#Side Effects of Root Canal

[birchmountsshepparddental]

When dentists are looking to treat infected tooth pulp, they will perform a common dental procedure known as root canal therapy. While modern technologies have revolutionized root canals, the procedure is lengthy and painful. 

When it comes to root canal procedures, dentists will say that there are lots of root canal treatment side–effects that will harm your teeth and gums in the long run. While dentists will discuss the possible side effects, you will need to be careful at the end. 

While the blog post will share possible side–effects of root canal therapy, you will be able to able to consider these impacts on your mouth, teeth, and gums. It is necessary to check out some lesser–known side – effects of root canals from this article.

i saw that one disability-related post a while ago about dental care but i can't find it again so i'm gonna mention a few things as a (mild to moderately) mentally & physically disabled person, whose teeth hurt when i eat sweet stuff now + i've had a root canal due to a fall + i'm learning to take care of myself, that may or may not help other folks with their dental routine

note: i am not a dentist & this info is mostly what i've gleaned secondhand from dentists, so yeah, i am not an expert in any capacity

water flossers aren't as effective as regular flossing (doing both is actually what's most effective) but they're better than nothing & helpful in cases where coordination problems or other issues might prevent regular flossing technique (i imagine this also depends on the quality of the water flosser)

if you use one of the plastic pre-made floss picks things, rinse the string off in-between each time you use it to floss one side of a tooth, it's tedious but it mimics moving to a new (clean) part of the thread like you do with regular floss

if you get an automatic toothbrush, get one that does circular rotation rather than just vibrating or whatever, as this mimics the tools they use in a dentist's office + imitates the circular motion you're expected to make with a standard toothbrush (which is also hard with coordination issues), i got one that does this pretty cheap from walmart (it's an oral-b but i forgot the specific type) + it automatically times it for you

if you have white spots on your teeth that are uneven with the shade of the rest of the tooth those are potentially white spot lesions due to demineralization; whitening products can make this worse rather than help it, but some products can help with remineralization such as mi paste topical tooth creme, which contains calcium and phosphate (i have yet to try this myself but it seems to get suggested by a lot of dentists, orthodontists, etc. for white spots on teeth & it's also supposed to help with sensitivity and tooth health in general because the white spots are lesions so it's not purely cosmetic!)

it's advised to not rinse your mouth immediately after brushing as this potentially dilutes & reduces the effects of the flouride (if you use fluoride toothpaste), stuff says to wait at least 15 minutes or so

just giving your teeth a quick scrub (even if it's without toothpaste and just water) is better than not brushing your teeth at all

if you have trouble seeing a dentist for financial reasons, try to see if there are income-based or charity dental services in your area, sometimes dental schools also provide low-cost/free dental care

that's all i can think of for now, i wish i had more advice for people who struggle to be able to brush their teeth at all in general but this is all i got unfortunately :(

additionally - you're not bad, useless, gross, or a failure if you struggle to (or can't) maintain oral hygiene; this stuff is much easier for some people than it is to others & those who take it for granted like to forget that, no one deserves to be mocked or looked down on for being disabled & struggling to/not being able to do """basic""" stuff like this!

Why do you hate piloting narrowboats?

“To steer a narrowboat you stand on the back, look forward along the roof, and grip between your buttocks a brass broom-handle which is bolted to the rudder. Every ripple strikes to the roots of your teeth. A moment’s inattention and sixteen tons of steel and crockery smash into the scenery. If you hit another narrowboat you bounce off, and if you hit a fibreglass cruiser you pass through it, making practically no noise at all.”— Narrow Dog To Carcassonne, by Terry Darlington

“A narrowboat tiller has considerable decorative value, and is something to lean on in time of trouble, but its effect on the direction of a boat is small. When you go forward the propeller winds your stern round to the right, and drives water from under you, sucking you into the bank. When you reverse you swing the other way. The current or the wind can always take you over.”— Narrow Dog To Carcassonne by Terry Darlington

A narrowboat is usually a heavy steel craft in an ungainly shape - ours was the normal shape, seven feet wide by sixty feet long - steered from the back by tiller. Everything happening to the front has already happened, there’s no steering backwards and your ability to steer is determined by water passing over the rudder. The boat draws two feet and the canals are about three feet deep with a foot of that being mud. Complex manoeuvres are often required; swing bridges, single-handing locks, nosing up to kiss a waterpoint.

