			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The most important and often overlooked form of self healthcare is oral hygiene.</strong> Many people never really think about the dentist unless they are forced to do so because of a real problem. Regular oral hygiene is important because it is the only way to ensure that one would never have to think of the dentist anyway &#8211; rather than wait while a problem develops slowly and quietly and hits with a lot f pain one day. Regular oral care keeps the dentist&#8217;s drill away and your teeth shiny white and your gums healthy and clean. <em>Daily cleansing and proper care includes regular actions that should be carried out.</em></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Why Brush twice a day &#8211; everyday?</span></em></strong></p>
<p><strong>When toothpaste ads asked us to brush twice a day, they weren&#8217;t kidding</strong>; many of us love to keep munching on small snacks, sweets or healthy food like nuts and fruit &#8211; we even unconsciously open the refrigerator door and drink half a pint of juice without even thinking!</p>
<p><em>Leaving food particles in your mouth for too long is the basis of most cavities and infections which might develop.</em> Brushing twice a day, ideally once before and after each night&#8217;s sleep &#8211; is absolutely necessary. Brushing cleans particles off your teeth regularly restores and protects the enamel. Finding the right brush &#8211; soft medium or hard &#8211; which suits your gums and your brushing style is also very important &#8211; people who brush vigorously and with a vengeance, for instance, should use soft brushes.</p>
<p><strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Fresh breath and a clean and healthy mouth &#8211; use mouth-wash</span></em></strong></p>
<p><strong>Using a mouthwash a few times a day helps with the biggest oral problem everyone faces every day <a title="bad breath" href="http://www.medicinenet.com/bad_breath/article.htm">bad breath</a>!&#8230;</strong> eating food or even leaving your mouth dry and stale for long enough can give you breath that can knock down a horse if you so much as said &#8216;hello&#8217; When dental plaque forms as a result of leftover food particles, it produces the decay which causes the smell. A mouthwash kills the germs which collect in your mouth and become the cause of bad breath. It also cleans the inner lining and around the gums &#8211; leaving you with a clean set of teeth, fewer germs and great smelling breath.</p>
<p><strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Flossing: the forgotten necessity</span></em></strong></p>
<p>Often small particles of food get lodged between your teeth and remain there despite repeated brushing. These particles become the cause of plague and cavities in time if not removed quickly, and flossing is the only way to get these particles out cleanly.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The tonsils are the protectors in the mouth that can create tremendous  problems when they develop stones in them</strong>. &#8220;Tonsilolith&#8221;, as they are  called are not very easy to diagnose. The common symptoms are  <em>constriction in the throat</em>, <em>continuous coughs</em> and <em>embarrassing bad  breath</em>. These can also result from other ailments.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>However, once confirmed, Tonsilolith removal is the only remedy</strong>.  This needs to be done very carefully and a <em>laser surgery</em> is the best  option. Hygienically done, the tonsil surface is made smooth so that  food particles do not get the scope to settle in the crevasses and  create the stones.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The removal can be done effectively by maintaining good <span style="text-decoration: underline;">oral  hygiene</span>. Washing the mouth with reputed mouth wash at least three times  is imperative. This will keep the bacteria away and keep the mouth  fresh. The formation of a white coating on the tongue is the result of  bacteria. Therefore scraping the tongue regularly is definitely  effective in Tonsilolith removal.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: justify;"><em><strong>Frequent intake of lime water mixed with salt is a time tested  remedy for the tonsil stones</strong>. Repeated gargling of the throat with plain  salt water will also prohibit formation of stones and restrict the  troubles that accompany them.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The removal can be easily done with the help of steaming</strong>. Before you  go off to bed just steam a little water and inhale the steam. This  warms the inner portion of the mouth and the stones may loosen. The  water syringe cleanses the craters in the tonsil area that accommodate  the food particles which aid the growth of the tonsil stones.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>It is best to use natural remedies that will never cause any  infection or have adverse side effects</strong>. Alcohol or any drink that tends  to dry up the mouth is definitely not going to abet the formation of  tonsil stones.<br />
<strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Brushing the teeth at least twice daily</span></strong> is a sure way to get the  tonsil stones removed. At times the doctor may prescribe antibiotics for  the elimination of the tonsil stones. These are definitely not that  reliable. <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Instead of continuing with the strong medication it is wiser  to stick to the hygiene regime that will certainly keep the pain and the  irritation out. </em></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Tonsilolith removal is easy by keeping a check on the diet.  Moreover, the moisture in the mouth will eliminate the stones and  therefore the bad breath too. <strong>Smoking is strictly to be given up if you  wish to free yourself from the attacks of tonsil stones</strong>. Follow these  tips and get rid of stones in your tonsils.</p>
