Dr. Kitzmiller wantsCincinnati to understandthe importance of sleep!During National SleepAwareness Week, March5-11, hundreds of interest-ed Cincinnatians attendedfree public-awarenessevents hosted by Dr. Kitz-miller and local sleepprofessionals. Attendeeslearned that while snor-ing can be annoying, it isoften a symptom of alife-threatening conditioncalled obstructive sleepapnea, where the airwaycollapses during sleepand causes the person tostop breathing and toawaken with a gasp mul-tiple times an hour. Un-treated, sleep apnea canlead to excessive fatigue,high blood pressure,heart disease, diabetes,and even death.

At the sleep openhouses, attendees re-ceived free sleep screen-ings, information aboutthe health consequencesof untreated sleep dis-orders, steps for properdiagnosis, and treatmentoptions that include OralAppliance Therapy, Con-tinuous Positive AirwayPressure devices (CPAP)and surgery.

A sleep open houseattendee and new patientof Dr. Kitzmiller’s says,“My husband has snoredfor years. We had no ideathat his snoring was af-fecting his health. Thankyou, Dr. Kitzmiller, forshowing us how to givemy husband – and me – aquiet and healthy night’ssleep!” – Mary

At Gentle Dental Carethe specialty is fearfulpatients. Dr. Tara Dall-mann and her caring staffmake it their business tocalm the fears of the mosthesitant patients. Heatedneck pillows, warm blan-kets, homemade cookiesmade daily, a refreshingglass of soda or a cool bot-tled water are just a few ofthe ways the staff at GentleDental Care go above andbeyond to give patients asense of being home or at agood friend’s house.

Dr. Tara Dallmann trulydoes her part to make heroffice a place where fear-ful patients feel safe. Shefrequently says, “My of-fice is a place where mygoal is to treat each patientlike they were a goodfriend.” This means leav-ing no stone unturned

when it comes to her pa-tients’ dental health, givingthem several options whenit comes to their treatmentand, most important, theavailability of interest-freeaffordable payment plans.

However, the mostdifficult patient to help isthe one who will not call.Not because of the fear ofpain, but because theythink there is no help forthem. In the mirror they

see a smile that makesthem embarrassed andself-conscious. In manycases, the easy answer isjust not to smile.

One of these patientscame into our office thefirst time to bring hermother, and casually men-tioned she needed work aswell. We brought motherand daughter in for ourcomplimentary consulta-tion and set time aside for

both to get digital photos.The self-conscious patientdidn’t smile much andwhen she did, placed herhand over her mouth. Digi-tal photos were the lastthing she wanted, but wetook them, and that’s whenthe magic began. Dr. Dall-mann came in as she al-ways does to review thephotos with the patient. AsDr. Dallmann began toexplain the possibilities,you could see the spark ofhope in the patient’s eyes.Step one was her consulta-tion, step two was the seda-tion dentistry visit, andstep three is showing offher beautiful new smile.Now she is so comfortablein our office that she nolonger needs to be sedated.

Our next patient wasnew to the area and re-ceived a letter inviting her

to visit our office. With herhead hung low and nosmile, the patient met withGentle Dental Care’s NewPatient Coordinator, KimFisk. “I remember Missy’sfirst visit with us,” Kimsaid. “It took everything inmy power to get her tolaugh for the digital pho-tos.” In this case, the goalto put every patient at easeand prepare them to meetDr. Dallmann was no easychore, as the patient wasextremely nervous. Afterthe consultation we did nothear from her for at leastsix months, when the pa-tient realized she wasfinally ready financiallyand mentally to get hernew smile. Because of herfear the patient was sedat-ed, yet even in a sedated

Correcting your smile can be as easy as 1-2-3

Step one is the consultation, step two is the sedationdentistry visit, and step three is showing off a beautifulnew smile. The Gentle Dental Care staff specializes intreating dental anxiety. PROVIDED

March is NationalNutrition Month andchoosing the rightfoods in your diet isimportant for healthyteeth and good oralhygiene. The mouth isthe entry point forfood, and the abilityto chew and swallowis a critical functionrequired to obtainessential nutrients forthe body.

To prevent cavitiesand maintain goodoral health, your diet– what you eat andhow often you eat –are important factors.Changes in yourmouth start the min-

ute you eat certainfoods. Bacteria in themouth convert sugarsfrom the foods youeat to acids, and it'sthe acids that begin toattack the enamel onteeth, starting thedecay process. Themore often you eatand snack, the morefrequently you areexposing your teeth tothe cycle of decay.

The best foodchoices for a healthymouth includecheeses, chicken orother lean meats, nutsand milk. These foodsare thought to protecttooth enamel by pro-

viding the calciumand phosphorus need-ed to re-mineralizeteeth.

Other food choicesinclude firm/crunchyfruits such as applesand pears, and vege-tables. These foodshave a high watercontent, which di-lutes the effects ofthe sugars they con-tain, and stimulatethe flow of saliva,which helps protectagainst decay bywashing away foodparticles and buffer-ing acid.

