Genetics is also a key factorinthedevelopmentof gum disease, with small dogs being the most at risk. Because home dental care may not be sufficient to prevent tooth loss and gum diseaseinthesedogs,annual dental cleanings by a veterinarian are strongly recommended.

Cats also commonly develop tooth resorption lesions, a painful condition thatlooksandfeelsalotlike a cavity However, unlike humancavities,theselesions aren’t because of poor hygiene.

“What happens is the cat s body degrades the enamel and dentin — the hard layers of the tooth — which can lead to infection within the tooth,” Taylor said. “There is no known underlying cause at this time.”

The most effective athome dental care is regular toothbrushing.

Toothbrushing is the gold standard, but to be effective it should be done daily or every other day,” Taylor said. “Even three to four swipes on each tooth can have a huge impact on dentalhealth.

“Your veterinarian can help guide you in this athome care when the pet is seen for annual dental cleanings and treatment,” Taylor said “I typically recommend starting with toothbrushing, a water additive and a daily dental chew.” With proactive care at home and regular veterinary visits, pets can avoid dental disease and enjoy comfortable,happyandhealthylives free from tooth-related concerns.

ble resource for the constant assessment of my health, that can be reviewed from my iPhone, oranyofthefiveiPadsthat I have about me My medical concerns overrule my need for digital security, but since I religiously use a Virtual Private Network, or VPN, and a strong anti-virus program, I have some semblance of security whichreallyeliminatesmy concerns. In the sharing option, being able to see

my official medical records, like immuniza-

tions, doctors orders or nursing notes laboratory panel results from the past 30 days, or the past 12 months, it’s extraordinary to determine from my blood draw, the results of whether something is ‘In Range,’or ‘Out of Range’ (whetheritbeloworhigh). In selecting ‘All Records,’ you can see your medical providers procedures performed with the appropriate notes, any conditions of current note, medication records that have been ordered or changed,clinicalvitalsthat are taken at the doctor's office that are associated withthespecificvisit.

TheAppleWatchisan incredible device for tracking physical activity including step counting, standing (minutes/hours), walking/running distance, cardiofitness,andsomuch more.

I’ve been wanting to track sleep records for a while now, so I did some quick research. It can be easily tracked via the AppleWatch,butIrecharge mySeries9watchatnight. Ididn’twanttobuyanother expensive watch, but soon discovered that the AppleWatch SE 3, also tracks sleep, and it only cost$249. Ijumpedatthe chance, and came to find outthatitdetectsabnormal readings while a user is sleeping, especially in regards to sleep apnea. At the top of theAppleWatch App, you see the ‘All Watches’tab,whichmeans morethanonewatchcanbe pairedtoaphone. Sowith theSE3watch,Inowwear it at night, while my daytime watch recharges. After each sleep episode it recordsasleepscorebased on duration, bedtime, and

any interruptions in the sleep Sleep highlights notes include your heart rate, respiratory rate, average time of sleep over the past week, and the Stages of a Sleep episode including Awake REM Core,andDeepSleeptime.

Apple Heath also trackshearing,mentalwell being, nutrition, respiratory, symptoms, and vital records. Mobility records walking aspects such as walking asymmetry, walkingspeed,steplength, steadiness, cardio fitness, and double support time, a sort of gait judgement that the portion of the mobility sectionmaintains.

Oneothercategoryof Apple Health I appreciate is Medications which I started entering as I organized my weekly medications. As I started populatingtheinfoIstarted to notice drug-drug interactions, which are designated as Critical, Serious, and Moderate; as well as drug-food interactions I used to use a briefing sheet that I prepared, but it became tedious to maintain although it looked cool, and medical professionals were amazed when it was presented with my entire medicalhistoryonasingle page.

If I were to make a suggestionforacategoryto includeintheAppleHealth app it would be Family Health History, which is very important in predicting trends I had the sectiononthemedicalbrief that I had prepared prior, andatarecentconsultfora colonoscopy, but when filling out new patient paperwork the Apple Health app, with my medical provider's

information accessible, it hadallofmyimmunization dates, surgical procedures, illnesses, all of that information at my fingertips. There are third-party family history apps that work,butitisjustamatter of time until it's incorporatedintheAHapp. Another little ChristmaspresentthatIafforded myself this season was a Pulsetto vagus nerve stimulator Iwasskeptical atfirst,butsoonfoundthat it was very helpful in reducing stress levels, and my sleep has greatly improved. Withinthefirst week,thetimeittookmeto fallasleepdroppedbyover 10percent,andatwake-up my awareness was remarkable I’ve also noticed my need for naps has greatly reduced, and my attention to tasks has increased. ThePulsettois alittlepricey,butIfeelit's worth it, and there is a yearly subscription but for those who are willing to go outside the box, the benefitsoutweighthecost.

using the Pulsetto I used it whileworkinginmyhome office, then came up with the idea of wearing it as I sleep in bed. Since the device resets a session automatically, I felt the benefits of using it while I sleep, my blood pressure has continued to retreat. I try to use it everyday, but I’ve found in my gaps of disuse, that my BP wanes away from its prime, so there may be something to thetheory

TheAppleHealthapp, to see the results, takes consistencyinmaintaining daily entries, which is best for seeing trends For devicesthatuseBluetooth, it's a breeze to step on a scale,getyourbloodsugar, temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, etc , and have all that information automaticallylogged. And even if your devices are standalone it s just a matter of self-input which takesjustalittlemoretime, but is just as beneficial to see if your BP is elevated, or in hypertension stage 1 or 2, or if you are in hypertensivecrisis. It’san excellent resource for following the progress of family members, especially those who can be a little stubborn, but have great meaning to families as the patriarch or matriarch, being the glue that holdseveryonetogether
