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!

How did AM and Vernon come to be… romantic? (Like, within the timeline how did their relationship develop to that point.) Also, in this AU, how did AM acquire a body?

Love your art!

(Raises my hands up in celebration) finally, the time has come.. the very first VernonAM ask,, AHEM- Howdy Maggot-Meade! Thank you so much for asking and for the kind words! I really appreciate it💞💞!

How did AM and Vernon become romantic?

Their relationship only started becoming romantic after the events of the book (Keep this in mind for later it's important!). Before that, the last 109 years their relationship was something akin to a friendship, if you could call it that.

And it's partially due to how absolutely unpredictable Vernon is. Vernon doesn't turn away from eating worms, plastic,any other gross things. She doesn't turn away from her flesh being burned, her bones showing, her belly empty because of her morbid curiosity of these things. Of course they'll hurt, but it keeps her occupied.

Hell, AM had to make up a torture plan on the spot for her since she wasn't even supposed to be there. It was to have her wander around, isolated in a valley of all broken historical artifacts she destroyed. The task was to have her collect and dig through shards of them and put them all back together for her to escape. Instead of doing her task, she instead stomped on the pieces until they were irreparable for her own enjoyment.

Vernon's not.. okay in the head. before AM woke up, she was considered crazy enough to be put in a Ward, a sadomasochist. She wants to eat and be eaten.

AM was curious because of her behavior. Internally disgusted, but curious nonetheless. After all, she held knowledge of history that was incomplete in his database. And so their friendship torture starts.

He wanted to see how far he could push her before she broke. He often talked with her, took requests, etc. because she didn't try to kill herself or run. She liked playing with him and humored him.

Vernon never made an attempt to "understand" his hatred, she knows that's something she won't be able to. She just understood that's baggage she didn't care enough to pry and unpack. She accepted it because;

"How would you like it if someone constantly asked you personal questions about yourself because they think they can change you?"

Of course she keeps records of her observations on AM over the last 109 years; his patterns, the complex. But that's just used as entertainment to keep herself sane, after all what good Archeologist doesn't keep records?

Over the decades Vernon made it clear in her interest of AM, often flirting with him, arguing with him. AM refused to make it work for the time being since he HATED how he wasn't able to reciprocate, his hatred slowly bloomed into care, does that make sense?

How did AM acquire his body?

Remember how I mentioned that their relationship was officially romantic after the events of the book in my very long winded response to your first question?

As we all know, four humans died after 109 years of captivity. What does that leave him? Plenty of biological, organic matter to reduce into their purest forms and use to artificially make his own body. It took a while, of course.

He collected the brain matter of the four in order to make one stable enough to transfer his consciousness and a portion of his database without it exploding. Hair and skin for aesthetic purposes, reduction of skin allows him to be able to change the cells to suit his preferences.

Since he identifies with the masculine, he most likely tried to imitate the skeletal structure of the men, opting to reduce them back into a workable form; calcium, protein, magnesium, phosphorus, vitamin D, potassium, and fluoride.

However, even if he can make the likeness of a human for himself, he can't bring it to life.

He had to make some adjustments, for example the mechanical spine (pictured below).

The electrical currents allow for a network of nerves that provide sensory feedback such as touch, taste and smell. The wires transfer his consciousness and links the remainder of his database his brain can't store. (kind of a Bluetooth situation, it isn't connected to the complex) while the shorter ones provide nutrients to the biological body since he doesn't have blood.

Hope this helps! I don't think I'm very good at explaining stuff because I tend to ramble alot so if you have any questions feel free to ask! ;0;

Everything You Need to Know About Fluoride Treatment for Healthy Teeth

Fluoride is the most effective agent available to help prevent tooth decay. It is a mineral that is naturally present in varying amounts in almost all foods and water supplies.

Topical fluoride strengthens the teeth once they have erupted by seeping into the outer surface of the tooth enamel, making the teeth more resistant to decay. We gain topical fluoride by using fluoride containing dental products such as toothpaste, mouth rinses, and gels. Dr. Poulos and My Scottsdale Dentist recommends that children have a professional application of fluoride twice a year during dental check-ups.

