Inflammation of the gums or in medical term is called gingivitis, usually it is caused by dirty teeth. Gingivitis may also be caused due to errors in brushing teeth. Outside of these two causes, there are still secondary causes other. But clearly, lack of dental hygiene is absolute beginning gingivitis.

Without realizing it, some people think little sores and other oral cavity diseases such as bad breath and bleeding gums to cavities. Sprue by many people known as the wounds on the mucous membranes in the mouth. Typically, the wound in the mouth area is not within. If it is not accompanied by complications due to infection by more virulent bacteria, sores will heal themselves without a trace. The infection usually begins with the appearance of fluid-filled bubbles in the mouth. This bubble could burst and form a wound that will feel pain. In fact, recent research indicates a strong link between the accumulation of bacteria in the oral cavity with other severe illnesses, like diabetes, heart attacks, blood infections, until about babies with insufficient weight. Gingivitis is recognized to be the main factor cases of teeth and tooth supporting tissue damage. The longer plaque and bacteria that resides in the teeth that will cause inflammation of the gums is called gingivitis.

That gingivitis gingivitis medical term is a state in which there is a change struktual the gums. Marked by a change in shape and color of the gums. Even so, if left unchecked, this mild inflammation can develop into periodontitis. This means, inflammation around the teeth. At this stage of gum chipped teeth and form pockets of infection. As a result, the immune system to fight against the bad bacteria as the widespread and growing plaque around the gums. If this is not addressed, bone teeth, gums, and teeth buffer network will be destroyed. The teeth will soon be dated or revoked. You certainly do not want this to happen in your mouth, if this happens to you, you should go to the dentist immediately to have it checked.

Factors Causes and Symptoms
Gingivitis (gum inflammation) can occur at any age. Usually, a person Hygiene factors are critical. There are several factors that can cause gingivitis. Among other things, smoking, hormonal changes in women, diabetes, stress, cancer, AIDS, genetic factors, malnutrition, and drugs. Some medications such as antidepressants and some heart medications can cause inflammation of the gums because of the reduced flow of saliva, which actually has a protective effect on teeth and gums. In addition to severe factors such as stress, hormonal changes, diabetes, and genetics, inflammation of the gums can happen so light as food and hot drinks. But the factors that are more common is someone Hygiene factors and errors in the brush.

The cause of gingivitis is most common in the stacking rocks on the tooth from food scraps that are not cleaned. Coral tooth comes from food scraps that are not cleaned, so there is an accumulation and become rock. If the plaque remains attached to the teeth for more than 72 hours, it will harden and form tartar. Gingivitis is also found in many people who use fake teeth and never noticed the cleanliness fact. Moreover, if the false teeth were made of coarse material, so there is likely to injure the gums, causing inflammation.

Inflammation of the gums can also cause infection through the blood vessels and damage to human organs like heart, lungs, brain, and eyes. If the infection went down to the heart or the so-called percarlitis or inflammation of the lining of the heart. If the infection went up into the lungs can cause TB disease. If you go down to the eye vision problems can occur. And if the infection went up to the brain that can cause meningitis.

There are two kinds of symptoms of inflammation of the gums, symptoms of primary and secondary symptoms. The primary symptoms are marked by the swelling of the gums. As a result the head felt dizzy and feverish. While secondary symptoms characterized by pain when touched or exposed to the gum toothbrush. As a result, the head feels dizzy or commonly referred to as migrants. In the primary symptoms, the gums will appear red when the gums have a natural color pink.

In addition, swelling of the gums and the gums become more flexible than normal. As a result, the gums are no longer attached to the teeth so the dirt easier entry. If people brush their teeth or eating, often bleeding gums and gums become more sensitive. In addition patients will also complain about the smell of mouth, especially in the inflamed gums. Bleeding gums often make sufferers reluctant to brush his teeth by causing illness, it causes plaque and food scraps accumulating thus worsening the condition of gingivitis. In cases of severe gingivitis, then at the time, especially during the morning wake up pillow is packed with blood, and especially if the patient breathing during sleep through the mouth.

Diagnosis and Treatment
Diagnosis is established based on symptoms and physical examination results. If found conditions inflamed gums red, swollen and bleed easily then it could be said if he was hit gingivitis. If the patient’s has symptoms which has been mentioned above, he certainly has affected gingivitis.