You can also use the bargepole (that’s the bargepole you wouldn’t touch things with.) here is someone doing it in peaky blinders. The actor is shown just flailing around hopelessly, which is also what an expert narrowboat pilot does.

Expert observers will notice that the canals of the mainland UK are fittingly narrow as hell. How do you turn a narrowboat around, you may ask - or are you trapped only going in one direction? Of course you aren’t. If you aren’t able to do an open water turn, which you can only do rarely, you simply find a winding hole - this is pronounced with the “wind” like “wind as in breeze” - and ram into it in a respectful way; then you turn around naturally, perhaps pushed by the wind like a toy in the bath until you bonk gently into the sides enough to face the right way. Or perhaps you can throw the tiller hard over and pretend to be steering a spaceship. Or just poke things with the bargepole until you’re around. That’s how you turn around. You bonk into the side until you’re facing the other way.

This whole time, the boat (the sixteen ton steel boat in the stupidest possible shape) contains your laptop and clothes and all of your possessions and sometimes your spouse. At any given moment, between the mild boredom and moments of sheer terror, you have wretched little thoughts of it going wrong and losing them all.

Anyway I do love narrowboats a lot, and I liked it a lot, and I miss our boat. but I don’t think I would do it as a fun and relaxing hobby, and I don’t think I would live on one again. It was a Lot, and, much like the tiller itself, much of it is outside of your control. I still dream of weirs and boat fires and drowned boats.

Desperate Gloom to Anxious Dread

Back when my husband and I were dating, he labeled one of my moods Desperate Gloom. It was so accurate, I burst out laughing. Driving up to Orlando for his clinical trial, I was antsy and angry. After months of no periods, I suddenly got two a week a part and right before our road trip. I was trying to articulate my edgy restlessness and came up with Anxious Dread. He laughed and said he’s had it too.

The clinical trial was fine. Very delayed for a computer glitch in the drug company so an 8 hour day became 11. Most of it was waiting around. Sit in the car. Sit in the hospital. Sit in the car. Sit in the hospital. Sit in the car. Cracker Barrel. Poke Bowl. Continental Breakfast.

My husband has only had mild side effects so far. Usually it takes a few days for them to kick in. We had lots of good talks and just friendly companionship that had been missing for years. In the last few months, we’ve managed to break through some barriers and trust more deeply. It’s nice to feel that connection again.

I was actually pretty happy. An hour before we arrived home, I got a voicemail moving my endocrinologist’s appointment up to tomorrow, a full week early. I called to double check and adjust the appointment time. As suspected, biopsy results are in.

So, now I’m all what does that mean that he scheduled an earlier appointment? Is it because the news is bad? Or is he trying to relieve some anxiety? Honestly, keeping the scheduled appointment would have done that. So now I’m worried. I need to make two lists of questions: one for positive, one for negative.

And then I get to have my first root canal.

Anxious Dread, here I come!

Did You Know? Your Mouth Produces Over 25,000 Liters of Saliva in a Lifetime

Saliva is one of the most underrated yet essential fluids produced by the human body. Over the course of a lifetime, the average person produces more than 25,000 liters of saliva — enough to fill two swimming pools! While saliva might seem like a mundane topic, it plays a vital role in maintaining your oral health and overall well-being. Let’s explore this fascinating subject in depth.

What is Saliva and Why is it Important?

Saliva is a clear, watery fluid secreted by the salivary glands in your mouth. Composed mostly of water, it also contains essential enzymes, proteins, minerals, and antibacterial compounds that help maintain oral and overall health. Here are some key functions of saliva:

Protects Your Teeth and Gums: Saliva neutralizes acids in your mouth, helping to prevent tooth decay and gum disease.

Aids in Digestion: It contains enzymes like amylase that help break down carbohydrates before swallowing.

Moistens and Lubricates: Saliva ensures that your mouth stays moist, making it easier to chew, swallow, and speak.

Fights Bacteria: Its antimicrobial properties combat harmful bacteria, reducing the risk of infections.

Supports Taste Sensation: Without saliva, your ability to taste food would be significantly diminished.

How Does Saliva Production Work?

Saliva is produced by three major pairs of salivary glands:

Parotid Glands: Located near the ears, these glands produce a watery secretion rich in enzymes.

Submandibular Glands: Found under the lower jaw, these glands produce a mix of enzymes and mucus.

Sublingual Glands: Situated beneath the tongue, these glands produce a mucus-rich saliva.

