Dental Check up

After work I brought the girls to their dentist.  Both girls need to have filling and dental sealant.  Filling because they have cavity that needs to be taken care off.  Dental sealant" or "tooth sealant" refers to a plastic resin that a dentist bonds into the grooves of the chewing surface of a tooth as a means of helping to prevent the formation of tooth decay ("cavities"). The dentist did this to their wisdom tooth.  Both the girls did a great job.  Leona as she is the one who have this gag problem overall did very well. She did not need to have laughing gas.  I am so proud of my girls. 

One thing shock me after the appointment was the bills.  Even we have insurance we still end with too much bill.  For both the girls we have the bill of $125.00.  OUCH yes OUCH on my wallet. 

This is why it is very important to take good care of our teeth.  i keep telling this to the girls.  hope they will learn their lesson.  At least help mom and dad not to have too much bill to pay.

Personal Digital device

Couple months ago the girls have their yearly regular check up. I noticed now that every doctors are now keeping all the kids record in the system. This is the way now they can share important information to other doctors about the kids’ medical records. Not only this they even have their own PDA (personal digital assistance).

PDA is medical software by companies, such as Epocrates, Inc. Epocrates is a mobile and Web-based solutions that assist physicians and other healthcare professionals in answering questions during patient consultations and medical references help prevent drug dosing or drug interaction error, which are among the leading causes of medical errors.

If you looking for one, you can find and buy your own PDA or free medical palm software at http://www.epocrates.com. The prices are surprisingly cheap. I thought it is expensive device but it is not.

Every doctor, practitioner or even nurses should have one of this. This should be a mandatory for them to have. I do believe that there are doctors prescribing wrong dosage to their patients that cause negative effect on them.
