What is a Filling?A filling is a way to restore a tooth damaged by decay back to its normal function and shape. When a dentist gives you a filling, he or she first removes the decayed tooth material, cleans the affected area, and then fills the cleaned out cavity with a filling material.By closing off spaces where bacteria can enter, a filling also helps prevent further decay. Materials used for fillings include gold, porcelain, a composite resin (tooth-colored fillings), and an amalgam (an alloy of mercury, silver, copper, tin and sometimes zinc).Which Type of Filling is Best?No one type of filling is best for everyone. What's right for you will be determined by the extent of the repair, whether you have allergies to certain materials, where in your mouth the filling is needed, and the cost. Considerations for different materials include:Gold fillings are made to order in a laboratory and then cemented into place. Gold inlays are well tolerated by gum tissues, and may last more than 20 years. For these reasons, many authorities consider gold the best filling material. However, it is often the most expensive choice and requires multiple visits.Amalgam (silver) fillings are resistant to wear and relatively inexpensive. However, due to their dark color, they are more noticeable than porcelain or composite restorations and are not usually used in very visible areas, such as front teeth.Composite (plastic) resins are matched to be the same color as your teeth and therefore used where a natural appearance is desired. The ingredients are mixed and placed directly into the cavity, where they harden. Composites may not be the ideal material for large fillings as they may chip or wear over time. They can also become stained from coffee, tea or tobacco, and do not last as long as other types of fillings generally from three to 10 years.Porcelain fillings are called inlays or onlays and are produced to order in a lab and then bonded to the tooth. They can be matched to the color of the tooth and resist staining. A porcelain restoration generally covers most of the tooth. Their cost is similar to gold.If decay or a fracture has damaged a large portion of the tooth, a crown, or cap, may be recommended. Decay that has signNowed the nerve may be treated in two ways: through root canal therapy (in which nerve damaged nerve is removed) or through a procedure called pulp capping (which attempts to keep the nerve alive).What Happens When You get a Filling?If your dentist decides to fill a cavity, he or she will first remove the decay and clean the affected area. The cleaned-out cavity will then be filled with any of the variety of materials described above.How Do I Know if I Need a Filling?Only your dentist can detect whether you have a cavity that needs to be filled. During a checkup, your dentist will use a small mirror to examine the surfaces of each tooth.Anything that looks abnormal will then be closely checked with special instruments. Your dentist may also X-ray your entire mouth or a section of it. The type of treatment your dentist chooses will depend on the extent of damage caused by decay.The Perfect Smile Dental Clinic has been whitening smiles and changing lives in Chandigarh area for years.Call us today +91-9876061283 and let our expert dentists help you regain your white, beautiful smile.

Having not lived in America for almost 15 years, I have to rely on the internet for information about health care costs in America, so take what follows with a grain of salt - your own experience with US health care costs may vary.According to this article from Money, single Americans pay an average of $89 a month for health insurance while families pay $413. Contrasting this with Japan’s national health care system (which is, essentially, mandatory and generally considered a tax), the amount you pay is based on how much you pay in residence taxes, with a multiple based on the number of people in your family. It is capped at 500,000 yen per year, but, winds up being about 8% of your salary, at least in my (single) experience (call it about $250 a month). So, the cost of insurance seems a bit higher.According to that previous article, though, most Americans also have a deductible they have to cover before the insurance starts to kick in, at which point you simply pay your copay. The average deductible appears to be about $1400, and copays for standard medical care are $24 in America.In Japan, there typically is no deductible. Instead, in most cases you pay a flat 30% of any and all medical fees in Japan when on national health care (there are some adjustments for the very young and very old).The biggest difference, between medical costs in America and Japan is that the Japanese government very tightly regulates how much doctors and companies are allowed to charge for services and medicines.It’s been difficult to find costs for procedures (in America or Japan), so I’m just going to list the costs I have personally experienced during my time here in Japan - hopefully someone can comment with the costs they paid in America. It’s probably worth noting all of the below were all outpatient - not sure how much a week’s hospital stay would cost. All costs are on insurance, so are 30% of the “actual” price for care.Pneumonia - 4 doctor’s visits (1 / week), 4 weeks of medicine (antibiotics and cough medication, 4 X-rays (1 / week). Total out-of-pocket cost: about 25,000 yen (about $225)Influenza - 1 doctor’s visit, medicine. TOPC: about 2,000 yen.Back sprain - 1 doctor’s visit, 3 different pain-relief regimens, ambulance trip. TOPC: about 4,000 yen.Broken tooth - 4 trips to the dentist, 3 temporary caps, 1 permanent replacement. TOPC: about 5,000 yen.Cracked thumb - 2 trips to the doctor, 2 X-rays, 2 sets of dressings and braces. TOPC: about 5,000 yen.Colonoscopy - Pre-procedure counseling and day-before food package, cleansing laxative, procedure. TOPC: about 10,000 yenOne final note: It’s probably worth mentioning that one major difference between American and Japan is that Japanese will often go to the hospital for even the most insignNow things (like the common cold), where Americans often won’t (perhaps as a result of the cost involved). But one major difference that I think explains this is that OTC medication is much more expensive in Japan and (in my experience) not as effective as OTC medication in America. For instance, you can buy a large bottle (500-count) of store-brand 200mg ibuprofen for, what, $10 (on average)?In Japan, they don’t typically have store-brand OTC medication in the first place. Second, it is quite difficult to find any OTC medication with 200mg ibuprofen (most cap at 150mg, with several being 100mg or less), and for about the same amount of money, you can get about 40 pills.In short, America is generally a better place if you’ve got a cold or a headache and want to take care of it yourself. Japan is generally a better place for just about everything else, at least as far as the medical costs go.