In addition to these, minor salivary glands throughout the mouth contribute to saliva production. On average, a healthy person produces about 1 to 1.5 liters of saliva per day.

25,000 Liters Over a Lifetime: Why So Much?

Producing over 25,000 liters of saliva in a lifetime may seem excessive, but when broken down, it makes sense:

Daily Production: Roughly 1.5 liters per day.

Lifespan: Over 70 years, this adds up to the astounding total of 25,000 liters or more.

Saliva production is continuous but varies throughout the day. It increases when eating, drinking, or even thinking about food and decreases during sleep. This consistent production is crucial for keeping your mouth healthy and functioning.

What Happens When Saliva Production is Insufficient?

A lack of adequate saliva, known as xerostomia or dry mouth, can lead to a range of oral health issues, including:

Increased risk of cavities and gum disease

Difficulty in chewing, swallowing, and speaking

Bad breath (halitosis)

Altered sense of taste

Dry mouth can result from dehydration, medication side effects, or underlying medical conditions. If you experience persistent dry mouth, consult a dental professional.

Dental Hygienist vs Dentist: What’s the Difference?

While both dental hygienists and dentists work to improve oral health, their roles differ significantly.

Dental Hygienist

A dental hygienist specializes in preventative care, focusing on maintaining oral health. Their responsibilities include:

Performing professional teeth cleanings

Educating patients on proper oral hygiene practices

Taking X-rays and assessing gum health

Applying fluoride treatments and sealants

Dentist

Dentists are medical professionals trained to diagnose and treat oral diseases and conditions. Their tasks include:

Filling cavities and treating tooth decay

Performing root canals, crowns, and extractions

Diagnosing oral diseases like gum disease or oral cancer

Developing comprehensive treatment plans

Both professionals are essential in ensuring optimal oral health, working together to provide comprehensive care. Deepak Kansal, a skilled dental hygienist, emphasizes the importance of regular cleanings and proper oral hygiene as the foundation for a healthy smile. Learn more about his work at www.deepakkansal.com.

How to Support Saliva Production Naturally

Ensuring healthy saliva production is key to maintaining oral health. Here are some tips:

Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your salivary glands active.

Chew Sugar-Free Gum: Stimulates saliva flow, especially after meals.

Consume a Balanced Diet: Foods rich in vitamins and minerals, like fruits and vegetables, promote salivary gland health.

Avoid Tobacco and Alcohol: These can dry out your mouth and reduce saliva production.

Use a Humidifier: Helps maintain moisture in your mouth, especially while sleeping.

Fascinating Facts About Saliva

Saliva contains enzymes that begin digestion right in your mouth.

It plays a crucial role in wound healing within the oral cavity.

The average person swallows around 2,000 times a day, with saliva playing a major role in this process.

Saliva can be used for diagnostic purposes, including detecting diseases like diabetes and even COVID-19.

Final Thoughts

Saliva is much more than a simple liquid in your mouth. Its protective, digestive, and antibacterial properties are essential for overall health. By staying hydrated, practicing good oral hygiene, and consulting professionals like Deepak Kansal, Dental Hygienist, you can ensure your mouth remains healthy for years to come.

Update (good news!)

First of all, thank you all for your well wishes.

Yesterday when I woke up the swelling finally got less, so those gnarly antibiotics are now doing more than maintaining the status quo. I called the jaw surgeon for an appointment, and next Thursday I'll be getting an Apex Resection. To save you any googling, it's basically a root canal from the side, where they'll open up my gums and then drill through my jaw bone to do so.

I put the appointment on Thursday so the antibiotics can do their work a bit more. It'll make the surgery easier the more the abscess dwindles, and I'm already in this kind of fighting mode I feel I can keep up (especially since the worst is over). So I traded in a little agony these days, to save me some agony in the oncoming days.

So here's to hoping Thursday I'll be going to hospital with a somewhat normal cheek. I don't think it'll be completely normal, because it's still going really slow, but I'm feeling confident this is the right decision.

I'll probably get antibiotics again. Not sure how I'll react to those, but these ones have been kicking my ass with side effects, which is why I haven't been Tumblring. I'm glad I'm not allergic to the stuff because it's doing it's thing, but, damn, am I sensitive to those pills. General misery. I won't bore you with the details.

Miss you guys!

