Dr. Behnam Rostami loves to watch movies, and if they can make him laugh, all the better. As it turns out, watching movies – or really, doing anything – that make us laugh is extremely beneficial for our health. Recent studies have found a clear connection between certain movies and the health of the heart.

Laughing Makes Your Blood Vessels Expand Researchers examined the effects of different movie genders on viewers and, as it turns out, thrillers and action movies make the blood vessels contract, which in turn restricts blood flow. On the other hand, test subjects who watched really funny movies saw an improvement in their blood flow and a decrease in their blood pressure. In other words, their blood vessels expanded instead of contracting.

Laughing Does More Than That If you think that’s all that laughing does to your body, think again. Many scientists agree that laughing – similarly to sexual arousal – can be considered to be positive stress. This means that the heart does a good amount of work, like it does when you are frightened or very nervous, but with one big exception – the hormones associated with those negative feelings are not involved.

During continuous, genuine laughter, the body goes through an experience similar to the one induced by exercising. Other studies go so far as to suggest that laughter can help you lose weight, but that has yet to be definitively proved.

In any case, Dr. Behnam Rostami remains a big fan of comedies, and hopes that more people would watch them.

Dr. Behnam Rostami loves to take advantage of implant therapies. These solutions have vastly improved longevity compared to the implants of the earlier generations, but that still doesn’t mean that they are everlasting. That is one popular belief, but it’s unfortunately not true. That said, the quality and durability of implants are improving, and future of such therapies looks good.

Today’s Implants Compared to Past Generations

Twenty-five years ago, dental implants were still in their experimental phase, not recognized as the best course of action for most dental procedures. Today, on the other hand, they are universally accepted as the best available solution for a wide variety of dental problems.

Demographics

Older people now can legitimately dream about turning back the clock, at least from a dental standpoint. Middle-aged and retired people with dental problems are swarming dental offices to take advantage of these implants.

The Success Rate Speaks For Itself

The success rate for dental implants is over 95% these days, which is significantly better than it used to be in the early 2000’s, never mind the 1990’s or mid-1980’s. The technology is better than ever before, and that is the main reason for the extremely high success rate we see today.

Part of the Course Materials

Unlike 10 to 20 years ago, dental implant procedures are now part of the course material at the vast majority of dental schools. This is huge, because the dentists coming out of medical school are already familiar with the procedure, allowing them to learn its tricks much easier.

As an accomplished dental professional, Dr. Behnam Rostami cannot wait to see how far implants can go in terms of quality and durability.
