Do not underestimate Sensitive Teeth



Sensitive teeth is not only bad for health. Sensitive teeth too bad psychological effect. Sense of pain often makes the sufferer irritable.

Based on the results of independent research conducted by AC Nielsen on the dental health of the people of Indonesia in 2010, carrying about 50 percent of Indonesia's population experience dental problems which is an indication of pain sensitive teeth.

The data show that the Indonesian people do not understand about the problem of sensitive teeth. Usually they just leave without serious handling problems because it is considered reasonable and only occurs seasonally.

No less a person aware of dental problems because they only consider sensitive health problems that interfere with the extent of dental cavities, tartar, and the complaint because of aesthetic dental treatment (braces), not sensitive teeth are more often ignored. The data mentioned, 52 percent of people do not realize it without consulting a dentist, even 50 percent of patients remained untreated for this problem.

Dental Detailing Manager Glaxo Smith Kline Consumer Healthcare, Mary Melissa said, the people here are still many who do not understand about what is meant by sensitive teeth. That much they know, usually found only in the cavities or tartar.

"Tooth sensitivity is tooth ache sharp and short when exposed to food or drink that is too hot, cold, acid, or exposed to touch a tool (brush teeth)," he said on the show 'Sensodyne Expert Sharing' held Sensodyne, some time ago.

Part tooth sensitivity is most vulnerable to canines, small molars, and molars. In addition, the teeth of the left hand more often feel the pain than the right.


Maria explained that the sense of pain in sensitive teeth arise if the open end of the dentin tubules exposed to stimuli that change the direction of fluid movement within dentine tubules which continue to the sensor nerves. From the existence of sensitive teeth, it is mentioned that 1 in 3 people suffer from pain due to dentine hypersensitivity with most patients are those aged 20 to 50 years. With the number of patients at most are women.

"Allegedly, it's because women tend to be more diligent in maintaining dental hygiene and how to brush her teeth too hard," said Maria.


Periodontal specialists from the Faculty of Dentistry, University of Indonesia (UI FKG), Drg Robert Lessang Sp Perio said, there are many sensitive teeth due to diet, such as eating foods that are too hot, cold, or acid.

The sense of pain in sensitive teeth caused by thinning of enamel or email (the outermost layer of teeth) which of them could be caused by incorrect tooth brushing, as brushing your teeth too hard and carried out with the wrong movement is to the left and right, but the truth is to the top below.

Teeth whitening or bleaching technique that uses chemicals high concentrations can also be caused thinning of the email on the teeth.

Even when improper brushing can also affect the occurrence of tooth enamel erosion. The wrong habits such as brushing teeth immediately after brushing your teeth after eating breakfast because the mouth is acidic atmosphere which facilitates the erosion of tooth enamel when rubbed.

So, you should brush your teeth after getting out of bed in the morning, the aim isn't to clean up leftovers, but to prevent the formation of plaque or tartar. "Brush your teeth 25 minutes after a meal if you want to brush your teeth after breakfast," he advised.

Is still said to Robert, better if in a hurry, enough teeth cleaned by rinsing or food left on teeth can be cleaned with dental floss after breakfast.

The study also found no negative effects to health from drinking tea with large numbers. So that was quoted by the Daily Mail, Monday (03/28/2011).

In clinical trials with high quality in the UK, 21 volunteers drank 240 ml cup of tea for 12 hours (equivalent to below one liter of tea). Or the same amount, boiling water is served in warm conditions. Tea including 20 ml semi-skimmed milk but without sugar.

Vitamins Reduce Heart Disease Risk




Not only beneficial to maintain the vitality and endurance, regular vitamin intake can prevent certain diseases. One of them heart disease. 

Vitamins are essential nutrients without the calories and necessary for human metabolism. Vitamins can not be produced by the human body, but food is obtained from daily activities. The specific function of vitamin is a cofactor (helper element) for enzymatic reactions. 

Vitamins also play a role in various other body functions, including regeneration of the skin, eyesight, nervous system, immune system, and blood clotting. The body needs a different amount for each vitamin. Every person has different vitamin requirements. 

Recent research shows that eating regular multivitamin may help women without cardiovascular disease to prevent heart attacks. However, the efficacy of vitamin pills does not appear to be influential in women who had suffered from heart disease. The study was conducted by Dr. Susanne Rautiainen and colleagues at the Karolinska Instituted in Stockholm, Sweden. 

These findings do not provide an answer to the question of whether vitamin useful as a prevention of disease. "It's important to remember that multivitamin users tend to be healthier in general. They usually will reduce smoking, more physically active, and have a healthy diet, "says Rautiainen.

Eddy again suggest, how to recognize the content of excessive preservatives, can be tested in animals such as cats. Consumers can try the food suspected of containing a lot of preservatives. Before the animals eat a meal, typically animal sniffed first. If food is suspected of being exposed to preservatives, these animals usually do not want to eat because the animals already know that the food is mixed with something dangerous. 

Air Pollution Can Cause Emphysema

According to data from Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital (RSCM), 46% of disease in Jakarta are caused by air pollution, where the diseases are generally respiratory infections, asthma, and lung cancer.

In addition to these diseases, the pollution is also potentially lead to physiological changes in humans, such as weakening the function of lungs and affect blood pressure. A new study reinforces that fact.

Air pollution shown to aggravate symptoms in people with lung diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which is a group of lung conditions which severely damaged the disease including emphysema and chronic bronchitis.
