After an organ transplant, you will need to take antirejection medications, or immunosuppressants, for as long as you have the donor organ. Because your immune system will try to destroy the new organ, antirejection medications are needed to decrease your immune system's response so the new organ stays healthy. Antirejection medications weaken your immune system and decrease your body's ability to fight infections, cancer, and other diseases.

Yes. A circumcision is not a bris. If a baby was circumcised in the hospital on the first or second day, even if someone recited prayers and blessings, that child still needs a Brit Milah because it took place before the eighth (or proper) day. A regular Brit Milah ceremony is held, but since the baby is already circumcised, a hatafat dam brit is performed. The blessings are recited, a drop of blood is drawn from the penis and the baby is named.

There are four reasons to wear an ocular prosthesis: Comfort, Cosmesis, plus continued Bony Orbital Wall, and Eyelid development. The first two reasons are of immediate importance for parent and child. Comfort is gained with a properly fitted prosthesis, (by relieving the physical stress caused by eye volume loss, and drooping of the eyelid). Cosmesis is recaptured with a lifelike appearance that is once more acceptable to you, your child and peers.

Children are prone to cavities between their teeth; tooth brushing alone will not adequately clean these spaces, and food and bacteria can build up between those teeth. You need to help your child until age 9 or so, since flossing requires a good deal of motor coordination.

A panorex X-ray allows us to find missing or extra teeth, teeth that are out of position (ectopic) or headed the wrong direction. Cysts, tumors and other abnormalities can be ruled out as well. We normally take a panorex for the first time at around age 9. If your child is a candidate for braces, a panorex is important prior to tooth movement. When your child reaches age 17 or so, a panorex allows us to check on the position of the developing wisdom teeth (third molars).

Medications can be mixed with solvents prior to incorporating into DiffusiMAX. The solvent may enhance drug release of the medication presumably by reducing the viscosity of the PLO gel. Use of the solvent may also allow for easier incorporation of the medication into DiffusiMAX. It is important when mixing a PLO gel- based prescription that the recommended amount of solvent is not exceeded. Doing so will result in a diluted final product that will be unattractive in appearance.