Safety: False Solutions

Government’s approach to safety is not to address the root of the problem – heavy, fast-moving traffic – but to enforce the segregation of people and cars. This means footways and pedestrianization for walkers, bike paths and lanes for cyclists. Motorways in Britain started as a means of separating pedestrians from the motor danger posed by cars. Experience shows however that the only road-user groups to gain substantially from segregation are car and lorry drivers. Cars have an immense greed for space that expands as opportunity arises, nullifying all but the most radical (total) safety strategies for pedestrians and cyclists. Because ‘solutions’ are devised always with cars in mind, they often cause more problems. Pavements must be protected from cars so the solution is to build rails along them, not to slow the cars down. Subways are rightly hated for their real and perceived danger. Visibility and surveillance are usually poor, and they are often badly maintained. Their steps are a particular problem for children and their carers, the elderly and people with disabilities. Foot-bridges suffer similar disadvantages in the other direction. Pedestrianization may segregate cars and people in inner-city areas but it also causes problems of access for the disabled and generates additional traffic in adjoining areas. For cyclists there is often insufficient space for continuous cycle tracks or lanes. The post-war British new towns, such as Stevenage and Peterborough, have a segregated network of cycle and pedestrian paths but this is inappropriate to older towns. Off-road routes (e.g. the Bath-Bristol pedestrian and cycle path) have been built on old railway sites, canal towpaths, bridleway’s and forest roads. But they are very limited in availability and prone to appropriation by more spacehungry and powerful forms of transport. Cycle routes using side streets are equally limited.

We have seen that “road safety” is a road lobby smokescreen to divert people from addressing the root of the problem — power. It is the power dynamic of motorisation, with its social effects of fear, retreat, isolation, ill health, injury and death. And it is the political power of the road lobby (large sections of the ruling class, the state, media, road safety lobby, oil/car/ construction companies etc). The road lobby causes the motorisation problem, then it defines how it is discussed through the “road safety” myth. Thus its ‘solutions’ prevail: keep pedestrians and cyclists out of the way, make ‘safer cars’ (safer for drivers, more dangerous for everyone else), and build more roads.

I would like to thank you. I really enjoy reading what you write. It's enough to be comforting. Thank you very much. Sorry for the English, I used Google. 😘

Dear Google Anon,

This blog is not a fascist project and I will never turn away any user who touchingly used Google Translate to read my musings. I only slap the holier-than-thou, the liars, the party poopers and the cerebral flatulence of Mordor, whose venom and bile I truly despise, especially when they are expressed in sometimes illegible English.

I am also very antithetically fond of non-professionals daring to have very strong words and very strong opinions on technical matters they absolutely have no idea about, such as a property's legal situation. I would never have the nerve or the lack of common sense to discuss the various merits or side effects of a root canal intervention, for example. It's just ridiculous: but that's another story, of course.

As you all know by now, English is not my native language. But I think it is a sign of respect to try your best when writing for an anglophone audience. You wouldn't go to your (Agony) Aunt's dining room and put your feet on her table, would you?

May I warmly thank you for your kindness and confidence. I try to keep it simple and clear, if seldom short. And I never judge, except when it comes to aggressive idiocy, weird agendas or patronizing bitching.

Thank you again, Anon. Truly. Drop by anytime.

Excerpts from Dr. Gale’s Principles of Internal Medicine - Physical and Digital Alike

There's a handful of diseases that're related to Traeh and its residents. The colours are indicative to which region is affected the most, but it can happen in any country under the right circumstances.

Leaf Atrophy (Asthenia Folia) - Effects Näcken, when the leaves on their head and shoulders start to turn yellow, orange, red, brown, or grey. Usually an indication of either stress on the body or an underlying disease, depending on the duration. Typical Näcken colouration is some variation of green. If they have reached the grey stage, it is usually a sign of end-of-life. Treatment usually requires identifying stressors or illnesses and treating them accordingly, or offering palliative care.

Flower Dropsis (Hydropisis Flores) - Effects Näcken, when in bloom season, and the flowers are not pollinated, they can produce berries which may or may not be painful depending on the type of tree they're based from. For example, an oak based Näcken will produce painful and blistering red berries, but a pine based Näcken will produce harmless blue juniper-like berries. Treatment can include either providing pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds to pollinate the remaining flowers, and plucking the berries off. Some cultures find these berries to have healing properties. Whatever floats your boat, I suppose.

Wood Scar/Bruise (Ecchymosis Xylem) - Effects Näcken, Hulder, and other wood creatures and spirits. When a patient is injured via lacerations or fractures, the resulting skin tissue will grow back differently to the rest of the patient's body. The skin will be depressed and have the texture of bark, particularly based on their species. The skin will never grow back to its original colour. Severe cases will make it hard for the patient to perform normal activities. The disease is similar to Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP), but instead of happening on the inside, it happens on the outside. Treatment errs on the side of prevention, since no cure has been found.

