Periodontal disease can become a very serious concern if not treated. Learn more about how we can help!
Get the care you need today!
Did you know that approximately half of all U.S. adults have some level of gum disease? Even worse, many people don't realize it because gum disease often doesn't have any symptoms until it is well advanced.
At Groves Dental Care, we take gum disease very seriously. You can think of your gums as having a similar function as the foundation of your house. If the foundation your house sits on is damaged or weak, your house will suffer.
Your gums provide stability and protection for your teeth, but when they are diseased, they cause damage to the bone structure that holds your teeth in place. Gum disease is the number one cause for lost teeth in American adults.
Additionally, researchers have recently discovered a link between gum health and overall systemic health. Gum disease has been linked to a number of serious systemic conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, respiratory disease, and even Alzheimer's disease.
As plaque and tartar build up near or just beneath the gumline, your gums become irritated and inflamed. In response, the bone that firmly anchors your teeth in your mouth slowly starts to disappear, moving away from the inflammation. As the bone disappears, deeper and deeper pockets are created in between your gums and your teeth. These deeper pockets continue to trap more and more plaque, which advances the periodontal disease, creating a cycle of damage.
Once enough bone loss occurs, your teeth will start to become loose. When teeth become loose, they often cannot be saved. At Groves Dental Care, we want you to have healthy gums, keep your teeth, and enjoy systemic health.
During your dental examinations, you have probably experienced the dentist "measuring your pockets." The dentist uses a tiny ruler and calls out numbers, which are entered in your record. If you are hearing ones, twos, and threes during this process, you are in pretty good shape. If you are hearing fours or higher, however, you probably have some level of gum disease.
If you find that you have any of these signs or symptoms, call our office right away for an evaluation.
When gum disease is caught early, it can often be reversed by simply improving your home care routine. Our hygienist will spend time during each cleaning to review your home care routine with you and provide you with tips and recommendations so you can get the most out of this important habit.
If your condition is more advanced, we will need to provide you with specific gum therapy. The main reason why people need gum therapy as opposed to a regular cleaning is that calculus (tartar) has built up on the teeth below the gumline. Unfortunately, tartar can only be removed manually by a hygienist or a doctor.
Removing tartar is similar to removing barnacles from a dock. Barnacles are very difficult to remove, just like tartar on your teeth. The use of specialized instruments by a hygienist or dentist is the only way to remove tartar safely and effectively.
No medications, mouth rinses, flosses, or toothbrushes will help treat periodontal disease once you have it. Advanced gum disease can only be treated by manually removing the calculus build-up. This build-up, commonly referred to as tartar, is made up of a group of harmful bacteria that cause inflammation. Over time, the build-up causes bone loss and creates the early stages of periodontal disease. Many people never realize that this is happening because, like many other dental problems, periodontal disease doesn't hurt at the beginning stages. Far too many people end up losing teeth unnecessarily for this same reason.
Catching periodontal disease early can help you avoid a lot of challenges, so please come see us if you are having any concerns about your gums.
What Is Involved in Gum Therapy?
The main difference between a regular cleaning and gum therapy is the depth of the build-up below the gumline and the fact that we will introduce an anesthetic. The rest of the process is essentially the same as a regular cleaning. The only reason we apply local anesthetic during gum therapy is make sure you are completely comfortable. You should not have any discomfort at all during this procedure.
Has it been a while since your last cleaning? Are you seeing some worrisome signs or symptoms?
Call our Loxahatchee dental office today to schedule a cleaning and examination!
Bad breath can be the result of a number of different factors.
Of course, eating strong- or pungent-smelling foods are likely to contribute to bad breath, but we're guessing this isn't the kind of bad breath you are talking about.
Chronic bad breath, or halitosis, is typically oral health related, and the distinctive odor is usually caused by a build-up of bacteria.
Bacteria can build up in your mouth for a number of reasons. The most common of these is periodontal disease. In this situation, your gums are actually infected by bacteria and recede from the roots of your teeth.
Another common culprit in bad breath is dry mouth. Dry mouth can occur for a variety of reasons. Older patients who may take many medications are at a higher risk of dry mouth due to the side effects. Surprisingly, mouthwashes with alcohol in them also contribute to dry mouth! We recommend using a mouthwash like ACT that doesn't have any alcohol. Tooth decay can also contribute to bad breath.
If you suspect or have even been told that you have bad breath, please call Groves Dental Care and schedule a consultation. Clearing up the problem could be as simple as a professional cleaning and improved home hygiene. We may also recommend periodontal therapy to help treat gum disease or certain treatments to help boost saliva production and reduce bacteria.
Flossing and tongue brushing are some of the simplest ways to get rid of bad breath. Flossing at least once a day before going to bed is recommended. Ideally, flossing after every meal would be beneficial, but we realize this may not be practical.
Many people have never been taught to brush their tongue. Ideally, this should be done in the morning after waking up and in the evening before going to bed. This is the time when most bacterial build-up occurs.
Cleaning your tongue is very important, and it's also easy to do with an instrument called a tongue scraper. These can be purchased at most stores, including Publix, Target, and CVS.
Give our office a call to schedule an appointment for a dental cleaning to get on the right track!
Gum disease is a chronic inflammatory process that happens slowly over time.
Gum disease develops when plaque and tartar build up at and just beneath your gumline. The bacteria in the plaque and tartar irritate your gums and cause inflammation. This starts off a chain reaction that includes the bone and soft gum tissue pulling away from your teeth, destabilizing the foundation. If periodontal disease goes untreated, you will eventually lose your teeth.
The biggest problem with gum disease is that it rarely causes pain, so many people wind up having the disease without even realizing it. When this process is caught early on, it is easily reversible. If treatment is delayed, however, the condition becomes something that can be managed or treated but not cured.
The good news is that preventing gum disease doesn't have to be complicated. While some people are more prone to getting gum disease due to genetics or systemic conditions like diabetes, there are ways to greatly reduce the development of periodontal disease.
Brushing and flossing as directed by your dentist and hygienist will keep plaque and tartar build-up to a minimum, and twice-yearly cleanings will remove the remaining traces that tend to occur in hard-to-reach places. Being diligent about either your home care or your cleanings is not enough; both are necessary to prevent periodontal disease and other problems, like decay. If you develop periodontal disease, you will need more frequent maintenance cleanings, usually three to four per year, after your your disease has been initially treated with periodontal therapy.
Additionally, every cleaning and examination includes a screening for gum disease. Often, the first signs and symptoms are subtle, and they may go unnoticed by you. Your dentist and hygienist however, should know exactly what to look for, and thanks to technology like intraoral cameras, we can show you exactly what we see!
If you are concerned about your gum health, don't hesitate to call us today and we will help guide you through everything without any judgements!


