Please sir, I am having swell in my upper gum and pain in that particular tooth.

My front tooth

Good day sir/ma, you can visit a dentist closer to you for a better assessment. It must have been as a result of a trauma to the teeth or there's a decay. Whichever one it is, something needs to be done to take care of the swelling and pain. Hope this helps

I hired a lady last week Monday and fired her on Friday same week. I concluded she was not ready yet.

This lady came almost 2 hours late for interview without communicating her reason. If she was going to be late, she should inform the interviewer. Red flag.

I ignored that and decided to proceed with the interview. I decided not to conclude on her based on the interview outcome. I love giving people chances.

I offered her the job, she was excited. She was sent an offer letter which she accepted. On resumption date, this lady came late for work. First day at work. I was like 'Is this 24 year old lady innocently naïve or what?".

On Friday last week, this lady came to work by 10.55am. He work time is 8.00am, and she is an office admin. I was on my seat and sighted her walking in, I had to call her and told her to go back home, and that was it.

By the way, she lives like 15 minutes away from the office, and her route is always against traffic.

I wouldn't know when she resumed from Tuesday to Thursday because I came quite late on those days due to field engagements. When I resumed, I met her sleeping twice. After that, she abandoned her work and stepped out to answer a phone call for almost 1 hour.

My experience with this lady made me understand that a lot of people looking for work are not ready for/to work.

ES

As if that's not enough, they would be doing the work as if they are doing you a favour. And when they decide to leave, they won't mind burning bridges. A generation that deserves work-life balance that lacks basic work ethics

Enjoyment is relative. It means different things to different people.

When successful people tell you the secrets of their success, most of us cannot 'stomach' it. Their lifestyle is directly opposite what you expect to hear. Their secrets are weird and most of us, 99.9999...% of us can't do it!

Seven months into the coronavirus pandemic, more than 20 million people have been infected across the world, data from worldometers.info revealed.


The new coronavirus disease said to have emanated from a local Wuhan market in China last December has spread to over 200 countries and has claimed over 750,000 lives.

The virus has spread to all seven continents, except Antarctica which has a population of between 1,000 and 5,000 depending on the season.

But despite reporting at least a confirmed case of the virus, 24 countries are yet to report a single death, according to data from worldometer, the platform which gives real time statistics on the outbreak.
Among them are Pacific and Caribbean Island nations, popular tourist destinations in normal times, which have managed to keep the contagion at bay thanks to their isolation and remoteness.

Others are in Africa, Asia and the Americas.

Here are the 24 lucky countries·

1. The Faroe Islands
Despite lying 300km north of Scotland in the middle of the Atlantic, the Faroe Islands has not managed to avoid the reach of the coronavirus outbreak. But its method of mass-testing, tracing and quarantining suspected cases has paid off in a big way.

The Faroe Islands is the only European country that has not recorded any coronavirus deaths as of August 13, according to worldometer.

It is also one of the countries leading the way in testing in percentage term, with almost 40 per cent of its nearly 50,000 inhabitants screen so far.
The COVID-19 pandemic reached the Faroe Islands, an autonomous territory of Denmark, in March. About 339 persons have been infected as of Thursday.

2. Mongolia
Mongolia shares borders with China but, surprisingly, is yet to report a fatality.

About 293 cases have been reported in the country but all were imported – not a single infection inside the country.

More than 80 per cent of the cases – 269 – have recovered. Only 24 active cases with one serious patient remains in the country of more than three million people. About 41, 584 persons have screened for the virus so far.

Many Mongolians attribute this low infection rate to several factors: clean air, and a steady diet of natural, free-range meat and milk.

3. Eritrea
Eritrea, in East Africa, is one of the most isolated countries in the world, but it did not escape the pandemic.

The first case was reported on March 21, and, as of the time of reporting, there are 285 confirmed cases in the country, of which 248 have recovered.

No death has been recorded and no seriously sick patient – making Eritrea one of the few African nations yet to report a single fatality.

4. Cambodia
With only 268 confirmed cases and zero reported deaths, Cambodia has one of the world’s most enviable records for containing the virus.

The Southeast Asian nation has only one critically ill COVID-19 patient.

About 75, 000 of the country’s over 16 million population have been tested so far.

5. Gibraltar
Authorities in Britain’s tiny enclave of Gibraltar, can feel proud of their response to the coronavirus pandemic, as not a single life has been lost due to Covid-19.
Only a few cases have been reported from the country’s a little over 33, 000 population.

Worldometer placed Gibraltar at 183rd in its table of worst affected countries.

6. Seychelles
Seychelles, an island nation attained virus-free status after the Health Ministry announced full recoveries as of mid-May.
Of the 127 cases reported in the country, 126 have recovered remaining only one active infection.

