Don't Neglect Mammograms out of Fear

I waited longer than I should have to start getting regular mammograms. I know they are important, but I have fear of new procedures, and I let this fear hold me back from starting this important health screening. I didn't get my first one until I was 55, and it was only after I had a small lump on my underarm that had me fearing the worst. I finally had my first mammogram. It was quick and easy, and my doctor made me feel very comfortable. I was told my small lump was just a small bit of scar tissue, thankfully, but it was a blessing in disguise that it gave me a scare. I now have regular mammograms now that the "fear of the unknown" is gone. I created this blog to encourage other women to not be afraid of mammograms! They are faster and easier than you think!

3 Tips For Preventing Peri-Implant Disease
Dental implants are by far the superior choice when it comes to tooth replacement options. They look and feel just like your real teeth, and once they've settled into your jaw, you won't notice a difference between the way that your implants function and the way that your natural teeth function. However, you do have to take steps to guard against peri-implant disease. Peri-implant disease is similar to gum disease – it begins with sensitive or bleeding gums, and can progress to the point that it damages the bone in your jaw.
