The third area to consider is the role of diet and lifestyle. Now it turns out that our modern
lifestyle might not be so good for us. In fact, what we eat and how we live may really be
contributing to a sensitized nervous system. Looking at all the things like smoking, nutri-
tion, alcohol and activity levels, and seeing if there are any issues is a good beginning. And
these things can go on your plan.
Then, there’s often enormous value in exploring the deeper meaning of pain and the sur-
rounding personal story. By stepping back and looking at all the things that were happening
around the time the pain developed, many people with pain can make useful links between
the worrying period of life and a worsening pain picture. For many, recognizing deeper
emotions can be part of the healing process.
Last, but by no means least, is physical activity and function. From the brain’s perspective
getting moving at comfortable labels, without fear, and where the brain does not ‘protect
by pain’, is best. And you’ll gradually restore your body’s tissues.
So, to sum up pain, it comes from the brain and it can be retrained, and when looked at
from a whole personal broad perspective gives you a lot of opportunities to begin. So get a
helping hand if you need it, set the goal and begin!
Unit 5. San Francisco Dentist -Welcome video to new patient
Doctor Mohamed Ali and his team specialize in implant, cosmetic and general dentistry.
They are here to assist you on your journey to a healthy smile. You may be in need of den-
tal implants, cosmetic-dental procedures, or other dental procedures. Perhaps you are on
track for full-mouth rehabilitation. This attentive team is supportive, compassionate and
knowledgeable, and will help you every step of the way.
One of our advanced technology features in Doctor Ali’s office is the treatment planning
and communication software. This software is an effective and efficient tool that allows
Doctor Ali’s patients to see and understand his treatment recommendations on their own
X-rays, CT scans or digital photographs.
No more waiting for X-rays to be developed and evaluated.
During your new patient consultation, digital format radiographs are taken and immediately
imported into the software program. During your consultation, Doctor Ali will truly remain
with you, with discuss its evaluation, diagnosis and treatment recommendations and you’ll
see exactly what he sees. You’re not looking a prototype, you see your mouth on the com-
puter monitor.
A picture is worth a thousand words. Using your X-ray, Doctor Ali can demonstrate visu-
ally by drawing or highlighting directly on the image. This eliminates the confusion and
frustration of not understanding dental terms. So you can understand what Doctor Ali is
explaining.
