Could facial fillers be the next global health scandal after the P.I.P. implants? In the UK the market is poorly regulated – underqualified beauticians can buy fillers from the internet and administer them themselves.

Who’s the fairest of us all? French authorities are clamping down on the use of illegal skin whitening creams. While…………… continues on FRANCE 24

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15, 2012 – /PRNewswire/ – People that have chronic mouth pain can be depressed, get anxious, have fewer job promotions, and engage in dysfunctional relationships. But it can get worse. Mouth pain may lead to serious medical conditions such as a heart attack, stroke, pneumonia, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease and cancer. Joe Kravitz, DDS, MS, founder of http://www.DentalImplants.us, has a solution: create awareness of the science underlying cavities and mouth pain.

“Toothaches are the most common pain of the mouth or face reported by adults. This pain can interfere with vital functions such as eating, swallowing, and talking. Almost 1 of every 4 adults reported some form of facial pain in the past 6 months.” — CDC 2012

And one cause of toothaches is cavities. Research by Dr. Kravitz suggests that it only takes seven minutes for a cavity to start forming. In such a remarkably short time, therein lies one of th…………… continues on Sacramento Bee

BANGALORE: Even middle-aged women want to get cosmetic dental surgery done. The most sought-after procedures are veneer or lamination, and bleaching of teeth. Some procedures can change the alignment of teeth without the pain of wiring and braces, say doctors.

“Men today don’t like a woman’s smile which flashes the gums, like Madhuri Dixit’s . They like Priyanka Chopra’s smile, which shows only the teeth,” said Dr Anuradha Navaneetham , medical director in charge of the Hosmat Dental Hospital.

“The science of dentistry has come a long way. When we have an option of correcting our smile, why not do it? Quite often, women are rejected by men because their teeth are not good,” he adds.

The procedures are basic bonding with tooth-coloured restoration, sculpted to help close gaps between teeth.

Laminates and veneers, which are thin la…………… continues on Times of India

Deficits don’t fluster Stillman Valley.

The Cardinals rallied from 20-6 down to beat Oregon 50-36 in the regional finals, then scored on their last five possessions to rally from five down in the final two minutes to edge Rock Falls 46-44 with 1.8 seconds left in the sectional final.

“The tougher the better,” 6-foot center Robyn Alde.

“How many pressure situations have we been in?” 5-10 forward Jessica Gerig said. “This team just has no quit.”

Eureka, which plays Stillman (25-6) tonight in the Class 2A Monmouth Supersectional with the winner advancing to the girls basketball state semifinals, knows all about playing teams that won’t quit. Eureka held a 14-point lead over No. 6-ranked Sherrard with less than three minutes left in its sectional final.

Less than two minutes later, the game was tied.

“It felt like an earthquake,” Eureka coach Jerry Prina said. “The gym was packed, and it was shaking so much it was hard to see, almost like a mirage.”

Still, Eureka (24-6) held on, winning 49-48 in a sectional that included four of the top…………… continues on Rockford Register Star

So you think you want to play college basketball but have no idea how to prepare?

One local coach has started a business to help point area athletes in the right direction.

Gene Houston, the former Rock Valley College women’s basketball coach and an assistant for the men’s team, launched his new business and website, Maximum Potential Recruiting Services, two weeks ago.

“Ever since I stopped coaching I’ve been focusing on training and sports specific skill development,” Houston said.

“But I’m also fed up with some recruiters telling kids, ‘Hey, I’ll get you a D-I scholarship,’ when that’s not the level they should be playing at. This will give them the assistance they need.”

Like many other recruiting services, MPRS will help young athletes put together a recruitment portfolio. But Houston goes much further. He also offers an ACT prep class, financial aid completion assistance, clearinghouse completion assistance as well as individualized nutrition and training plans.

“My passion for starting this business was to give our student athletes…………… continues on Rockford Register Star

Whitney Houston made three visits to the doctor in the week prior to her death, but the trips had NO illicit purpose — she had a sore throat and got her teeth whitened.

Both family and law enforcement sources tell TMZ … Whitney was recording the title track to “Sparkle” and got a sore throat … so she went to a doctor to get it checked out. We’re told the doctor gave Whitney an Rx for Amoxicillin.   

Whitney was also scheduled to film a commercial for her sister-in-law’s candle line, so she went to a dentist twice to get her teeth whitened and cleaned.

And law enforcement sources have reiterated to TMZ … Whitney was NOT doctor shopping for prescriptions and they believe none of the doctors crossed the line in their treatment of her.

CHAMPAIGN — Now all that’s left for Harlem’s Jordan Northrup is to try to do it again.

The junior 113-pounder upset Marist’s Mark Duda, who was ranked No. 1 all season long, with a speedy takedown late in the second period and some skilled work from the bottom during Saturday’s IHSA Class 3A state wrestling tournament. Northrup, who placed second at state last year, had never beaten Duda (36-2).

Until Saturday at about 8 p.m.

“I’ve worked my whole life for this, and I finally accomplished it. I knew it would come,” Northrup (40-3) said. “I’m just overwhelmed. Getting my hand raised was an amazing feeling. I can’t believe I did it.”

Northrup’s practice partner Zac Denny finished on a high note as well, building on a 2-1 lead in the third period of his fifth-place match with a sleek escape and a blur-fast takedown. Denny (30-7 at 120) closed out his junior season with a 5-2 win, a fifth-place medal, and a little momentum headed into his final high-school offseason.

“It’s not quite what I wanted, but I know a lot of people would be honored to place…………… continues on Rockford Register Star