The Hour of Code is a great opportunity to bring coding into your classroom and to introduce your students to some vital digital skills. You'll see your students' eyes light up as they discover what they can build and create and the likelihood is they'll want to do more. With this in mind, it will benefit them to have opportunities to develop their digital skills throughout the school year as well.
So, how do you bring digital skills and coding into the classroom on a more regular basis?
1. Encourage your students to "go digital" when doing assignments and class projects. Rather than drawing a poster, they could design a website or do a video presentation using Flipgrid. Bringing in digital approaches will not only develop students' skills, but will also more closely align school projects with what students will have to do in the workplace.
2. Prompt students to think about how technology links to a range of subject areas. It is vital that students see how technology relates to almost everything in the real world and how it can be used to solve real problems. Ask questions to prompt their thinking. Covering biology? Ask how technology is used in medicine. Studying art? Look at digital artists. Technology is present in every walk of life and the sooner students connect their digital skills with the real world, the better.
3. Set up specific time for digital activities in your classroom. This could be weekly or monthly but make the time!
a.) You could use the slot for a combination of mini on-screen and unplugged activities throughout the semester.
b.) You could set your students a challenge that they can work on across the semester as a passion project.
Whatever format you choose, give students the opportunity to be creative and explore the many ways technology can be used by introducing them to a range of different resources.
At BSD we advocate for the use of real world technology projects in every classroom throughout the school year. We believe that regular exposure to technology in a range of different contexts is the best way to prepare students for using technology in their futures and to understand how to apply it in connection with their interests.
To see what BSD can do for you, contact us here.


Content guidelines are purposely vague, as we like to read and publish a wide variety of genres and styles. One thing to bear in mind, though, is that we like our fiction dark, and we like it weird. If you think your work fits either (or maybe even both) of these descriptions, then it might well be up our street. We look forward to reading it.