Gingivitis, or inflammation of the gums if not treated will become severe and spread to the teeth resulting in tooth loss. The situation is called periodontists, which is a further stage of gingivitis, with inflammation of the gums that is more severe. Medical conditions that cause or worsen gingivitis should be addressed.

If the cause is drugs, excessive gum growth should be removed surgically. If there is a deficiency of vitamin C, vitamin supplement provided. As for cases caused by accumulated tartar, treatment will be done by cleaning the tartar. Just sprayed with warm water and given antibiotics to patients who have a fevere. In addition the doctor usually will also give mouthwash to kill germs and bacteria found in the mouth.

Although this disease can be healed within 2 to 3 days but is highly recommended to patients to get to the dentist to perform scaling or tartar cleaning the interval between 3-6 months. Scaling addition, patients can also do scerentase, namely cleaning germs that can cause gingivitis contained in the root of the tooth. Because the inflammation will spread fear and cause a condition where the patient can not chew food with his teeth. Because if not treated immediately feared would be another disease like periodontists more dangerous.

Even so, toothbrush remains the most important element to prevent this disease. Because simply by brushing your teeth twice a day for brushing your teeth too often it will damage the tooth enamel. Also recommended using a fluffy brush and brush your teeth carefully, not haphazard and short.

Having a strong, healthy, and white teeth is the desire of every person. However, if the teeth have started porous or cracked, it was the first sign of unhealthy teeth. Then the question is how to overcome it?

Dental health is very important in terms of aesthetics and health. Teeth can make a person more confident. Meanwhile, dental problems can also cause pain. In fact, the pain is not only the teeth, but at around the mouth, face, sometimes even until the entire body.

The most common problem that appear is rotten teeth. .Almost all dental problems originated from thinning the teeth. Rotten teeth start at our mouths in acid conditions.

Rotten teeth is damage to the tooth structure which affects the email (hard coating that protects teeth) and the outer layer of teeth, which continue to spread in layers in the teeth (dentine and pulp). This damage can continue to spread until the layers in the teeth of the dentin and pulp.

Rotten teeth caused by plaque (food scraps) that are not cleaned. Plaque that will be a gathering place for microorganisms (germs or bacteria) that emit acidic substances. Issued plaque acid, will eventually erode the soft layer on the teeth emails causing thinning the teeth.

The factor which affects on tooth thinning are micro-organisms, the substrate is carbohydrate (as sucrose). This substrate to produce acid which in turn will damage the teeth. Thinning the teeth is also affected teeth vulnerable.

The last factor that affects rotten teeth is the time. The evidence suggests that the existence of these three factors namely the substrate, fragile teeth, and bacteria does not automatically lead to tartar. However, three factors must occur in a long time for the occurrence of dental caries that added time as the fourth circle.

All these factors occur simultaneously and cause rotten teeth. The existence of thinning can lead to tooth cavities, the teeth become fragile, sensitive teeth, and tooth decay in a tooth made of black, could even lead to tooth loss or toothless.

Thinning teeth can also cause infections and if left standing, brittle teeth that can not be saved.

One way to avoid rotten tooth is brushing teeth regularly, to clean the plaque and use the right toothpaste. Then, to strengthen the vulnerable condition of the teeth you can use special toothpaste that contains active fluoride.

Brush your teeth should be done in a timely manner, besides when bathing, but you should also do it after breakfast and before bed. With proper dental care, dental care activities can make the teeth grow healthy and strong without fear of porous.

Human longevity is not just affected by how well your genes are, but also how well you live your life. Researchers have found a way to eat, move and manage stress that determines how long people live.

A new study conducted on 20,000 people in the UK and has been published in the British Medical Journal, shows that one can reduce the risk of stroke by 50 percent. Just by doing four things, which is active for 30 minutes a day, eating fruits and vegetables, and avoiding excessive smoking and alcohol.

People can reach the age of 100 with a healthy lifestyle. However, Thomas Perls of Boston University School of Medicine, believes that with the assumption that puts genes aside, there’s nothing stopping you living up to the age of 90 years.

Here are 10 habits Perls used to calculate how long a person can survive, as reported by USNews, Tuesday (9/3/2010).

1. Do not retire.
Although already in the retirement age does not mean you can no longer work. “Evidence shows that in a society where people suddenly stopped working, the incidence of obesity and chronic disease increases after retirement,” says Luigi Ferrucci, director of the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging.

