This document defines key dental terms like dental caries, periodontal disease, halitosis, gingivitis, and plaque. It explains that dental caries is tooth decay, plaque is the white sticky substance on teeth, and identifies the three basic parts of a tooth. The document outlines causes of tooth decay like sugar and acidic foods and drinks. It provides guidelines for oral health such as eating balanced meals, brushing teeth, flossing, avoiding too much sugar, and getting regular dental checkups.
The document defines various dental terms like dental caries, periodontal disease, halitosis, gingivitis, and plaque. It explains that dental caries is tooth decay, plaque is the white sticky substance on teeth, and periodontal disease and gingivitis refer to gum disease and inflammation of the gums. It outlines the three basic parts of a tooth. The document lists warning signs of a cavity and guidelines for keeping teeth and gums healthy, such as eating balanced meals, avoiding too much sugar, refined foods and acidic drinks, brushing after meals and before bed, flossing, and regular dental checkups. It recommends using fluoride toothpaste and mouthwash.
Dry mouth can increase the risk of cavities by reducing saliva's ability to neutralize acids and protect teeth. The article lists 7 easy ways to combat dry mouth, including using xylitol gum or saliva substitutes to stimulate saliva production, limiting sugary foods and drinks, drinking water, finding alternative medications if dry mouth is a side effect, and regularly brushing and flossing teeth.
Poor oral hygiene, particularly of the gums and tongue, is the most common cause of bad breath, known as halitosis. Bacteria breaking down food particles trapped in the mouth produce unpleasant odors. Other contributors include dry mouth, sinus infections, diabetes, kidney or liver disease, smoking, alcohol use, certain foods like onions and garlic, and not cleaning removable dental appliances. Maintaining good oral hygiene through brushing, flossing, and tongue scraping can help control bad breath, as can staying hydrated, chewing sugar-free gum, avoiding odorous foods, using mouthwash, and seeing the dentist regularly.

Common problems associated with the oral cavity include bad breath, dental caries, periodontal diseases, stomatitis, dry mouth, tooth erosion, and cavities. Bad breath is often caused by poor oral hygiene and bacteria breaking down food particles. Dental caries are caused by plaque accumulation and acid production by bacteria. Periodontal diseases are serious gum infections caused by bacteria that can lead to tooth loss. Other issues like stomatitis, dry mouth, tooth erosion, and cavities have various causes and symptoms and can be treated through lifestyle changes and medical or dental interventions.

Cavities are caused by plaque and bacteria in the mouth breaking down tooth enamel. Left untreated, cavities can grow deeper and cause pain. Symptoms include tooth sensitivity, pain when eating or drinking hot or cold foods, and visible holes in the teeth. Proper brushing and cleaning between teeth can prevent cavities by removing plaque and food debris before bacteria can produce acid that destroys enamel. Toothpaste ingredients like abrasives, detergents, and fluoride help clean teeth and remineralize enamel. Mouthwashes are used to fight bacteria and freshen breath. Pain relieving gels containing benzocaine or lidocaine can temporarily reduce tooth pain.
This document summarizes 8 common dental problems: gum disease, cavities, bad breath, oral cancer, receding gum lines, mouth sores, yellow teeth, and teeth grinding. It explains the causes and symptoms of each problem. It emphasizes that visiting the dentist every 6 months is important for prevention and early detection of issues. It promotes a specific dentist in Broomfield, CO for making appointments.

This document provides information about oral health and proper dental care. It discusses why teeth are important for eating, talking and smiling. It explains that humans have two sets of teeth in their lifetime - 20 milk teeth and 32 permanent teeth. The structure of a tooth includes the crown and root. Common oral health problems include tooth decay, gum disease, and malocclusion. Tooth decay occurs when bacteria in plaque produces acid that destroys tooth enamel. Preventing oral health issues requires regular brushing, flossing, healthy eating, and dental checkups.
The mouth allows for speech, eating, and facial expressions through the coordination of the teeth, tongue, and other structures. The tongue is a muscle that aids in speech and taste, having taste buds to detect sweet, sour, salty, and bitter flavors. Teeth develop throughout childhood, with adults having 32 permanent teeth that are supplied with blood and nerves. Salivary glands in the mouth also produce saliva to break down food.
Five myths about brushing your teeth
We all know that it’s important to brush our teeth. Our mother’s and dentists have been telling us since we first started growing teeth that it’s important to take care of them. But, there’s a few very common misconceptions about tooth and mouth hygiene. We’re going to bust those myths for you right here.