Indonesia Tsunami: Death Toll On The Rise
The tsunami warning system failed Indonesia yet again as a 3 meter high wave hit the country's coast along Sundra Strait last Saturday while a popular Indonesian band was performing there. The directly affected areas were Pandeglang, Serang and South Lampung, Indonesia.
The officials are on the go hunting for injured and missing people but the count as of now of people killed by the wave is 281 with several hundreds left injured.

Inspite of the fact that the Indonesian president, Joko Widodo ordered the country's Meteorology, Climatology and Geological Agency to purchase tsunami detectors "that can provide early warnings to community." The tsunami hit without a warning as it was beyond the technology's capability to predict.
"This (tsunami) is caused by several factors. Our censors did not sound early warning because they are for tectonic activity not volcanic activity. That's why we are in coordination with other agencies such as the maritime and geology agencies," Dwikorita said.

"Saturday's tsunami was caused when molten rock pouring out of the Anak Krakatau volcano prompted a series of underwater landslides, pushing water up and causing a wave which grew as high as three meters (10 feet).", according to CNN.

It might have beyond the technology to anticipate this calamity but as the country is partially developed along volcanoes, the government is now taking active steps to mitigate loss and be better prepared for the future.

Q: .net DllImport issue I'm loading a dll with DllImport and the name of the dll (as it is in the same folder as my application):
[DllImport("myDll.dll")]

and till here all works fine if application is opened from the same location. But if I run cmd and type:
"C:\path\to\my\application\app.exe"

the application opens but the dll called from the application itself isn't loaded anymore.
So to sum up if I open manually app.exe from C:\path\to\my\application\ the DllImport works fine and loads the dll in the same path.
If I open the application from another location, it isn't loaded anymore.
Any suggestions? Tried also
[DllImport("C:\\path\\to\\my\\application\\myDll.dll")]

and
[DllImport("\\myDll.dll")]

but no way, it doesn't work.

A: The DLL is located using the DLL search order, as described here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms682586.aspx. Since the DLL is in the same directory as the executable, it will be found because the directory containing the executable is the first place that the system searches.
So we can conclude that the DLL is found by the loader. Since you report that the behaviour changes when the working directory changes it would seem that is the problem. Your DLL has a dependency on the working directory. It's probably a mistake to have such a dependency. You should find a way to avoid such a dependency.

It has long been a dream of mine to do a volunteer project in Africa using my career as a Medical Laboratory Technologist. The year 2017 would be the year to scratch that off my bucket list because, let's face it, I am not getting any younger.
So, with some financial donations from HSAA (the union's social-justice committee gave $800) and other help, I made this happen.
After researching and contacting various volunteer outfits, I contacted Volunteer BaseCamp and signed up for a project in Ghana. After several months of booking flights, visa application, immunizations, pharmacy visits to get medications for "just in case," I arrived in the very hot city of Accra which has a population of about two million, on June 2. I stayed for a weekend of orientation, then it was off to Kumasi for my assignment at the Anniweh Medical Centre.
If I had to sum up my first and lasting impression of Ghana in one word, it would be "colourful." Let me fill in some of that colour for you. Everywhere, you see people in their colourful native dress doing various outside activities; handwashing their laundry out of their wash basins (probably the same wash basin they just bathed in); brushing their teeth over the open sewer system that runs on both sides of the roads; people carrying their wares to sell on the top of their heads; tro-tros (the public transport system) with the helper hanging out the door shouting out the destination; and little shanty shops everywhere selling anything you could ever want. Schoolkids in their very colourful uniforms were off to school quite early. To that, add goats, dogs and chickens everywhere.
My first day of work, I was quite shocked to see that almost everything is washed and reused – slides, pipette tips, urine containers, reaction tubes.
The list of testing they did there is quite extensive; basic urines, CBCs, basic chemistry, hormone testing (PSAs and HCGs), TSH, T3, T4, hemoglobin electrophoresis, sickling screens and malaria screens with the density count. The chemistry analyzer has been broken for nine months, so all the chemistry is manually pipetted and then read on a spectrophotometer. That definitely brought me back to school days.
The bench technologist does about 10-20 malaria screens per day with Plasmodium Falciparum accounting for the majority of the malaria there. This is one of the biggest causes of infant deaths. Sickle cell is a major concern there, so all maternity patients are screened for this. One day there I picked up three positives, with one being a homozygous. The screening is done with sodium metabisulfite.
I also saw quite a few parasites. They have no computer system, so all results are recorded in scrapbooks. Once recorded, the results are written on the requisition and then handed to the secretary who types up a report.
All the phlebotomy is done with syringes. Sharps are disposed of in cardboard boxes.
Here is the irony; the laboratory is in a beautiful, relatively new building, but the hospital it serves is quite old and dark and dingy.
The female ward I went out to is accessed through a dark, wooden screen door, with 10-12 old metal frame beds lined up in a small room and one toilet and one sink. The nurse's desk is an old metal desk and overhead there is a ceiling fan to cool the air. The ER department is a framed outdoor area with corrugated tin roof.
I was able to make a few recommendations for maintenance of the equipment and tweaking some of the procedures. Quality control was quite difficult as they really do not have access to commercial quality control, so the use of patient quality control is quite prevalent.
As I was working there, I realized that it was like a M*A*S*H mentality. The doctors are interested in getting a reasonable result; is it high or low; is it life-threatening, etc.
To sum up, I learned a great deal about the lives of the people and the passion they have to try to make their lives better. Help is needed, not in the form of human resources, but in the form of government investment in decent health-care equipment, facilities and infrastructures to get rid of the open sewer systems and to provide better hospital facilities.
I came back with more appreciation for running water, decent health-care facilities, closed sewer systems and more. I am very glad I had this opportunity to use my skills for a volunteer project in Africa.

