Ultrasonic Tooth Cleaner Device – Does It Work?

Dental plaque (a film of bacteria that forms on your teeth) is known to be the main cause of periodontal (gum) disease. When the bacteria settle on your teeth they form a whitish film called biofilm. Those that are not removed cause formation of “pockets,” areas of separation between the teeth and their surrounding gums, in which plaque hardens into deposits known as calculus or tartar. The purpose of having your teeth cleaned regularly by a trained professional hygienist is to remove deposits of plaque and calculus. Removal of hard deposits on your teeth is called “scaling.” This can be done either by using hand-held scalers or by newer technology: ultrasonic power scalers.

Let’s take a look at the strengths and weaknesses of both types of instruments.

Power Scalers:

How they work: These instruments use the energy of ultrasonic vibration to crush and remove hard, calcified deposits of calculus. They also create shockwaves that disrupt bacterial cells. Use of these tools includes washing and flushing the pockets and any exposed root surfaces with water.

Pros: They are as effective as manual instruments for calculus removal in shallow gum pockets and significantly more effective in pockets greater than 4mm. They are very effective in removing calculus from root surfaces and from within periodontal pockets. Their small tips can penetrate deeper into periodontal pockets than manual instruments and are more comfortable to experience, and they are more effective for cleaning difficult nooks and crannies. Coolant sprays flush the area and remove bacteria and their by-products. They require less time than manual instruments.

Cons: A contaminated mist may form so that the hygienist needs to wear protective equipment. The vibration of the ultrasonic instruments may make it difficult to feel if the root surface is completely smooth and free of calculus. Power scalers affect some heart pacemakers.

Sleep Trackers: Fitbit, Apple and bedside devices

Sleep Trackers: Good quality sleep is linked to general health, mental wellbeing and even avoiding serious long-term illnesses, so using a sleep monitor to check you’re getting enough rest is a no-brainer.

Wellness isn’t just about doing cat yoga and drinking alt-milks, sometimes you just need a refreshing sleep.

There are now plenty of different ways to track sleep, whether that’s through a bedside monitor, a wrist-worn wearable like a smartwatch or a device that fits under your mattress.

All will give slightly different insights and personalized tips on how to improve your rest time, but the options from our picks below are worth exploring if you want to know exactly how you’re sleeping – and make positive steps to improve it.

We’ll be breaking down what to look for in a sleep tracker, how it manages to track your sleep accurately and the best sleep gadgets to buy – we’ve tested them all so you don’t have to.

Terminology explained:

Before you can pick the right sleep monitor to watch over your night, you need to know exactly what you want from one. The tech involved here is much more advanced than the smartphone apps that use the accelerometer to track movement under your pillow – and, as a result, things are much more accurate.

HR vs. movement sensors

Older fitness trackers used wrist movement to track sleep, but now it’s all about heart rate monitoring – and companies like Fitbit and Withings are looking at your beats per minute (bpm) during sleep to make assumptions not only about duration, but which sleep stage you’re in.

Bay Alarm Medical In-Home Medical Alert

Bay Alarm Medical In-Home Medical Alert

The Bay Alarm Medical In-Home Medical Alert is a moderately priced, no-contract personal emergency response system that’s a breeze to install and use. It delivered quick response times in testing, and its two-way hands-free communication is excellent. We love the base unit’s extra-large help button, and the pendant help button’s solid in-home and outdoor range, though we found the reset button to be inconveniently located. That said, it’s the best medical alert system we’ve tested, and our Editors’ Choice.

Design, Features, and Pricing

The Bay Alarm In-Home uses a white Mytex MXD base unit that measures 2.0 by 7.9 by 5.2 inches (HWD). It can sit on a countertop or be mounted on a wall. The face of the unit contains a relatively large 4.0-by-2.0-inch bright red help button, and a microphone and speaker for two-way hands-free audio communication with the response center.

The help button has a small status light that’s solid green when the system is plugged in to AC power and ready to go, and flashes green when it is operating on battery power (the unit has a built-in backup battery that will supply up to 32 hours of power in the event of a power loss). A solid red light indicates that an alarm has been sent and the unit is communicating with the response center, and a flashing red light means the phone line is not connected. A flashing orange light indicates the unit is operating on battery power but is not connected to the phone line.

There’s a reset button on the back of the unit that is used to cancel a help call and return the system to a state of readiness. However, the button must be pressed within 15 seconds of a help call to prevent the call from going through. It’s placement around back and right next to the similarly sized T/L (test/learn) button is a bit inconvenient, and could lead to some confusion if the alarm is set off accidentally.

Refreshed NuFACE® Mini

Refreshed NuFACE® Mini has the same amazing facial contouring, toning, and lifting benefits as a new Mini. These devices have been repackaged by NuFACE and may have very slight cosmetic imperfections—if any at all. They’re the perfect option for first-time microcurrent clients who are looking for a great value.

Refreshed devices are covered by a 1-year warranty and come with all the usual accessories in brand new packaging, but they are final sale.

How Long do Refreshed NuFACE® Mini results Last?

Most clients see results after the first treatment; however results may vary. We recommend taking before/after photos and lifting half of your face to compare. Results are cumulative and optimal results are achieved with regular use. Typical results are improved appearance of contour along the jawline and cheeks, improved appearance of skin tone, softer, firmer and smoother skin and reduction in appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Results from one treatment will last 1-3 days. Results based on the Engage Clinical Study – results on file.

How many days can you use a NuFace Mini device?

NuFACE devices are safe and gentle enough for everyday use, either morning or night. We recommend using NuFACE devices once in a 24-hour period, for 5-20 minutes per treatment. For the first 60 days we recommend using NuFACE 5 times per week; after 60 days or after desired results are met, we recommend 2-3 times per week for maintenance.

ECG Smart Watch: How they work ?

Smart Watch: Heart rate monitors are part and parcel of smartwatches and fitness trackers now, but electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG) is the new sensor in town.

The technology is designed to help people keep closer tabs on their heart health, and can even be used to help identify atrial fibrillation (Afib) a serious medical condition that is a leading cause of stroke.

What is ECG?

Most of the wearables on the market at the moment have optical heart rate monitors inside them. This is a monitor that uses flashing LEDs to penetrate the skin and detect blood flow. When light is reflected off the flow of blood, it’s captured by the sensors. The algorithm then gets to work to produce heart rate data.

Enter the electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG). Rather than measuring blood flow, it’s designed to measure how well your heart is working.

It’s a term you’d more commonly hear in the medical industry, referring to an electrocardiograph that’s used to detect any cardiac abnormalities.

Why would I buy an ECG smartwatch?

Smart Watch: They key question for many people is ‘why buy an ECG smartwatch?’. Well, for many (dare we say most people) the feature is something you’ll likely use once and then forget about. But for a large subset of people, ECG is absoutely essential.

“ECG on wearables is super high value for a small segment. It is probably going to be more advantageous to our users over 50 than 20 – 25 year olds, but we’re trying to build something for everybody,” Dr Conor Heneghan, Director of Research Algorithms at Fitbit told Wareable.
