You call it a cavity. Your dentist calls it tooth decay or dental caries. They're all names for a hole in your tooth. The cause of tooth decay is plaque, a sticky substance in your mouth made up mostly of germs. Tooth decay starts in the outer layer, called the enamel. Without a filling, the decay can get deep into the tooth and its nerves and cause a toothache or abscess.

Toothache
Toothaches are caused by issues like dental caries, cracks, injuries, or gum disease. A toothache feels like a sharp or dull pain in or around a tooth and it may be sensitive to temperature, pressure, or sweets. Seeing a dentist right away is important to diagnose and treat the underlying cause. The dentist will examine the mouth to identify the problem tooth and determine if infection or damage is present. Treatment depends on the cause but may include fillings, root canals, extractions, or antibiotics to address infection. Proper oral hygiene and regular dental visits can help prevent toothaches.

Gingivitis
Gingivitis is the most common form of gingival disease and is caused by bacterial infection resulting in inflammation of the gingival tissue. The characteristics of gingivitis include redness, swelling, bleeding upon provocation, and a change in consistency but no loss of attachment or bone loss. Gingivitis can be classified as dental plaque-induced or non-plaque induced. Dental plaque-induced gingivitis can be modified by local factors, systemic factors, medications, or malnutrition. Non-plaque induced gingivitis can result from bacterial, viral, fungal infections or genetic conditions.
Stomatitis (AHN)
This document discusses stomatitis, an inflammation of the mouth lining. It defines stomatitis and lists its common causes such as infections, medications, nutritional deficiencies, and radiation/chemotherapy. The main signs and symptoms include pain, ulcers, and bleeding in the mouth. It describes different types of stomatitis like aphthous, angular, and denture-related stomatitis. The management involves coating agents, mouthwashes, analgesics, and topical corticosteroids to reduce inflammation and pain.
Pyorrhea types, causes, symptoms (1)
Pyorrhea, also known as periodontitis, is a serious gum infection caused by bacterial plaque that leads to damage of gums, ligaments and bone if left untreated. It causes symptoms like bleeding gums, bad breath and loose teeth. There are different types including chronic and aggressive periodontitis. Risk factors include poor oral hygiene, smoking, certain illnesses and genetics. Prevention involves brushing teeth twice daily, regular dental visits, and proper hygiene through scaling and root planing.
Glossitis
This document discusses glossitis, or inflammation of the tongue. Glossitis can be primary, caused by things like infections, mechanical irritation, or allergies. Or it can be secondary, caused by underlying conditions like iron deficiency anemia, vitamin B deficiency, oral lichen planus, or syphilis. Symptoms include tongue swelling, color changes, soreness, and difficulty speaking, swallowing, or chewing. Diagnosis involves examination and sometimes blood tests. Treatment focuses on reducing inflammation with good oral hygiene, steroids, antibiotics/antifungals if an infection is present, and treating any underlying deficiencies. Resolution is usually rapid but complications can include discomfort, airway obstruction, difficulty swallowing or speaking
stomatitis, gingivitis, glositis
This document discusses several disorders of the oral cavity including stomatitis, gingivitis, and glossitis. Stomatitis is an inflammation of the mouth lining that can be caused by chemotherapy, radiation, trauma, or other factors. Symptoms include pain, sores, fever and irritability.

Periodontal Disease
Periodontal disease is a chronic bacterial infection that affects the gums and bone supporting the teeth. It ranges from gingivitis, a reversible early stage marked by red, swollen gums, to periodontitis, a more advanced stage involving irreversible bone and tissue destruction. Risk factors include smoking, diabetes, genetics, and certain medications. Symptoms include bad breath, bleeding gums, and loose teeth. Treatment involves deep cleaning below the gumline, antibiotics, and sometimes surgery to regenerate lost bone and tissue. Regular cleanings and proper brushing and flossing can help prevent periodontal disease.
