Today we will be discussing about one particular health-related topic which is “Gingivitis Gum Disease” written by healthcare professionals and students who are pursuing degrees in the medical or healthcare field. So read on:

Gingivitis Gum Disease- Brushing is a very important aspect in our day-to-day life which is a good way to keep ourselves and our teeth healthy. It is important that an individual brushes his or her teeth twice a day or after each meal which will keep both the teeth and the body healthy by keeping bacteria at bay.

     It is mainly diabetes, smoking, HIV, systemic diseases and certain medication usage which causes gingivitis gum disease. Gingivitis is the mildest form of periodontal disease which causes redness of the gum, swelling in the gum and bleeding. It can only be taken care of through professional treatment care or oral home care which means an individual would require to brush his or her teeth twice daily.
     Untreated gingivitis can cause problems to the gum lines and this problem is known as periodontitis which can cause plaque to spread and grow below the gum line.
     There are many forms of periodontitis, the most common one are the aggressive periodontitis, chronic periodontitis, periodontitis as a manifestation of systemic diseases and the necrotizing periodontitis disease. Aggressive periodontitis occurs when destruction of the bones starts. Chronic periodontitis results in inflammation within the supporting tissues of the teeth which later loosens the tooth, Necrotizing periodontitis is an infection characterized by necrosis of gingival tissues, periodontal ligament and alveolar bone.
     If a person has gingivitis, it can cause severe gum disease. Gingivitis always starts off building plaque, an invisible bacteria stuck on teeth and gum which can be prevented through brushing of teeth twice daily and flossing. Consult a dentist for quick cure or the condition may start to worsen.

Risks, Types and Causes of Atrial Flutter and CPR Classes in Palm Harbor

Atrial flutter is a problem when the atria of the ticker beats rapidly and regularly due to an anomaly of the ticker’s electrical system that usually results in a tachycardia (an abnormally fast heart rate). An individual with the condition may get feelings like near-fainting, rapid heartbeats (palpitations), mild shortness of breath and fatigue. During atrial flutter, the ticker beats extra fast about 250-400 beats per minute. This type of arrhythmia (abnormal heart rhythm) can be dangerous because complications can easily develop, and a normal heartbeat is 60-100 beats per minute. Atrial fibrillation is another arrhythmia that atrial flutter is closely related to. Atrial Flutter Types : 1.       Persistent atrial flutter which is more or less permanent. 2.       Paroxysmal atrial flutter which can come and go. An atrial flutter episode usually lasts hours or days. Risks: The main danger is that your ticker doesn’t p...

Facts About Bicuspid Aortic Valve Disease

The aortic valve is a one-way valve between the heart and the aorta, regulating blood flow from the heart into the aorta. It is the main artery from the ticker/the major blood vessel that distributes oxygen-rich blood to the body, and also prevents the blood from flowing back from the aorta into the ticker when the pumping chamber relaxes. Bicuspid Aortic Valve Disease (BAVD) is one of the most common congenital heart conditions that can go unrecognized for years without incident. Surgery is the only fix once it starts to cause problems. Normally, the aortic valve has three small flaps or leaflets that open widely and close securely to send oxygenated blood on a one-way route from the heart to the aorta. But in bicuspid aortic valve disease (BAVD), the valve has only two leaflets, which can cause life-threatening problems. This congenital heart condition affects about 1-2 percent of the population, and it is twice as likely to develop in men, might go unrecognized for years i...