2. Floss Teeth Every day
This can keep the arteries (blood vessels) remain healthy. Studies from New York University in 2008 showed that flossing every day can reduce the number of bacteria that cause gum disease in the mouth. These bacteria can enter the bloodstream and trigger inflammation in the arteries, and increases the risk of heart disease.

3. Always move
“Sports is the only way to stay young,” said Jay Olshansky, a professor of medicine and aging researcher at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

Study after study has recommended that the benefits of exercise to improve mood, mental acuity, balance, muscle mass, and bone. No need to exercise at the gym, just by simply walking around the neighborhood for 30 minutes a day.

4. Eat high-fiber cereal for breakfast
Whole wheat benefited especially in the morning can help maintain stable blood sugar levels throughout the day. According to a study conducted recently by Ferrucci and colleagues, people who do this can prevent  diabetes, which could accelerate aging.

5. Sleep at least 6 hours a day
“Sleeping is one of the most important functions for our bodies, our body regulates and heal cells when we are asleep,” Ferrucci said.

6. Consumption of whole foods, not supplements
Evidence strongly indicates that people who have blood that is rich in nutrients, like selenium, beta-carotene, vitamins C and E, has a longer life. But there is nothing to prove that taking supplements can provide anti-aging benefits.

“There are more than 200 different carotenoids and the 200 different flavonoids contained in a tomato,” Ferrucci said. This chemical is beneficial to the body other than known nutrients such as lycopene or vitamin C. Avoid white foods (nutrient-lacking white food) such as bread, flour and sugar. And switch to fruits, vegetables, and whole wheat bread.

7. Reduce the neurotic (nerve pressure)
A better way to cope with stress is yoga, exercise, meditation, tai chi (take a deep breath in for a while). While in the other hand daydreaming, eating chips in front of the TV, partying and drinking to much alcoholic is bad for the body.

8. Live like Seventh Day Adventist
Americans who define themselves as the Seventh Day Adventists, have a life expectancy average of 89 years, about a decade longer than the average American.

They appreciate the body by not smoking, consume alcohol or pamper your body with sweet foods. They are usually vegetarian and eat fruits, vegetables, nuts, and do many sports. They are also very focused on families and communities.

9. Being a creature that used to it
According to Olshansky, people tend to live the old days with a strict routine, eating the same food and doing the same types of activities throughout their lives. Sleep and wake at the same time each day is one good habit to keep the body in a stable equilibrium.

10. Stay socially connected
Have social relationships with friends or loved ones is key to avoiding depression, which can lead to early death, particularly common to a widow and an elderly widower.

Some psychologists even think that one of the greatest benefits to be obtained from the parents exercise a strong social interaction, a walk with friends or join a training class.

At one time, doctors automatically treated all sore throats with antibiotics, both to cure the infection and to prevent dangerous complications such as rheumatic fever. Now, doctors are much less likely to prescribe medication because the overuse of antibiotics has led to an increase in antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria. What’s more, antibiotics such as penicillin do little to hasten recovery from strep throat or to reduce signs and symptoms, and they don’t prevent infections from recurring. Be sure your doctor performs a rapid strep test before prescribing any antibiotic for a sore throat.

If your sore throat is caused by Streptococcus, your family doctor will probably prescribe penicillin, taken by mouth for 10 days. Another antibiotic, called erythromycin, can be used if you’re allergic to penicillin. If your sore throat is caused by different bacteria, your doctor may prescribe another type of antibiotic.

Warm or cool mist may help you feel more comfortable by soothing the swollen air passages. It may also relieve hoarseness. However, don’t let your room become uncomfortably cold or very damp.
Use a shallow pan of water to provide moisture in the air through evaporation if you don’t have a humidifier. Place the pan in a safe location where no one will trip on it or fall into it.

Aspirin gargles may ease the soreness. (There is little research evidence that confirms this. However, it is a popular treatment and may be worth a try.) Dissolve some soluble aspirin in water and gargle for 3-4 minutes. You can do this 3-4 times a day. Spit out the aspirin after gargling.

Contact your doctor if your sore throat persists for more than three days or if you have any other concerns. You may have a bacterial infection and benefit from antibiotic or other treatment. Also, if you have an accompanying earache, call your doctor. See a doctor immediately if the sore throat symptoms suddenly cause your voice to change to what is called “a hot potato” voice. This muffled tone sounds as if you have hot French fries in your mouth and cannot fully enunciate.