Sinusitis
Sinusitis is an inflammation of the paranasal sinuses caused most commonly by viral or bacterial infections. The four pairs of paranasal sinuses are the frontal, ethmoid, sphenoid, and maxillary sinuses. Sinusitis can be classified based on location of the infected sinus or duration of symptoms. Acute sinusitis lasts less than 4 weeks while chronic sinusitis persists for over 12 weeks. Common symptoms include facial pain, headache, nasal congestion and discharge. Diagnosis involves medical history, examination, and imaging tests like CT scans. Treatment depends on severity and duration of symptoms but may include medications, sinus irrigation, or surgery.
Mouth ulcers/canker sores
Mouth ulcers are normally small painful lesions that develops in the mouth or at the base of the gums. They can make eating,drinking and talking uncomfortable.Women,adolescents and people with a family history of mouth ulcers are more likely to develop these ulcers.
Mouth ulcers aren't contagious and go away within one or two weeks. They can be small to large and are extremely painful.

Pemphigus
Pemphigus is a rare autoimmune blistering disease of the skin and mucous membranes caused by antibodies against desmoglein proteins. There are three main types - pemphigus vulgaris affects the mouth and skin, pemphigus foliaceus affects the scalp and upper trunk, and paraneoplastic pemphigus is the most severe and associated with cancer. Diagnosis involves biopsy and detecting antibodies. Treatment aims to control the disease and involves high-dose corticosteroids sometimes with steroid-sparing immunosuppressants or other therapies like intravenous immunoglobulins or plasmapheresis.
Gingivitis
The longer plaque and tartar are on teeth, the more harmful they
become. The bacteria cause inflammation of the gums that is called
“gingivitis.” In gingivitis, the gums become red, swollen and can bleed
easily. Gingivitis is a mild form of gum disease that can usually be
reversed with daily brushing and flossing, and regular cleaning by a
dentist or dental hygienist. This form of gum disease does not include
any loss of bone and tissue that hold teeth in place.
GLOSSITIS
Glossitis refers to inflammation of the tongue that causes swelling, color, and texture changes. There are two main types: acute glossitis appears suddenly with severe symptoms, while chronic glossitis recurs and may be caused by an underlying condition. People at risk include those with mouth injuries, who eat spicy foods, wear ill-fitting dentures, have herpes or immune disorders, or have low iron or food allergies. Diagnosis involves examination for mouth abnormalities and testing saliva and blood samples. Treatment consists of antibiotics if bacteria are present or topical steroids to reduce redness and soreness.
Otalgia/earache
Ear pain, or otalgia, can originate from diseases within the ear itself or from diseases in surrounding areas that cause referred pain. Referred otalgia is a common presentation and can be caused by conditions of the teeth, jaw, throat, neck muscles, or cancers of the throat or neck. A thorough history, physical exam, and diagnostic tests are needed to identify the underlying source of the ear pain.
Halitosis
This document provides an overview of halitosis (bad breath), including its classification, etiology, diagnosis, and management. It discusses the role of volatile sulfur compounds and certain bacteria in causing halitosis. Diagnostic tools include organoleptic measurement, gas chromatography, and volatile sulfide monitoring to detect these compounds. Treatment involves identifying and addressing the underlying causes, such as periodontal disease, dry mouth, dental caries, or systemic conditions. Preventive measures focus on proper oral hygiene and avoiding foods that can cause temporary halitosis.
Oral Thrush
Oral thrush is an infection of yeast fungus, Candida albicans in mucous membrane of mouth.
Thrush is generally referred to the infection present in oral cavity of babies, while adult infection is known as candidacies or moniliasis.
Periodontitis
Periodontitis is a chronic, slowly progressing disease which mainly results in the destruction of tooth supporting apparatus. Earlier it was classified as Chronic and Aggressive periodontitis with different clinical features and etiology. Current classification ( 2017) of periodontal disease involves periodontitis with is further divided into 4 stages and 3 grades depending on severity and rate of disease progression respectively. Diabetes meelitus and smoking are the validated risk factors for the progression of periodontitis.
Top 5 common dental problems
Here is the common diseases which cause many dental problems. It should be know about them because of wide occurrence of these dental diseases in our daily life.
