Show 6 TIMPANOGQS TIMES- - July 21, 2010 Room Service Now Available to All Patients at American Fork Hospital Patients at American Fork Hospital will no longer be surprised by what comes on their meal trays each day. That's because they can now order whatever they'd like during the day and evening from the hospital's new room service menu. Between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., patients get to choose their meals from a menu of more than 100 made-to-ord- er items for breakfast, lunch and dinner. After reviewing the restaurant-like menu, they dial the room service number and place their order with a room service operator. The food is then prepared fresh and delivered to patients within 45 minutes. "We're very excited to begin this service for our patients," said James Tanner, Food and Nutrition Services manager at American Fork Hospital. "Our team has been working for a long time now to prepare for this new program, which will really help us provide an added level of care for each patient here at the hospital." Tanner personally took about 30 phone orders on Wednesday when the program began. He enjoyed interacting with each patient who called, something he normally doesn't get the chance to do. Top menu items of the day were made-to-ord- er omelets, roast turkey, grilled salmon, roast beef, quesadillas and fresh grapes for dessert. "If you counted the grapes as a dessert, they were the number one jtem ahead of cheesecake and lemon meringue pie," said Tanner, adding special menus have been developed for anyone who has dietary restrictions as well as for pediatric patients. American Fork Hospital is the first Intermountain Healthcare facility in Utah County to offer room service to all patients. Utah Valley Regional Medical Center began room service on its MotherBaby unit in March and patient survey results are already showing it was a good decision. In February of this year, 28 percent of moms on the unit rated the food service as excellent. That number is now at 70 percent. "If patients can eat what they want when they want it, they will eat more and that helps their whole health status as well as their mental and emotional well being," said Laura Watson, region director of Patient Support Services.

Pholo courtesy of Timpanogos Times Toothbrush Can be Blamed for Recession by Chris M. Jolley, DDS The public has blamed the economic recession on a number of entities, but gingival recession pulling away of the gums) can be blamed on a list of causes. Brushing too hard. Especially in a scrubbing manner, brushing too hard scratches the gums. Brushing too little. A lack of cleaning the teeth, either from not brushing or flossing enough, leads to bacterial build-u- p on the teeth, which irritates the gums and causes the bone to melt away. Eating disorders, such as bulimia, which is self-induc-vomiting. Dipping tobacco erodes the mucous membrane lining (the inside of the cheek) and over time causes recession. Tooth grinding. People don't usually think of teeth as flexible, but as you grind your teeth they flex at the neck of the tooth, which chips away microscopic pieces of the tooth and leads to gum recession. Very crooked teeth. The tooth sticks out sideways where there is no gum and can easily recede. Adult orthodontic movement of teeth (braces). Piercing in the lip or tongue that wear away the gum by rubbing against it. A sensitivity to Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), an ingredient in most commercial toothpastes to make the toothpaste foam up. You may feel you have no control over the economic recession, but there is a lot you can do to prevent gingival recession. 2010 CONCERTS IN THE PARK The 2010 season for Concerts in the Park began on June 6.
