MEDICINE FOR SLEEPING DISORDERS- Drugs to Treat Insomnia

In some cases, doctors will prescribe drugs for the treatment of insomnia. All insomnia medications should be taken shortly before bed. Do not attempt to drive or perform other activities that require concentration after taking an insomnia drug because it will make you sleepy. Medications should be used in combination with good sleep practices.

Listed below are some drugs that can be used to treat insomnia.

• Ambien (zolpidem): The original version of Ambien works well at helping you get to sleep, but some people tended to wake up in the middle of the night. Ambien CR is an extended release version. It helps you get to sleep within 15 to 30 minutes, and the new extended release portion helps you stay asleep. You should not take Ambien or Ambien CR unless you are able to get a full night's sleep -- at least 7 to 8 hours. The FDA has approved a prescription oral spray called Zolpimist, which contains Ambien's active ingredient, for the short-term treatment of insomnia brought on by difficulty falling asleep. The FDA requires that these drugs are offered in lower doses for women. Women clear the drugs from their systems more slowly than men and the agency says blood levels of the drugs could still be high enough the following morning to affect activities that require alertness, such as driving. The FDA says doctors should consider the lower dose for men too.
• Lunesta (eszopiclone): Lunesta also helps you fall asleep quickly, and studies show people sleep an average of seven to eight hours. Don't take Lunesta unless you are able to get a full night's sleep as it could cause grogginess.
• Rozerem (ramelteon): This is a sleep medication that works differently than the others. It works by targeting the sleep-wake cycle, not by depressing the central nervous system. It is prescribed for people who have difficulty falling asleep. Rozerem can be prescribed for long-term use and the drug has shown no evidence of abuse and dependence.
• Sonata (zaleplon): Of all the new sleeping pills, Sonata stays active in the body for the shortest amount of time. That means you can try to fall asleep on your own. Then, if you're still staring at the clock at 2 a.m., you can take it without feeling drowsy in the morning. However, if you tend to wake during the night, this might not be the best choice for you.
• Silenor (doxepine): In 2010, this  sleep drug was approved for use in people who have trouble staying asleep. Silenor may help with sleep maintenance by blocking histamine receptors. Do not take this drug unless you are able to get a full seven or eight hours of sleep. Dosage is based on your health, age, and response to therapy.
• Benzodiazepines: These older sleeping pills (Halcion, Restoril, Xanax, and others) are useful when you want an insomnia medication that stays in the system longer. For instance, they have been effectively used to treat sleep problems such as sleepwalking and night terrors. However, these drugs may cause you to feel sleepy during the day and can also cause dependence, meaning you may always need to be on the drug to be able to sleep.
• Antidepressants : Some antidepressant drugs, such as Desyrel ( trazodone ) and Remeron (mirtazapine) are particularly effective in treating sleeplessness and anxiety. 
• Over-the-Counter Sleep Aids: Most of these sleeping pills are antihistamines. They generally work well but can cause some drowsiness the next day. They're safe enough to be sold without a prescription. However, if you're taking other drugs that also contain antihistamines -- like cold or allergy medications -- you could inadvertently take too much.

Why sex is the best medicine

 As Jane Fonda, 71, reveals it’s her secret anti-ageing weapon – despite an artificial knee and hip – here’s why sex really is the best medicine of all.