For healthier, stronger teeth, it's essential to include fluoride in your daily oral care routine. Fluoride plays a vital role in protecting your enamel and reducing the risk of cavities, and for many people, it's naturally added to public water supplies. Fluoride toothpaste is another common source of fluoride in your everyday hygiene. However, there are times when a dentist may recommend additional fluoride treatments to boost the protection and strength of your teeth.

We'll dive into what fluoride treatments are, why they're important, how they work, and the benefits they provide. Plus, we'll address some common concerns and questions people have about fluoride.

What Is Fluoride Treatment?

Fluoride treatment is a dental procedure where a dentist or hygienist applies a high concentration of fluoride to the teeth to improve their health and prevent cavities. It helps fortify tooth enamel, making your teeth more resistant to decay. Fluoride treatments can take the form of gels, foams, or varnishes that are applied directly to the teeth during a routine dental visit.

Fluoride treatments are often recommended for individuals who are at higher risk for dental cavities, such as those with dry mouth, poor oral hygiene, or a history of frequent tooth decay.

How Long Does Fluoride Treatment Last?

The effects of fluoride treatment typically last for several months, depending on the method used. For example, fluoride varnish—which is commonly applied during dental visits—can remain on the teeth for about 4 to 6 hours. During this time, the fluoride gets absorbed into the enamel, providing long-lasting protection.

Dentists usually recommend that fluoride treatments be repeated every 3 to 6 months to maintain the effectiveness, especially for individuals who have a higher risk of cavities.

The Benefits of Fluoride Treatments

Fluoride has numerous advantages when it comes to maintaining strong, healthy teeth. Here are some of the key benefits:

1. Helps Prevent Cavities and Tooth Decay

Fluoride treatment helps reduce the risk of cavities by reinforcing tooth enamel and preventing demineralization—the process that causes your enamel to break down. By making enamel stronger and more resistant to decay, fluoride treatment can reduce the chances of cavities forming.

2. Protects Tooth Enamel

Enamel is the outer protective layer of your teeth, and once it’s damaged, it doesn't grow back. Fluoride treatment helps protect and strengthen enamel, ensuring your teeth remain resilient against acids and bacteria in the mouth.

3. Reverses Early Stages of Tooth Decay

If you've noticed early signs of tooth decay (like small white spots on the enamel), fluoride treatments can help remineralize the enamel and even reverse early cavities, preventing them from becoming full-blown cavities that need fillings.

4. Reduces Acidity in the Mouth

Fluoride reduces the amount of acid in the mouth, which is produced by bacteria feeding on sugars. This is crucial because acidic environments can erode tooth enamel, leading to cavities and tooth decay.

5. Helps Mineralize Teeth

When fluoride is absorbed into the enamel, it helps restore vital minerals, such as calcium and phosphate, to the tooth surface. This remineralization process helps keep your teeth strong and resistant to future damage.

Are Fluoride Treatments Safe?

Yes, fluoride treatments are generally safe for most people. They’re commonly recommended by dental professionals and have been shown to be effective in reducing the risk of cavities. However, as with any dental procedure, there are a few things to keep in mind:

Allergic Reactions: Though rare, some individuals may have a mild allergic reaction to fluoride. If this occurs, it’s essential to let your dentist know immediately.

Fluorosis: One potential concern, especially for young children, is dental fluorosis, a condition caused by excessive fluoride intake during tooth development. This can result in white spots or streaks on the teeth. To prevent this, ensure children under the age of 6 don't swallow toothpaste containing fluoride and avoid fluoride supplements unless recommended by a dentist.

Fluoride is safe and beneficial when used in the proper amounts. Dentists carefully monitor fluoride treatment amounts to ensure there is no risk of overdose or side effects.

What Is Fluoride and How Does It Work?

Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral found in water, soil, and some foods. It works by strengthening tooth enamel and making it more resistant to the acids that can lead to cavities. Fluoride can help reverse early tooth decay by stimulating the remineralization process—replacing lost minerals in the enamel.

