Your body is like a machine, while it consists of different parts, they all must work properly for the machine to work properly as a whole. So, dental hygiene, and thus dental health, are important to the overall health of your body. This may seem somewhat obvious, but many people fail to make the connection between the health of their teeth, and the health of the rest of their body, so let’s take a closer look at how dental hygiene affects your health.

The mouth has tons of bacteria growing and living in it. These bacteria, when not properly controlled cause tooth decay, which leads to more serious problems like gum disease, which then lead to even more serious problems like heart disease. It is a chain of events, and not directly connected, but there is a connection, and it is important to understand how keeping your mouth free from harmful bacteria can also reduce your chances of heart disease.

When bacteria in the mouth are not kept under control by daily hygiene practices, plaque, or bacteria, build up in the mouth. This plaque leads to gum disease, cavities, root decay and the like. This eventually leads to tooth loss, jaw bone loss, etc. As these diseases take over the mouth, they find their way into the blood stream. The heart and your blood are very closely related. So, as you can see, not brushing twice daily, and not flossing daily, as well as other important aspects of dental hygiene may lead to more serious problems.

Studies have been conducted for years about this very issue, and researchers have begun to connect all sorts of serious health problem with poor dental health. They have found that infections in the mouth enter the blood stream and can start to attack the arteries and the heart itself. This is not just talk, studies have shown people with poor oral health have a higher risk for heart attacks and strokes, and hosts of other health problems.

Studies have also shown, and researchers have found poor dental health in a pregnant mother can lead to premature birth of a baby. It is very important for women in childbearing years to be vigilant about keeping good oral health. Premature births are related to gum disease, and this, is too bad, as gum disease is easily avoided through proper dental hygiene. How does gum disease lead to premature birth? Well, the infection and bacteria caused by gum disease can end up affecting the development of an unborn child. So, while there are some dental procedures that can not be performed while a woman is pregnant, regular cleanings, and brushing and flossing your teeth are not one of them. Also, if you can help it, make sure your teeth are in good condition BEFORE you get pregnant.

Obviously the above two examples are a bit extreme, but that does not mean that dental hygiene can’t affect more of your everyday health. Tooth decay and gum irritation can be very painful and difficult to deal with, and can cause a lot of stress that do things like elevate blood pressure, and weaken immune systems.

So, what can you do to live healthier? Maintain better dental hygiene and oral health. This includes eating healthier, limiting sugared foods, getting enough calcium and other nutrients. It also means getting regular checkups, brushing twice daily for a minimum of 2 minutes, and while practicing proper brushing technique. It also means flossing daily, not the day before and day of a dentist office visit. If you maintain good dental hygiene, you will be healthier, and have a better smile.

Toothaches can be one of the most irritating things because of how much pain it can cause, it is almost enough to drive you crazy. The worst part about a really bad toothache is the constant throbbing that never seems to go away. It seems like every time you breathe or move the pain intensifies, no matter how hard you try to avoid the tooth that hurts. Majority of the time this pain is caused by a cavity, but sometimes that pain can be caused from an abscess tooth or an injury to the mouth.

The only way to fix any of those problems is to go into the dentist, but even the best dentist might not be able to see you immediately. With a toothache sometimes even having to wait a day to get into your dentist can seem like forever. The good news is there are quite a few things you can try to help ease the pain until you can get into the dentist.

Tip one:

Try gently removing any food particles from the tooth with your toothbrush or dental floss. Afterwards swish some warm salt water around in your mouth to help ease the pain and to make sure that all of the food particles have been removed. The good thing with the warm salt water is it can be done as often as necessary.

Tip two:

When you are eating try to avoid chewing on that side of your mouth. Also try to stay away from foods that are very hot or very cold as this could cause the tooth to hurt even more. Also sticking with soft foods will help to avoid putting pressure on the tooth. Be sure to gently brush your teeth after eating to avoid having food particles stuck in the tooth.

Tip three:

Try putting a cotton ball soaked in clove oil directly on the tooth. Clove oil has soothing and infection-fighting properties that might help to relieve the pain. If this makes your tooth ache worse immediately remove the cotton ball and rinse your mouth really good with warm salt water.

Tip four:

You can also try placing a tea bag between the infected tooth and your cheek or holding the tea bag gently between your teeth.

Tip five:

A tried and true method is using an ice pack. You can use frozen vegetables in a bag, a zip lock sandwich bag with a few ice cubes, or a regular ice pack to help provide relief. Simply hold the ice pack on the outside of the cheek closest to the tooth that hurts.

Tip six:

You can also use over the counter topical medications that contain numbing medications. The medication used to numb the tooth can be lidocaine or benzocaine. Orajel is an over the counter product that you apply directly to the tooth and it usually provides instant relief.

Tip seven:

You can also take over the counter pain relievers such as aspirin, Tylenol, and ibuprofen. Ibuprofen is probably the best choice because it contains an anti-inflammatory that will reduce any swelling in your gums, as well as provide pain relief. Some people might recommend that you chew the pain relievers or rub it on your gums, but do not do this as it can cause new or further injury to the gums.

Tip eight:

If the pain does not get better or just continues to get worse you can go to the nearest emergency room to get prescription painkillers.

Regardless of what method or methods you use to help relieve the pain you need to get into the dentist as soon as possible. Remember when going to see the dentist be sure to tell him about anything you did to help relieve the pain.

If you are thinking of a career in sports massage therapy, you will want to pick a school that offers great courses. Depending on your philosophy, you may want to find a course that focuses more on the traditional medicine area or the holistic appraoch. Some sports massage therapists blend the two areas to give clients the best of both worlds. Ask if the course includes such therapies as structural and postural evaluation, neuromuscular therapy, myofascial release, stretching or remedial tissue massage.

Be sure to ask if there is any type of certification, diploma, or accreditation that comes along with the completion of the course.