WHY SEX MAKES YOU…
LIVE LONGER
Keep your heart healthy
Lots of studies have found that far from bringing on a heart attack, regular sex can actually ward them off. One study at Queens University in Belfast found that having sex three times a week could halve your risk of heart attack or stroke.
Strengthen your immune system
Having sex once or twice a week has been found to raise your body’s levels of an antibody called immunoglobulin A or IgA, which can protect you from viral and bacterial infections. According to one study, people who have sex more than once a week had 30% higher levels of IgA than those who abstained.
Fights disease
During sex, the natural steroid DHEA is secreted throughout the body and after an orgasm the level in the bloodstream soars to five times its normal amount. Known as the anti-ageing hormone, high levels of DHEA are thought to keep your body fitter and disease-free, helping you to live longer.
It can cut your risk of dying young
An Australian study found that people who had an orgasm at least three times a week had a 50% lower chance of dying from any medical reason than those who only climaxed once a month.
LOOK YOUNGER
Knock off 10 years
Couples who have sex at least three times a week look more than a decade younger than people who make love less
often, according to consultant neuro-psychologist, Dr David Weeks, who did a 10-year study on the subject.
Shift middle-aged spread
Thirty minutes of sex burns up to 150 calories per half-hour, which is equivalent to a small glass of wine. If you have moderately active sex twice a week, you’ll burn an extra 15,600 calories a year!
It makes you more attractive
High sexual activity makes the body release more pheromones, chemicals that enhance your appeal to the opposite sex. This is why the more sex you have with your partner, the stronger your desire to have sex with them again.
Lose your wrinkles
The hormone oestrogen is pumped out during sex, which can have a plumping effect on skin, helping to smooth out fine lines. After the menopause skin can become drier and more wrinkled, as oestrogen levels drop – something research shows regular sex might combat.
Get a youthful glow
Because sex is an aerobic form of exercise it promotes skin renewal, according to research at Royal Edinburgh Hospital. It found that vigorous sex pumps higher levels of oxygen around the body, pushing newer, fresher skin cells up to the surface.
FEEL HAPPIER
Boost self-esteem
Higher levels of confidence and feeling good about their bodies was one of the most important benefits noted by people having regular sex, in a recent survey by the University of Texas researchers.
Ease depression
Like any exercise that raises your heart rate, sex causes your brain to release feel-good chemicals that boost your levels of serotonin – the happy hormone – to lift your mood. Being intimate has also been found to ease mild depression.
  
Reduce pain
Sex causes a surge in the “love” hormone oxytocin and other feel-good endorphins, which can reduce pain. Women have reported noticing that headaches, arthritis pain, or PMS symptoms seem to improve after sex.
Help you sleep better
The oxytocin released during orgasm has another benefit – it promotes sleep, according to research. And getting enough sleep has been linked with a host of other good things, such as feeling happier, maintaining a healthy weight and controlling high blood pressure.
Relieve stress
In a study published in Psychology Journal, researchers found that people who’d had sex in the past 24 hours coped better with stressful scenarios than those who had not.
How do you keep YOUR sex life alive?
/ Retirees Vivienne and Robert Wilson, both 67, from Newcastle. Vivienne said: “We can’t complain about our sex life but it depends on your lifestyle. Enjoy yourself and each other. Try different things and be spontaneous.”
/ Christine Griffith, 74, from Plymouth, said: “Sex is important, just as important as anything else, even at my age. If you have a good partner it’s fantastic. It can’t just be on its own though, it needs to be part of a good, loving relationship.”
/ Partners Jean Anderson, 54, from Newcastle, and Alan Broadhurst, 59, from Cheshire. Jean said: “Older people shouldn’t need any tips for a good sex life – they should know how to do it by now! You’ve just got to make it special – not just roll on, roll off.”
/ Marion and William Lewins, both 59, from Gateshead. Marion said: “You’ve got to have a bit of passion. You’ve got to enjoy each other as much as when you were younger... though probably not as often!”
/ Gran-of-two Ivy Costello, 68, from Plymouth, said intimacy was more valuable than sex at her age. “A loving relationship is more important than your sex life. In the overall scheme of things you begin to look on sex as a nice bonus, not an essential part of life."
/ Married Anne Bell, 65, of County Durham, said: “Sex is great for your fitness and the passion keeps your mind young, too. You have to make an effort to have sex – it keeps you close and is good for your relationship.”
/ Dorothy Watson, 78, from Newcastle, said: “A healthy sex life is important –  I think that’s what has kept my marriage fresh for nearly 60 years. You have to try different things and make each other feel special.”

TOP 10 DRUGS FOR PAIN RELIEF

Pain alarms the body to the presence of injury, inflammation and infection. However, pain can prove physically and psychologically distressing and can significantly interfere with the activities of daily living. Analgesic medications relieve pain and alleviate the associated distress. A wide array of non-narcotic and narcotic analgesics is available with differing potencies to treat differing severities of pain.

Aspirin

Aspirin, the most common and widely used pain reliever; inhibits the formation of prostaglandins thereby reducing pain and inflammation. Prostaglandins are chemicals produced by the body in areas of injury and inflammation; they have many actions including triggering the pain response. Aspirin effectively relieves low to moderate intensity pain.

Acetaminophen

Acetaminophen, like aspirin reduces pain by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis. However, it does not have anti-inflammatory properties. People commonly take acetaminophen for mild pain. Doctors prescribe combination formulations of acetaminophen and a narcotic pain reliever for the treatment of more intense pain.

