It’s Thanksgiving again! It is time to give thanks for the harvest and express gratitude in general! That’s why I thought I take a moment to thank my great patients for being so loyal and referring their friends and loved ones to my practice! Being a Dana Point and Laguna Niguel Dentist allows me to get to know number of great people from these vivid and beautiful cities, who come to my office initially for either teeth whitening or dental check up and treatment, but they stay in my life as friends. I get to know each and every one of them and we build a relationship that is based on trust and mutual respect, to the point that sometimes I miss them and feel like calling them just to see how they are doing! I cherish you all and wish you a wonderful thanksgiving and a safe holiday season!

By the way although we might be closed some of the days due to the Holidays, I am still available if you have a dental emergency, please call our dental office at (949)240-3242 and you will be redirected to my personal voicemail.

Kind Regards,

DR Zadeh

God’s Pharmacy! Amazing!

 
A sliced Carrot looks like the human eye. T he pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye… and YES, science now shows carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes.

A Tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart has four chambers and is red. All of the research shows tomatoes are loaded with lycopine and are indeed pure heart and blood food.

Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart. Each grape looks like a blood cell and all of the research today shows grapes are also profound heart and blood vitalizing food.

A  Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums. Even the wrinkles or folds on the nut are just like the neo-cortex. We now know walnuts help develop more than three (3) dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function.

Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and yes, they look exactly like the human kidneys.

Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and many more look just like bones. These foods specifically target bone strength… Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium. If you don’t have enough sodium in your diet, the body pulls it from the bones, thus making them weak. These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the body.

Avocados, Eggplant and Pears target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female - they look just like these organs. Today’s research shows that when a woman eats one avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight, and prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is this? It takes exactly nine (9) months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods (modern science has only studied and named about 141 of them).

Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs increase the mobility of male sperm and increase the numbers of Sperm as well to overcome male sterility.

Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance the glycemic index of diabetics.

Olives assist the health and function of the ovaries

Oranges, Grapefruits, and other Citrus fruits look just like the mammary glands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and the movement of lymph in and out of the breasts.

Onions look like the body’s cells. Today’s research shows onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells. The y even produces tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes. A working companion,

 Garlic, also helps eliminate waste materials and dangerous free radicals from the body.

 Preventing gum disease, the leading cause of tooth loss, is gaining new urgency. As research shows gum disease can contribute to heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.

The culprit? Oral bacteria that leak into the bloodstream. Dental health is directly linked to the health of the body, and many diseases may be alleviated by eliminating toxins and inflammation in the mouth.

What can you do? Brush teeth at least twice daily, floss, use mouthwash, and visit your dentist every six months (If you have ever been diagnosed with gum disease, or have had root planing and scaling, deep cleaning, you need to get your perio maintenance cleaning every 3 to 4 months, this is how long it takes for the bacteria to recolonize.)

A diet rich in fruits and green vegetables for vitamin C and calcium is essential to oral health, and B vitamins and CoQ10 are also recommended to maintain gum tissue health.

Your toothbrush should be replaced every three months. If it starts to fray before three months are up, throw it out and get a new one.

Getting a quick an painless Oral Cancer screening test once a year (Comparable to PAP test to prevent Cervical Cancer) is standard of care and can save lives. One American dies every hour from oral cancer. Prevention is the best solution.

Please call us today, we have flexible hours including early mornings, late evenings and Saturdays, we will be happy to make an appointment that works with your busy schedule.

Have a wonderful halloween everyone!

Sometimes it is possible to complete dental treatment in phases.

Up until 1775 it was believed that a magical tooth worm was responsible for causing tooth ache.

There is a name for the soreness you feel when you burn your mouth on mozzarella cheese: pizza palette!

In 1895 Lillian Lindsay became the first female dentist in Britain. (Girl power!)

A third of us make it all the way to the age of 17 without ever getting a cavity but still only the common cold beats tooth decay as the most prevalent disease in the United States!

In the 1800s high class Chinese women would paint their teeth black as a sign of marital fidelity.

Tooth accessorises such as tooth jewels and grills can be used to express your personality. This is not new. Over one thousand years ago South American tribes fixed jewels to their teeth. You can pay over $15,000 for custom made grills!

Your teeth are as unique as your fingerprints! even identical twins have different “dental fingerprints”…

In the past dentures were available to the wealthy but they were more ornamental than functional and could have been made from animal bone!

Tooth whitening has been going on for centuries. In the 1800s some dentists sold their customers a special liquid which was painted onto their teeth to make them whiter.

The first electric toothbrushes went on sale in 1960.

Listerine was first produced over a hundred years ago. Mouthwash remedies have been around for centuries. Other popular solutions have included donkey’s milk and honey!

Some species of shark will shed as many as 30,000 teeth during their lifetimes. On average, a shark replaces a tooth every 8 days.

The first custom fitted mouthguard was made in the early of 1900’s from a rubbe strip.

The enamel that covers your teeth is the hardest substance of your body, but it can chip or crack, and teeth are the only part of the human body that can not repair themselves. That’s why looking after them is so important!

“We live in a very image-conscious society and impressions are made within few seconds!”- Mark Montano , host of TLC’s makeover .

Here is a dental tip from your Dana Point Dentist!

When it comes to taking care of your teeth , eating the right food is as important as oral hygiene, and visiting your dentist regularly.

The worst foods for your teeth are: Sugary breakfast cereals, Sugary snacks and drinks such as soda, juices and smoothies.

The Best foods for your teeth are : Milk and other calcium-rich foods such as cheese.

Do not brush your teeth straight after you drink fruit juice or any other acidic food to avoid washing away your enamel, instead drink water to rinse off the acid or re-mineralize your enamel by drinking some milk or eating some cheese.

Please take care of your teeth, you live with them everyday!

Happy new year to all!

Dr Zadeh