Bad breath, also known as halitosis, can be caused by a variety of factors related to the mouth and overall health. The most common cause is bacteria that live on the tongue and in other areas of the mouth, which produce odors as they break down food particles. Other potential causes include poor dental hygiene, infections in the mouth or respiratory tract, dry mouth, external agents like garlic or smoking, and systemic illnesses. Symptoms depend on the underlying cause but may include bad taste, coated tongue, gum problems, or signs of infection or illness.
This document discusses dry mouth (xerostomia), which affects 30-40% of seniors and is a common side effect of many medications. Dry mouth is caused by reduced or absent saliva flow and can lead to dental problems like tooth decay. Over 500 medications can cause dry mouth as a side effect. The document promotes an oral care product line from Oraline that is designed to treat dry mouth affordably, including a dry mouth toothpaste with xylitol, a benzocaine-based oral pain reliever, a soft-bristled toothbrush, and interdental brushes. It encourages readers to try their products.
The document discusses bad breath, its causes, and the potential market for bad breath treatment products in Bangladesh. It notes that smoking increases bad breath and smoking rates in Bangladesh are high, particularly among lower-income groups, indicating a large potential market. It also discusses the psychology around bad breath, how people perceive others with bad breath, and how bad breath can negatively impact relationships and self-esteem. Finally, it proposes a brand promise for a new toothpowder brand targeting this market: "Jorse bolo", meaning "Speak freely".
Canker sores, also known as aphthous ulcers, are small, painful sores inside the mouth. Symptoms include mouth sores and discomfort that lasts 7-10 days. Canker sores can be caused by stress, nutritional deficiencies, hormones, allergies, braces or dentures. While canker sores are common and not serious, treatment can soothe pain, and prevention includes dental hygiene.
One of the most important muscular organs of our body is tongue. It is responsible to perform various operations. Whatever we eat, tongue provides us the taste and we recognize whether the thing is bitter, sour, salty or sweet. It manipulates food for mastication and plays a crucial role in the digestive system.

The document discusses the importance of oral health and its connection to overall health. It explains how problems in the mouth like tooth decay and gum disease can be caused by bacteria, sugar, improper brushing and smoking. Tooth decay damages the protective enamel and can lead to pain, infection and difficulty speaking or chewing. Gum disease is linked to conditions like diabetes and heart disease. The document emphasizes that proper brushing and flossing for six minutes a day can prevent tooth decay and gum disease.
This document discusses dental health and the benefits of xylitol. It begins by outlining the high rates of tooth decay and gum disease in both children and adults. Poor diet, inadequate dental hygiene, smoking, and certain medical conditions can contribute to poor oral health. The mouth has several parts that work together, including teeth made of enamel, dentin and pulp. Poor oral health has been linked to health issues elsewhere in the body. The document then discusses how xylitol, a natural sugar found in fruits and vegetables, can help prevent tooth decay by interfering with the bacteria that cause decay.
This document discusses halitosis (bad breath). It notes that bad breath is usually caused by bacteria in the mouth, especially on the tongue and in pockets between teeth and gums. These bacteria break down proteins and produce volatile sulfur compounds that cause odors. Treatment involves good oral hygiene like brushing, flossing, cleaning dentures, and treating any underlying infections or dry mouth. Maintaining good oral health can help manage and prevent bad breath.
Inflamed taste buds appear as small red or white bumps on the tongue that can cause pain or irritation when eating. They are most common when the immune system is weakened by illnesses, medications, or dry mouth. Inflamed taste buds are caused by conditions like acid reflux, infections, allergies, smoking, or vitamin deficiencies that irritate the tiny sensory organs inside bumps on the tongue called papillae. Treatment depends on the cause but may include antacids, avoiding allergens, supplements, or lifestyle changes like quitting smoking along with salt water rinses and dental care.

Tooth enamel is the hardest substance in the human body but can be destroyed by acid and plaque buildup, leading to tooth decay. Foods and drinks with a pH level below 5.5 can cause erosion and decay, as the acid demineralizes enamel. Children are especially at risk of early decay due to bottle feeding with sugary liquids and lack of brushing. Frequent acid exposure from foods and drinks damages enamel over time if the mouth does not have enough time to neutralize acidity through saliva and remineralize enamel. Maintaining good oral hygiene through brushing and regular dental checkups can help prevent tooth decay.
Tooth enamel is the hardest substance in the human body but can be destroyed by acid and plaque buildup, leading to tooth decay. Foods and drinks with a pH between 5.0-5.7 can trigger erosion, including soft drinks, fruit juices, and wine. Frequent consumption of acidic foods and drinks causes teeth to demineralize as the acid wears away the enamel. Young children are especially at risk of early tooth decay due to bottle feeding with sugary liquids and lack of brushing, leading to potential long-term dental issues if left untreated.
The document discusses the importance of oral health and its links to overall health. Poor oral hygiene can lead to infections like tooth decay and gum disease, and has been linked to conditions like cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Maintaining good oral hygiene through daily brushing, flossing, and regular dental checkups is key to preventing issues. Regular dental visits allow dentists to check for cavities and plaque, perform cleanings, and identify any potential problems early.
This document discusses the importance of oral health and its connection to overall health. It explains that poor oral health can lead to tooth decay, gum disease, and even systemic diseases like diabetes and heart disease. The key to maintaining good oral health is brushing for two minutes twice a day and flossing once a day to prevent cavities and gum disease.

