Plaque: What It Is


People used to think that as you got older you naturally lost your teeth. We now know that's not true. By following easy steps for keeping your teeth and gums -- healthy plus seeing your dentist regularly -- you can have your teeth for a lifetime!

Plaque: What is it?
Plaque is made up of invisible masses of harmful germs that live in the mouth and stick to the teeth.


Some types of plaque cause tooth decay.

Other types of plaque cause gum disease.


Red, puffy or bleeding gums can be the first signs of gum disease. If gum disease is not treated, the tissues holding the teeth in place are destroyed and the teeth are eventually lost.

Dental plaque is difficult to see unless it's stained, You can stain plaque by chewing red "disclosing tablets," found at grocery stores and drug stores, or by using a cotton swab to smear green food coloring on your teeth. The red or green color left on the teeth will show you where there is still plaque -- and where you have to brush again to remove it. Stain and examine your teeth regularly to make sure you are removing all plaque. Ask your dentist or dental hygienist if your plaque removal techniques are o.k.

Why are brushing and flossing important?


Regular brushing and flossing can help you:

Prevent tooth decay and cavities. Tooth decay can lead to more serious problems, such as infection.
Prevent gum (periodontal) disease, which can damage gum tissue and the bones that support the teeth, and can ultimately cause you to lose teeth.
Make it possible that your teeth will last a lifetime.
Shorten the time you spend with the dentist and hygienist and make the trip more pleasant.
Save money. By preventing tooth decay and gum disease, you can reduce the need for fillings and other costly procedures.
Prevent bad breath. Brushing and flossing rid your mouth of the bacteria that cause bad breath.
Keep your teeth white by preventing staining from food, drinks, and tobacco.
Improve your overall health.

Nosebleeds


The following tips may reduce your risk for developing nosebleeds.

Use saltwater (saline) nose drops or a spray.
Avoid forceful nose-blowing.
Do not pick your nose or put your finger in your nose to remove crusts.
Avoid lifting or straining after a nosebleed.
Elevate your head on one or two pillows while sleeping.
Apply a light coating of a moisturizing ointment, such as Vaseline, to the inside of your nose.
Limit your use of aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen and naproxen sodium, if you have frequent nosebleeds. Acetaminophen, such as Tylenol or Panadol, may be used to relieve pain.
Do not use nonprescription antihistamines, decongestants, and medicated nasal sprays. These medications can help control cold and allergy symptoms, but overuse may dry the inside of the nose (mucous membranes) and cause nosebleeds.
Keep your blood pressure under control if you have a history of high blood pressure. This will help decrease the risk of nosebleeds.
Do not smoke. Smoking slows healing. For more information, see the topic Quitting Tobacco Use.
Do not use illegal drugs, such as cocaine or amphetamines.
Make changes in your home
Humidify your home, especially the bedrooms. Low humidity is a common cause of nosebleeds.
Keep the heat low [60° (16°) to 64° (18°)] in sleeping areas. Cooler air does not dry out the nasal passages.
Breathe moist air, such as from a shower, for a while if your nose becomes very dry. Then put a little moisturizing ointment, such as Vaseline, inside your nostrils to help prevent bleeding. However, do not put anything inside your nose if your nose is bleeding. Occasional use of saline nasal sprays may also help keep nasal tissue moist.
Prevent nosebleeds in children
Keep your child's fingernails trimmed and discourage nose-picking.
Caution children not to put any object in their noses.

What Is a Healthy Weight?

A healthy weight is a weight at which you feel good about yourself and have energy for work and play, and one that does not put you at risk for weight-related diseases—such as heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, cancer, and diabetes.

But weight is only one measure of your health. People who are thin but don't exercise or eat nutritious foods aren't necessarily at a healthy weight just because they are thin. A person who is overweight according to body mass index (BMI) charts may be healthy if he or she eats right and exercises regularly.

How much you eat is not the only determinant of your weight. Your age, metabolism, genetics, and how much you exercise also play an important role in your weight, health, and risk for disease. So it's important that you avoid comparing yourself to others and that you determine the lifestyle changes you need to make to maintain a healthy weight.

Nutrition is an extremely important component of being healthy. Consistently eating a balanced diet low in saturated fats combined with whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and good fats, such as olive oil, is far better than dieting for quick weight loss and later returning to your previous eating habits.