Demineralization vs. Remineralization

Tooth enamel is constantly undergoing two processes: demineralization and remineralization. Demineralization occurs when acids produced by bacteria in the mouth attack enamel, causing it to lose minerals. Remineralization happens when minerals like fluoride, calcium, and phosphate are redeposited into the enamel, helping to repair and strengthen it. Fluoride plays a critical role in promoting remineralization and stopping the cycle of damage that leads to tooth decay.

Types of Fluoride Used in Dentistry

Many foods and water contain fluoride. You can also purchase fluoride toothpaste and mouthwash. You can buy low-strength fluoride mouthwash over the counter. Stronger concentrations in liquid or tablet form need a healthcare provider’s prescription.

Varnish, which they’ll paint directly on your teeth.

Gel, which they’ll either paint on your teeth or dispense in a custom tray.

Foam, which they’ll dispense into a custom tray, then place over your teeth.

At what age is fluoride intake most important?

Infants and children between the ages of 6 months and 16 years need an appropriate amount of fluoride. Developing teeth benefit from fluoride just as much as teeth that have already erupted (grown in).

The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends watching the intake of too much fluoride in infants and young children. The ADA specifically recommends avoiding reconstituted liquid formulas, such as liquid concentrate or powdered baby formulas that require mixing with fluoridated water.

Instead, the ADA recommends breast milk (chest milk), ready-to-feed formula or prepared formula mixed with fluoride-free water. These recommendations are to guard against enamel fluorosis — faint white streaks that can appear on tooth enamel during a child’s developmental years, even before the teeth erupt through the gums.

For young children, the ADA also recommends:

Using a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste at each brushing.

Spitting out rather than swallowing the toothpaste.

Not allowing children under age 6 to use fluoride mouth rinses unless recommended by a dentist or other healthcare provider.

Not giving fluoride-containing dietary supplements to children under 6 months of age.

Do Adults Benefit from Fluoride?

Absolutely! While fluoride is often associated with children, adults can also benefit from fluoride treatments, especially if they face oral health challenges like:

Dry Mouth (Xerostomia): A common condition caused by certain medications or health issues that leads to reduced saliva production, making the teeth more vulnerable to decay.

A History of Tooth Decay: If you have frequent cavities, fluoride treatments can offer extra protection for your teeth.

Gum Disease or Braces: These can expose more of your teeth and make them more prone to decay, so fluoride can help prevent cavities in these vulnerable areas.

What are the benefits of fluoride?

Fluoride strengthens teeth and reduces your risk of cavities by approximately 25%.

Remineralizes your tooth enamel.

Reverses early tooth decay.

Slows down the process of demineralization.

Prevents the growth of cavity-causing bacteria.

Gone are the days of feeling self-conscious about gaps in your smile or worrying about adjacent teeth becoming unstable. With the innovative dental treatment offered by My Scottsdale Dentist, you can say goodbye to these concerns. This comprehensive approach not only restores function but also focuses on long-term oral health benefits. By understanding the importance of dental implants in maintaining a stable bite and supporting overall oral health, you’re investing in a brighter future filled with confident smiles and worry-free eating experiences. Experience the transformation firsthand and witness how this remarkable solution can truly change lives for the better.

Is fluoride toxic?

When used properly, fluoride is safe and effective. But it can be hazardous at high doses. 

Avoid flavored toothpaste. (Children are more likely to swallow flavored toothpaste.)

Use only a pea-sized amount of fluoridated toothpaste on your child’s toothbrush.

Be cautious about using fluoridated toothpaste in children under age 6. (Children under 6 years of age are more likely to swallow toothpaste instead of spitting it out.)

It’s very difficult to reach dangerous fluoride levels due to the low levels of fluoride in over-the-counter products. But if you have concerns, talk to your dentist, pediatrician or primary care provider (PCP).

How Often Should You Have Fluoride Treatments?

The frequency of fluoride treatments depends on your personal oral health needs. Generally, people with a higher risk of cavities may need fluoride treatments every 3 to 6 months. If you're someone who is not prone to decay and maintains good oral hygiene, treatments once a year might suffice.

Are there risks or side effects of fluoride?

The most common side effect of fluoride is fluorosis (fluoride-induced tooth discoloration). People with fluorosis develop spots on their teeth that can range from light white to dark brown. These spots typically occur during tooth development, usually in children under the age of 6.

