Dr. Behnam Rostami DDS 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 is a successful dentist who leads two different private offices in California. His clientele like him for what he means for these practices as a leader, but they probably love him as a dentist a little bit more. Because of the multiple challenges the profession poses, every dentist should possess certain personal traits. These traits can put patients at ease and improve their experiences.
Good Interpersonal Skills During a diagnosis, dentists have to be educators. Patients usually prepare themselves for the worst, and one many occasions they are not wrong. The ability to tell them the truth as quickly and as sincerely as possible is extremely important. Every Dentist Should Remain a Student With the way medical fields improve almost on an almost day-to-day basis, every dentist should remain a lifelong student. New methods are being developed, old methods are getting better, and those who are not willing to educate themselves on these continual changes can be easily left behind. Compassion It’s important to have compassion for patients. Dental fear can be one of the most frightening experiences a patient can go through. Whether their fear has real implications or not (it usually doesn’t), it’s important to be compassionate. That is the single most important quality when it comes to making an extremely nervous patient feel at ease. Problem-Solving Skills Complications can and will arise, but a quality dentist knows how to handle them in the best way possible. Dr. Behnam Rostami hopes that upcoming residents have the desire to become not just good dentists, but also compassionate human beings.
