Q. Why do you need to have regular dental care check-ups?
A. Regular check-ups are needed to monitor your overall dentistry health. In addition to checking for cavities, your dentist examines the health of your entire mouth and surrounding soft tissues, checking for pre-cancerous or cancerous lesions, oral sores, and gum disease.
Your oral health is connected with your general health. General dentistry check-ups can alert the dentist to other medical conditions that have symptoms in the mouth such as diabetes, nutritional deficiencies, and hormonal irregularities. Regular dental visits are vital to prevent tooth decay, gum disease, and other conditions affecting your mouth.
Q. What can you do to feel more relaxed during a dental appointment?
A. With the combination of modern anesthetics and new technology and techniques, many procedures only have minimal discomfort or are now entirely painless. Dental care providers want their patients to have maximum comfort and approach their treatments with a relaxed attitude.
There are a number of ways to increase relaxation:
Some dental offices are now offering patients new options for stress-relief: hypnosis, self-hypnosis instructions, relaxation tapes, soft lighting, warm gel-filled eye masks, scented candles, and massaging pillows. These are helpful in reducing stress and anxiety in dental patients. Be sure to avoid the use of stimulants such as caffeine prior to your visit.
Q. Aromatherapy has a relaxing effect for many people. Is this effective for patients undergoing dental treatment?
A. Research studies conducted at Case Western Reserve University have noted that the use of aromatherapy has a significant positive effect on anxious dental patients. Two-thirds of the patients receiving aromatherapy were more calm and relaxed than those patients without exposure to the scented fragrance oils.
Dentists are concerned about your comfort. Ask your dental provider if aromatherapy is available in the office, or if you can bring your own for your dental visit. Essential fragrance oils are available in health food stores, spas, and some grocery and drug store outlets.
Q. Are dental patients who are considered at risk for bacterial infections advised to take antibiotic medication prior to their appointments?
A. Certain medical conditions, such as heart valve problems or a recent total joint replacement, are considered at risk for infection at the site of the cardiac abnormality or joint replacement. This infection results from bacteria from the mouth entering the bloodstream and working its way to these vulnerable areas.
Consequently, dental care procedures likely to result in bleeding from the gums or mucous membranes will require patients to take antibiotics prior to that procedure. Such procedures could include, but are not limited to, extractions, implant surgery, incision and drainage for oral infection, and professional teeth cleaning.
Guidelines have been established by the American Heart Association and the American Dental Association to provide dentists and physicians with information regarding appropriate regimens for antibiotic therapy. It also outlines those situations when antibiotic therapy is or is not indicated.
There also are other medical conditions warranting antibiotic therapy prior to dental procedures. Be sure to update your dentist regarding your medical history. Your dentist and/or physician will advise you of any special needs.
Q. Where can you receive dental services if you do not have the money to cover the related expense?
A. If you do not have eitherdental insurance or the money to pay for general dentistry visit, you should inquire about financial aid from various sources within your community.
You may need to make several calls, but the local dental society, the local public health department, or social service agencies may be able to direct you to sources of assistance. Also, check local hospitals, dental schools, and outreach clinics that may be able to provide dental services at a reduced fee.
When women enter menopause, changing hormone levels bring about a variety of symptoms and raise new oral health issues. Women and their doctors must consider the entire range of physical and emotional health implications, including their oral health.
As natural levels of estrogen decline, women may find themselves at risk for loss of bone density. Jawbones are no different; these structures hold our teeth in place, and loss of jawbone density can lead to tooth loss.
When women lose teeth, there are other immediate considerations. One is the potential loss of nutrition, as people with fewer teeth or with problem teeth tend not to eat well. Second is the loss of confidence or self-esteem that results from any cosmetic changes to our bodies. And third, the financial cost of replacing one or more teeth can stretch even the best-planned budget.
Hormonal changes also can have an impact on the health of gums and teeth. Women may find that their gums become inflamed and bleed easily, and may discover that their teeth are more cavity-prone. Both gum disease and tooth decay can result in losing teeth, another good reason to consider your oral health during this significant time of your life.
Women may notice a burning sensation or dryness in their mouths. They also may discover that these changes cause food to taste different, leading to a loss of appetite. Be alert to an appetite loss that persists, particularly if you begin to lose weight.
If gums become inflamed or bleed easily, alert your dentist who will check for early signs of gum disease. A receding gum line may indicate bone loss in your jaw, so ask your dentist to examine your mouth and jaw carefully.
Both you and your doctor should discuss prevention techniques, including calcium and vitamin D supplements, and replacement therapy for hormones. These are personal decisions that vary from woman to woman, and your doctor is best equipped to advise you.
What you can do is pay attention to your nutritional needs. Make sure you eat a wide assortment of healthy foods. Fruits and vegetables provide essential vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients. Exercise also is important to maintain your oral health and a healthy lifestyle.