Epistaxis
Epistaxis, or nosebleed, is caused by rupture of tiny blood vessels in the nasal cavity. It is common and can occur in any age group. Bleeding most often originates from an area in the front of the nose called Little's area. Epistaxis can be anterior, originating in the front part of the nose, or posterior, originating in the back part. Causes include local trauma, infections, medications, and systemic conditions like high blood pressure. Treatment depends on the location and severity of bleeding and may include pressure, cauterization, nasal packing, or medication. Nursing care focuses on monitoring vital signs, controlling bleeding, preventing anxiety, and providing discharge teaching to prevent future episodes.
Sinusitis
This document discusses sinusitis, defined as an infection of the para nasal sinuses. It describes the different types of sinusitis, risk factors, stages of pathology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic tests, potential complications, management with medications and surgery, and surgical procedures for treating sinusitis.
Parotitis
This document discusses parotitis, which is inflammation of the parotid salivary gland. It can be acute or chronic, and bacterial or viral in causation. Common causes include Staphylococcus aureus bacteria and the mumps virus. Risk factors include dehydration, malnutrition, immunosuppression, and certain medications. Symptoms include swelling of the parotid gland area along with pain, fever, and systemic toxicity. Diagnosis involves cultures, ultrasound or CT/MRI imaging. Treatment is with hydration, antibiotics like nafcillin administered intravenously, and sometimes surgical drainage or parotidectomy for long-standing cases.
02.dental caries
Dental caries is a microbiological disease that results in localized demineralization of the inorganic portion and destruction of the organic substances of the tooth. It is caused by acid produced from bacteria in dental plaque when they metabolize carbohydrates. Key factors in the development of dental caries include diet, bacteria such as Streptococcus mutans, acids, dental plaque, and time. Common sites for dental caries include pits and fissures, proximal surfaces, and cervical margins. Treatment involves reducing sugar intake, fluoride application, and properly placed restorations to prevent recurrent caries.
Granuloma inguinale, lymphogranuloma venereum, gonorrhea
This document discusses three sexually transmitted diseases: granuloma inguinale, lymphogranuloma venereum, and gonorrhea. It outlines the causes, clinical findings, and recommended drug treatments for each disease. Granuloma inguinale is caused by Calymmatobacterium granulomatis and presents as painless skin lesions that form ulcers. Lymphogranuloma venereum is caused by Chlamydia trachomatis and spreads from genital lesions to lymph nodes. Gonorrhea is caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae and can infect various sites. The document provides details on treatment regimens for uncomplicated and disseminated cases
stomatitis.pptx
The oral cavity consists of the lips, gums, tongue, salivary glands, and teeth. Stomatitis is an inflammation of the mucous membrane in the mouth that can affect the cheeks, gums, tongue, lips, and roof or floor of the mouth. Stomatitis can be caused by chemotherapy, radiotherapy, trauma, poor dental hygiene, smoking, dehydration, or burns. Symptoms include pain, sores or ulcers in the mouth, fever, irritability, blisters, swollen gums, drooling, difficulty swallowing, and foul breath. Treatment involves medical management with mouthwashes or analgesics, as well as maintaining good oral hygiene, a bland diet

Cavities
Cavities are holes or damage in the teeth caused by bacteria in the mouth breaking down sugars and starches into acids. This causes demineralization of enamel over time. Symptoms may include tooth pain or visible cavities. Treatment involves fillings, crowns, or root canals to repair damage. Prevention emphasizes regular brushing, flossing, limiting snacks and drinks with sugar, and applying fluoride and dental sealants.
Oral cavity related problems
The document discusses common dental problems such as cavities, bleeding gums, bad breath, tooth sensitivity, mouth sores, tooth erosion, tooth discoloration, toothaches and their causes, symptoms, treatments and home remedies. It also describes the structure and function of the oral cavity and lists common ingredients found in dental products such as fluorides, glycerol and sodium bicarbonate.