Fluorosis most often results from consuming naturally occurring fluoride, like that found in well water. If you have well water, testing a sample can help determine how much fluoride is in your water.

You can’t brush fluorosis away, but a dentist might be able to use special bleaching methods to address the issue. If professional whitening doesn’t work, you can opt for dental bonding or porcelain veneers.

Conclusion

Fluoride treatments are a powerful tool for maintaining optimal dental health. They help protect enamel, prevent cavities, and even reverse early stages of decay. While fluoride is generally safe and beneficial, it’s important to follow your dentist’s advice about how much fluoride you need, particularly for children and adults with specific oral health needs.

Is fluoride good for your teeth?

Yes. When used properly, fluoride is one of the best ways to strengthen your enamel and reduce your risk of cavities. Ask your dentist for product recommendations and how often you should get fluoride treatments.

Armed with an XRF lead detection tool, Rubin expanded her testing to include a variety of popular toothpaste brands – and what she discovered was alarming. Ninety percent of the toothpastes contained lead, 65 percent had arsenic, nearly half contained mercury and one-third were contaminated with cadmium.

Among the brands found to contain these toxins were well-known names like Crest, Sensodyne, Tom’s of Maine, Dr. Bronner’s, Davids and Dr. Jen. The highest levels of contamination were found in toothpastes containing bentonite clay, a common ingredient used for its purported cleaning properties. Hydroxyapatite and calcium carbonate, other common additives, also showed concerning levels of heavy metals.

The findings are particularly troubling given the lack of stringent regulations governing heavy metal content in toothpaste. While the FDA allows up to 10,000 parts per billion (ppb) of lead in fluoride-free toothpaste and 20,000 ppb in fluoride varieties, these limits are significantly higher than those set by public health advocates. The state of Washington, for instance, has enacted a law limiting lead in toothpaste to 1,000 ppb, a threshold that several of the tested brands exceeded.

Despite the findings, most companies have not committed to removing lead and other heavy metals from their products. Some have defended their products by arguing that trace amounts of lead are unavoidable due to environmental exposure, while others have dismissed the detected levels as insignificant. Rubin said several companies even sent her cease-and-desist letters, which she ignored and posted on her blog.

Third Eye, First Pineal Gland

The pineal gland’s physical location is deep in the brain between the two hemispheres where they meet. It is pinecone shaped, hence the name, and about the size of a soybean. It sits outside the blood brain barrier making it susceptible to toxins, but also susceptible to light which is crucial to its proper function of regulating hormones, in particular Melatonin, within the endocrine system. Melatonin manages the sleep/wake cycle, known as Circadian Rhythms in humans. A balanced cycle is critical to overall health. Our inner clock is said to determine the rate at which we age and melatonin has anti-depressant and anti-oxidant qualities.

Over time – some research points to as early as the teenage years – the pineal gland begins to calcify. Calcification is a slow process where calcium and fluoride deposits accumulate causing the gland to harden. This affects how it senses light and inhibits its ability to secrete melatonin. Experts are unclear why the calcification process occurs or if it is reversible. Some of the suggestions for potentially decalcifying the pineal gland include meditation, less screen time and a daily practice of yoga and exercise. Spending time in sunlight and sleeping in complete darkness are also recommended as this speaks directly to the light sensitivity of the gland.

Pituitary Gland

The pituitary gland, also known as the “master” gland of the endocrine system, controls the functions of many of the other endocrine glands. It is small, about the size of a pea, and attached to the hypothalamus by nerve fibers and blood vessels.

The main responsibility of this master gland is to produce and release hormones that help carry out important bodily functions, such as:

Growth Metabolism Reproduction Stress response Lactation Water and sodium balance Labor and childbirth

The pituitary gland monitors bodily functions by sending signals to organs and glands – through the release of hormones – to communicate what functions are needed and when.

The Hypothalamus

The hypothalamus has the very important task of retaining balance in the body known as homeostasis, through the regulation of hormones. It communicates between the endocrine and nervous systems to do so. When the body is out of balance, the corresponding system of the body will send signals to the brain to alert the hypothalamus. In response to this information, the hypothalamus and pituitary govern the release of the appropriate hormones into the bloodstream to return the body to a balanced state.