I was about 16 when this happened, and I refused to go to any doctor for 2 years fearing something bad would happen. This doctor was so unprofessional that my story might sound fake or exaggerated but i PROMISE you, it’s not.I had pretty bad depression, but I didn’t want to take medication for it so I always informed my doctors that I didn’t need it and I was fine on my own. This year, I got into a pretty bad relationship that made it harder for me to deal with depression. I self-harmed often and tried to commit suicide once. I told my mom I needed to go to the doctors and get a prescription because i couldn’t handle it anymore. Well, my mom had just changed jobs and therefore, had an insurance change, which means I had to get a completely new set of doctors. She took me to a doctors office in the ghetto city (I guess that was the only office her new insurance would cover, because we lived in a wealthy city and even the surrounding cities were fairly affluent).When we got there, the nurse took my vitals, measured me, weighed me, all that stuff and then had me wait in one of the rooms. I had to go to the bathroom and on my way there, I overheard the doctor scold the nurse for taking my vitals, etc. The nurse argued that it was procedure for every new patient, but the doctor said it specifically wasn’t necessary for me. I didn’t think it was weird at the time. When I got back to the room and the doctor walked in, the FIRST thing she said wasn’t hello, it wasn’t acknowledging me at all, it was telling my mom that if i was “too much for my mom to handle, she could always provide my mom with a brochure about giving me up to the state.” WTF?? the next thing the doctor did was ask a series of questions about depression off of a paper script. halfway through the paper, she stops and tells me that “i shouldn’t be depressed because i have a mom, i have a roof over my head, i have clean clothes, etc.“ the thing is, she doesn’t say it empathetically but she says it as if i’m ungrateful instead of depressed… anyways… when she sees that i answered “yes” to suicide attempt, she blames my mom for not taking me to the emergency room. My mom explained to her that she did call the 24-hour nurses hotline and they told her what to do and when i was showing signs that i was fine, they said it’s up to her whether she wants to take me to the ER or not but to keep monitoring me. This doctor told my mom that the nurses hotline “doesn’t exist” and kept trying to say that she’ll report my mom to CPS. I was literally there, i heard my mom on the phone with the nurses hotline the whole time. Even after this doctor visit i looked it up and YUP ITS STILL THERE. anyways!!! the doctor starts doing a check up on me and i tell her that i got my ear cartilage pierced TWO DAYS AGO and it’s sensitive. she looks at it, sees that it’s red, and says it’s infected. it’s not infected, it’s brand new lol. she then GRABS MY EAR AND TWISTS IT SEVERAL TIMES. i was screaming and crying and all she did was keep saying “does it hurt? how bout now? still hurt?” by then i was in tears. later on, she goes through the questionnaire again and sees that i marked “yes” to sexually active. she asked if it was one person or multiple people. i said just my boyfriend of two years. she tells me that he “probably doesn’t love me and is only using me for sex” and at this point i realize why am i letting this woman berate me all this time? she knows i’m here for depression but all she has done is make me feel worse than anyone ever has. i walked out and waited outside for 30 minutes before my mom walked out. to this day, i still don’t know what happened after i left. two weeks later though, we got a letter in the mail from that doctor’s office saying i needed to finish my appointment or else they would report to the police that my mom never took me to the ER that one time.BTW, not sure if anyone’s wondering but the doctor works out of a Molina office in Colton, CA. old black lady. don’t know her name.