The best beveragechoices include wa-ter, milk and un-sweetened tea.

This month, makeit a point to keepyour “plate inshape.” Your teethand mouth will thankyou!

Plantar fasciitis is aninflammation of the plan-tar ligament that attachesto the heel bone. Thepatient’s most commoncomplaint is pain in thebottom of the heel or archarea with the first step inthe morning and painafter periods of rest. Itcan become chronicallypainful throughout theday and lead to signifi-cant disability. Conserva-tive therapy is successful90 percent of the timeand includes stretchingexercises, custom-madeorthotics, anti-inflamma-tory medication, nightsplints, physical therapyand cortisone injections.Custom-made orthoticsare the most conservativetreatment option. Theseare covered by mostinsurance plans and moreeffective than insertssold over the counter.

In some cases, the painpersists and surgical

treatment is necessary.Years ago, large incisionsto surgically remove theheel spur and release thetight plantar ligament ledto months of casting andtime off work. The surgi-cal approach has im-proved significantly. Itcan now be performedthough two small inci-sions with a techniquecalled Endoscopic Plan-tar Fasciotomy. In mostcases, patients are backto regular shoes in threeto seven days and pain-free in four weeks. Plan-tar fasciitis is also treat-

ed with shock wave ther-apy. The shock wave,which is ultrasonicallydriven, loosens the plan-tar ligament and allows itto stretch. It’s not unusu-al for patients to be backto work in two days withno limitations. This issimilar to the ultrasonicshock wave used to elim-inate kidney stones.

“Now’s the time toschedule your pool open-ing so you can get in yourpool when you want toand not when our sched-ule allows,” said SamIonna, owner of S.I. PoolCare. If you’re in themarket for a new pool, S.I.Pool Care features fi-berglass pools by BlueHawaiian. They’re avail-able in various colors andare stronger and moreflexible than either vinylliners or gunite pools andcome with a 35-year war-ranty.

According to Ionna, theadvantages of fiberglassover vinyl liner and gu-nite pools are clear:“Compared to vinyl, thereare no liners to replace,no tears or holes in liners,no fading, no floating ofliners with ground waterand liners have a 12- to15-year warranty, withonly the first two or threeyears covered at full

warranty.“And the only advan-

tage a gunite pool hasover fiberglass is that youcan make the pool larger.Cost, strength, flexibilityand warranty are all onthe side of a fiberglasspool,” Ionna said.

Renovation servicesinclude installing a newliner, pump or filter oradding a heater or saltgenerator. You can alsoresurface your gunitepool with fiberglass and

get a 25-year warranty,opposed to the one-yearwarranty you’d get if youmake plaster repairs, atabout the same cost. Fi-nally, think about replac-ing, refurbishing or ex-panding that concretepool deck. S.I.

In today’s economy,many homeowners areremodeling their existinghomes instead of buildingnew ones. One of theeasiest and most effectiveways to give your house anew look is with a con-crete overlay systeminstalled by ConcreteConcepts of the Tri-State.

According to ownerFrank Davidson: “We cando any color or designyou want. If you wantyour concrete patio tolook like brick or stone,we can make it look likebrick or stone.” A con-crete overlay system isless expensive than a newpatio laid with brick orstone pavers, and with theproper care, it can lastlonger, too.

Concrete Conceptsalso offers:

» Excavation/grading» Concrete garage-

floor overlays, patios,driveways and pool decks

» Stamped and plainconcrete installation

A homeowner’s num-

ber-one complaint abouttheir concrete patio isthat it looks drab.

“Even if they paint, itcan still look faded,” saidDavidson. “We’ll pres-sure-wash it, apply thefinish and color you want,then seal it to keep itlooking newer longer.”Because concrete is po-rous, it lets in impuritieslike oil and dirt that candull the finish, but Con-crete Concepts’ sealingprocess keeps these sub-stances on the surface sothey’re easier to remove.

Concrete Concepts ofthe Tri-State is a 2010Angie’s List Super Ser-vice Award winner, andall technicians are bondedand insured. Call themtoday at 859-816-2679 fora free consultation. Don’tforget to ask about their10-year warranty.

If you’re looking for afun makeover project,the easiest room to redec-orate may be your bath-room.

The bathroom is thefirst place you look atyourself every day, whichis why Erika Woelfel,director of color at BehrPaints, favors pink forbathrooms. “Peach, apri-cot and salmon pinksprovide a warm, rosybackground glow.They’re great to use indressing or vanity areas,as they enhance skintones for daily groom-ing,” said Woelfel.

Here are a few colorschemes and themes:

Keep It Classic: Con-sider a light minty green,an ethereal white and adowny white, then accentwith soft pops of color.Choose an eclectic col-lection of light fixturesand hardware.

Make a Bold State-ment: Go for all-outglamour with walls inaubergine, eggplant andlilac. Add black trim andonyx tiles to the floor.Brighten with white tow-els and linens.

Get a Handle on It: Avariety of decorativedrawer pulls and handlescan be incorporated into adecorating scheme. Anddon’t be afraid to paintbuilt-ins.