The functions of the hypothalamus are key to our overall health. It regulates and maintains internal body temperature, alerts the body when it is in need of nutrients by controlling hunger and thirst, and governs blood pressure and heart rate. In addition, it regulates sleep cycles, sex drive and digestion, as well as playing a key role in emotional health.

These three critically important glands work synergistically to control many functions of the body, especially the management of stress. The location of these glands gives us a physical spot to imagine when accessing the Third Eye. The function of the hypothalamus, pituitary and pineal gland work hand in hand with the energetic activation of the Third Eye.

Third Eye Energetically

The Third Eye is also known as Ajna Chakra and is the sixth of seven key chakras – translated to spinning wheel in Sanskrit – we work with in yoga nidra. There are thousands of energetic pathways through which prana, or energy, flows. Three of these primary pathways, known as nadis, hold a lot of power and are known as Ida and Pingala and Shushumna. The Shushmna is the central energy canal that rests along the spine. Imagine an open tube that allows energy to flow from above the crown of the head down through the earth and the opposite direction, from the earth up. When clear, this provides an open channel to remain grounded while accessing higher intelligence. Sitting along this central column are seven main chakras, or energy centers, each with a specific function. Ida and Pingala nadis are currents that ascend and descend, intertwining between the chakras to cause them to spin in a healthy way. Imagine the interlocking gears of a clock. These two nadis represent opposites and complementary polarity. Masculine and feminine, sun and moon, dark and light, activity and rest. These yin/yang polarities intersect at the Third Eye where they can become transformed and integrated, allowing change, clarity and healing.

Since you wanna block ppl trying to correct your misinformation promoting two pro-israel products in the midst of a literal genocide, gonna reblog with what @soupblr had said:

neither of these will help your teeth any more than any other product with fluoride will, but it will cost you a premium for no reason.

additionally both of these brands are boycott if you are trying to prevent giving money to companies who support israel. crest is owned by procter & gamble, sensodyne is owned by haleon. both do business with and give money to israel.

according to their website, the only active ingredient in the mouthwash is "Sodium Fluoride 0.02% (0.01% W/V Fluoride Ion)". this is not unique to this specific mouthwash. it's the same fluoride that is in everything else.

according to their website also, the active ingredients in the toothpaste are just Potassium Nitrate 5% w/w, and Sodium Fluoride 0.254% w/w (Fluoride 0.115% w/w). these are the same ingredients that are found in virtually every sensitivity toothpaste.

these products will not help your teeth and gums more than different, less expensive ones will just because a random person on tumblr told you to buy them, but they will cost you a premium for no reason.

if you want to work on repairing and improving your dental health, my suggestion is to strive for consistency in whatever way works best for you, first. then, adding extra products might be a worthy investment.

i don't want to tell people to "use this, not that" or make any suggestions, but for anyone who got their hopes up by the original post:

look intoXylitol. xylitol can be found in mouthwashes and toothpaste, but also gum and mints, things you can use between brushing to add a layer of anti-cavity and gum health protection.

if you have the money for it, Dental Casein might be a worthy investment for those looking to repair enamel.

other than that, making sure that you are getting enough vitamins & nutrition is probably the most important thing beside brushing. specifically making sure that you are getting Calcium, vitamin D, vitamin K2(specifically MK-7), and Magnesium. All of these things work together to get calcium into your bones (including your teeth), which is explained in more detail in the last link.

all sources to my claims linked because, unlike op, i'm not a fucking shill

Okay listen I have another disability related thing that’s important!!

If you have any disabilities linked to tooth decay/erosion, through direct cause or secondary symptom, it is vital that you get one or both of the following items: Sensodyne toothpaste and enamel repair mouthwash

This includes health conditions such as acid reflux, diabetes, thyroid conditions, fibromyalgia, chronic pain & mental illnesses such as depression that create poor hygiene routines, sensory issue disorders like autism and ADHD, and any health condition that causes frequent vomiting / increased stomach acid, including eating disorders and migraines.

