together when you close your mouth, orthodontic treatment can drastically help. Thanks largely to technological advancements coupled with the services of an experienced orthodontist in Colorado Springs, getting a brand new smile is easy, quick and convenient. Getting that smile to look just right isn’t anywhere near as cumbersome as it used to be. The clunky and oversized metal braces of past have been replaced with slim, comfortable and aesthetically appealing braces. Tooth alignment alternatives like Invisalign have revolutionized the way teeth can be straightened to enhance your smile. Expert Orthodontist in Colorado Springs Even though orthodontic treatments can provide a range of health and dental function benefits, the true long-term benefits include not just having a fuller, more beautiful smile but also added confidence, self-esteem and happiness. Get in touch with your Colorado Springs orthodontist today to improve the quality of your life in remarkable ways. 

In osteoporosis, the bone tissue deteriorates, leading to low bone mass. While a bone density test can detect a low bone mass, it cannot assess the quality of the bone. For anyone who has suffered a fracture from a standing height after age 40, it tells us that the bone quality has been impacted. It is not normal to fall from a standing height or fall off a chair, for example, and break a wrist. In Canada, 1 in 4 women are at risk for fracture and have a diagnosis of osteoporosis. At least 80% of fractures in people over the age of 60 are related to osteoporosis. When it comes to hip fractures, 90% are due to an underlying diagnosis of osteoporosis. The most common sites of osteoporosis-related fractures include the hip, spine, and wrist. Among the leading risk factors for fracture are: age a previous fragility fracture a family history of osteoporosis and osteoporotic fractures. smoking treatment with glucocorticoid medications. The impact of fracture affects both illness and even death. After a hip fracture, there is a 20% overall chance of dying. Women have an even higher risk of death: one in four women who suffer a hip fracture will die of complications due to that fracture. Of those who survive after a hip fracture, about 50% will suffer from some kind of disability. The lifetime risk of hip fracture for a woman is greater than the risk of developing breast cancer. Although there are effective treatments for osteoporosis, one of the concerns is the ability to adhere to the medication given. Studies show that many patients fail to take their medication consistently. Treatments available to women for osteoporosis include: hormone therapy (primary indication for use is vasomotor instability), selective estrogen modulators such as raloxifene bisphosphonates such as zoledronic acid, alendronate, and risedronate anabolic steroids such as parathyroid hormone and calcitonin. These vary by their route of administration and side effects. While some medications are taken by mouth daily, others are taken once a week, once a month, by daily injection or by once a year infusion. Calcium and vitamin D are essential for all. This week, a new class of medication has been released for treatment of postmenopausal women with osteoporosis who are at high risk for fracture. The medication, denosumab,  is an entirely new class of medication called a RANK Ligand inhibitor. What that means is that the medication specifically targets the cells that break down bone, called osteoclasts, by binding to their receptor called RANK. As a result, by turning off the osteoclast, it allows bone mass, and therefore bone strength, to increase. Denosumab is an injectable medication given under the skin, subcutaneously, every six months. As a result, it is another opportunity to increase the ability of a patient to stay on the medications consistently and treat osteoporosis. Know your risk for osteoporosis and be proactive about your bone health by attending to your diet, calcium and vitamin D intake as well as a bone-strengthening exercise.