Others swear by gargling with chili pepper (yes, chili pepper!) Capsaicin, the ingredient in chili pepper that makes them hot, also numbs the throat. Mix ½ tsp. dried chili or cayenne pepper in a few ounces of water and gargle. Just like mom used to say, gargle with salt water (½ tsp. mixed with 4 oz warm water) every few hours or as needed.

If antibiotics are used, a 10-day course of oral penicillin (or a single dose of intramuscular benzathine penicillin G) is still the treatment of choice for GAS pharyngitis, because of its proven efficacy in eradicating the organism and preventing subsequent rheumatic fever, its safety, narrow spectrum and low cost. Twice-daily dosing (250 mg of phenoxymethyl penicillin in children, 500 mg in adults) is as effective as three- or four-times-daily dosing and is now the preferred regimen. Regimens using broader-spectrum antibiotics have comparable bacteriological and clinical cure rates with shorter courses, but are not recommended, as they promote resistance, are more expensive and have more side effects, particularly gastrointestinal.

Avoiding close contact with ill people can help you from getting a throat infection. Cold viruses appear to be more readily transmitted than streptococcal infections. Only about 25% of family members exposed to strep develop strep throat. Usually a person with strep throat becomes noninfectious within 24 hours after the first antibiotic dose. The incubation period (the time between exposure to strep germs and onset of illness) is usually 2-5 days. Children should stay home from school and day care during infectious periods.

There are a wide variety of possible problems that one can have with the digestive system. They may include a number of organs. Here we are discussing a basic sluggishness, weakness or inability to digest and / or assimilate our food nutrients. Symptoms might be bloating, flatulence, frequent burping, discomfort after eating, pain in the abdominal area. Ulcers and gastritis will require more specific instructions.

SOME POSSIBLE CAUSES

1. Hereditary weaknesses in the digestive organs. This does not mean that you are doomed to suffer. You can learn how to live wisely and not suffer at all from such a problem.
2. Poor dietary habits which have weakened our digestive system.
3. Nutritional deficiencies.
4. Blockages in the spinal nerves, which regulate the functioning of the digestive organs.
5. A lack of digestive enzymes and / or friendly bacteria in the intestines.
5. Emotional tension, which is affects these organs.

EFFECTIVE NATURAL SOLUTIONS

1. Eat properly and at regular times of the day, so that your digestive system can prepare itself.
a. Do not eat between meals.
b. Eat only when hungry.
c. Do not eat again until the previous meal has been digested.

2. Do not drink liquids with the meal. They dilute the digestive juices.

3. Follow the guidelines for proper food combining, especially concerning not eating sweet fruit with or after the meal.

4. If you have serious problems, then eat only one food at each meal for a period of time.

5. Do not eat food cold from the refrigerator.

6. Chew slowly making your food a liquid in your mouth before swallowing.

7. Garlic and lemon aid in the digestion of vegetables and proteins. (Watch out if you have an active ulcer).

8. Occasionally fast or eat only one food (apples, peas, watermelon, grapes, brown rice) for a few days. This will help your digestive system to rest and detoxify and revitalize itself.

9. Drink hot or warm water between meals (at least 3 hours after the meal and 15 minutes before).

10. Herb teas often help: mint, chamomile, anise, garlic.

11. Make sure that you have one or more bowel movements everyday.

12. Engage in some light activity after eating before lying down to rest.

13. Get plenty of daily exercise and take walks in nature if at all possible.

14. Never eat when emotionally upset. Do some breathing or relaxation first and then eat.

15. Learn to massage your own abdomen with shiatsu or “ambuko” massage. (Be sure that you do not have appendicitis)

16. Massage the soles of your feet where there are the reflex points for the various digestive organs. You can use a foot roller or round bottle to roll the bottom of your foot on in order to stimulate these points.

17. Spiritual Healing is especially beneficial. Place your hands on your abdominal area and send light, love and healing energy through your hands to your organs and yourself.

18. Harmonize your emotional life by changing beliefs and attitudes through reading, self-analysis, meditation, prayer and group work.

19. If your liver or gall bladder is sluggish you can use a castor oil pack to stimulate your liver, gall bladder, stomach and small intestines. (This method is described by Edgar Cayce in various books.)

20. Consult a yoga teacher for specific exercises, which relax, tonify and rejuvenate the organs of digestion, assimilation and excretion.

21. Do deep relaxation daily and contact the peace in the center of your being.