Bad breath, also known as halitosis, has several potential causes including poor oral hygiene, certain foods, dry mouth, smoking, and underlying medical conditions. Regular brushing and flossing of teeth, cleaning dentures, drinking water, and visiting the dentist are important to prevent bad breath. If bad breath persists, it could indicate a problem like gum disease that requires treatment from a dentist or medical professional to diagnose and address the underlying cause.
Your teeth are unique to you due to their structure and fingerprints. They have layers including enamel, the hardest substance in the body, and dentin beneath it. Enamel protects the tooth but can decay from acids in foods and drinks interacting with bacteria in the mouth. You have 32 total teeth made up of different types from incisors to molars. Plaque is the enemy as it contains bacteria and causes decay if not removed by brushing and flossing regularly. Saliva helps neutralize acids and remove food particles to protect teeth.
The document discusses the anatomy and functions of the tongue. It describes the four main tastes detected by taste buds on the tongue - sweet, sour, bitter, and salty. It explains how taste signals are transmitted to the brain and how conditions can alter taste perception, such as ageusia or dysgeusia. The document also provides facts about the tongue, such as the number of taste buds and muscles it contains.
Misconceptions exist in relation to halitosis, including:
Low prevalence
Aetiology: gastrointestinal origin
No reference practitioner exists
It has no solution or treatment
In this presentation we will debunk these misconceptions...

Oral cancer includes cancers of the mouth and throat, accounting for 3% of cancer diagnoses yearly. It is most common in men over 40, and risk factors include tobacco, alcohol, HPV, and sun exposure. Symptoms can mimic other illnesses but often appear as sores or thick patches in the mouth, lips or throat. Dentists screen for oral cancer during regular checkups, which are important for early detection and better survival rates. Treatment depends on cancer stage but may involve surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. Continued dental care is also important during and after treatment.
Our drinking water comes from local reservoirs like Lake Ray Hubbard and contains natural minerals. Fluoride is added to promote dental health by strengthening tooth enamel and preventing cavities. The benefits of fluoride in drinking water have been studied since the early 1900s, when high fluoride levels in some areas led to staining but low levels prevented cavities. Since 1945, many cities across the US have added fluoride to their water, and over 75% of Americans now have access to fluoridated water. However, over 100 million still do not, so increasing access to fluoridated water remains a public health goal.
Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral ion that strengthens tooth enamel and makes it more resistant to decay. It is added to most toothpastes and many public water supplies in the US to help reduce cavities. While generally safe, fluoride can cause cosmetic fluorosis if consumed in large amounts by young children under 8 years old. The Centers for Disease Control still recommends community water fluoridation for its dental benefits. Anyone with concerns about their fluoride use should consult their dentist.
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are our ancestral remnants from when human jaws were larger. While once useful for breaking tough foods, wisdom teeth now often lack proper room and become impacted, infected or damage other teeth. Though sometimes still present without issue, many dentists recommend preemptive removal to prevent future oral health problems. The minor surgery to extract wisdom teeth is generally low risk if done before complications arise and proper post-op care is followed. Discussing wisdom tooth health with your dentist can help determine if removal is advisable.
Fluoride is a naturally occurring chemical ion that is added to toothpaste and water supplies to strengthen teeth and make them more resistant to bacteria. It has led to a significant decline in cavities over many generations. While generally beneficial, too much fluoride consumption by young children as their teeth are developing can cause fluorosis, which is a purely cosmetic condition. Both water fluoridation levels and the amount of fluoride in toothpaste are monitored to help prevent overexposure, especially in children. Fluoride treatments continue to provide benefits at any age by strengthening teeth and preventing diseases.
Children learn from watching the behaviors of their parents. It is important for parents to set a good example with their own oral health routines like brushing and flossing daily. Parents should bring their children to dental visits so they are not afraid of the dentist. They should also openly discuss oral health and praise their children for developing good habits. Leading by example is the best way for parents to promote successful smiles in their children.
This document discusses how poor oral health can negatively impact multiple areas of one's life. It states that over 70% of people with poor teeth say it has negatively impacted their lives, with issues finding long-term employment after interviews due to assumptions made about their work ethic and personality. Additionally, 33% of young adults have admitted cutting back on socializing due to being self-conscious about their teeth. Finally, poor oral health is linked to increased stress, anxiety and depression, as well as greater risk of Alzheimer's disease, demonstrating the mental health impacts as well. The document encourages those struggling with oral health issues to seek treatment from a dentist to potentially transform their lives.
Fluoride has been shown to significantly reduce cavities when used properly. It is recommended to use a fluoride toothpaste for children as soon as their first tooth appears, using only a rice-grain sized amount. Fluoride toothpaste can reduce cavities in children by 15-30%. Mouthwash should not be introduced until a child is older and able to spit it out, rather than swallowing, to avoid getting too much fluoride and risking fluorosis. With the proper amount and instruction on spitting, fluoride products can help fight cavities when used as part of a regular oral hygiene routine.

