  People all over America enjoy some of the best dental care in the world. We enjoy the expertise of 201,927 actively practicing dentists in the US.Many of us create long-term, family-wide relationships with our trusted dentists and have enjoyed some new technologies along the way. We are all beginning to hear about innovations in dentistry and discoveries about the relationship of dental health to overall well-being.What if we thought about dental health as the foundation for physical health?WebMD notes that “up to 91 percent of patients with heart disease have periodontitis, compared to 66 percent of people with no heart disease. The two conditions have several risk factors, such as smoking, an unhealthy diet, and excess weight. And some suspect that periodontitis has a direct role in raising the risk for heart disease.”These new ideas and evidence-based innovations are bubbling up all over the country, and we call this biologic dentistry. That can mean many things, so we need to sort out the evidence-based innovations from the hopeful theories. __________________________American Dental Association, Health Policy Institute, https://www.ada.org/resources/research/health-policy-institute/dentist-workforce#:~:text=Dentist%20workforce%20FAQs,dentists%20per%20100%2C000%20U.S.%20population, accessed July 27, 2022.Joanne Barker, WEB MD, Oral Health: The Mouth-Body Connection, https://www.webmd.com/oral-health/features/oral-health-the-mouth-body-connection, Accessed July 27, 2022.These new ideas and evidence-based innovations are bubbling up all over the country, and we call this biologic dentistry. That can mean many things, so we need to sort out the evidence-based innovations from the hopeful theories.One of America’s top champions of biologic dentistry is Dr. Robert Herzog, a general dentist with twenty-five years of experience practicing in Albany, NY. As a trained and gifted engineer who later completed training as a general dentist, Dr. Herzog has made a passion out of sorting out the best innovative new processes and tools.He wants to educate people on what they should know but perhaps don't know yet.Dr. Herzog’s new book Biologic Dentistry and a Better You constructs a well-engineered bridge you can safely traverse to a place to better look at the marvels of holistic dentistry. You can stop and absorb the original new ideas rushing to meet you. You can move closer to your horizon and consider some carefully curated holistic ideas about biologic dentistry and its impact on your total health.Dr. Herzog offers a fascinating view of the mouth-body connection and the danger most of us face with mercury amalgam fillings. Many of us have different and dissimilar metals in our mouths, which can create microcurrents and, consequently, brain fog.He champions cleaner methods, safer extractions, 3D x-ray CT imaging, ozone and lasers, solutions for jaw disorders, better breathing and sleep, the lymphatic system, retaining wisdom teeth, and discusses newly revealed dangers of root canals.Biologic Dentistry and a Better You helps us visualize our family’s dental health from a new perspective. It’s not just about teeth anymore. Medical science now embraces the electrifying realization that the body is deeply interconnected. When something isn’t right, it often shows up in the mouth. "

  Dermatology - Skin Diseases and...

  Dermatology is a specialized branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of skin, hair, and nail disorders. It plays a crucial role in maintaining overall health, as the skin is the body’s largest organ and serves as a protective barrier against environmental factors. Dermatologists are trained to treat a wide variety of conditions, ranging from common skin issues like acne and eczema to life-threatening diseases such as melanoma. 
  The importance of skin health cannot be overstated. Skin diseases can affect an individual’s quality of life, often causing physical discomfort, emotional distress, and social stigma. Early detection and treatment are vital to prevent complications and improve outcomes. Dermatology is not only about managing diseases but also about enhancing cosmetic appearance and improving skin function, contributing to patients' self-esteem and overall well-being. 
  Skin functions as the first line of defense against external factors such as bacteria, viruses, pollutants, and harmful UV radiation. It also plays a role in regulating body temperature, preventing dehydration, and producing vitamin D. Understanding the skin’s structure and functions is fundamental to diagnosing and treating dermatologic conditions. The skin is composed of three primary layers: the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue. The epidermis serves as the outermost layer, providing a waterproof barrier and containing melanocytes responsible for skin pigmentation. Beneath it lies the dermis, which houses blood vessels, hair follicles, sweat glands, and nerve endings, playing a crucial role in sensation and temperature regulation. The deepest layer, the subcutaneous tissue, contains fat and connective tissue that insulate and protect internal organs.