Home to numerous beaches, coral reefs and nature reserves, Seychelles, an archipelago of 115 islands in the Indian Ocean, off East Africa, has a population of nearly 100,000.

7. Bhutan
Bhutan has been largely shielded from coronavirus but on Tuesday, the remote Himalayan kingdom in Asia famous for measuring gross national happiness went into lockdown for the first time.

The country of nearly 800,000 people between India and China has recorded just 113 infections and zero death.

8. French Polynesia
43 new cases of COVID-19 have been confirmed in French Polynesia since August 7, bringing the total number of infections to 112.

French Polynesia, an overseas France territory with a population of over 280,000 has reported zero fatality.

9. St. Vincent and the Grenadines
Simply known as Saint Vincent, the Anglo-Caribbean country of several islands has reported no coronavirus death.

The country has tested about 22,778 of its over 110,000 population and found only 57 infections of which 52 have recovered with only five critically ill.

10. Macao
Of the 215 countries or territories infected with coronavirus, Macau – 195th in overall ranking – has already tested more than 4,000 of its over 650,000 populace and discovered 46 cases. All healed. The vast majority of cases were imported.

Macau, an autonomous region on the south coast of China, across the Pearl River Delta from Hong Kong has reported no deaths.

Below are other countries yet to report a single fatality:
Saint Lucia: Total Cases – 25; Tests so far – 4, 274; population – 183, 723; COVID-19 Ranking – 198th.

Timor-Leste: Total Cases – 25; Tests so far – 4, 236; population – 1, 321, 156; COVID-19 Ranking – 199th.

Is this a do or die affair?

On more serious note, may be he should have been suspended and investigated if the allegations against him are weighty.

Mouthwash, also called oral rinse, is a liquid product used to rinse your teeth, gums, and mouth. It usually contains an antiseptic to kill harmful bacteria that can live between your teeth and on your tongue.

Some people use mouthwash to fight against bad breath, while others use it to try to prevent tooth decay.

Mouthwash doesn’t replace brushing your teeth or flossing in terms of oral hygiene, and it’s only effective when used correctly. It’s also important to understand that different product formulas contain different ingredients, and not all mouthwashes can strengthen your teeth.

How to use mouthwash
Product directions may vary according to which mouthwash brand you use. Always follow package instructions over what you read in an article.

Here are the basic instructions for most kinds of mouthwash.

1. Brush your teeth first
Start by thoroughly brushing and flossing your teeth.

If you’re brushing with fluoride toothpaste, wait a while before using mouthwash. The mouthwash can wash away the concentrated fluoride in the toothpaste.

2. How much mouthwash to use

Pour your oral rinse of choice into the cup provided with the product or a plastic measuring cup. Use only as much mouthwash as the product instructs you to use. It’s typically between 3 and 5 teaspoons.

3. Ready, set, rinse

Empty the cup into your mouth and swish it around. Don’t swallow it. Mouthwash isn’t meant for ingesting, and it won’t work if you drink it.

While you’re rinsing, gargle for 30 seconds. You may want to set a watch or try to count to 30 in your head.

4. Spit it out
Spit the mouthwash out into the sink.

When to use mouthwash
Some people use mouthwash as part of their daily teeth-cleaning routine. But you can also use mouthwash in a pinch to banish bad breath.

There’s really no hard and fast guideline for when to use mouthwash for bad breath. But it isn’t going to work to strengthen tooth enamel or fight gum disease unless you use it right after brushing and flossing.

Seriously

463 million people in the world have diabetes, according to the International Diabetes Foundation, and diabetes is known to raise the risk of certain dental health issues, including dry mouth. Dry mouth is much more than an annoyance that may make it a little difficult to speak sometimes. It’s a problem that raises the risk of tooth decay and makes it easier for fungal infections to develop. When people with diabetes learn how to manage dry mouth symptoms, they’ll be doing something good for their dental health and general health. Fortunately, there are effective ways to ease or eliminate dry mouth.


Why do some diabetics have dry mouth problems?

Dry mouth is also known as xerostomia, and it’s believed that diabetics are prone to dry mouth due to high blood glucose levels.

Another issue is the fact diabetics produce less saliva than most non-diabetics, according to a study published in the Journal of Periodontology.

Dry mouth issues may affect people with both forms of diabetes (Type 1 and Type 2). While all people with diabetes don’t develop dry mouth problems, they are not uncommon, either.

What are the symptoms of dry mouth?

If you’re having dry mouth problems, which are common in diabetics, but not exclusive to diabetics, you may notice that your mouth feels sticky.

You might also have bad breath, whether you’re aware of it or not. Mouth sores, cracked lips (especially at the corners) and dry throat may also occur.

Additionally, speaking may be difficult. Some people with dry mouth have excessive thirst. Other symptoms to watch for include sore throat, a 998 speaking voice, and dry, inflamed tongues. You may have some of these symptoms or most of them, as everyone is different.