Hi,When choosing the right career, it is important to understand what you can expect to make when you enter the profession. Those who choose to become dentists often do so not only because they want to help people, but because it is a career with a reputation for high salaries.

Those who choose to specialize might make even more.Before signNowing dental school, students must complete at least 90 hours of an undergraduate program, though many departments now require a full degree.

Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina Principle states, "Happy families are all alike, but every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." He saw that unhappy families were each doomed by unique problems of their own making, while happy families were those who steered clear of such problems.The corporate world suffers from the reverse of the Anna Karenina Principle. Successful companies each seem to invent their own unique paths to success. But failing companies follow predictable death spirals that have been followed by many other companies preceding them.Often these "sinking ship" companies can seem to be doing just fine, especially to employees who don't have the experience to recognize the obvious signs. This is handy guide of what to look out for.If you work at a big company, look for:New opportunities are evaluated and shot down based on their impact to the old legacy businesses. (See The Innovator's Dilemma).Managers are paid for making quarterly and annual targets, so they avoid investments that pay off in the future since they detract from their bonus numbers. As the business declines, they simply negotiate lower bonus targets each year.You benchmark your performance against your direct, legacy competitors instead of the new disruptive entrants in your market. You think you are doing well vs. your competitors without being aware that you are competing in the equivalents of the Seniors Tour.Mediocre employees are not fired since their managers know they can't recruit better ones anyway.When asked "why do you like working here?" your employees talk about the dental plan.Your managers roll their eyes when you point out that how new technologies like Apple Watches, Twitter, and Amazon Web Services will impact your business. They call them "toys" and say, "our customers will never trust their businesses to those!"Your co-workers use Blackberries from 2009. They say, "I already know how to use it, and I don't need that distracting new stuff."You spend the first week of the quarter talking about long-term strategic planning. You then forget about it and spend the next twelve weeks scrambling to make the quarter.Instead of firing bad leaders, you create cross-functional committees to solve the problems those bad leaders created. When those problems persist, you disband the committees and bring in consultants to solve the problems the bad leaders (then the committees) created.All conversations about new grown end with reluctant middle management saying, "only if you give me more budget!" The budget never comes, and you all go back to what you were doing.You integrate acquired companies so quickly that you destroy their businesses and their best people leave.Or, instead of integrating the acquired companies, you keep them as independent business units and get no synergies. You integrate them in a hurry a year later during a cost-cutting exercise. The best people leave.Your CFO spends 5% of her time talking about innovation and revenue growth and 95% talking about cutting costs. She says, "that's my role here."The HR department thinks their job is administration, compliance, and keeping employees from suing, not ensuring the company wins in the market by having the best team.To pay $9.99 for an Evernote subscription, you need to wait a year for the "Information Technology Steering Committee" to approve Evernote as a vendor.You have a Chief Strategy Officer. People say, "I don't know what he does all day." He disappears and is not replaced.You don't target the best companies and try to hire their best people. Instead, you put three-page job descriptions on your website and wait for candidates to find them, fill out a form, and apply.People argue over offices. They all use the same excuse: "I'm on the phone a lot."You launch "innovation projects." When it looks like you'll miss earnings by a penny a share a few quarters later, those projects are cut. After those risky but innovative projects are cancelled, the people working on them are laid off, getting richly punished for their risk taking. No one ever signs up for an "innovation project" again."Succession planning" has become a euphemism for, "when the boss quits, just promote someone on her team so we don't need to pay for a search."You have five CEOs in five years. The board then announces the company is getting broken up and sold. They act like that was the plan all along, then lay off you and half of your co-workers.You ask your laid-off co-workers why they joined the company in the first place. Their answer: "job security."If you work at a startup:You never hear how much cash you have in the bank or hear what was discussed in the board meeting. When you ask questions, your executives say, "I need you to stay focused on your work."When you get your stock option offer, no one will tell you how many shares are outstanding or that the last round of funding came with a 5x liquidation preference.People never talk, coordinate, or even leave their desk because they "hate meeetings." (They actually hate each other).You "rehearse" for board meetings and spend a week on board meeting slideshows that are prettier than your customer slides.You have more MBAs on the team than engineers.