Ibuprofen

Ibuprofen; part of the group of drugs called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or NSAIDs; reduces pain and inflammation by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis. Ibuprofen is available over-the-counter and in high doses by prescription. Your healthcare provider may prescribe a combination formulation of ibuprofen with a narcotic pain reliever for moderate to severe pain.

Celecoxib

Celecoxib is a prescription pain reliever in the NSAID group of medicines. It reduces pain and inflammation by inhibiting the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme, which assists in prostaglandin synthesis. Doctors most commonly prescribe celecoxib for relief of the pain and inflammation of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and other arthritic conditions.

Codeine

A narcotic pain reliever, codeine acts in the brain mimicking the pain-relieving actions of naturally occurring analgesic molecules called endorphins and enkephalins. Physicians prescribe codeine either alone or in combination with the non-narcotic pain reliever acetaminophen in prescription medications for the relief of mild to moderately severe pain.

Propoxyphene

A man-made narcotic; propoxyphene has a structure resembles methadone, although it proves less potent and addictive. Propoxyphene is available by prescription for the treatment of mild to moderate pain.

Hydrocodone

Hydrocodone is a more potent synthetic derivative of the narcotic pain reliever codeine. It is available in differing doses in combination with acetaminophen for the treatment of moderate to moderately severe pain.

Oxycodone

A strong narcotic pain reliever; oxycodone is roughly 10 to 12 times more potent than codeine and on par with morphine in terms of its strength and actions in the brain. This prescription drug is available in immediate and extended release formulations of differing strengths for the relief of moderate to severe pain.

Fentanyl

Fentanyl is a potent, man-made narcotic pain reliever, and a rapid-acting prescription narcotic. Doctors administer fentanyl either orally, intravenously or transdermally (through a skin patch). Fentanyl commonly treats severe, chronic pain such as that experienced by people with cancer. Doctors may prescribe fentanyl in combination with other pain relieving medicines.

Morphine

Morphine is a powerful narcotic pain reliever. The drug acts in the brain to relieve pain in a dose-dependent fashion. Morphine administration is by mouth, intravenously, intramuscularly or as rectal suppositories. It comes in immediate and extended release formulations, available only by prescription. Respiratory depression caused by morphine limits dosing; overdosage may cause respiratory arrest. Doctors typically reserve morphine for the treatment of severe pain.

About Martin

I am the manager of a software support and development team within a large American software company. Half of my team (including my boss and her boss) are based in various places in the US and the other half are in India. Although we have offices in Reading, I tend to work from home most of the time as it’s easier for the late nights.
I spend a lot of time sat at a computer or on the phone (or both), so it’s a pretty sedentary occupation.
When I go to visit my US colleagues I have to deal with the temptations of hotel food and American portions in restaurants as well as a bar bill that I can just charge to the company.

Martin Before:
June 2005
"I was at or around my heaviest point here. What you can’t see is my large belly."

Weight Loss History

I lost a lot of weight on the nicotine diet about 13 years ago. That basically involved replacing most foodstuffs with a cigarette. Quite an attractive diet as it didn’t involve giving up anything like alcohol or getting involved in exercise. But, I suspect it’s not a viable long term approach.
When I was diagnosed with high blood pressure, I started to follow a book called the K-Factor diet. This is a dietary and life style approach to tackling hypertension with the emphasis on low sodium, fresh fruit and vegetables and avoidance of alcohol, saturated fats and pre-prepared foods. This is combined with exercise and food logs. This approach led to my latest weight loss.

Martin Before:
June 2004
"Now this on the other hand, taken a year earlier showed the state I had got myself into."

How being overweight has affected you…

I felt horrible being fat. Although a lot of people would say “I don’t really see you as fat”, I knew in myself that I needed to lose weight and for a long time I was depressed that I couldn’t see a way of doing it. Buying new clothes was a chore because I was too big for the clothes I wanted and faced a future of premature age in Marks and Spencer's. I was also worrying about my health, occasionally I would get worrying pains in my chest (which, being a man, I tried to ignore).
My great love as a hobby is scuba diving and that became harder as I struggled more to fit into wetsuits and needed to carry more and more lead in order to get down (because bodyfat is buoyant, divers have to carry weights in order to sink).
With holidays and meetings in the US, I have to travel quite a lot for work and that became increasingly uncomfortable dealing with narrow economy or charter seats.

