5 Dental Health Mistakes To Stop Making Now

Even if you think you’re doing everything right, there may be dental health mistakes you’re making every day that you’ve never considered.

Daily habits that might seem look like no big deal add up over the years, setting you up for bad breath, gum recession, and sensitive teeth in the long run—

but don’t worry, many of these are reversible or involve a simple change in your oral care routine!

Here are the top five mistakes I see all the time, along with how to fix them so you can be well on your way to better dental health.

1. Using Mouthwash
Despite what a lot of advertising would have you believe, mouthwash actually isn’t all that great for your dental hygiene.

It disturbs the natural flora in your mouth and can even be drying, thus promoting the growth of the very bacteria you’re trying to kill!

In fact, you want to nourish and promote a healthy balance of bacteria in the mouth for great breath, cavity prevention, and even overall health.

Ever heard of taking probiotics for gut health? The same principle applies for your mouth.

If you’ve been using mouthwash for a long time or have taken antibiotics at any point in your life (that’s most of us!)

you can help restore this balance by including probiotic-rich foods in your diet like cheese and taking a probiotic supplement.

2. Brushing Too Hard

Harder isn’t better when it comes to brushing. In fact, if you brush your teeth too hard, you could be causing damage to your mouth, specifically, your gums.
When you brush your teeth too hard, your gums will begin to recede up and away from your teeth.

This leaves sensitive parts of the tooth exposed, and it can also make you more susceptible to gum infections.

This problem is compounded when you’re brushing too hard with an old toothbrush. When nylon toothbrush bristles are first made,

they are rounded into little domes to make them less abrasive to your teeth, but as they wear away with use, they become sharper, like little knives.

This can cause damage to tooth structure and enamel, literally wearing your teeth away and making them susceptible to damage and cavities.

I recommend replacing your toothbrush every four weeks if you’re brushing twice a day

All of these problems are even further compounded if you’re also brushing too hard. Brushing too hard not only contributes to tooth enamel being stripped away,

it also doesn’t clean teeth effectively. When you brush hard, you usually have less control over where your brush is going,

meaning you’ll clean the outside of each tooth quickly, but you won’t get into the spaces between teeth.

3. Ignoring Pain
Mouth pain is a sign that something’s wrong in your mouth, and that should never be ignored.

While some pain can be easily soothed at home with oil pulling or painkillers, most mouth pain requires a visit to your dentist.

Some pain can be caused by an infection or abscess, which can be quite serious if not treated. Other tooth pain can come from grinding or clenching your teeth,

which should prompt your dentist to screen you for sleep apnea or another sleep breathing disorder.

Other pain, such as increased sensitivity to food temperatures, pressure sensitivity, or general dull aches in your teeth and jaw can

mean that your teeth themselves have been damaged, and to fix this, you’ll definitely need the help of a dentist.

The reason not to wait and see is simple: once the damage is done to a tooth, it never gets better. Yes, teeth do heal themselves,

but the pain is an indicator that you’re past the point of the tooth healing itself and waiting only leads to further damage.

The sooner you make an appointment, the smaller the problem will be (and the easier it will be to fix).

4. Brushing at the Wrong Times

You were always told to brush after every meal, right? Well, the truth is a bit more complicated than that.
While certain foods and drinks—especially ones high in refined carbohydrates—spur the growth of bacteria in your mouth in as little as 20 minutes,
requiring immediate brushing afterward, if you brush after other foods, especially acidic ones, you might be doing more damage than good.

Brushing your teeth immediately after consuming acidic foods can damage tooth enamel. Acidic foods weaken tooth enamel for about 30 minutes after eating,
so brushing up to 30 minutes after meals will actually strip away the enamel in its weakened state, leading to an increased susceptibility to cavities.

This is why I like to say it’s better to brush and floss before breakfast, rather than after!

Instead of brushing after eating acidic foods, swish with water or chew gum to neutralize acid in the mouth. Once 30 minutes have passed, you’re free to brush.

And as for the debate over whether to brush or floss first, it isn’t actually all that important. While there’s a case for both side, what matters is that you’re doing both.

