There are risks associated with this and all surgeries – for a facelift some of the risks involve nerve damage. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.

Easy DIY Dental Fixes

00:00 /

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy share some ways to treat minor dental problems. These do it yourself dentist tricks may help you when your dentist isn’t around. If you have some jaw soreness you might try sleeping on your side or back not on your face – or if that doesn’t work try massaging the area. If one of your teeth starts to get really sensitive you might want to avoid those abrasive tartar control toothpastes and go with a brand for sensitive teeth for awhile. And don’t brush your teeth too hard. If you have burned the roof of your mouth with coffee or pizza try rinsing your mouth out with salt water to speed up the healing.

Nothing is Worsa than MRSA

00:00 /

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy examine the facts about the MRSA virus. (MRSA is not a virus – Thanks Nathan) There has been a dramatic rise in the number of people infected with MRSA. In fact several NFL stars have been hospitalized over the last few years. MRSA affects mostly men. Doctors are seeing it more in healthy males who plays sports – they will get a skin cut or burn then moisture from the shower, where the bacteria lays and waits makes it easy to infect the person. If you have an abcess or cut that is infected and is not healing properly get it checked out. You don’t want to mess with MRSA. About 100,000 people are infected each year.
