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.

Eating eggs could make you quite full, and you could get all the proteins and nutrients you need. Eating 1-2 eggs each day would make people feel full, so it is a good step to lose weight.

That is why in 1979, former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher was able to lose weight in a short period of time by eating 28 eggs a week.

Eggs has long been regarded as a high-calorie food and could cause high cholesterol. Apparently a medium egg medium only consists of 80 calories.

Eating an egg every day could provide 20 percent of the human daily consumption. After eating eggs people do not need to over-consume any other food.

A team of researchers who conduct research in the United States found that people who eat eggs have almost all the nutrients higher than those who do not consume eggs.

“The health benefits of is huge. So it is probably not an exaggeration to call it a super food. Eggs are the most nutritious foods from all food there is,” said Dr Carrie Ruxton, an independent dietitian and author of the report, as quoted from Dailymail, Wednesday (10/3/2010).

Eggs can be considered as a ’super food’ because in addition to improving health, it can also fight obesity. And according to nutritionists, eating an egg a day can lower your weight.

The study,  will be published in June in the journal Nutrition and Food Science. This study examined 71 studies and reference materials to check the nutritional composition of eggs and its role as a food.

Researchers found that eggs are not only low in calories, but also a rich source of protein and packed with essential nutrients for health, especially vitamin D, vitamin B12, selenium, and choline. Eggs are an ideal food at every stage of life and easy to cook and fun to eat.

A report also confirmed that among the protein food, eggs contain the richest essential amino acid mixture. This is very important for children, teens, young adults because the proper balance needed for growth and repair.

Certain groups who benefit by eating more eggs is the youngsters, meat-lovers and those who avoid milk.

A key finding is that the eggs are important food sources of vitamin D and can contribute significantly to increase the daily intake of vitamin D.

Low levels of vitamin D is associated with a number of medical conditions such as bone damage, cancer, heart disease, multiple sclerosis, immune disorders and problems of mental health.

Recent findings funded by the British Egg Industry Council, said that one or two eggs a day has no effect on total cholesterol for most people.

According to Dr. Ruxton, there is a real nutritional benefits when we eat eggs every day. Evidence suggests that eggs can be useful for filling, controlling weight and also for eye health.

Shortness of breath, or dyspnea, can be caused by several conditions such as lung disease, heart disease and lack of conditioning. It can also be caused by psychogenic factor. Your physician can help you establish the reason for dyspnea, and in the overwhelming majority of cases, treat it effectively.

What is shortness of breath?

For most people “shortness of breath” or “having breathing difficulties” means a sensation of difficult or uncomfortable breathing, or a feeling of not getting enough air. Medically, this is referred to as dyspnea.

Does shortness of breath mean illness?

Shortness of breath can occur in both health and disease, and its significance varies accordingly. For example, when it occurs in a healthy person walking 100 feet at the top of a very high mountain, it may signify no disease. But if the same person had smoked a pack of cigarettes a day for 20 years, the same symptoms at lower altitude may be the first sign of progressive emphysema. In healthy individuals, shortness of breath may also occur at rest for no apparent physical reason.

Shortness of breath may be appropriate or inappropriate, real or perceived; and therefore, there is no standard lay person definition of shortness of breath. Physicians use the term dyspnea to describe “an abnormally uncomfortable awareness of breathing.”

What causes dyspnea?

The issue of dyspnea comes up frequently when patients are seen in their physician’s office for specific complaints, or for a periodic physical examination. It’s the physician’s task, not always an easy one, to determine whether the dyspnea is medically important, and to recommend a diagnostic plan and a course of therapy when needed.

Dyspnea can be acute, intermittent, or chronic, and can be caused by a heart or lung problem or physical deconditioning; or it can be of psychogenic origin.

Common heart diseases causing dyspnea include coronary artery disease (the major cause of heart attacks), congestive heart failure, and conditions where heart valves malfunction. Lung problems include bronchial asthma, acute and chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and interstitial lung disease (diffuse scarring and stiffening of lung tissue). Exposure to allergens may precipitate an asthma attack, or dyspnea-producing post nasal drip; but the biggest undiagnosed culprit remains smoking.