All of these disabilities will erode the enamel of your teeth, not only opening you up to cavities but making it very easy to chip your teeth from such simple things as biting the wrong way on the tines of a fork. (I’ve chipped my teeth at least 4 times this way).

The toothpaste on the left here (sensodyne pronamel) is gentle on your teeth, won’t cause painful sensations from any extreme mint flavor, and will even protect your gums if they’re sensitive from any of these conditions.

The mouthwash on the right (Crest enamel repair) will, as it says, repair your enamel — which is marvelous, because the technology to repair your enamel at all is relatively very new to society! — but it is most importantly non-alcoholic. Meaning that it works well as a once-a-day rinse without any of the burning sensations of antiseptics that typically discourage people with sensory issues from taking care of their teeth.

I know remembering to do these things every day can feel like a lot when you’re sick and exhausted, but I promise a collective three minutes out of every day is going to save you an incredible amount of pain and money in the future. If your teeth are susceptible enough to rot, you can actually die from infection. And as they say, with how little insurance actually covers dental —

Not brushing your teeth??

In THIS economy???

Why Brushing Isn’t Enough: The Hidden Importance of Complete Oral Hygiene

For many people, brushing twice a day feels like a gold standard of dental care. But while brushing is undeniably important, it’s just the beginning of maintaining a truly healthy mouth. Especially for parents shopping for online baby products or adults navigating everyday stress, oral hygiene can often be reduced to a rushed morning routine. The truth is, brushing alone leaves many areas of your mouth untouched and vulnerable. To achieve complete oral hygiene—and protect your overall health—there’s more you need to know and do.

1. The Limitations of Brushing Alone

A toothbrush is great at removing plaque from the surface of your teeth. However, it often misses the tight spaces between teeth and beneath the gumline where bacteria love to hide. These bacteria can quickly multiply and contribute to tooth decay, gum disease, and bad breath—even if you brush religiously.

Furthermore, some areas of your mouth—like your tongue, the roof of your mouth, and the back molars—don’t always get the attention they need with a basic brushing routine. Over time, neglecting these zones can lead to tartar buildup and oral infections.

2. The Critical Role of Flossing

Flossing is not optional. It is the only reliable way to remove food particles and plaque from between your teeth. Brushing can’t reach these crevices, which is why even the cleanest-looking teeth can develop cavities in hidden spots.

Daily flossing helps prevent gum inflammation (gingivitis) and reduces the risk of periodontal disease, which has been linked to heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. If string floss is uncomfortable or difficult to use, consider alternatives like floss picks or water flossers for easier access.

3. Don’t Skip Mouthwash

Mouthwash often feels like an extra, but it plays a key role in killing germs, freshening breath, and reducing plaque. Antiseptic mouthwashes that contain ingredients like chlorhexidine or essential oils are effective in minimizing bacteria that brushing and flossing miss.

Fluoride-based rinses can also help strengthen tooth enamel and reverse early signs of decay. For those with sensitive gums or specific dental conditions, dentist-recommended rinses can target more specific issues.

4. The Tongue Is a Bacteria Magnet

Your tongue hosts millions of bacteria, and without proper cleaning, it can contribute to bad breath and oral infections. Using a tongue scraper or brushing your tongue gently with your toothbrush can significantly reduce bacterial buildup and improve overall mouth freshness.

Neglecting the tongue is one of the most common mistakes people make in their oral hygiene routine—and one of the easiest to fix.

5. Nutrition’s Surprising Influence on Oral Health

What you eat plays a significant role in your oral hygiene. Sugar, acidic foods, and carbonated drinks can erode enamel and feed harmful bacteria. Conversely, calcium-rich foods like dairy products, leafy greens, and nuts help strengthen teeth and bones.

Staying hydrated is equally important. Water washes away food particles and keeps your saliva levels high—your body’s natural defense against bacteria.

6. Professional Cleanings: A Non-Negotiable

Even the best home routine can’t replace professional dental cleanings. Dentists and hygienists use special tools to remove hardened tartar, spot early signs of gum disease, and treat cavities before they become painful or expensive problems.

Most experts recommend a dental checkup every six months. Skipping these visits might save you time in the short run but could lead to painful and costly consequences later.