How is this dental problem treated?


Diabetics are used to accessing treatments that maintain or improve their health. For instance, people with diabetes might wear compression socks that ease health problems, such as swelling and discomfort from deep vein thrombosis, and many take pills or insulin injections to regulate their blood levels.

Many also follow special diets that help them to stay well. When it comes to dry mouth, treatment options are also available.

Drinking plenty of pure water should be very helpful. You may also want to use sugar-free mouthwashes, mints, and gums in order to stimulate the production of saliva. Avoid alcohol, tobacco products, and caffeine, as all may make dry mouth problems worse. As you can see, some simple lifestyle changes are usually enough to minimize or eliminate the problem.

Proper dental care and medical care will help, too

Seeing your dentist twice a year for checkups and cleaning will be essential. Some dental patients need even more attention from dentists. Another smart tip is to talk to your doctor about any medications that you are taking.

Some medications prescribed to diabetics may trigger side effects, including dry mouth. It is possible that your doctor can adjust your medication in order to try and ease this symptom.

Now that you know more about dry mouth and diabetes, you’ll be ready to tackle the problem. The more than you do to alleviate dry mouth, the better. Effective dry mouth treatments help to safeguard good health.

It's okay, smiling is good, but don't smile anyhow . Or else, arrow is loading

1. It’s a sign of good health.

You would be surprised how many health complications can come from poor dental hygiene. When your teeth are in great order it’s a good sign that the rest of you is healthy.

Inflammation is one of the most damaging things your body can face, often leading to heart diseases and strokes. One of the key causes for inflammation is infection through your mouth due to a buildup of bacteria.

People with gum disease are 40% more likely to have a chronic condition, so by taking care of your mouth you may be protecting yourself from health complication.

2. People associate smiling with yout[/b]h.

A study in Germany had 150 men and women guess the ages people from over 1,000 photographs. They found that happy faces were voted as the youngest looking…2 years younger than their poker-faced counterparts!

Having a healthy smile can improve your confidence causing you to use it more and show off your happy youthful side.

[b]3. Smiling makes you less stressed

There was an interesting experiment carried out by the Wall Street Journal where individuals were tricked by holding chopsticks with their mouth in such a way it caused them to smile.

The results showed that those who smiled actually had lower stress levels and were able to complete challenges more effectively.

While we don’t advocate fake smiles (nor chewing on chopsticks), making more of a conscious effort to smile at people in your life can ultimately lead to a less stressed, younger looking you.


4. Stained teeth are associated with old age.
Stained teeth are caused by:
1. Coffee.
2. Red wine
3. Sodas
5. Tobacco.
Often in old age teeth start to turn to yellow and lose their pearly white qualities.

You can flip the script on looking older by having a healthy smile.

5. Metallic fillings are from a bygone era.

Dental practices have changed and moved on from the old school silver metallic fillings. New treatments are available that replace gray fillings with tooth-colored replacements that blend into your smile.

A mouth still sparkling in the sun (from metal and not lovely white teeth) can reveal your age, showing that you had dental work done many years ago.

By having old fillings replaced you can look younger and make sure that the only people who know about your fillings are you and your dentist.

6. Smiling is good for the immune system.
When we give a great big smile our bodies actually release endorphins.

Endorphins are great because they make us feel happy but they also have been proven to strengthen the immune system which in turn keeps us healthier.

Remember, a healthy you is also a younger looking you!

7. A healthy smile can lead to a good night’s sleep.
Snoring and teeth grinding are both dental issues that can be linked to sleep apnea.
When an individual grinds their teeth at night time it sends signals to their brain to wake them up. This constant ‘waking up’ process can lead to some very serious complications, the least of which being exhaustion.

Many professionals are beginning to see the links between sleep apnea and dental care. Who knew that a healthy smile could lead to better sleep?

Sleep has been championed for many years as the ultimate way to slow down the aging process. Sleep affects pretty much every area of our life and good shut eye will lead to more energy, greater health and a younger looking version of ourselves.

To pay laborers their dues is a vice.

I am not a fan of Wike, but I agree with him on this, abundance of caution.

Our media should stop all these kind of reportage. We have a pandemic ravaging the whole world and you are calling deaths in a place as being mysterious. Please do due diligence to unravel and put our govt to task. I am really feeling sorry for the north. Our govt should wake up, the rate of deaths is alarming in the northern part of Nigeria

Why not gather the children in a place and conduct tests for them? Then, do the needful if found postive. And also cater for those that are negetive till the pandemic is over. We are one Nigeria and the Almajiries are Nigerian Children.

Exactly my thought. FG should stop the governors from doing this. Lagos has not done that, so far so good, it hasn't been bad. The north will be worst-hit the way these governors are behaving recklessly.