text:
Uggleskärror är en grupp med små nattaktiva fåglar som tidigare ansågs närmast besläktade med nattskärror och grodmunnar, men som idag anses stå närmare seglare och kolibrier. Idag placeras de vanligen i den egna ordningen Aegotheliformes. Merparten är hemmahörande på Nya Guinea, men vissa arter förekommer i Australien, Moluckerna och Nya Kaledonien. Ordningen omfattar den enda familjen Aegothelidae med släktet Aegotheles.

Ekologi och morfologi
Uggleskärrorna är insektsätare som för det mesta jagar i luften, men bland även från marken. Deras mjuka kamouflerade fjäderdräkt är brunaktig och de har ganska små och veka fötter, dock kraftigare än nattskärrornas och grodmunnarnas. Den lilla näbben, som kan öppnas extremt mycket, är omgärdad av iögonfallande morrhårsliknade borst. De har korta vingar med tio handpennor och stjärten är lång med en avrundad kant.

Systematik
Släktskapet mellan uggleskärrorna och skärrfåglarna (Caprimulgiformes) har länge varit omdiskuterat och oklart. Under 1800-talet behandlades de som en underfamilj till grodmunnarna. Dock visar sentida studier att de inte är så pass närbesläktade som man tidigare antagit, utan att de istället delar en gemensam anfader med seglar- och kolibrifåglarna (Apodiformes). Genom morfolgiska studier av deras kranium har det sedan 1960-talet föreslagits att de borde placeras i den egna ordningen Aegotheliformes. Denna ordning, tillsammans med skärrfåglarna och seglar- och kolibrifåglarna förutsätts då utgöra en gemensam klad som fått namnet Cypselomorphae, där ugglenattskärrorna och seglar- och kolibrifåglarna utgör kladen Daedalornithes.

Idag förekommer de uteslutande i Australasien, men närbesläktade arter har förekommit över hela Eurasien under sen paleogen.

Arter
Dumbacher et al. (2003) genomförde genetiska studier av gruppen och föreslog att den borde delas upp i elva idag förekommande arter plus en art som dog ut under 1000-talet. Samtida auktoriteter som IOC, BirdLife Sverige och Clements et al. delar upp den i nio arter.

FAMILJ: AEGOTHELIDAE
 Släkte Quipollornis (fossil, tidig/mellersta miocen i New South Wales)
 Släkte Aegotheles Större uggleskärra (Aegotheles insignis)
 Stjärnuggleskärra (Aegotheles tatei)
 Moluckuggleskärra (Aegotheles crinifrons)
 Vattrad uggleskärra (Aegotheles wallacii)
 Berguggleskärra (Aegotheles albertisi)
 Aegotheles a. archboldi) – behandlas ibland som egen art
 Sotuggleskärra (Aegotheles savesi)
 Bennettuggleskärra (Aegotheles bennettii)
 Vogelkopuggleskärra (Aegotheles affinis)
 Australisk uggleskärra (Aegotheles cristatus)

Utöver dessa finns även den sedan 1000-talet utdöda maoriuggleskärra (Aegotheles novaezealandiae).
