Book excerpt: Your smile is a reflection of your true self. Dr. Nader Bazzi understands the physical and psychological repercussions of unhealthy teeth, like no other, and he knows that a beautiful smile increases your likelihood of success in life. Dr. Bazzi has a passion to help even the most challenging patients, whose teeth cannot be "saved" by traditional means. Through the use of implant dentistry, a "modern day miracle," he can restore the original function of a lost tooth without negative impact to the rest of your mouth. Not surprisingly, patients who need implant dentistry are fearful of dentists (and are his favorite kind to work with). Dr. Bazzi has done over 1000 implants to date, and likes to educate his patients about the tremendous strides that have been made in dentistry and pain management. He enjoys teaching them that they can be helped--and that they can receive that help without judgment. But above all, I enjoy seeing the transformation these individuals undergo when we work together to resolve years of dental problems.

Download or read book Saving Face written by Heather Laine Talley and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner, Body and Embodiment Award presented by the American Sociological Association Imagine yourself without a face—the task seems impossible. The face is a core feature of our physical identity. Our face is how others identify us and how we think of our ‘self’. Yet, human faces are also functionally essential as mechanisms for communication and as a means of eating, breathing, and seeing. For these reasons, facial disfigurement can endanger our fundamental notions of self and identity or even be life threatening, at worse. Precisely because it is so difficult to conceal our faces, the disfigured face compromises appearance, status, and, perhaps, our very way of being in the world. In Saving Face, sociologist Heather Laine Talley examines the cultural meaning and social significance of interventions aimed at repairing faces defined as disfigured. Using ethnography, participant-observation, content analysis, interviews, and autoethnography, Talley explores four sites in which a range of faces are “repaired:” face transplantation, facial feminization surgery, the reality show Extreme Makeover, and the international charitable organization Operation Smile,. Throughout, she considers how efforts focused on repair sometimes intensify the stigma associated with disfigurement. Drawing upon experiences volunteering at a camp for children with severe burns, Talley also considers alternative interventions and everyday practices that both challenge stigma and help those seen as disfigured negotiate outsider status. Talley delves into the promise and limits of facial surgery, continually examining how we might understand appearance as a facet of privilege and a dimension of inequality. Ultimately, she argues that facial work is not simply a conglomeration of reconstructive techniques aimed at the human face, but rather, that appearance interventions are increasingly treated as lifesaving work. Especially at a time when aesthetic technologies carrying greater risk are emerging and when discrimination based on appearance is rampant, this important book challenges us to think critically about how we see the human face.
Download or read book The Organ Donor Experience written by Katrina Bramstedt and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2011-11-16 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite starting slowly with some academic jargon about altruism and people's motivations to donate organs, the book quickly takes a right turn and gets interesting. The authors sprinkle little informative tidbits along the way-Asian-Americans constituted only 3.4% of U.S. donors-and bring their points alive through little vignettes when examining the origins of altruism. The authors would make brilliant sales reps: they put forth a convincing argument about what a great humanitarian effort living donation is then patiently explain the evaluation process to reassure readers of the minimal costs. The few downsides are reviewed and discussed-for example, how to deal with family members who do not support the decision to donate or the devastation donors might experience when a recipient dies. Resources, bibliography, and index occupy a full 36 pages, yet for the most part this book escapes the drudgery of a research-laden study and instead reads as a fascinating story about a very human issue.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Practicing dentistry has a high burn-out rate for many reasons, but the Alliance for Integrity in Dentistry has a solution—one that can transform the daily burdens of practicing dentistry: Dental offices should remain dentist owned, not corporate owned. Dr. Ben Warnock, D.D.S. with Dr. Nader Bazzi D.M.D., created the Alliance for Preserving the Integrity in Dentistry. The Alliance is a group of dentists who have joined forces to help keep dental offices dentist owned and dentist run. The Alliance has become a revolutionary group in the dentistry field. With private practices being bought up by corporations, the solo practitioner and dentist owned group practices are in immediate danger. If the pace of infiltrating corporate dentistry doesn’t meet opposition, the integrity of dentistry and patient dental health are in jeopardy. The Independent Dentist teaches the Alliance Triple-Win, which provides a path to a better way for practicing dentistry so that dentists can minimize stress and optimize satisfaction. Dentists will be able to complete all administrative tasks, help their patients achieve optimal dental and overall health, and still have time to spend with family and friends, and pursue hobbies. These strategies will enrich the field of dentistry while preserving its integrity. The Independent Dentist is a guide for practitioners who want to fulfill the dreams that spurred them toward dentistry in the first place.

Download or read book Wonder Drug written by Stephen Trzeciak, M.D. and published by St. Martin's Essentials. This book was released on 2022-06-21 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A pair of doctors team up to illuminate, through neuroscience and captivating stories from their clinical practice, how serving others—and pitching in to the world in general—is a secret superpower. If a doctor’s prescription could bring you: - Longer life - Better health - More energy and resilience - Less burnout, depression and anxiety - More happiness, fulfillment and well-being - More personal and professional success (including higher income) - And, no harmful side effects Would you take it? In Wonder Drug, physician scientists Stephen Trzeciak, M.D., and Anthony Mazzarelli, M.D., illuminate, through neuroscience and captivating stories from their clinical practices, how being a giving, other-focused person is a secret superpower. Serving others—and pitching in to the world in general—is the evidence-based way to live your life. Kinder people not only live longer, they also live better. Science shows that serving others is not just the right thing to do, it’s also the smart thing to do. Wonder Drug will make you rethink your notions of “self-care” and “me time,” and realize that focusing on others is a potent antidote to the weariness that so many of us feel in modern times. Getting outside of your own head, outside the swirl of self-concern that may dominate your mental chatter, is, ironically, one of the best things you can do for yourself. Building upon their earlier work showing that, in the context of healthcare, having more compassion for patients is a powerful way to not only achieve better patient outcomes, but also promote well-being, resilience and resistance to burnout among healthcare workers, Trzeciak and Mazzarelli now extend their research to uncover how the power of serving others reaches far beyond the medical world and can be a life-changing therapy for everyone. Wonder Drug relates to the varying meanings of giving in real people’s daily lives. The stories in this book will convince and inspire you to make simple prism changes. You don’t need a total life upheaval, just a purposeful shift in mindset. In fact, the crucial first piece of the evidence-based prescription is this: start small. Per science, the best way to well-being and finding your true fulfillment is this: scan your orbit for the people around you in need of help, and go fill that need, as often as you can.