Dental caries.pdf
Dental caries, also known as tooth decay or cavities, is an infection caused by bacteria that causes demineralization and destruction of the hard tissues of the teeth. It results from the production of acid by bacterial fermentation of food debris accumulated on the tooth surface. If demineralization exceeds remineralization factors like saliva and fluoride, the hard tissues of the teeth break down, producing cavities. Globally, over 2.3 billion people suffer from dental caries of permanent teeth and more than 530 million children suffer from dental caries of primary teeth. Prevention focuses on proper oral hygiene through brushing and flossing, a diet low in sugars, dental sealants, fluoride, and
Enamel Erosion
Enamel erosion occurs when the outer protective layer of enamel is damaged or worn away, exposing the inner layers of the tooth. Symptoms include tooth sensitivity to hot and cold, discoloration, and cracks or indentations in the enamel. Enamel erosion can be caused by excessive consumption of acidic foods and drinks, acid reflux, vomiting, or certain medications. Treatment may involve bonding or crowns to protect the tooth, while prevention focuses on reducing acids in the diet, increasing water intake, and practicing good oral hygiene.

6 Ways to Keep Your Gums Healthy
Gum disease is caused by plaque buildup under the gumline from bacteria. It causes gums to become inflamed, tender, red, swollen, and prone to bleeding. There are several ways to prevent gum disease, including brushing twice a day, flossing daily, getting regular dental cleanings, quitting smoking, using fluoride toothpaste, and mouthwash. Following these practices helps remove food and plaque that can lead to infection and gum disease.
problem assso with oral cavity
This document discusses common oral health problems and their causes and treatments. It covers dental plaque, calculus, gingivitis, periodontitis, dental caries, hypersensitivity, staining, malodor, dry mouth, ulcers, and types of oral preparations like toothpastes and mouthwashes. Dental plaque builds up and leads to calculus formation, which can cause gum disease. Tooth decay occurs when acids from plaque dissolve tooth enamel. Periodontitis is a serious gum infection causing bone loss. Various formulations are provided as examples to address issues like cavities, plaque, sensitivity, and breath freshening.
toothpaste - dental school seminar
This document discusses the history and development of toothpaste. It describes how early Egyptians, Chinese, Greeks and Romans used mixtures of ingredients like crushed bone, rocks, eggshells and herbs to clean their teeth. Modern toothpaste was invented in the 1800s and typically came in powder form. Key developments included the addition of soap in 1824, chalk in the 1850s, and mass production in jars in 1873. Fluoride was added in 1914 and has played an important role in preventing cavities. Today there are many types of toothpaste formulated for purposes like whitening teeth or reducing sensitivity. The document outlines the main ingredients in toothpaste like abrasives, fluoride, detergents and flavors, and how they function
Dental caries
This document discusses various oral health conditions and their treatment through cosmeceutical formulations. It summarizes dental caries (cavities), causes like plaque and sugar leading to acid formation and symptoms like spots and holes. Diagnosis is visual exam and x-rays. Prevention focuses on fluoride toothpaste, limiting sugar and dental visits. Treatment includes fillings, crowns, root canals, or extractions. It also summarizes gingivitis and periodontitis caused by plaque, symptoms like bleeding gums, and treatments like cleanings, medications, surgery, and grafts.

Early childhood caries, rampant, chronic and arrested caries
This document discusses different types of early childhood caries including nursing caries, rampant caries, and arrested caries. It defines early childhood caries as occurring in children under 6 years old with one or more decayed, missing, or filled tooth surfaces. Rampant caries is an acute form that spreads widely and quickly, often involving incisors. Arrested caries occurs when the decay process stops due to improved oral hygiene or fluoride treatment, leaving white or brown lesions. Prevention, treatment, and factors promoting arrest are described for each type.
Five common Tooth Problems
Today, we are going to discuss the five most common tooth problems that often people take lightly, but which they should not.
Dental Fluorosis
Dental fluorosis is a defect caused by excessive fluoride intake during tooth development in children under 8 years old. It results in hypomineralization and porosity of the enamel. The severity depends on the fluoride dose and can range from white flecks to pitting and brown stains. It is diagnosed using the Dean Index. While fluorosis cannot be reversed, mild cases require no treatment and more severe cases can be improved through procedures like bonding, veneers or crowns. Prevention focuses on reducing fluoride intake from sources like water, toothpaste and supplements.

Corneal Injury
Corneal injury describes an injury to the
cornea. The cornea is the crystal clear (transparent) tissue covering the front
of the eye. It works with the lens of the eye to focus images on the retina.
