AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION

The phrase "an ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure" is most certainly ap-
propriate to orthodontic treatment. Those
children who schedule their first visit to the
orthodontist by age 7 for an examination ben-
efit from an early determination of how and
when a particular problem should be treat-
ed for maximum improvement. While recog-
nition of a problem does not always lead to
early treatment, some problems can be treat-
ed in an interceptive manner. If so, early in-
tervention takes advantage of facial growth
and tooth eruption to lessen the severity of
the problem and frequently makes later com-
pletion treatment (if necessary) less time-
consuming. By addressing bad bites
(malocclusions) in a timely manner, patients
are assured that they can circumvent the
problems of tooth decary, bone destruction,
tooth loss, gum disease, and joint problems

that might otherwise attend untreated con-
ditions.
The results of orthodontic care are often
enhanced by early treatment, and that's why
the American Association of Orthodontics rec-
ommends a first visit to an orthodontist by
age seven. In a growing patient, the ortho-
dontist may be able to redirect facial growth
to help correct jaw alignment and position of
the teeth lb schedule a consultation, call our
office at 360-7700, or see us at 8362
Richardson in Commerce Township/
West Bloomfield. We embrace excellence.
Evening and Saturday hours are available.

P.S. If left uncorrected, malocclusions car-
ry the potential to adversely affect a child's
speech, general health, and self-esteem.

SPECIAL TO THE JEWISH NEWS

Want to know if you're working
out hard enough or maybe even
too hard? Just consult your
built-in exercise gauge.
"Your pulse is one of the best
fitness indicators, and it can tell
you if you're pushing your body
too hard," says Dr. John Cian-
ca, a sports-medicine expert at
Baylor College of Medicine in
Houston.
Establish a baseline heart
rate by taking your pulse every
morning for one week. Before
getting out of bed, count your
resting pulse for 10 seconds,
then multiply that number by
six. After seven days, add the
numbers together and divide by
seven to get your average rest-
ing heart rate.
Use that average rate as a
measuring stick of effort.
"If your average morning
pulse has been 50 beats per
minute and all of a sudden it
shoots up to 60 or 65, it's time to
let your body rest for a couple of
days," says Cianca.
You also may find that your
morning resting pulse rate
drops as you get in better shape.
Your heart rate also can be
a helpful gauge while working
out. Decide what kind of effort
you want (i.e., hard, aerobic),
then figure what your heart rate
should be for a 10-second incre-
ment. Either check your pulse
manually every so often or use
a heart-rate monitor, which
keeps track of your pulse
throughout the workout. Some
models even beep when you
drop below or rise above your
target zone.

Bed Wetting Woes
Five million to 7 million Amer-
ican children over the age of 6
suffer from nocturnal enuresis
(bed-wetting). It's a frustrating
problem for both parents and
children.
And it's not the child's fault.
Scientists are researching a
gene related to primary noctur-
nal enuresis in a single region
of chromosome 13.
"A child who wets the bed
does not do so on purpose," says
Hans Eiberg, associate profes-
sor at the Danish Center for
Genome Research. "We now
have scientific evidence that
many cases of bed-wetting are
caused by genetic factors beyond
a child's or parent's control."
Research has shown that if