Heart Frost (Gelatio Cordis) - A rare type of heart cancer where the heart starts to harden over time until it eventually breaks. The disease is prevalent in wood based creatures and spirits, especially overly active patients. Symptoms include shortness of breath, low heart rate resulting in arrhythmia, unexpected weight loss, dizziness/fainting, and feeling a constant pressure on or around the sternum. Treatment has… A very low survival rate, with about 15% of patients surviving typical cancer treatment procedures. If the patient isn't responding to treatment, palliative care may need to be considered.

Mouth Death (Mors Os) - As simple as it sounds, the disease is similar to when your teeth fall out, as they do in dreams. There can be many causes for this, with some cases happening as a result of teeth being knocked loose, a failed/infected root canal, a result from phosphorus necrosis, or in rare cases scurvy or odontogenic tumours. Treatment errs on the side of prevention, but proper dental hygiene is recommended.

Hollow Weakness (Debilitas Cavum) - Effects Hulder primarily. The disease presents as an ache in their hollowed-out back, making it difficult to lean back or lay down. Mild cases tend to linger for a day or so, severe cases last for over three months. There are many causes, such as injury, strain, or exposure to materials that could irritate the open cavity. Treatment consists of bed rest, soaking the back in epsom salt infused water, and for severe cases, pain medication/soothing balms may be prescribed.

Brain Worms (Vermis Cerebri) - Similar to Lich/Zombie Delusion, but not quite. Patients with the disease feel as if worms are eating their minds, though no worms are seen on scans. It's unclear if this is a disease of delusion or a curse. There's no scientific explanation for this just yet. Treatment may need a shaman or mage. Further research is needed to see if any medicine is effective.

Scarlet Weakness (Debilitas Rubra) - The scientific name for Phoenix Pox. It is essentially a secondary Shingles infection. The symptoms are the same, a painful, burning, blistering rash that spreads from the back to the chest. Because of its intensity, it can also cause nausea and/or vomiting, insomnia, and generalised fatigue. Treatment consists of antivirals, pain relief/soothing balms, and bed rest.

Mutating Flu (Influenza Mutatio) - The scientific name for Morphing Flu. The disease starts off as a normal influenza case, but then morphs into a stronger version right before the patient recovers. This can happen with any strain of the virus, and it's cause is still unknown, but it affects the immunocompromised more often than most, resulting in walking pneumonia, high fever, renal failure, and myalgia. Treatment may include antivirals, antibiotics, pain relief/soothing balms, and bed rest.

Shining Atrophy (Asthenia Candidulum) - Effects Jellites, the membrane of their gelatin body becomes dull and matte compared to the usual glossy shine. Usually indicates illness, but can sometimes have no underlying cause. Unless paired with Membrane Ataxia, there is usually no cause for concern, but if the patient seeks treatment and there's no underlying cause, medicated balms and mycetozoa injections can typically reverse symptoms.

Membrane Ataxia (Ataxia Membranacea) - Effects Jellites, specifically the membrane of their gelatin bodies start to ooze and become difficult to maintain their form properly. It is usually a sign of the patient's end of life, and no treatment can be given. Only palliative care can be administered. Given the culture of Jellites, they will typically expel the bones and gemstones from their bodies to pass down to their kin right before death. The leftover membrane is then stored for burial.

Shining Gangrene (Gangraena Candidulum) - Effects Yanāpem, locals call this disease Kahēʻailia (Shine ailment) The outer layer of their rock bodies will start to shine, similar to thin-film interference on bubbles or oil. It's one of two symptoms of severe illnesses with this species. Causes are unknown, treatment is… Unconventional, but the procedure requires the patient to bury themselves in warm black sand for six hours.

Black Gravel (Glarea Ater) - Effects Yanāpem, locals call this disease О̄'nēve'ailia (Black sand ailment) The outer layer of their rock bodies will start to flake off into pieces as small as sand or as large as pebbles. It's one of two symptoms of severe illnesses with this species. Causes are unknown, treatment is yet again unconventional. The procedure requires the patient to bathe in a specially infused palm oil for a full day.

