Protecting Your Mouth In The City Of Leeds

Sunday, September 16th, 2012

The city of Leeds:- so vibrant, so exciting and so demanding. It’s true that an exciting place such as this can offer you anything you want. However, some of us just want to get the week’s work out of the system by doing something sporty and with this comes the need to look after ourselves- especially if the sport demands a lot of physical contact. The most delicate part of the body that is most vulnerable when it comes to something physical is the head and especially the mouth. So if you really are up for getting your head pummelled, you’d be wise to get yourself a mouth-guard to protect yourself from injury, and hefty dental bills. Seriously, a good mouth-guard could save not only your teeth, gums and jaws, but preserve your head and neck from extended damage. You can buy basic mouth-guards across the counter, but if you are a serious sportsman, then it would be wise to get a bespoke one made and that is tailored for the sport that you do. Though you might be the dentists dream when they send you the bill for restoration work from your injuries, they would really prefer that you take the necessary precautions, so you should maybe sit down with them first before you step into the ring and chat about the options available to you.

Booting Our Bruxism from the City of Leeds

Tuesday, March 27th, 2012

Bruxism or teeth grinding is one of those conditions in the mouth that can remain completely un-noticed until a lot of damage has been done and in a hustling bustling place like the city of Leeds, which places a lot of demands on you on a daily basis, tooth grinding thrives due to stress.

It can also become a dangerous condition as well over a sustained period, damaging your teeth and causing serious conditions around the head and even the upper back. One of the main problems is that you may not even know you are suffering from it, especially if you live alone, until a few symptoms start to set in like clicking jaws, headaches, earaches and tinnitus and a sore neck and back.

If you keep up with regular dental check-ups, your dentist should spot the fact that you are wearing your teeth down and offer a gum-shield to protect the teeth. The real problem, however, is more complex and requires you to undergo some therapy in order to identify your daily problems and then set up a plan in order to help you relax more in your daily routine and to unwind before you go to sleep.

A mouthguard coupled with therapy could very well save you from serious damage to your jaws, protect your nervous system from damage to your vertebrae, and back problems, from which there is only one cure- complex surgery.

The Dangers of Sleep Apnoea and Heart Failure in the City of Leeds

Monday, March 5th, 2012

Sleep apnoea is the night-time disease that is responsible for many sudden nocturnal deaths and auto-mobile accidents.  It is caused by the relaxation of tissues in the throat whilst sleeping and results in frequent pauses in breath. In actual fact, snoring, a common problem for many people, can be a precursor or companion to sleep apnoea as it is caused by the vibrations of the same tissues in the throat. Unfortunately, as it is a night-time disease, it is very hard to identify and diagnose, leading to many sufferers who are unaware that they are even at risk of the dangerous side-effects.

Sleep apnoea greatly increases the risk of developing high blood pressure, this is caused by the frequent periods of no respiration. Oxygen levels in the body decrease and in turn stimulate the blood vessels to constrict and bring blood back to the heart and brain, in order to conserve the most important organs.

Heart failure can be caused by sleep apnoea purely through the strain this puts on the heart. Thoriac pressure is greatly elevated in patients with this disorder and that alone can put the heart at risk. In addition, the sudden and aggressive rise in blood pressure can cause the damaging or blocking of important blood vessels that deliver oxygen to the heart. Finally, a decrease in oxygen content in the body can cause the tissues of the heart to become damaged and die, or can cause a stroke due to lack of oxygen being delivered to the brain. If you are concerned about sleep apnoea, consult your local doctor from the City of Leeds.