Psychogenic dyspnea, precipitated by anxiety, panic or an irregular breathing pattern of frequent sighs (“sigh dyspnea”), is now diagnosed in increasing frequency. This is usually not dangerous, but it may be uncomfortable, and particularly hard to diagnose and treat.

Lack of conditioning is also a cause of dyspnea, especially seen in the “weekend warrior athlete.” If you are short of breath playing basketball on Sunday afternoon, do you have a disease causing dyspnea, or is this lack of conditioning?

How is the diagnosis made?

Your account of the intensity, severity and frequency of dyspnea is very important.

This, combined with a physical examination and some basic testing, may rapidly establish the correct diagnosis.

Sometimes the diagnosis is elusive. Both asthma and heart disease can be “silent.” Even lack of conditioning may be difficult to diagnose without meticulous testing. The diagnosis of psychogenic dyspnea, can be made on the basis of your symptoms, after medical causes of dyspnea have been ruled out.

For exercise-related dyspnea, we use cardio-pulmonary stress testing (CPST). This important, noninvasive test combines the familiar cardiac test with lung function testing during exercise (on a treadmill or exercise bicycle). With it, we can determine your level of cardiopulmonary fitness, and whether your shortness of breath is due to a heart problem, lung problem, deconditioning, or “none of the above.”

Treatment

Treatment of dyspnea, and its effectiveness, depends on the underlying cause. Frequently, medications are used, such as those needed to optimally control asthma, congestive heart disease and anxiety. Special lifestyle instructions may be given, such as smoking cessation and allergen avoidance. Reconditioning exercises and stress management may be advised, or you may be instructed in the proper performance of diaphragmatic breathing.

Working together with your physician, in the overwhelming majority of cases shortness of breath can be controlled or completely resolved.

Most, if not all the tools necessary to establish the cause of dyspnea is available under one roof at our practice.

Have you discovered the benefits of green coconut water as the new rage in fruit drinks? Yes it’s true, coconut water is quickly becoming the new sports drink for health conscious men and women.

There are several benefits of drinking green coconut water, the quickly new rage health drink for health conscious people. Could it replace Gatorade? There’s a real good chance it could become the new sports drink of the decade. Many athletes and celebrities swear by its benefits.

Instead of down the conventional sports drinks that are high in fructose corn syrup and coloring, many people are going for the all natural, no preservatives added, coconut water. It is called “green” because the water comes from coconuts still not ripe.

If you examine the contents label of most sports drinks, you’ll see that there are 16 grams of sugar in it. Then you look a bit more closely, and you discover there are three (3) servings in the bottle. Therefore, you have downed a whole load of sugar in one drink. Not so with green coconut water. So one huge benefit you get from this drink is little to no sugar.

Another benefit of coconut water is its extremely hydrating properties. It is much more hydrating than most sports drinks. People in other countries and Central America have been reaping the benefits of coconut water for years. Hydration is important for active people to keep them from getting cramps.

Yet still another benefit of coconut water is its high potassium content. You can eat bananas for potassium, but they have quite a bit of sugar. Coconut water is high in potassium without the high sugar content. Potassium is one of the minerals you sometimes don’t get enough of because you skip your vegetables or eat veggies with little food value to them.

Some of the claims is that coconut water has more potassium than a banana, and more electrolytes than most sports drinks. It is also a rich source of magnesium, too.

Further, you can buy green coconut water with no preservatives, too. It is an all natural drink that is healthy, nearly sugar free and full of energy giving properties.

For all this, where can you find a coconut tree with green coconuts on it? Well, you no longer have to go out of the country to find them. Most supermarkets are now stocking these delightfully healthy drinks.

Nutritionists are giving this new coconut water a high rating. They are very much in favor of the nutritional values that the sports drink brings to the general public. Currently, you can find the new drink online for around $12 to 22 for a pack of 12. It is recommended that you drink one bottle per day, especially after a good workout.

Yes, the benefits of green coconut water as a new rage in health drinks are many and one you need to try soon. The benefits far outweigh the slightly high price for the drink; however, you get far more nutrition from one bottle of this water as compared to most energy drinks you can buy. As always, eat healthy my friends. By: Howard Coffey