Finally, keeping tabs on your emotional health as you enter menopause is important. A healthy outlook on life enables women to value themselves and seek the care required including: maintaining good oral health, seeing the doctor and dentist regularly, and focusing on healthy eating and exercise.

Become an Uber Driver Today
Turn Uber into Your Personal Money Machine!
In this video, rideshare expert Wylee Post provides some insight into what it is like to drive for Uber and Lyft
He emphasizes that rideshare driving is a unique opportunity to own your own small business and earn meaningful income on a full-time or part-time basis
He also offers free mentoring to new drivers for the first 90 days of their rideshare business
With his comprehensive eBooks and his one-on-one free mentoring,
you truly have a "business-in-a-box" opportunity
You've Been Thinking About Becoming an Uber Driver, But You Have Questions ...
How much money can I really make?
How do I convince my significant other?
Can I use my existing vehicle?
What kind of insurance will I need?
Does it make sense to rent or lease a vehicle?
How do I act like a pro (and avoid looking like an amateur)?
You see lots of information on the web about driving for Uber but none of it really answers your questions
Here are answers to some of your questions:
It's hard to find an answer to this question on the web.
Some rideshare drivers intentionally inflate their earnings in order to signup new drivers and get the bonus money for the signup.
Other drivers make claims about earnings without actually tracking their own earnings and expenses accurately.
Then there are the "studies" claiming that rideshare drivers make well under minimum wage.
With these conflicting data sources, what is the real answer?
Well, for starters, understand that there are really two numbers we are interested in to answer this question:
- The amount of money Uber will pay you as a driver
- Your vehicle expenses to earn that money
What you really want to know is how much money you can keep out of your rideshare earnings.
profit = income - expenses
This is a standard calculation in any kind of business, including rideshare driving.
A unique challenge in the rideshare industry is that both income and expenses can vary a great deal from driver to driver, so there is no single answer to the question, "How much can I earn as an Uber driver?"
If you only drive Monday through Friday between the hours of 1 pm and 4 pm, you aren't going to earn as much as a driver who focuses on higher-demand hours of the day when Uber is more likely to offer surge pricing and other incentives.
In the Rideshare Guides you'll discover numerous Pro Tips for maximizing your income –choosing the best time of the day to drive, taking advantage of surge pricing, picking the best locations to drive, and many more.
You'll also learn how to minimize your expenses as much as possible.
Obviously, the primary expense for any rideshare driver is fuel so picking a vehicle with good gas mileage is a key factor.
If you are shopping for a vehicle, the Science of Rideshare Driving explores all aspects of choosing an appropriate rideshare vehicle so you can make an informed choice.
The Science of Rideshare Driving also explains how to maximize the tax benefits of driving for Uber.
With the Art and Science of Rideshare Driving eBooks you'll be able to maximize your income and minimize your expenses - the result: maximum take home pay!
Having or picking an appropriate vehicle is a key factor for succeeding as a rideshare driver.
Start by checking Uber's requirements for rideshare vehicles in your specific location "Driver Requirements – How to Drive with Uber"
If your existing vehicle meets all of Uber's guidelines, the significant question becomes, "Does it make sense to use my existing vehicle for rideshare driving?"
The Science of Rideshare Driving will give you all of the information you need to answer this question for your specific lifestyle and situation.
While a used Toyota Prius is probably the ideal rideshare vehicle overall, your family lifestyle may require a minivan, or maybe you choose to drive a BMW or Audi because you like luxury cars.
There are premium Uber programs like UberXL for 6 passenger vehicles and UberSELECT for luxury sedans, so the income potential of your minivan or Beemer could be higher.
Offsetting the higher pay from UberXL and UberSELECT is the fact that there is less demand for these programs – most passengers choose the lower-cost UberX and UberPOOL services – you may find yourself driving UberX passengers simply because there are no UberXL or UberSELECT passengers looking for rides in your area.
Regardless of what you are driving, with the Rideshare Guides you will be able to determine if using your existing vehicle for rideshare driving makes sense or not.
There are essentially three options when it comes to choosing the rideshare vehicle you will drive:
- Use your existing vehicle or a vehicle you have access to
- Purchase a vehicle
- Rent or lease a vehicle
The Science of Rideshare Driving will walk you through the pros and cons of each choice so you can make an informed decision.
Ideally, you already own an appropriate vehicle and you can just put it into rideshare service.
If you need a rideshare vehicle to drive, or if you are in a position to purchase a vehicle specifically for rideshare driving – that's fantastic!
With the guidance available in the Rideshare Guides, you will be able to choose the ideal vehicle for your needs.
The RideshareGuide Team believes that the ideal vehicle specifically for rideshare driving is a used Toyota Prius with under 100,000 miles. Pick up a clean one for less than $10,000 – plan on spending $3,000 to replace the battery at 150K miles and then drive it for another 150K miles.
While the Prius is the ideal rideshare vehicle from a business perspective, it may not be ideal for your personal lifestyle.
Perhaps you already drive a leased BMW sedan and want to use the income from rideshare driving as an offset to the higher cost of enjoying a luxury car.
