Fixing of Loose Teeth

 

Can I tighten my loose teeth? The answer is ‘yes’. Yes, you can tighten your loose teeth as before. Our believe is that we are adult and once our teeth are loose, (whatever reason may be) we have nothing to do and left untreated. But this is wrong belief and due to unaware of the fact we never care to protect our teeth and consequently loose it.

Reason of loose teeth

There are many reasons behind loose teeth. The main reason of loose teeth is poor oral hygiene. Maximum cases of loose teeth are due to poor oral hygiene. Other causes are injury on teeth, disease related to gum, pregnancy or osteoporosis.

Protecting loose teeth

It is better to meet a dentist and discuss the issue. He will suggest the best treatment for your loose teeth. In modern age there are several methods. The main method to fix the loose teeth is to join the loose tooth with adjacent teeth with the help of fibre or wire. It is called dental splinting. There are other methods also including medicines. It is just like healing of fracture of bones. If broken parts of bones are placed together and left for several weeks, automatically the bones will be joined together. Besides this avoid eating hard food. Gargle with salt water and maintain dental hygiene. The main idea of tighten the teeth is to maintain the oral hygiene and leave it undisturbed.

Fever and Home remedies

Fever is not a disease. When a person’s body temperature increases above the normal range, we call the person is suffering from fever. The normal body temperature slightly differs from one to another. Normally the body temperature of a person is ranging between 37.1 and 38.3 C (98.6 to 100 F). When the body temperature increases the person feels cold or chills. Sometimes fever may go up to 108oF also. More than 30% children are brought to Health Care for treatment of fever.

Symptoms: The person is feeling chills or shivering is the main symptom of fever. Other symptoms are loss of appetite, headache, irritation, muscle pain, lethargy, sleepiness and weakness.

Main cause of fever is infection caused by virus, bacteria and parasite. Common cold, influenza, urinary tract infection, malaria, dengue etc are common fever related diseases. Other reasons are vaccination, cancer etc.

Remedies: In most of the cases intake of plenty fluid, light diet and rest can help to reduce the temperature. Home remedies include turmeric, ginger, basil (tulsi), lemon-honey, coriander seed power (Dhaniya) and cumin-water (jeera). Paracetamol may help to lower the body temperature. Doctor will prescribe as per the body weight and age. At least six hours gap should be maintained between intake of medicine.
