Food Hygiene: The Importance of Using Different Chopping Boards for Different Foods (cosmetic dentist)

By Andrea Flint

 Food Hygiene - it’s a topic you probably have heard on televised cooking shows. There is a very good reason to understand the importance of using different chopping boards for different foods. There are some important differences in chopping boards as well, in the materials they are made from.

First, why use different chopping boards for different foods? This is a basic sanitation issue. Any time you cut with a blade, there can be tiny grooves left in the cutting boards. The grooves can harbor germs, and bacteria. It is very important to separate raw from cooked foods, in particular meats and poultry. You should also separate the meat from the poultry. This is accomplished by having several boards available and marked for each particular use.

By cutting raw meat on a board and later using the same board for working with cooked meat, the juices and any bacteria from the raw meat are transferred to the cooked meat, and can cause intestinal problems for the person who then eats that cooked meat. The same is true for raw vegetables. Of course, you would wash the vegetables to rid them of dirt and any contaminants, but with the groove situation and bacteria, you could also transfer the raw vegetable problems to your cooked food.

A far better solution is to purchase several chopping boards. If you have ever watched a certain popular cooking show chef, surely you would have heard him caution regarding the important of using different chopping boards. He mentions the ‘chicken police’ and ‘pork police’, and even has different colored cutting boards for each so they do not get mixed up. This is a great idea you can copy!

You can wash and disinfect chopping boards with soapy warm water, and a light diluted bleach solution. You can re-plane wood boards, and clean with coarse salt. Replace your board when needed. Do not put wood boards into dishwashers or soak them in water. A very light grade food quality mineral oil can be used on wood boards to help keep water out of the grooves.

Second, what about the materials chopping boards are made from? Common kitchen chopping boards are made from wood or plastic. Others are available, made from steel, glass, marble, or corian, but although these may be easier to clean than wood or plastic, they can damage your knife blade edges.

Food Hygiene starts with the importance of using different chopping boards for different foods. It ends with healthy meals and healthy, happy people!

Good Habits of Oral Health for a Better Smile (teeth bleaching)

By Dave Southern

 Taking care of your oral health is one way of achieving a great smile. Practice good oral habits.

Brushing your teeth regularly and correctly is very essential in taking good care of your teeth. It reduces the amount of germs building up in your mouth. After all, your mouth is residence to hundreds of bacteria that can be only removed with regular brushing after every meal.

Toothbrush can be home to various microorganisms after sometime. It is equally important to change your toothbrush periodically.

The American Dental Association (ADA) and the ADA Council on Scientific Affairs give several tips on brushing.

First and foremost, dont share your toothbrush with anybody else even to your spouse. It is similar to passing colds or flu to someone. Sharing toothbrushes may result in accidental exchange of bodily fluids thus can cause infection.

Rinse your toothbrush very well with water after each use to take out any residual toothpaste and other remains.

Keep your toothbrush in a vertical stance and let it to air dry. When storing multiple brushes, leave gaps between brushes to prevent germs from being spread from one toothbrush to another.

Do not keep a toothbrush in an airtight container nor cover toothbrushes because moist is a good environment for germs to grow.

Replace toothbrush every three months. Inspect your brush regularly for signs of tattered bristles. Replace more often for kids.

Caring for your toothbrush is just part of keeping a good oral habit. Brushing the right way is also very important.

Brush your teeth every after meals using toothpaste containing fluoride. Fluoride protects gums and teeth.

Choose a toothbrush with a soft bristle. This is gentler to gums. Never do harsh scrubbing because it can irritate your gums.

Brush your teeth by holding your toothbrush at a slight angle against your teeth and use short back-and-forth motions. Brush the inside and the chewing surfaces of your teeth.

It takes two minutes to brush effectively so dont rush. Brush your tongue also. Many germs are accumulated here.

Consider using an electric toothbrush, particularly if you have arthritis or other problems that make brushing difficult.

Brushing alone cannot completely clean your teeth and gums. There are germs building up in between your teeth that brushing cannot reach. Flossing does the job. These are string-like materials inserted between teeth to remove germs building up here. Brushing and flossing always go together. Gargling with commercial mouthwashes also lessen plaques. Also visit the dentist twice a year for checkup and cleaning.

Maintain these good habits and youll always be ready to flash that perfect smile.

Sedation Dentistry in Honolulu, Hawaii (teeth cleaning)

Sedation Dentist in Hawaii Brings No Pain Dentistry Back

Dental fear is more common than you think. This type of fear is actually known by other names like dental anxiety, dental phobia, dentophobia, ordontophobia, and worse still, dentist phobia. Many attribute this fear from childhood experiences with the dentists that unwaveringly led to (imagined and real) pain … and lots of it. Others are simply a product of the more popular notions, or rather misconceptions that when you go to the dentists, they will stick needles into your mouth and pull out all your teeth.

Of course, for many of us who grew up a little more level-headed, we all know that some dentists can really do that - not out of the need to inflict pain to hapless victims; but rather to make sure their patients are orally hygienic and well. Admittedly, the greater populace usually seeks the services of dental professionals only when a tooth needs to be pulled out or some other dire tooth-related emergency.

Nonetheless, it should be noted that with the trend these days, dentists do more than just that.

There are now several cosmetic dentistry clinics that practice the application of dental crowns and porcelain veneers, among many things. Bridgework and teeth whitening are also prevalent. The seeming trend is to make sure that your pearly whites are actually white and whole. But apparently, dentistry as a whole is making sure that people do come into their offices - whether or not there is a dentition-related emergency.

One way of attractive potential clients is through the introduction of sedation dentistry or sleep dentistry. More dentists actually prefer the first term, since the latter one can really be considered as a misnomer. Patients do not actually sleep when dental procedures are done. Some may experience a certain degree of sleepiness, but no more. Patients are sedated of course. However, sedating (contrary to most detractors’ biased opinions) is not done to pacify unwilling patients. It is used to make sure that the procedures go as painless as possible. This is also a way to help the patients get comfortable; which in turn, makes it easier for the dentist to work.

Not all dentists practice sedation dentistry. However, a growing number of cosmetic dentistry offices do.

Sedation is not really an exact art, and often, it is not the dentists who perform the task. Some dentists may require the services of registered nurse with ample background in administrating sedatives. In other cases, an anesthesiologist may be required. A dental technician or assistant are not allowed to administer sedatives. Because people have varying body build and medical conditions, a trained professional must choose and administer what could be given to a patient.

There are actually many types of sedatives used. One hint of advice though for would-be clients of sedation dentistry professionals: it would be advisable to have someone escort you to and from the dentist’s office. The last thing anyone would want is for you to drive home sedated.

Some of the most common types of sedatives are: the use of inhalation analgesia (also known as nitrous oxide or laughing gas); intravenous sedative injections; local and general anesthesia; and oral sedative pills, which by the way is the most commonly used now. For emergency situations, dentists may use intramuscular sedative injections as well.
