I have been told I can't brush my teeth when I take homeopathy is this true?

Homeopathic remedies for Cold Sores - frequently asked quest...
It is not a good idea to eat or drink mint or menthol when you take a homeopathic medicine. You should therefore wait half an hour after taking the remedy before brushing your teeth or eating or drinking anything. Some people are very sensitive to homeopathic remedies and they act strongly straight away, bringing out the symptoms more strongly but this 'aggravation' is usually only a short time and then the situation settles.

My friend was told she can't get pregnant because she has PID. Is this true?

Pelvic Inflammatory Disease
The more times you have PID, the more likely it is that you won't be able to have children. When you have PID, bacteria infect the tubes or cause inflammation of the tubes. This turns normal tissue into scar tissue, which can block your tubes and make it harder to get pregnant. Even having just a little scar tissue can keep you from getting pregnant.

You can also use a rubber-tipped gum massager to dislodge any particularly stubborn particles that are badly stuck in your brackets. Now you can use a small amount of toothpaste and brush your teeth. It is best to use circular, vibrating motions around the gum line. Angle your toothbrush above and below the brackets. Scrub each surface of every tooth with 10 strokes of the toothbrush.

FAQ's

FAQ's

Even though I brush my teeth daily, I still have bad breath. Why?

Fresh Breath
Bad breath is caused by bacteria in the mouth. Just brushing will not remove all the bacteria, so floss daily (to clean between the teeth), use a tongue cleaner to remove bacteria and food debris and rinse with an alcohol-free mouthwash that is clinically proven to help combat bad breath. If your gums are red, swollen or bleed when you brush or floss you may have gum disease, which can also cause bad breath. If the problem persists speak to your dentist or oral hygienist for expert advice.

Fresh Breath
From as early as five years old children should be encouraged to apply the 45O method, also known as the Bass Technique (see more under brushing). The GUM Kids Technique Toothbrush has been especially designed to help develop this good brushing technique. It has a non-slip quad-grip handle to help guide the child's hand to correctly position the toothbrush at a 45O angle, so that that the bristles clean under the gum line.

I brush my teeth twice a day so why do I need to floss too?

Fresh Breath
Ninety percent of dental problems start between the teeth, where brushing cannot reach. So in addition to brushing twice a day it is important to floss at least once a day. Flossing removes food debris and bacteria from between the teeth and under the gum line.

Cleaning those small, tight areas under and around your braces means brushing and flossing carefully after every meal. Afterwords, carefully check your braces and teeth in a mirror to make sure they are clean.

How do you take a bath, brush your teeth, and go to the bathroom in space?

NASA - NASA-JSC FAQ
There is no bath or shower on the shuttle, so astronauts just wash off with wet washcloths, using soaps that you don't have to rinse off. When they brush their teeth, they can either swallow the toothpaste or spit it into a washcloth. Designing a toilet for zero-gravity is tougher. The astronauts use air flow to make the urine or feces go where they want, since gravity will not do it for them.

Orchid Dental Care - FAQ
The best way to keep plaque off your teeth is to brush and clean between your teeth. You should brush twice a day with a toothbrush that has soft bristles. Be sure that your toothbrush is the right size and shape to fit into all corners of your mouth. Brush in a circular motion and not in a sawing motion, making sure a portion of the gum is covered as well. Improper toothbrushing can wear out your teeth or leave behind harmful plaque, especially near the gumline."

When can my child brush and floss their own teeth?

Center for Pediatric Dental Care
We recommend that parents brush their children's teeth for the first five to seven years of life, since young children lack the manual dexterity of proper tooth brushing. The toothbrush should be a child's size, with soft nylon rounded bristles. Toothpaste should not be used until the child is able to spit (three to four years of age) to avoid swallowing it. A pea-sized drop should be dispensed by the parent for young children. Flossing should be performed by the parent prior to brushing.

My gums bleed when I brush my teeth, what should I do?

Wake Cross Roads Dentistry - Frequently Asked Questions
Bleeding gums is never a good sign! However, the condition may or may not require professional attention, depending on the source of the problem. Bleeding gums can be caused by improper, rough, ‘scrubbing’ instead of gentle, circular brushing motions; using a hard-bristled tooth brush instead of a soft one; plaque and/or tartar build-up below the gum line; or gum sensitivity due to gingivitis or periodontal disease.