Motivation to Lose Weight

After an uncomfortable appointment with the doctor, I was told that it was going to have to be diet and exercise or drugs to combat my (very) high blood pressure. At that point, I realised that ignoring the situation wasn’t an option and I was determined that drugs weren’t going to be an option either. I gradually came to the conclusion that, for whatever reason, I was disabling myself. What I needed to do was enable myself instead.
I want to be fitter for its own sake. I want to be able to buy clothes from any shop I want without having to worry about the size. I want to be the person on the dive boat who needs the smallest amount of weight. I want to be proud of who I am and how I look. And I want to be able to run further and faster.

Martin During:
May 2006:
"I weighed about 89k, so getting there."

How Weight Loss Resources Helps

I came across the site when I was trying to find the amount of calories in something. This led me into discovering that what I thought was a low calorie diet was actually reasonably high and that was why I had plateaued. The idea of a more informed calorie counting instead of the rough and ready approach I had used to date was attractive.

The Best of Weight Loss Resources

I use the food and exercise log daily and usually visit the runners’ forum more than once a day. I read the special reports if something catches my eye.

Lifestyle Changes

Since losing weight and joining WLR, I have discovered running in a big way. When I started diet and exercise, I walked a lot and then walked and jogged, gradually building up to a slow red faced lumber round the park across the road. Then, I started to take it more seriously and signed up for the Bristol Half Marathon at the start of the year (my brother is fund raising director for the Association of Children's Hospices). Now, I’ve run the Bracknell Half Marathon and several 10ks. In the summer, I joined other WLR members in the bananaman run around Richmond Park (I finished first in the over 50s men).

Martin Now:

"Here I am completing my first proper half marathon (and at a personal best time)"

Exercise Routine

I go to the gym most days where I do some aerobic exercise such as rowing, cross training, cycling and then some weights and sit-ups. Depending on injuries, I will try and go for a run most days as well. If I can’t run, I’ll spend longer on the machines in the gym to make up for it.

Diet Changes

Typical Dinner – Before

During the week, usually ciabatta or baguette with a large soup (Covent Garden say) and salad leaves. During the weekend, big bits of meat, oily potatoes, creamy sauces and probably at least one takeaway in there. Oh, we also used to use large plates. I didn’t drink much during the week, but at least a bottle of wine on a weekend evening.

Typical Dinner – Now

During the week, lots and lots of fruit. For the main meal, it will usually be pulses of some sort (chick peas, lentils) or a salad with home made dressing. Over the weekend, the occasional curry or pizza, but pretty much smaller and leaner portions of meat and veg. I rarely drink now.

Why do you think WLR has helped you lose weight where other diets have failed?

Basically the structured approach to weighing food and logging calories means that I’m not deceiving myself about how much I am eating.

Martin's Weight Loss Tips

I think the most important (and probably the hardest) thing to realise is that it really is down to you. Your weight is your responsibility. It’s not your genes making you overeat, it’s you. It’s not your slow metabolism making you fat, it’s you. Other people are not force-feeding you.
Don’t take any notice of what anyone else says, specially the siren call of “I think you’ve lost enough weight now”. If you’re losing weight, go for the weight that you are comfortable with being.

TOOTH WHITENING

IF YOU WANT BLEACHING OF YOUR TEETH READ CAREFULLY-

Quick Facts

This is a short check list of things you need to consider before you decide on a teeth whitening treatment. Once you’re up to speed with the main things to think about you can explore the issues in more detail throughout the website.

Should I be whitening my teeth?

Not everyone’s teeth are suitable for whitening. If your teeth and gums are not in a healthy condition before you whiten, the procedure may cause more damage. Even if there is nothing wrong with your teeth there may be other reasons why whitening won’t work.

How can I find out if my teeth are suitable for whitening?

The safest way to work out if your teeth are suitable for whitening is to see your dentist first. Dentists are the only people trained and qualified to make an accurate assessment of your teeth and gums.

What should a proper assessment include?

Your dentist will check for things like enamel thickness, receding gums, existing sensitivity, existing tooth decay, existing restorations (e.g. fillings, crowns and veneers), any other oral diseases or conditions. He will also assess the cause of discolouration, (e.g. diet, ageing etc.) and whether it is on the surface or inside the teeth. Only a qualified dentist is able to carry out these checks and then recommend a suitable whitening treatment.