Physical activity is key to improving your health and preventing serious illness. Regular physical activity significantly reduces the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, type 2 diabetes, obesity, anxiety, depression, and cancers of the breast, colon, and female reproductive system. 1

Only 22% of people in the United States exercise at recommended levels. 1 You should get at least 30 minutes per day of moderate physical activity 5 or more days a week.

Other things to consider about your weight include:

Your percentage of body fat, which is made up of essential fat needed for proper body functioning and stored fat for later use. Your percentage of body fat depends on genetics, lifestyle, and physical activities. In general, women have more body fat than men. There are several methods for estimating percentage of body fat.
Your body mass index (BMI), which is based on your height and weight. Your risk of weight-related diseases may increase if your weight is above or below BMI range. BMI measurements may be misleading if you are muscular or if you have lost a lot of muscle mass. To calculate your BMI, see:
Healthy weight chart for adults.
Healthy weight chart for adults (metric).
Where you store fat in your body. Fat is stored in the fatty tissue under the skin (subcutaneous tissue), in the abdominal cavity (intra-abdominal tissue), and within muscles (particularly in older adults). People who are "apple-shaped" and store fat around their abdomen are at increased risk for diseases associated with being overweight compared with people who are "pear-shaped" and store most of their fat around their hips. For information on how to assess your distribution of body fat, see calculating waist circumference.

Dietary Supplements


What are dietary supplements?
In the United States, dietary supplements are substances you eat or drink. They can be vitamins, minerals, herbs or other plants, amino acids (the individual building blocks of protein), or parts of these substances. They can be in pill, capsule, tablet, or liquid form. They supplement, or add to, the diet and should not be considered a substitute for food.

Dietary supplements are widely available in the United States in health food stores, grocery stores, pharmacies, and by mail. People commonly take them for health-related reasons. Common dietary supplements include vitamins and minerals (such as vitamin C or a multivitamin), botanicals (herbs and plant products, such as St. John's wort), and substances that come from a natural source (such as glucosamine).

Makers of dietary supplements cannot legally say that dietary supplements can diagnose, cure, treat, or prevent disease. However, they can say that they contribute to health maintenance and well-being.

People have used dietary supplements for thousands of years to help health and to treat illness. Sometimes those supplements are the basis for some of today's common medications. For example, people have used willow bark tea for centuries to control fever. Pharmaceutical companies eventually identified the chemical in willow bark that reduces fever and used that knowledge to produce aspirin.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not regulate dietary supplements in the same way it regulates medication. A dietary supplement can be sold without research on how well it works.

What are dietary supplements used for?
People use dietary supplements for many health conditions.

People often use vitamins and minerals to supplement diet and treat disease. For example, many people believe that taking vitamin C may help prevent or reduce the length of a cold.
Research on some herbs and plant products has shown that they may have some of the same effects that conventional medicines do, while others may have no effect or may be harmful. Historically, people have used herbal medicines to prevent illness, cure infection, reduce fever, and heal wounds. Herbal medicines can also treat constipation, ease pain, or act as relaxants or stimulants.
Researchers have studied some natural products and have found them to be useful. Glucosamine, for example, is often used in the treatment of osteoarthritis.
Are dietary supplements safe?
Overall, experts consider dietary supplements to be safe.

Always tell your doctor if you are using a dietary supplement or if you are thinking about combining a dietary supplement with your conventional medical treatment. It may not be safe to forgo your conventional medical treatment and rely only on a dietary supplement. This is especially important for women who are pregnant or breast-feeding.

When using dietary supplements, keep in mind the following.

Like conventional medicines, dietary supplements may cause side effects, trigger allergic reactions, or interact with prescription and nonprescription medications or other supplements you might be taking. A side effect or interaction with another medication or supplement may make other health conditions worse.
Dietary supplements may not be standardized in their manufacturing. Because of this, how well they work or any side effects they cause may differ among brands or even within different lots of one brand. The form you buy in health food or grocery stores may not be the same as the form used in research.
Other than in vitamins and minerals, the long-term effects of most dietary supplements are not known.

Communication (or Lack Thereof) Between Doctors and Patients


Do you ever leave the doctor's office feeling a little unsatisfied with the visit?

Are you ever frustrated by a conversation you've just had with the doctor? Do you ever think the doctor was outright rude?

You're not alone.

In this blog, I thought I'd try to convey the doctor's perspective.

Being a caregiver for a sick relative or loved one is a difficult and often thankless and unrewarding job. More and more, physicians are feeling the same way.