Viral Gastroenteritis
Have you ever had
the "stomach flu?" What you probably had was gastroenteritis - not a
type of flu at all. Gastroenteritis is an inflammation of the lining of the
intestines caused by a virus, bacteria or parasites. Viral gastroenteritis is
the second most common illness in the U.S. It spreads through contaminated food
or water, and contact with an infected person. The best prevention is frequent
hand washing.
Symptoms of
gastroenteritis include diarrhea, abdominal pain, vomiting, headache, fever
and chills. Most people recover with no treatment.
The most common
problem with gastroenteritis is dehydration. This happens if you do not drink
enough fluids to replace what you lose through vomiting and diarrhea. Dehydration
is most common in babies, young children, the elderly and people with weak
immune systems.
Bacterial Gastroenteritis
Bacterial gastroenteritis is inflammation of the stomach and intestines caused by bacteria. Common symptoms include diarrhea, abdominal cramps, nausea and vomiting. Doctors diagnose it by examining patients for dehydration and testing stool samples. Treatment focuses on rehydration. Most cases resolve in a few days without antibiotics. It often occurs from eating contaminated food from improper handling or storage. Proper hygiene and food safety can help prevent bacterial gastroenteritis.
Medical solutions
Drug addiction is a chronic disease characterized by compulsive drug use despite harmful consequences. Effective treatment employs both medication and behavioral therapies tailored to the individual, with the goal of stopping drug use and supporting long-term recovery. Treatment approaches may include detoxification, individual/group counseling, therapeutic communities, and medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and prevent relapse. Treatment is most successful when it addresses all aspects of an individual's life and continues over an extended period of time.
Addiction
Addiction results when a person ingests a
substance (alcohol, cocaine, or nicotine, for example) or repeatedly takes part
in an activity (gambling) that can be pleasurable, but the continued use of
which becomes compulsive and interferes with everyday life.
Common addictions include:
-- Alcohol abuse
-- Drug abuse
-- Exercise abuse
-- Pornography
-- Gambling
Classic symptoms of addiction include
impaired control over substances/behavior, preoccupation with
substance/behavior, continued use despite consequences, and denial. Behavior
patterns and habits associated with addiction are commonly characterized by the
pursuit of immediate gratification, coupled with negative long-term effects.
Physiological dependence results when the
body is unable to function normally in the absence of the substance or
behavior. This state produces the conditions of tolerance and withdrawl.
Tolerance is the result of the body
requiring larger volumes of the substance or stimulus in order to achieve the
original effects.
Withdrawal is the physical and
psychological symptoms experienced when the body no longer receives the
substance in the same quantities it has become reliant upon.
Cold Weather Safety
When winter temperatures drop significantly below normal, staying
warm and safe can become a challenge. Extremely cold temperatures
often accompany a winter storm, so you may have to cope with power failures and icy roads. Although staying indoors as much as possible can help reduce the risk of car crashes and falls on the ice, you may also face indoor hazards.
Many homes will be too cold—either due to a power failure or because the heating system isn't adequate for the weather. When people must use space heaters and fireplaces to stay warm, the risk of household fires increases, as well as the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Exposure to cold temperatures, whether indoors or outside, can cause other serious or life-threatening health problems. Infants and the elderly are particularly at risk, but anyone can be affected. To keep yourself and your family safe, you should know how to prevent cold-related health problems and what to do if a cold-weather health emergency arises. The emergency procedures outlined here are not a substitute for training in first aid. However, these procedures will help you to know when to seek medical care and what to do until help becomes available.
Stay safe while you work
Maintaining a healthy office environment requires attention to chemical hazards, equipment and work station design, physical environment (temperature, humidity, light, noise, ventilation, and space), task design, psychological factors (personal interactions, work pace, job control) and sometimes, chemical or other environmental exposures.
A well-designed office allows each employee to work comfortably without needing to over-reach, sit or stand too long, or use awkward postures (correct ergonomic design). Sometimes, equipment or furniture changes are the best solution to allow employees to work comfortably. On other occasions, the equipment may be satisfactory but the task could be redesigned. For example, studies have shown that those working at computers have less discomfort with short, hourly breaks.