Sacred Burn (Ambustio Sacer) - Effects Magic Users, similar to Casting Injury. The patients typically present with a burn that is in a shape of an unnatural pattern on the body, either on the back or arms. Like all burns, the pain will depend on the severity. First degree burns will usually fade after a week. Second degree burns will partially fade after a month, and completely fade after six months. Third degree burns will partially fade for about six months, but they will be permanent. Fourth degree burns are only seen at autopsy, and the burns will not only affect the epidermis/dermis, but will go as far as bone. Treatment depends on the severity, with lesser cases treatable by aloe balms, and severe cases needing skin transplants. Treatments can prove to be difficult with species with soft skin like the Jellites, or rock-hard skin like the Yanapēm, so it is to be assessed on a case-by-case basis.

Magical Atrophy (Atrophia Magicae) - Scientific name for Cast Rot, effects Magic users. Patients typically find it difficult to not only learn how to use magic, but find it extremely difficult to control it properly. When patients try and use magic, it's an all-or-nothing approach. Either the magic barely registers, or comes out as an explosion of energy. Users will become more prone to Casting Injury or Sacred Burns if not careful. In rare cases, the patient will accidentally deplete their life energy instead of their magic energy, resulting in fatigue, injury, or in extreme cases, death. Treatment is experimental at the moment with two known methods.

Method 1, a master mage overwhelms the patient with magical energy, shocking their body to recognize the proper amount. This can be quite painful for the patient, and may not even work the first time. The patient may need multiple treatments to see results.

Method 2, a tincture made of potent and potentially poisonous ingredients is ingested in microdoses over a course of a week under supervision. This is, yet again, painful for the patient, and may not even work until a significant amount is injested. The damage to the liver is also a risk factor, and many cases of jaundice have been noted from this method.

Addendum: Method 3, a modern development, some have taken to using seling spell wrappings around the arms to direct energy properly. This is not nearly as painful as the other methods, and has shown to be just as effective, but has an air of stigma about it. Some refer to it as "training wheels" but its effectiveness in teaching the body to recognise proper magic output is unmatched. Additionally, the patient can be weaned off of them after using them for a period of time and retain the effects. Science has no explaination for this.

Mechanical beings can also be affected by diseases as well, though the classification of disease can be one of debate, these are all the known ailments for robots:

Capacitor Plague - A mechanical disease where internal components - primarily batteries and the electrolytes that power them - are manufactured and/or installed inproperly, resulting in the corrosive components to leak - or in extreme cases explode - onto the motherboard. Symptoms include lag, power fluctuations - including dangerous ESR levels, and a lingering burning smell. Replacement of faulty parts is necesary for treatment, and initiating a recharge sequence at 1 kΩ for 30minutes is reccommended to prevent further damage to the CPU and RAM.

Chassis Rot - Similar to capacitor plague, chassis rot is a phoenomena that affects the protective outer shell of robots, called the chassis, to either rust or deteriorate over time, depending on the material it's made out of. This is common for models older than 60 years old, models made of primarily metal components, or models that incur damage due to their tasks. Mild cases just require a single module to be replaces, but extreme cases will require a full body replacement, which could take up to a week to print with modern materials. If a robot finds itself with the starting stages of rot and want to temporarily patch up the area there are options. Specially made epoxy resin depending on the chassis are available, but replacement of the part is highly encouraged.

Polymorphic Viruses, Worms, and Trojans - Similar to how we become sick from viruses, bacterium, fungi and prions, robots also have to deal with a slue of diseases, however the origins are easier to trace since they are man-made. A brief description for each:

Polymorphic viruses are a type of virus that lay dormant in a robot's processor for an undisclosed period of time and slowly morph into a virus which can cause irreperable damage if not caught early. Symptoms may include display glitches, personality changes - most notably unfounded paranoia, irritability, and irrational thoughts - heatsink failure resulting in temperatures of up to 80°C (176°F), and forced system shutdown. Treatment is to isolate and remove the virus and scan it to make sure it's not infectious. Recovery depends on how early the virus is caught and can range from a couple of days to a month.

Worms are the most infectious type of virus that spread across a network rapidly. Their sole purpose is to overload processors, damage files, and steal information. Symptoms are varied depending on how advanced the worm is, and will usually be noted if there are more than 5 bots that are consecutively infected in a short period of time. The affected bots will be quarantined, scanned throughly to find the source, and have the virus manually extracted. Recovery is typically shorter than all the other infections, with it ranging from a few hours to a day at most.

