Sunday, July 19, 2015


Dental cavities, also known as caries, are holes in the teeth caused by tooth decay. Decay usually occurs due to a bacterial infection that causes demineralization and destruction of the hard tissues in the teeth. Tooth decay and cavities are among the world most common oral health problems. These problems are most often seen in children, teenagers and older adults.

Lots of factors can increase the risk of getting cavities, including foods that cling to your teeth for a long time, frequent snacking or sipping, poor oral hygiene, not getting enough fluoride, dry mouth, worn fillings or dental devices. Eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia can also contribute to serious dental problems due to repeated purging.

The first step toward preventing cavities and stopping existing cavities from becoming worse is to take good care of your teeth. Brush your teeth for at least 3 minutes thrice a day, in the morning and before bedtime. Floss once a day and also clean your tongue daily.

Lots of symptoms of cavities vary, depending on the type and the severity of the problem. Some common aspects are include toothache, tooth sensitivity, mild to sharp pain when eating or drinking, visible holes or pits in the infected tooth, and black, brown or white stains on the tooth’s surface. If cavities are not treated, they can lead to severe toothache, infection and even tooth loss. Some of the treatments for tooth decay and cavities are fillings, crowns and root canals.

Tooth cavities happens when the nerve is inflamed. Generally speaking this occurs due to compromised enamel which is allowing material to enter directly into the pulp. This makes your enamel weak, which eventually leads to pain and inflammation. The solution is to use both topical treatments as well as internal treatments to change the root cause of loss of minerals from your teeth.


Treatment Remedy At Home For Dry Coughs

Coughing can signify a cold, which are caused by viral infections in the respiratory tract. Other symptoms of a cold include nasal congestion and/or a runny nose. Allergies have similar symptoms, but are caused by allergens that irritate the immune system. When faced with an allergen such as pollen, the immune system creates chemicals called histamines to react to them.

It is never a fun situation when you have a persistent cough. You do not want to be that person in a quiet room during a lecture that can not stop breaking the silence with your hacking, or that person at the restaurant that makes people fling themselves over their plates to protect their food while you cough away.

Two primary types of coughs, dry and productive. A productive cough is one in which you are coughing up phlegm or mucous this is not a cough that should be suppressed, as your body needs to rid itself of the gunk that’s in your chest/lungs. While it should not be suppressed, some of these remedies will address a productive cough by including an expectorant, or something that loosens mucous and makes it easier for the body to get rid of.

Cold and flu season brings on hacking coughs that can leave your chest aching. But colds and flu are not the only problems that cause coughing. Allergies, asthma, acid reflux, dry air, and smoking are common causes of coughs. Even medications such as certain drugs for high blood pressure and allergies can cause chronic cough.
