IMPORTANCE OF REGULAR DENTAL VISIT


The Naija Dentist.


I know that people hate visiting the dentist. I apologise on behalf of every dentist.  Majority have anxiety and avoid such visits at all cost even routine check ups.

Reasons why you should visit the Dentist regularly?

Prevent Tooth loss

Prevention is still better than cure. Visiting your dentist regularly will enable early detection of any dental issue. This  makes it possible for the issue to be treated before it progresses. This will help you avoid the "horrible" dental pain.

Overall Maintenance

Previous procedures done like fillings or appliances given can be assessed. Dental procedures can wear out over time. This assessment will help the dentist decide if there is a need to redo the procedure before it causes any problem.

Treatment and prevention of other common dental problems

Routine visit can help with prevention or even treatment of common dental conditions that are often ignored. These are usually indicators of further health complications to come. These include bleeding gums, bad breath, periodontal problems e.t.c. Not all dental visits will cause you pain.

The mouth is the entrance to your body. I like to call it "the door". Therefore, a healthy mouth reflects an healthy you.  Visit your dentist today and it might just be me.
Nice Dentists.

Toothache is horrible, accompanied by a throbbing head, pulsating ear and eyes with sore mouth. Yes, it's that bad. Therefore, you should see your dentist as soon as possible.

There are few things you can do to achieve a short-term relief in the mean time.



Warm saline : Swishing warm saline mouth-rinse in the mouth has been proven to provide a soothing effect.

There is no overdose but ensure that you are spitting out the warm saline and not swallowing it.

New HIV strain detected; is there a reason to worry?

Image
For the first time in almost twenty years, a new strain of HIV was discovered and this made several headlines The main concern is what this means for the virus.

So, what does this mean?


HIV has a multitude of different subtypes and, like other viruses, it changes (mutates) over time.This new strain is an important discovery, but it does not signify a new public health threat. It occurs rarely and can be effectively treated with existing anti-retrovirals.Because anti-retrovirals target characteristics of HIV that are common across all different subtypes, this new finding will not affect treatment and anti-retroviral agents will still be effective as long as drug resistant mutations have not occurred. The essence of the discovery is that it enhances scientists’ understanding of the complexity of the human immunodeficiency virus and its evolution and adds detail to the already comprehensive viral picture. Having a thorough understanding of HIV is crucial in ensuring that HIV tests are effect…