To our discredit, doctors do have the habit of doing more talking than listening. Unfortunately, this has only become worse as managed care has strictly curtailed the amount of time each patient has with his/her doctor. While doctors do try to spend as much time with their patients, this time pressure constantly forces doctors to ignore the patient's own emotional health. Truthfully, if the doctor actually spends any amount of time at all addressing issues of the caregiver's sanity and emotional well-being, you should count yourself as very lucky.

However, I can't place the blame for the lack of communication solely on the doctor. Let's face it--- we are all human. Patients (and their caregivers) are not perfect, and also contribute to the lack of communication. In one survey doctors rated 15% of their patients as "difficult." Disagreements involve everything from expecting an instant cure to demanding prescriptions.

Patient and caregiver qualities described as "frustrating" by doctors:

Do not trust or agree with the doctor. (You need to at least give your doctor the benefit of the doubt. After all, you are there for his/her advice.)

Present too many problems for one visit. (I understand you are trying to make the most out of your visit; however, please remember, there are 15 more patients waiting right behind you.)

Do not follow instructions (Again, you asking for your doctor's advice. What's the point if you don't follow his/her advice and instructions?)

Are demanding or controlling. (Doctors are there to work with you to stay healthy--- not work for you.)

Present themselves as overly helpless (You have to give your doctor some guidance in order for him/her to help you)

Make a melodrama out of every symptom (Yes, it is important to let your doctor know every symptom. However, over dramatizing each one can be counterproductive. If you do so, your doctor will not be able to gauge which symptom is more relevant in determining your illness)
Despite the common saying that the "squeaky wheel gets the grease", that's not how it tends to work with the doctor. Studies have shown that patients or families who make too many demands on the physician's time ultimately get less attention.

Check back again next time to read some communication tips to insure you are getting the most out of your visit to your doctor.

ma pleasure

congratz

i've been living my alone
trying to get you out of my life
but after all this time
i can't help myself but miss you

you're once a dream that came true
an illusion that turned to reality
but suddenly, things turned differently
the way they used to be
untill such time i have no choice but to let you go

you're the reason for my sleepless nights
coz you keep stayin' on my mind
i can't help myself from crying
coz i'm missing you so much

all the pain & sadness are bound inside my heart
all the memories are still preserve in my mind
i miss you so much
coz i can't hide the fact that i'm still inlove with you

my life will never be the same again
now that you're gone
i'll be trapped in this loneliness forever
unless a girl like you will bloom into my life again....

I thought this was a letter I would never have to write,
I hoped my tongue was something I could bite.
I've realized its just something I cannot do,
Here are my feelings, just a few.
First, I'm still so In Love with you, after all this time,
You told me the same, then left me, what a crime.
Time has passed, everyday you're on my mind,
Your love is with someone else now, what a bind.
I'm so jealous, he's the luckiest guy I know,
I can't do this friendship thing anymore, so off I go.
The pain of losing you is still fresh in my brain,
even after almost 2 years, everyday my heart feels the pain.
Will we ever be together again, i say as I sob and mope
as each day passes, I lose a little more hope.
I'll always LOVE you Amanda hold these words true
Don't hate me for this, this is what pain is making me do.
My heart is broken in so many a part,
Do I still have a place in your heart?

From my mind to my hart to the floor.
I feel empty everytime u walk out the door.
And when u come back Im not suppost to react.
Things will never agian as before

As tears of sorrow fill my eyes
I think of you and how it used to be
I only wish you would hear my cries
Screaming for you to return to me

But you refuse to listen
Too shrouded by the hatred of others
Not even wanting to start all over again
You always look beyond the happiness we had

Do you even remember what it felt like?
What it felt like to be in my arms; so sidetracked
Overcome with the feeling we shared
And all I know is that I want it back

I want to hold you in my arms like I used to
Hear you tell me that you love me once more
As I wait here all alone I don’t know what else to do
Left with a soul shattered and a heart torn

Everyday I mourn your disappearance from my life
Everyday I remember how you left me
All alone watching darkness overtake the light
Don’t you remember how it used to be?

Please, will you listen to my cries?
Just once take it into your heart
Look at me once more in the eyes
So that we won’t seem so apart

Watch as these eyes fill with the sorrow you gave
Sorrow that will forevermore consume my mind
Maybe then you’ll regret digging my grave
The grave you dug while blind...

All alone... Very little hope
Nothing left... I try not to stumble
I can’t cope...
I can only watch myself crumble
Only propped up by shreds of hope...

And as I watch as everything around me dies
I watch it all with my sorrowful eyes...

i'll add sum more

thanks

congrats friend