Mercurius is named after the roman god mercurius, the god of trade and science. The planet mercurius is named after the same god. Mercurius is sometimes called hydrargyrum, means ‘watery silver’. Its shine and colour are very similar to silver, but mercury is a fluid at room temperatures. The name quick silver is a translation of hydrargyrum, where the word quick describes its tendency to scatter away in all directions.
The droplets have a tendency to conglomerate to one big mass, but on being shaken they fall apart into countless little droplets again. It is used to ignite explosives, like mercury fulminate, the explosive character is one of its general themes.

Cool Stuff You Don’t Know About Your Tongue
1. COOL STUFF YOU DON’T KNOW ABOUT YOUR TONGUE
We spend quite a bit of time talking about teeth, here. However, they are only one component of your oral health.
How much time do you spend thinking about your tongue? Maybe you think about it more when you bite it or take that sip of hot coffee, but
unless you’re experiencing a problem, your tongue is probably forgotten about pretty much all the time.
Your tongue is an important group of muscles that aids in speaking, eating and swallowing. Without it, life would look (and taste) very different.
Interestingly, your tongue also has the ability to indicate certain illnesses and gauge other aspects of overall health. Keep reading to discover
more fun facts about this muscular organ and what tongue changes really mean!
FUN TONGUE FACTS
The average tongue is comprised of 2,000-10,000 taste buds, which is a HUGE range. Those with the most taste buds are labeled as
“supertasters” since they experience flavors much more intensely than others. And those little pink and white dots on your tongue? Those are
not your taste buds! Instead, they’re called papillae, or hair-like projections that taste buds rest ATOP.
Another interesting fact is that, while most muscles in our body eventually tire, the tongue never does. That’s a huge benefit since we use it
primarily for eating and talking!
TOP TONGUES ARE WORTH A LOT
You may have heard rumors that Jennifer Lopez’s rear end is insured for more than $27 million or that David Beckham took out an almost $200
million policy on his legs and feet. These insurance polices may be gigantic, but also make sense due to their holder’s profession.
In the same vein, the lead chocolate taster for Cadbury has a $1.25 million policy taken out just on her tongue. Her ability to taste slight
nuances in production quality or break down the exact balancing in a chocolate bar is literally unbeatable. This is one of the many wonders of
the tongue. Just like other muscles, it can be trained and “finessed” to do extraordinary things.
COMMON TONGUE ISSUES
While we can’t all make our living as a chocolate tester (don’t we wish), each tongue is a finely tuned organ that can tell a lot about what is
going on in the rest of the body.
For instance, a yellow tongue may look jarring and alarming, but generally occurs as a result of a harmless buildup of dead skin cells on the
tiny projections (papillae) on the surface of your tongue. If you are experiencing yellow tongue, don’t fret, just brush your tongue the next time
you brush your teeth. If the color persists, try increasing the fiber in your diet to reduce the buildup of dead skill cells.
A bright-red tongue can indicate a folic acid or B12 deficiency. These two vitamin deficiencies can easily be remediated through supplements.
Finally, a black hairy tongue is caused by a bacterial overgrowth. This can result from poor oral hygiene, lack of salvia production, and side
effects from medications such as chemotherapy. A black tongue can be especially frightening, so if you are experiencing this make an
appointment with us to discuss your oral hygiene routine. While this is almost always harmless and temporary, it is important to get a handle
on it before it leads to other oral heath problems.
CAN IT REALLY ITCH?
We all get those itches that we can’t seem to fully scratch. But have you ever gotten one on your tongue? Those can be the most annoying
since they are hard to stop and you really don’t want to be sticking your hand in your mouth to quell it! The most common reason for a
scratchy tongue is an oral allergic reaction. This can occur from environmental factors such as animal hair or as a reaction to a food.
Depending on the severity of the allergy, the scratchy tongue can be an indicator that you need to get help fast.