5. Being Afraid of the Dentist!

Have you ever been scolded or felt humiliated at the dentist? Unfortunately, it’s common to not only fear the pain and discomfort of going to the dentist but also the shame—and this is simply unacceptable.
Going to the dentist shouldn’t be painful or anxiety-inducing at all…if you’ve chosen the right practitioner, that is.

Finding a shame-free dentist is one of the best investments you can make not just in your dental health, but your overall health as well since dental health impacts virtually every other system in the body.

The right dentist will take the time to explain every procedure, put you in the driver’s seat, and will put you at ease.

There should be zero tolerance for dentists who make insensitive remarks or shame their patients. The right dentist should make you feel good, not ashamed!

I'm a devoted christian. I believe in Jesus And his teachings. But what I don't seem to understand is Why he hasn't changed my Sexuality. I've prayed. Threatened to harm myself, believing he'll heal me from homosexuality. But all to to no avail.

I've fasted. 5 days dry. I've been celibate for years but I still find myself attracted to members of my gender.

I'm very close to self hate because I feel disgusted with myself. I've tried to be straight. had several girlfriends but I don't seem to be sexually attracted to them. It just doesn't work.

What do I do? Please, help me. I need a miracle. I need an intervention. Else, I'll wallow in depression.

Insults are welcomed.

Explorers:
Locals were stunned to see snow on the sand dunes in the Sahara Desert today after it snowed in a small Algerian town for the second time this year.

Children could be seen playing on the snow-covered sand dunes just outside the town, while others posed on the snow to document the rare event.

The heavy snowfall makes the sand dunes look like snow-covered Alpine mountains



Snow was last seen in the town of Ain Sefra on February 18, 1979.

Hi Onyinye

RichlyOBS:
Ladies if another woman is being rude to your boyfriend in front of you,do you step in as his girlfriend or let him handle it himself??

the reason why I am asking this,, a lady just insulted and embarrassed me inside the bus in front of my girlfriend and she saw everything that the lady was wrong but kept quiet without saying anything....

we got home and I asked her why she didn't face the woman as a girl to girl thing, as far she's my girlfriend, she should have stand for me... she said the fight was for me alone that she can't fight because of a boy who she's not yet married to.....

this is a lesson, am not going to support any girl am not yet married to in my life again....

A guy of 27 years old impregnated my 16 years old sister mean while she's about to write her waec next year.
I called the guy on phone and he said he's ready to take responsibility of the girl and she will marry her , but me I don't like it that way because she's too small to bear a child and I don't want that to happen to my sister because she's the only girl in my family.
Now the question is I want her to abort the child and focus on her education but the guy said he ready and my mom called me and said that my sister said if anything should happen to her that it's on our head.
Please I want you to post it so I can hear people's opinions on this so I can know the right thing to do because I'm I'm going crazy.

Please I need a good advice on how to follow this matter. My mom want her to suffer so she can learn her lesson but me she will bring shame to me and my family. I'm just a boy of 22 years old still on the street.

We have eight ( special ways you can salvage the situation or make these ladies learn a lesson or two for coming on a date with friends.


1. Take up her order and ignore her friend(s). Act like you don’t know them and you don’t care.

This is just what you should do in the situation; the easiest thing you can do. Just be like, “You didn’t tell me you were coming with your friends. I won’t be responsible for them. Are we going to continue with our date or move it for another day?”
That way, she’d know shit just got real. If she however thinks her friends must stay, ask her to share her food with her wonderful friends.
It’s not wickedness, you are just sticking to the original plan of the date.


2. Give her friend(s) all your attention, make them feel very important and leave your main date wondering what happened.

This is going to be vintage! Another way to make her realize she made a huge mistake by coming along with friends on a date with friends. To make it worse for her, you can even start flirting with her friends. Tell them some sweet words that are sure to pierce through your date’s heart. Go as far as taking the number of her friend(s) and make sure your girl sees it.
Don’t worry, you won’t see her friend(s) again on any date. Not even on your wedding day. And you won’t also see her number on your phone again. Your girl would do the needful. Lesson learnt, problem solved, forever!