Trojan viruses may sound like a combination of polymorphic viruses and worms, but their method of infection is unique. Instead of the virus being forced into the system, it is a virus that disguises itself as a legitimate program. Once infected, the virus will start to retain sensitive data, employ ransomware, or give a hacker remote access to a robots admin permissions. Symptoms are almost instant, with randsomware completely bricking a robot being a common factor. Treatment errs on the side of prevention, including only accepting files and updates from trusted individuals, backing up files, and multi-factor authentication for admin permissions. If infected, the virus is extracted, or if it's being persistant paying the ransom may be necessary. Recovery time is around the same as a worm.

Insufficient Updates - When a robot hasn't received a security update for over a year or more, it leaves them vulnerable to being infected with viruses, worms, and trojans. The longer a robot goes without an update, the less secure their system is. System updates usually take a couple of minutes when updated promptly, but if a robot has put off updates for a while, they will need to install each and every update from the last known update. Mild cases can take hours, extreme cases can take weeks, with breaks in-between updates to make sure the cognitive function hasn't been tampered with. The longest recorded case of a robot not updating is 10 years consecutively, the treatment took an entire month to implement, and another month for recovery.

Robots are built in a modular fashion, so most ailments will result in just one part or a number of closely related parts needing replacement and/or repair. However, in extreme cases, the only treatment could require a full-body replacement. However, most find this to be inefficient and expensive, so many choose to opt for self-deactivation. When robots "die" their bodies are separated into recyclable materials and smelted down to be used to build either new robots, or other machinery.

bwuhhh

can't believe I fucking decimated my mirror by barely clipping an empty trashcan (that was left out in the road btw, i wasn't like on the curb or anything)

i even had to go back and make sure I hadn't hit like, a mailbox or something really solid-- but no, there are my side-mirror's pieces, next to a tipped-over empty(!!!) trashcan without so much as a scuff mark on it.

and i wasnt distracted or anything! no phone, no screen, not even taking a sip of a drink. although ig having a sore-ass tooth (root canal) was sufficiently distracting for me to misjudge just enough for my car parts to fucking shatter. like is it made of tissue paper?? fuck me

AND to repair it you have to take apart the inside of the door. like this feels purposefully designed to fail.

I Am Going To Throw Myself Into The Sea

(also yes I know it was effectively My Own Fault. but surprisingly (/s) that makes me feel worse)

(also x2 combo: this was a couple days ago. I've just been getting price quotes so it ain't fixed yet and I can't drive it. so I'm still Upset. especially since finding one with matching paint color is apparently fucking impossible without shelling out hundreds.)

Extractions are usually cheaper than root canals by a long way, if it's a tooth you can live without. Paracetamol and ibuprofen are the main stays of treatment (take both together for max effect, avoid ibuprofen if you have stomach ulcers, take paracetamol REGULARLY every 8 hoirs whether you have pain or not), though some doctord/dentists might prescribe you codeine. As for other pain options, this is a long shot but i once had a patient with root canal pain in one of the top side teeth. She had figured out that if she constantly pressed on a specific spot on her cheek bone, the pain lessened. Google the infraorbital nerve and infraorbital foramen (the hole in the cheekbone that nerve passes through). That will tell you whether your specific painful tooth might be responsive to the same treatment, and where to press if so. (Basically, keeping pressure on the nerve tbat carries sensation from those teeth, can reduce the amount of pain you feel from that tooth, same as when you sleep funny and wake up with a numb arm because the nerves where being squashed while you slept).

Other measures you will already have figured out includes avoiding cold food/water in your mouth (in severe cases even breathing through the mouth can be too painful), and also sometimes avoiding hot and sweet. Heat packs on your face might be helpful. If you're in a pain crisis, the dentist should be able to numb the area for you with an injection, though I'm sure you'd have to pay for a consultation fee or something. Good luck, I hope it works out.

thank you for the help i couldn’t opt for extraction because it’s too close to the front and would cause my other teeth to shift but i’ve gotten the root canal after borrowing money from my boyfriend and good news is he says i should hopefully not need a crown because they can put in a post later to stabilise it so hopefully should be all okay

Understanding Sciatica Causes, Symptoms, and Ayurvedic Remedies for Relief

The term ‘sciatica' might not be familiar to many, but the list of people who have experienced its pain is quite extensive. So, what exactly is sciatica? What causes it? What are its symptoms? And how can Ayurveda provide remedies? Let’s delve into these questions in detail in this blog. First, let’s understand what sciatica is.

