- [The Ugly Duckling.](https://codeclinic.ug/uncategorized/the-ugly-duckling/): These days however, many more kids are experiencing delayed shedding of milk teeth and crowding when the permanent ones emerge.Evidence shows that diets have a role to play in this.Urban diets are getting softer and for that reason do not stimulate the jaws to grow as fast as they should.

- [Digging Your Own Grave With Your Own Teeth](https://codeclinic.ug/uncategorized/digging-your-own-grave-with-your-own-teeth/): Dentists have known for a long time that gum disease is a recipe for heart attacks and stroke but it has always been a challenge convincing people that something as painless as gum disease is life threatening. Well until recently it was hard to prove but now we have overwhelming evidence that gum disease is a cause of heart disease and stroke. A study reported in the journal, Circulation, found that 50% of heart attacks were caused by mouth bacteria which would only end up in the heart’s blood vessels if one had gum disease or long standing tooth decay. Diagnostic tests to prove that mouth bacteria are out of the normal range are also available now and can be conducted before treating gum disease and after to prove that the bacteria  have reduced to a level that cannot cause  damage to the body.Had I been equipped with all this evidence in 2015 then I would have probably convinced Lavina to take gum disease seriously and she would still be alive.

- [Brush for Success,Longevity and Total Health.](https://codeclinic.ug/uncategorized/brush-for-successlongevity-and-total-health/): One of the only negatives of rote memory is that you no longer think when brushing your teeth! Actually, many people are making tooth brushing mistakes. You may need to tweak your routine to better support your oral health and safeguard your smile from dental caries and gum disease. Here are vital tooth brushing tips: 1. Take your time. It’s understandable. You want to get it over with and go to bed. Proper teeth cleaning takes time and careful attention. Time yourself the next time you brush – you might be surprised at how promptly you finish. The process should take at least take two to three minutes. It can also be helpful to take a different route around your mouth every few days. By adjusting your routine, you approach areas from a different, and possibly, better angle. 2. Don’t forget to floss. No matter how agile you can be with your brush, it’s difficult to clear away the plaque from all those narrow gaps between your teeth. That is where bacteria can easily propagate and start the decay process. 3. Use the right toothbrush. It is ironic that some people damage their enamel or gums because they brush too hard with a hard brush. We only advise patients to use a soft brush. If you’ve had gum grafts, you may want to use an extra soft brush. 4. Don’t keep your toothbrush near the toilet. This is horrible to think about, but each time the toilet is flushed, bacteria is sent far into the air – even if you close the lid. Keep your toothbrush in a clean place and permit it to air dry. 5. Use fluoride toothpaste. This may seem like a no-brainer but you may be surprised that some oral care products don’t contain fluoride. And you may think it’s only for children. Not true. Your enamel is continuously under assault from acidic foods and drinks and fluoride helps it remineralize. Which of the five recommendations from above are new for you?