3. Ask all of them to order to their fill, even make ‘take-away’ plans for them. Then, you run away.

This is one of the more wicked things to do to your date and her friend(s). It might look difficult to achieve because you pay at the counter before taking the food away, but I have a way you can pull the stunt.
When they come, you don’t just go to order immediately. You get familiar first. Then you ask them what they would like. Tell them to feel free and eat whatever. Even make them feel like you knew they would be coming. Ask them to make the order and that you need to either pee/answer a call…or better still, fake call and walk away to look for network. Or tell them you forgot your card in the car. Just get them to go to the counter and fool themselves.
Then, you VANISH!
Not only will your date learn the lesson, the atenu friends will learn too. Next time she won’t come on a date with friends.


4. Run as soon as you see her appear with her friend(s). Abort the date!

This one may look cowardly, but it’s a possible solution for those times when you really don’t have money to cater for anyone more than your date. When you can’t take it on, better to run away and live to fight another day.
So here is how you pull this off.
The moment you sight them from afar, put your phone for airplane mode. Find a way to run off from the other side if there is one, or just look for a way to disappear. Call her later in the night, give her an excuse, and complain that the network was fluctuating. Use that money you for spend, buy better fufu and soup. You better spend the money on yourself than on random people.
Another way to escape this situation, in case you were caught off guard, and she already appeared with her friends is to fake an ‘important’ call. Step out with your phones and wallet, disappear, switch off your phones!


5. Buy water for yourself and for all of them.

What better way to make a statement than to do something they will not recover from in years!
Buy only bottled water for all including yourself. Since you all are now having a conference, there should be no heavy meal. Water should serve the purpose! lol.


6. As soon as they arrive, buy your meal, take away, and leave them wondering where you are going.

This method is going to require you being totally mean. Just rise from your seat the moment you see them, step to the counter and order for your meal in a take away pack. Smile at them, say hello and walk out like you were not even there for a date in the first place. She will get the message without you having to say much.


7. Buy only for yourself and make them watch you.

You can as well use this as an alternative as number 6 above. Instead of buying the food and walking out, be more daring by taking the food to their table. Sit and eat away, smiling and chatting like you don’t even have a clue what’s going on in their heads.
8. Buy one meatpie and break it to all of them like you are breaking holy communion.
This is the final and most savage of them all.
Since your date has chosen to bring a friend or friends along, apply the law of diminishing returns. The more they are, the lesser your budget. Get one meatpie and break it into the number of friends present, including your date and yourself. Equal parts, well divided. Eat and be merry, there is love in sharing.
What better way to show generousity and chilvary? lol.

That’s it for this week. If you know other sweeter ways to punish girls for coming on a date with friends, please share with us in the comments below.

The Kenyan man who went viral for having a penis 10 times the size of a normal man, is finally free, after having life-changing surgery to reduce his 11lb testicles and three-foot penis that left him unable to walk, wear clothes or go to school.

Horace Owiti Opiyo, 20, from Kibigori, Kenya, first noticed a cyst on his genitals when he was just 10 years old.

It is thought to have been caused by a mosquito bite releasing larvae that developed into parasitic worms that blocked Mr Opiyo’s drainage system, resulting in his Instruments tissue swelling as fluid accumulated beneath the skin.

Teased by his classmates and unable to afford surgery, Mr Opiyo dropped out of school and became a recluse, convinced the devil had cursed him.

In a desperate attempt to help him, Mr Opiyo’s neighbour, Duncan Otieno, took photographs of his giant genitals and posted them on Facebook.

The post went viral overnight and reached the Kisumu county Governor’s wife, Olivia Ranguma, who asked a doctor to assess Mr Opiyo’s condition. Doctors at Jaramogioginga Odinga Hospital examined Mr Opiyo and diagnosed him with scrotal elephantiasis.

Mr Opiyo was finally able to have surgery to remove his massive growth.


He said: ‘Now I can run and I can play football. Now I’m free! The next step I want to take is to get an education. Who knows what will happen in the future?’