The sciatic nerve is the longest nerve in the human body. The condition known as sciatica refers to the pain along the path of this nerve. As mentioned earlier, this nerve originates in the lower back, passes through the hips and buttocks, and extends down each leg. Sciatica occurs when this nerve becomes compressed or irritated. By now, you might have gained a basic understanding of sciatica. To make it clearer, let’s explore its causes.

Causes of Sciatica:

Herniated Disc:

The spine contains intervertebral discs, which have a jelly-like substance inside. If this substance leaks due to a disc herniation, it can press against the nerve roots, leading to sciatic nerve irritation.

Spinal Stenosis:

This refers to the narrowing of the spinal canal, which can put pressure on the roots of the sciatic nerve, causing sciatica.

Spinal Misalignment:

Conditions like spondylolisthesis, where one vertebra slips forward over another, or other abnormalities in spinal alignment can trigger sciatica.

Piriformis Syndrome:

The piriformis muscle, located in the buttocks, can sometimes irritate or compress the sciatic nerve, leading to sciatica symptoms.

Injury or Trauma:

Accidents, such as car crashes or falls, can damage the sciatic nerve or surrounding structures, resulting in sciatica.

Symptoms of Sciatica:

Pain:

The primary symptom of sciatica is intense pain, which is sharp and shooting in nature. It typically starts in the lower back or buttocks and radiates down the back of the leg. The intensity of this pain can vary and is often accompanied by a burning or tingling sensation.

Numbness and Tingling:

Many people with sciatica experience numbness or a pins-and-needles sensation in the affected leg or foot.

Muscle Weakness:

Weakness in the muscles of the leg or foot is another common symptom. It may make it difficult for the affected individual to move or control the leg properly.

Difficulty Sitting or Standing:

People with sciatica often find it challenging to sit or stand for long periods due to the pressure on the nerve, causing discomfort or pain.

Changes in Reflexes:

In some cases, sciatica can lead to changes in reflexes, such as a diminished knee or ankle jerk reflex.

Ayurvedic Treatment for Sciatica :

Ayurveda is a leading approach to treating a wide range of health issues. It offers relief from pain without resorting to techniques that cause additional discomfort or using painkillers that may lead to side effects. Instead, Ayurveda uses specialized therapies to address the root cause of pain. Specifically, for sciatica, Vedicmed provides three main therapies. According to our Ayurvedic experts, these treatments include:

Basti Treatment

Kati Basti treatment

Leech Therapy

PPS Treatment

Basti Treatment for Sciatica:

In Ayurveda, Basti (medicated enema) is an effective therapy for managing aggravated Vata. This treatment involves using a special enema apparatus to introduce herbal decoctions or oils into the rectum. The choice of herbal formulations depends on the individual's condition and the doctor's recommendation. The enema is generally retained for a specific duration, ranging from a few minutes to half an hour. This process nourishes and rejuvenates the nerves, improves blood circulation, and enhances flexibility. The herbal oils and decoctions help reduce leg pain, stiffness, and numbness associated with sciatica.

Kati Basti Treatment for Sciatica:

Kati Basti is another effective Ayurvedic therapy for sciatica. This treatment involves using a dough ring to retain warm, medicated oil on the lower back. The warm oil deeply penetrates the tissues, improving blood circulation and flexibility. It reduces pain, inflammation, and stiffness in the affected area. This therapy balances the aggravated Vata dosha, nourishes the sciatic nerve, and strengthens the muscles in the lower back, preventing the recurrence of the condition. Kati Basti is a non-invasive treatment that provides relief from thickness and pain, and is an ideal natural solution for sciatica.

Leech Therapy for Sciatica: Leech therapy, or Hirudotherapy, involves applying medicinal leeches to the skin to treat various conditions. Leech therapy enhances blood circulation, which reduces inflammation and helps relieve nerve compression, providing significant relief from sciatica. This therapy also helps decrease swelling in the legs and alleviates pain around the sciatic nerve.

PPS Treatment Partra Potali Sweda is an effective Ayurvedic therapy used for relieving sciatica pain naturally. This treatment involves herbal leaves, medicated oils, and warm poultices applied to the affected areas, promoting deep tissue relaxation and reducing nerve inflammation. By enhancing blood circulation and soothing muscle stiffness, Partra Potali Sweda helps in restoring mobility and easing discomfort. When combined with Ayurvedic herbs and lifestyle modifications, it offers long-term relief from sciatic nerve pain.
