Stress, Sleep, Brain Health

Sunday wellness focus this week is on the importance of sleep and how cortisol levels and stress affect a good nights rest. There are three distinct patterns of cortisol profile. The normal pattern would be the highest levels reached 30 minutes to 1 hour after waking, and then a slow decline throughout the day. If the pattern is disturbed, you can have a tired but wired pattern or a wired and tired pattern. There are many things you can use to try to alter sleep behavior, including sleep aids, supplements, peptides, vagus nerve stimulation, pharmacology, frequency therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy. Personally, I still struggle with healthy restorative sleep. What do you do for sleep enhancement?

Transformation Thursday

Amazing how a visceral fear of the dentist can cause people to delay treatment for so long. Happy to be able to manage this gentleman’s phobias with the help of sedatives, nitrous, and counseling and deliver badly needed periodontal care.

"Dr. Froum is the best. He found a problem that had stumped two prior dental providers. He is a skilled clinician. An expert at what he does. Every single person in the office is outstanding. I had a special cleaning by dental hygienist Natasha. She is a professional with many years experience.....and it shows. In addition she is so pleasant, thoughtful and nice. There is another beautiful Hispanic young lady in the office.." says SG on Google

Happy World Red Head Day

Redheads represent fewer than 2% of the global population, yet they are disproportionately represented among patients who require supplemental anesthesia, report higher postoperative pain, and—according to published data—are more than twice as likely to avoid dental care altogether. Redheads have a MC1R allele variant that needs to be recognized and understood. The question is not whether the redheaded patient experiences pain differently. The question is: does your clinical protocol account for it?

Continuing Education

Using this long weekend to take Comtinuing Education classes for the body in the form of Vo2 max and power training. This metric is just as important to know for your health as measurements like blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol. Wearable devices like the polar heart monitor, apple watch, and Oura ring can all ‘talk’ to each other and measure this number. Training like this allows me to perform at optimal cognitive and technical levels during the week in the office. What is your Vo2 max and how do you increase that number?

"I can’t recommend this place highly enough. Dr. Kelleher as well as the hygienist and the rest of the staff have excellent bedside manner.

I came here for a 2nd opinion after another periodontal office recommended much more extensive and likely.." says Thomas on Google