What can go wrong?

For many people teeth whitening poses no serious risk if done correctly. However, if you choose the wrong treatment for your teeth or that treatment is applied incorrectly (e.g. whitening products are often used too frequently or applied for too long a time) then some damage can occur. You can read more about this here but the main problems and side-effects can be:

• Reduction in the hardness and strength of enamel
• Damaged and inflamed gums
• Blistering
• Severe tooth sensitivity
• Irritation and possibly bleeding in the oesophagus and stomach if some of the bleaching agent is ingested
• If you have crowns, veneers or fillings these will not change colour at all after bleaching so you could end up with multicoloured teeth
• On the product side, some whitening treatments are very highly concentrated and are well over the officially recommended level of 6% for the active whitening ingredient. Find out what’s in the product you want to use as they can range from 3% to 35%!

What results can I expect?

Depending on the cause of the discolouration results can range from impressive to disappointing so it’s important to understand what can reasonably be achieved before you go ahead with any whitening procedure. The reality is that most people will achieve a one or two shade change but many will see no change at all. What works for one person will not work for another. Again, your dentist will be able to advise you.

Teeth Whitening Checklist

If you’re keen to improve the whiteness of your teeth, go through these steps so you can be sure you have chosen the right treatment. It could save you from unnecessary pain and possibly irreparable damage to your mouth.

• Have you tried other ways to whiten your teeth without using a chemical treatment, like having a professional scale and clean by your dentist and maintaining good oral hygiene habits?
• Have you consulted your dentist and had your teeth assessed for suitability to be whitened?
• Has your dentist recommended a course of action or specific treatment?
• Do you understand exactly how to use a treatment you will be applying at home?
• Are you fully aware of the potential side effects of whitening?
• Are you fully aware of the kind of results you can expect?

Please ensure you have satisfactory answers to all these questions before you undertake any teeth whitening procedure.

Prevention goes hand-in-hand with many dental treatments. Learn how you can prevent dental disease at home, or learn about dental treatments that are used to halt, treat, and prevent dental disease from affecting your health and wellness.

Children's dental care is often overlooked, because many people believe those tiny baby teeth are just going to fall out one day, and be replaced with a set of second chance teeth. However, caring for baby teeth should be considered one of the most valuable lessons to teach a child.

Top 10 Common Dental Problems 0091-7738509412

Top 10 Common Dental Problems 
0091-7738509412
DR. ASHOK SINGH DENTAL CARE 
MUMBAI

Dental problems are never any fun, but the good news is that most of them can be easily prevented. Brushing twice a day, flossing daily, eating properly and regular dental check ups are essential in preventing dental problems. Educating yourself about common dental problems and their causes can also go a long way in prevention.

1. Bad Breath

If you suffer from bad breath, you are not alone. Bad breath, also called halitosis, can be downright embarrassing. According to dental studies, about 85% of people with persistent bad breath have a dental condition that is to blame. Gum disease, cavities, oral cancer, dry mouth and bacteria on the tongue are some of the dental problems that can cause bad breath. Using mouthwash to cover up bad breath when a dental problem is present will only mask the odor and not cure it. If you suffer from chronic bad breath, visit your dentist to rule out any of these problems.

2. Tooth Decay

Did you know tooth decay, also known as cavities, is the second most prevalent disease in the United States (the common cold is first). Tooth decay occurs when plague, the sticky substance that forms on teeth, combines with the sugars and / or starches of the food we eat. This combination produces acids that attack tooth enamel. The best way to prevent tooth decay is by brushing twice a day, flossing daily and going to your regular dental check ups. Eating healthy foods and avoiding snacks and drinks that are high in sugar are also ways to prevent decay.

3. Gum (Periodontal) Disease

Studies have shown that periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is linked to heart attacks and strokes. Gum disease is an infection in the gums surrounding the teeth. Gum disease is also one of the main causes of tooth loss among adults. There are two major stages of gum disease: gingivitis and periodontitis. Regular dental check ups along with brushing at least twice a day and flossing daily play an important role in preventing gum disease.