Situations in offices that can lead to injury or illness range from physical hazards (such as cords across walkways, leaving low drawers open, objects falling from overhead) to task-related (speed or repetition, duration, job control, etc.), environmental (chemical or biological sources) or design-related hazards (such as nonadjustable furniture or equipment). Job stress that results when the requirements of the job do not match the capabilities or resources of the worker may also result in illness.
Tobacco substitutes
When quitting smoking many people feel the need
for help in the form of a tobacco substitute. There are a wide variety of
different products billed as alternatives to smoking that are supposedly healthier.
The main additive in cigarettes that makes them so addictive is
nicotine. Hence most of the products that aim to replace smoking are nicotine
replacements such as nicotine gum, inhalers, patches and medications.
Other products are sold as smokeless tobacco such as snuff and hookah or as better because they are low yield cigarettes. Not all of these smoking substitutes are
healthy or even better than cigarettes.
Strategies
Tobacco use can lead to nicotine dependence and serious health problems. Cessation can significantly reduce the risk of suffering from smoking-related diseases. Tobacco dependence is a chronic condition that often requires repeated interventions, but effective treatments and helpful resources exist. Smokers can and do quit smoking. In fact, today there are more former smokers than current smokers.
Staying away
This document provides strategies for reducing alcohol consumption or abstaining from drinking. It suggests keeping track of alcohol intake, setting limits on drinking days and quantities, pacing drinks and having non-alcoholic drinks between alcoholic ones. Avoiding triggers for drinking and planning responses to resist social pressure are also recommended. Practicing refusal skills by role playing expected situations can help build confidence to say no to drink offers. The goal is for the reader to choose strategies that work for them and maintain control over their own drinking choices.
Relapse
Don't give up
Changing habits such as smoking, overeating, or drinking too much can take a lot of effort, and you may not succeed with the first try. Setbacks are common, but you learn more each time. Each try brings you closer to your goal. Whatever course you choose, give it a fair trial.
If one approach doesn't work, try something else. If a setback happens, get back on track as quickly as possible. In the long run, your chances for success are good.
Research shows that most heavy drinkers, even those with alcoholism, either cut back significantly or quit.
Withdrawal
Alcohol withdrawal syndrome is a set of symptoms that people who have a history of alcoholism experience when they stop drinking. People who are casual drinkers rarely have withdrawal symptoms.
People who have gone through withdrawal before are more likely to have withdrawal symptoms each time they quit drinking.
Symptoms of alcohol withdrawal can range from severe to mild, and can include:
-- Insomnia
-- Nightmares
-- Irritability
-- Fatigue
-- Shakes
-- Sweats
-- Anxiety
-- Depression
-- Headaches
-- Decreased appetite
Severe withdrawal symptoms include fever, convulsions and delirium tremens (DTs). Those who experience DTs may become confused, anxious and even have hallucinations. DTs can be very serious if they are not treated by a doctor.

Safety
Injury is the #1 killer of children and teens in the United States. In 2009, more than 9,000 youth age 0-19 died from unintentional injuries in the United States. Millions more children suffer injuries requiring treatment in the emergency department. Leading causes of child injury include motor vehicle crashes, suffocation, drowning, poisoning, fires, and falls.1 Child injury is predictable and preventable. It is also among the most under-recognized public health problems facing our country today.
Progress has been made in preventing child injury. Child injury death rates have decreased 29% in the last decade.2 Yet injury is still the leading cause of death for children and teens. More can be done to keep our children safe.
Shiatsu
Shiatsu is a physical therapy that supports
and strengthens the body’s natural ability to heal and balance itself. It works
on the whole person - not just a physical body, but also a psychological,
emotional and spiritual being.
Shiatsu originated in Japan from traditional
Chinese medicine, with influences from more recent Western therapies. Although
shiatsu means ‘finger pressure’ in Japanese, in practise a practitioner uses
touch, comfortable pressure and manipulative techniques to adjust the body’s
physical structure and balance its energy flow. It is a deeply relaxing
experience and regular treatments can alleviate stress and illness and maintain
health and well-being.