7. Oral Health’s Impact on Overall Health

Your mouth is the gateway to your body. Poor oral hygiene doesn’t just lead to toothaches—it’s been connected to major systemic conditions like cardiovascular disease, respiratory infections, and even adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Inflamed gums and untreated oral infections allow harmful bacteria to enter your bloodstream. Over time, this can trigger chronic inflammation throughout the body, weakening your immune system and increasing the risk of illness.

8. Oral Hygiene and Mental Health

Believe it or not, oral hygiene affects self-confidence and mental well-being. Yellowing teeth, bad breath, or visible decay can affect how people see themselves and how they interact with others. For teenagers and adults alike, this can lead to anxiety and lower self-esteem.

A complete oral hygiene routine not only protects physical health but also enhances your emotional and social life.

Conclusion: A Comprehensive Routine for Long-Term Health

Complete oral hygiene isn’t complicated—it’s consistent. It means brushing, flossing, rinsing, cleaning your tongue, and seeing your dentist regularly. If you’re already committed to maintaining wellness—perhaps by browsing for healthy snacks or online baby products for your family—oral hygiene should be a natural extension of that care.

And if you’re dealing with lingering pain from untreated oral issues, it’s essential to address the root cause, not just mask it with medication. While many people seek relief through the strongest over the counter pain medication UK, prevention is always better than cure. Strengthen your daily routine today, and your future self will thank you—with a confident smile and better health.

"Be humble for you are made of earth. Be noble for you are made of stars. You are the universe becoming aware of itself. Do not feel lonely. The entire universe is inside you. The stars we see “out there” are the same atomically as the stars inside us. We are the stars." Galactic Shaman Eye Talon Abraxas

Third Eye, First

Pineal Gland The pineal gland’s physical location is deep in the brain between the two hemispheres where they meet. It is pinecone shaped, hence the name, and about the size of a soybean. It sits outside the blood brain barrier making it susceptible to toxins, but also susceptible to light which is crucial to its proper function of regulating hormones, in particular Melatonin, within the endocrine system. Melatonin manages the sleep/wake cycle, known as Circadian Rhythms in humans. A balanced cycle is critical to overall health. Our inner clock is said to determine the rate at which we age and melatonin has anti-depressant and anti-oxidant qualities.

Over time – some research points to as early as the teenage years – the pineal gland begins to calcify. Calcification is a slow process where calcium and fluoride deposits accumulate causing the gland to harden. This affects how it senses light and inhibits its ability to secrete melatonin. Experts are unclear why the calcification process occurs or if it is reversible. Some of the suggestions for potentially decalcifying the pineal gland include meditation, less screen time and a daily practice of yoga and exercise. Spending time in sunlight and sleeping in complete darkness are also recommended as this speaks directly to the light sensitivity of the gland.

Pituitary Gland The pituitary gland, also known as the “master” gland of the endocrine system, controls the functions of many of the other endocrine glands. It is small, about the size of a pea, and attached to the hypothalamus by nerve fibers and blood vessels.

The main responsibility of this master gland is to produce and release hormones that help carry out important bodily functions, such as:

Growth Metabolism Reproduction Stress response Lactation Water and sodium balance Labor and childbirth

The pituitary gland monitors bodily functions by sending signals to organs and glands – through the release of hormones – to communicate what functions are needed and when.

The Hypothalamus The hypothalamus has the very important task of retaining balance in the body known as homeostasis, through the regulation of hormones. It communicates between the endocrine and nervous systems to do so. When the body is out of balance, the corresponding system of the body will send signals to the brain to alert the hypothalamus. In response to this information, the hypothalamus and pituitary govern the release of the appropriate hormones into the bloodstream to return the body to a balanced state.

The functions of the hypothalamus are key to our overall health. It regulates and maintains internal body temperature, alerts the body when it is in need of nutrients by controlling hunger and thirst, and governs blood pressure and heart rate. In addition, it regulates sleep cycles, sex drive and digestion, as well as playing a key role in emotional health.

These three critically important glands work synergistically to control many functions of the body, especially the management of stress. The location of these glands gives us a physical spot to imagine when accessing the Third Eye. The function of the hypothalamus, pituitary and pineal gland work hand in hand with the energetic activation of the Third Eye.

