Choosing the Right Dentist for Your Family’s Oral Hygiene
If you are anything like the statistical average American, your family likely doesn’t see the dentist as often as you would like them to. We overwhelmingly—at a staggering 85 percent—believe oral hygiene is "very or extremely important," and yet, over 40 percent don’t see the dentist often enough. A whole host of reasons could be preventing you from booking your next appointment—anything from simple forgetfulness to the overall skyrocketing costs of healthcare. However, a clean smile has long been associated with heart health, especially in older patients and is an essential part of your overall wellbeing.

Why Is it Important to Reduce Exposure to X-Ray Radiation?
X-rays, or electromagnetic radiation waves, have been an incredible asset to modern medicine and dental services, since their discovery in 1895. These invisible waves pass very easily through soft tissue, like human skin and muscle, but are absorbed by harder substances, such as bones and teeth. These attributes make x-rays great for creating images of the inner human body.

A Glimpse into Epilepsy
In my four years of medical schooling, one of my stand-out conversations and lessons learned was from a consultant neurologist, working within the mysterious field of brain disorders. He did not so much demand as instruct that, if I wished to pursue a career in neurology (I was toying with the idea at the time, and to an extent, and still am), I ought to “be a bit more eccentric." He told me that I should get a tattoo. So, like the impressionable medical student that I was, I did. It is a simple lightning bolt, black ink, barely noticeable. It sits behind my right ear. Very few people see it or ask about it. But it represents to me all that is magical about the brain: It represents the name my family gave to the seizures that my epileptic brother, Alfie, suffered from in childhood. It represents a step taken to make the seizures seem less medical, and hence less frightening. Fear is at the root of all that we do not understand, and medicine is a complicated field frequently underpinned by it.

3 Easy Ways to Improve Your Oral Health
You may not realize it, but oral health is a significant indicator of overall well-being. The Mayo Clinic reports that conditions like heart disease, premature birth, diabetes, osteoporosis, and more may be linked to or caused by poor oral hygiene. Ultimately, investing in dental services and oral health is an excellent way to safeguard your quality of life and keeps healthcare costs down in the future. And since the World Health Organization estimates that dental treatments alone represent 5 percent of total health expenditures and 20 percent of out-of-pocket healthcare spending in most high-income countries, taking preventative action early on is a must.

Is Your Man Looking After Their Smile?
Apparently, it is a real thing and is where men tend to assume that they are invincible, and they don’t really need to take good care of their bodies. Men with this syndrome tend to ignore signs that something is wrong, and merely hope their body will somehow sort the situation out. A recent survey discovered that bleeding gums are a typical example of this mindset.