4. Oral Cancer

Oral cancer is a serious and deadly disease that affects millions of people. In fact, the Oral Cancer Foundation estimates that someone in the United States dies every hour of every day from oral cancer. Over 300,000 new cases of oral cancer are diagnosed every year, worldwide. This serious dental disease, which pertains to the mouth, lips or throat, is often highly curable if diagnosed and treated in the early stages.

5. Mouth Sores

There are several different types of mouth sores and they can be pesky and bothersome. Unless a mouth sore lasts more than two weeks, it is usually nothing to worry about and will disappear on its own. Common mouth sores are canker sores, fever blisters, cold sores, ulcers and thrush.

6. Tooth Erosion

Tooth erosion is the loss of tooth structure and is caused by acid attacking the enamel. Tooth erosion signs and symptoms can range from sensitivity to more severe problems such as cracking. Tooth erosion is more common than people might think, but it can also be easily prevented.

7. Tooth Sensitivity

Tooth sensitivity is a common problem that affects millions of people. Basically, tooth sensitivity means experiencing pain or discomfort to your teeth from sweets, cold air, hot drinks, cold drinks or ice cream. Some people with sensitive teeth even experience discomfort from brushing and flossing. The good news is that sensitive teeth can be treated.

8. Toothaches and Dental Emergencies

I can't think of much worse than suffering from a toothache. While many toothaches and dental emergencies can be easily avoided just by regular visits to the dentist, we all know that accidents can and do happen. Having a dental emergency can be very painful and scary. Fortunately, you can do several things until you are able to see your dentist.

9. Unattractive Smile

While an unattractive smile is not technically a "dental problem," it is considered a dental problem by people who are unhappy with their smile and it's also a major reason that many patients seek dental treatment. An unattractive smile can really lower a person's self-esteem. Luckily, with today's technologies and developments, anyone can have a beautiful smile. Whether it's teeth whitening, dental implants, orthodontics or other cosmetic dental work, chances are that your dentist can give you the smile of your dreams.

DENTAL IMPLANT IN MUMBAI 7738509412

DENTAL IMPLANT IN MUMBAI 7738509412

What Are Dental Implants? Dental implants are replacement tooth roots. Implants provide a strong foundation for fixed (permanent) or removable replacement teeth that are made to match your natural teeth.

What Are the Advantages of Dental Implants?

There are many advantages to dental implants, including:

• Improved appearance. Dental implants look and feel like your own teeth. And because they are designed to fuse with bone, they become permanent.
• Improved speech. With poor-fitting dentures, the teeth can slip within the mouth causing you to mumble or slur your words. Dental implants allow you to speak without the worry that teeth might slip.
• Improved comfort. Because they become part of you, implants eliminate the discomfort of removable dentures.
• Easier eating. Sliding dentures can make chewing difficult. Dental implants function like your own teeth, allowing you to eat your favorite foods with confidence and without pain.
• Improved self-esteem. Dental implants can give you back your smile and help you feel better about yourself.
• Improved oral health. Dental implants don't require reducing other teeth, as a tooth-supported bridge does. Because nearby teeth are not altered to support the implant, more of your own teeth are left intact, improving long-term oral health. Individual implants also allow easier access between teeth, improving oral hygiene.
• Durability. Implants are very durable and will last many years. With good care, many implants last a lifetime.
• Convenience. Removable dentures are just that; removable. Dental implants eliminate the embarrassing inconvenience of removing dentures, as well as the need for messy adhesives to keep them in place.

How Successful Are Dental Implants?

Success rates of dental implants vary, depending on where in the jaw the implants are placed but, in general, dental implants have a success rate of up to 98%. With proper care (see below), implants can last a lifetime.

Can Anyone Get Dental Implants?

In most cases, anyone healthy enough to undergo a routine dental extraction or oral surgery can be considered for a dental implant. Patients should have healthy gums and enough bone to hold the implant. They also must be committed to good oral hygiene and regular dental visits. Heavy smokers, people suffering from uncontrolled chronic disorders -- such as diabetes or heart disease -- or patients who have had radiation therapy to the head/neck area need to be evaluated on an individual basis. If you are considering implants, talk to your dentist to see if they are right for you.

Does Insurance Cover the Cost of Dental Implants?

In general, dental implants are not covered by dental insurance at this time. Coverage under your medical plan may be possible, depending on the insurance plan and/or cause of tooth loss. Detailed questions about your individual needs and how they relate to insurance should be discussed with your dentist and insurance provider.