If you don't own a car already and don't have $10,000 to buy a used Prius, can you still be an Uber driver?
There are several options for renting and leasing rideshare vehicles.
Check out the Uber Rent A Car program and Uber Lease A Car program.
While these options may make sense for some people, it is important to understand the pros and cons before signing on the dotted line.
The Science of Rideshare Driving eBook will show you how to evaluate your personal vehicle needs and then make the best vehicle choice when you become an Uber driver.
There are a number of ways to maximize your earnings when you become an Uber driver and you will discover them all in the Rideshare Guides.
Some of the key factors that affect take home earnings are:
- Vehicle selection
- Driving for both Uber and Lyft (and perhaps others depending on your specific location)
- Picking the best time of day to drive
- Taking advantage of surge pricing
- Taking advantage of bonuses and incentives
Vehicle selection is going to be the primary factor in maximizing earnings. Because fuel is the main expense for any rideshare driver, the higher the vehicle's gas mileage, the better.
High gas mileage and low ownership cost make the Toyota Prius an ideal rideshare vehicle for maximizing profits, but you can still make money with other vehicles.
Most rideshare drivers choose to work with both Uber and Lyft. Tips tend to be higher with Lyft and both drivers and passengers tend to rate their satisfaction with Lyft higher than with Uber.
The offset to these positive factors about Lyft is that Uber controls well over half of the rideshare market in most major US cities. If you choose to drive only for Lyft you may end up sitting in the parking lot waiting for passengers.
The best time of day to drive is when "surge pricing" is likely to occur - Uber pays drivers a higher rate per mile when there is more demand for rides than the currently available drivers can handle – the increased pay or "surge pricing" serves as an incentive for more rideshare drivers to get in their cars and drive.
Many of the Pro Tips in the Rideshare Guides reveal insider knowledge for taking advantage of surge pricing.
Uber regularly offers bonuses and incentives to drivers – being aware of these income opportunities is an important part of maximizing your take home pay.
The Rideshare Guides will show you how to stay on top of Uber's current offers, and, more importantly, how to pick the ones to focus on.
You may need to convince someone that becoming an Uber driver makes sense.
Perhaps it is a significant other or maybe a family member loaning you money (you hope!) for a rideshare vehicle.
Or maybe you're just the right-brained, analytical type that needs to have all the numbers worked-out on paper before proceeding on any new venture.
Regardless of your personal situation, the Rideshare Guides will give you everything you need to put together a solid business plan.
You'll be able to project your income and expenses and then arrive at a realistic number for expected earnings.
The Earning Case Study will provide the supporting evidence for your business plan.
The fact that you are asking this question indicates that you are serious about getting results and we, the RideshareGuide team, applaud you for that.
Whether you are looking for some help getting started, or wanting to follow the shortest path to maximum earnings, we are here to help you.
Send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com and we'll get you going.
How Much Can I Really Earn as an Uber Driver?
That's the real question, isn't it?
Part of the decision about becoming an Uber driver is obviously related to how much money you can make in a day ...
... but more importantly, what is your take home pay?
You really want to know what your hourly income is after accounting for expenses
Having this number lets you compare rideshare driving to your other income earning options
If you can make more money driving for Uber than any of your other alternatives, then it makes sense to be a rideshare driver
Only you can make that decision but you can't make it without knowing how much you would make as an Uber driver
The Rideshare Business Guide books provide everything you need to determine your take-home pay, and the Earnings Case Study documents two full years of the author's daily earnings.

Drake's been getting real sporty lately. He's lifting weights, he's getting jacked, he's running (through the 6 with his WOES). He's avidly spectating at Wimbledon, he's romancing Serena Williams, he's playing softball with Hannibal Buress.
Drizzy's latest internet sports update is his "crazy lamp trick shot," i.e. kicking a soccer ball down a tennis court, totally missing the mark, and serendipitiously smashing a lamp. Then: "GOOOOOALLLL!" Warning—this is a graphic video, if you are a lamp:
Drake has also Instagrammed two clips of himself playing ping pong in the last two weeks. Shit is lit.

The single most important clause that should be included in any Employee or Contractor Agreement is the Ownership of Work Product.
Did you know that pursuant to US laws, all work (intellectual property) created by a contractor on behalf of a business is owned by the contractor absent a written agreement transferring ownership to the company/client?
Imagine paying an assistant, copywriter or graphic designer to create a program, sales page or logo to later learn the work in fact belongs to them.
The work is of no value to you if you do not own the exclusive rights to it.
Conversely, if you are a contractor that provides services to a business that results in the creation of a body of work, it is equally important to include an Ownership of Work Product clause in a written agreement that carves out a reasonable right to your limited use of the work (for instance in advertising/marketing materials).
With regard to employees, the employer does automatically own the copyright of all work created on behalf of the business; however, the employee maintains patent rights his/her ideas.
Do not overlook this critical clause in your Employee and Contractor Agreements.