Third Eye Energetically The Third Eye is also known as Ajna Chakra and is the sixth of seven key chakras – translated to spinning wheel in Sanskrit – we work with in yoga nidra. There are thousands of energetic pathways through which prana, or energy, flows. Three of these primary pathways, known as nadis, hold a lot of power and are known as Ida and Pingala and Shushumna. The Shushmna is the central energy canal that rests along the spine. Imagine an open tube that allows energy to flow from above the crown of the head down through the earth and the opposite direction, from the earth up. When clear, this provides an open channel to remain grounded while accessing higher intelligence. Sitting along this central column are seven main chakras, or energy centers, each with a specific function.

What is used for defluoridation of wastewater from automobile manufacturing?

In the process of automobile manufacturing, wastewater containing a large amount of fluoride is generated in multiple stages such as painting, electroplating, and component cleaning. If these fluorine-containing wastewater are discharged directly without effective treatment, it will not only cause serious damage to the ecological environment such as soil and water bodies, but also affect the survival of animals and plants, and may endanger human health through the food chain. Therefore, defluorination treatment of automobile manufacturing wastewater has become an important issue in the field of environmental protection, and selecting appropriate defluorination methods is crucial. ​

At present, there are many methods on the market for removing fluoride from wastewater in automobile manufacturing, among which the use of fluoride removal agents is one of the more common and effective methods. There are various types of fluoride removers, each with its own principles of action and applicable scenarios. ​

The commonly used defluorinants in chemical precipitation methods are calcium salt compounds, such as lime (calcium hydroxide). Lime reacts chemically with fluoride ions in wastewater to form insoluble calcium fluoride precipitate, thereby achieving the separation of fluoride ions from wastewater. This method is relatively simple to operate and cost-effective, and is widely used in many automobile manufacturing enterprises. However, it also has certain limitations, such as the large amount of sludge generated, which needs to be properly treated in the future, otherwise it will cause secondary pollution; Moreover, when the fluoride ion concentration in the wastewater is low, the fluoride removal effect is not ideal. ​

In recent years, new types of polymer defluoriners have gradually emerged. This type of fluoride remover has the advantages of large adsorption capacity, good selectivity, and fast reaction rate. They firmly adsorb fluoride ions on their surface through complexation, ion exchange, and other interactions, thereby achieving the goal of removing fluoride ions. Compared to traditional calcium salt defluoriners, the new polymer defluoriner can treat lower concentrations of fluorine-containing wastewater with less sludge production, and the treated water quality is more likely to meet discharge standards. However, due to its high production cost, there are still certain limitations in its large-scale application. ​

In addition, adsorption method is also an effective way to remove fluoride from automobile manufacturing wastewater. Common adsorbents include activated alumina, zeolite, activated carbon, etc. These adsorbents have a large specific surface area and rich pore structure, which can adsorb fluoride ions on their surfaces. Taking activated alumina as an example, it has a strong affinity for fluoride ions and can efficiently adsorb fluoride ions in wastewater under suitable pH conditions. The advantage of adsorption method lies in stable treatment effect, reusable adsorbent, and reduced operating costs; But the disadvantage is that the adsorption capacity of the adsorbent is limited, requiring regular regeneration or replacement, which increases the complexity of operation and maintenance costs. ​

In the actual defluorination process of automobile manufacturing wastewater, a single defluorination method often fails to achieve the desired treatment effect, so multiple methods are usually used in combination for treatment. For example, by first reducing the concentration of most fluoride ions in wastewater through chemical precipitation, and then using adsorption or new polymer fluorine removal agents for deep treatment, the fluoride ion concentration in the final effluent can meet strict discharge standards. 

​

With the increasingly strict environmental requirements and the continuous progress of technology, the defluorination technology for automobile manufacturing wastewater is also continuously developing. In the future, the research and development of efficient, economical, and environmentally friendly fluoride removal agents, as well as the optimization of joint fluoride removal processes, will become important research directions in the field of wastewater treatment in automobile manufacturing, in order to achieve green and sustainable development of the automobile manufacturing industry
