(Dentists) Global male hygiene problem exposed
No commentsBy Alexandra Appelt
Traveling all over our lovely globe since childhood, there is a huge issue regarding male hygiene that bothers me ever since I was little. Being a guest on this earth for more than 50 years, it all makes it 40 some years that I have not talked about it to too many people.
Each time I talked about it to friends, family and strangers, I received a common understanding or at least a nod. Doctors and others in health related professions totally agree. Hopefully this article will be spread widely, and we all will see men change on that bad hygiene related habit most have.
It is all about washing your hands before and not after men urinate!
Did you ever notice that most men go to the bathroom, take care of their business, and then wash their hands afterward? I am sure you have. They have that habit while in airports and on airplanes, in restaurants, in railway stations and on trains, at work, at home, at the club, at the stadium, at the cinema, while traveling, anywhere and all the time.
Now, think about it: Handshakes, hugging, touching cups, plates, glasses, files and folders, all kinds of utensils, papers, fixtures, anything. And they all or most of them have in common that they were touched by others.
Bacteria Heaven!
Got the idea?
I wash my hands before I do it. Funny and amusing that other men look at you in strange ways when you wash your hands first, taking care of your business, and then leave the bathroom without washing your hands. I even heard them talking about me after they saw me leaving the bathroom without washing my hands.
Help me! All I did was getting rid of all kinds of bacteria I have collected or came in contact with since I went the last time. I touched ‘him’ with clean and bacteria free hands, and put him back where ‘he’ belongs afterward. So, who is right and who is wrong?
Men, wash your hands before you do it!
Doctors, other health professionals, men and women of the world, help me to spread the word. Send me your comments and opinion on the topic. Let’s create awareness of the topic, eliminate bacteria from being transferred billions of times daily around the globe.

Teeth Whitening Kits Can Boost Your Confidence
By Gareth Hoyle
Stained and discoloured teeth can look unattractive and could have a significant impact on your self confidence. People respond positively to a great smile but if you feel embarrassed by your teeth you may avoid smiling altogether. One way in which you can boost your confidence and get back your natural smile is to buy home teeth whitening kits. These are widely available and can provide you with an affordable way to change the colour of your teeth for the better.
What Causes Teeth Discoloration?
As teeth age the enamel can gradually change colour, becoming darker and taking on a yellowish appearance. Certain external factors can also cause teeth discoloration including tea and coffee, red wine and smoking. Tooth decay, tartar, metal fillings and medication (including some antibiotics) can also stain teeth. Once teeth have become stained it is impossible to regain the natural whiteness again without the help of bleaching treatments or expensive veneers.
Home Teeth Whitening Kits
If your teeth are mildly discoloured then teeth whitening kits can offer some good results in restoring natural brightness. These kits contain weak formulas of either hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide. They are very simple to use and all you need to do is put some of the bleaching agent into the mouth trays provided and then place them over your teeth. You will then need to keep these in place for around 30 minutes to let the bleach get to work on your teeth. Make sure you follow the manufacturers instructions carefully and avoid over exposing your teeth to the chemicals by leaving the trays in too long. Your teeth may feel a bit sensitive after using home whitening kits so avoid eating or drinking anything very hot or cold for a few hours after treatment.
You can help to maintain the whiteness of your teeth following a home bleaching procedure in a few simple ways:
* Cut down on drinking tea, coffee and red wine.
* Stop smoking as this will not only benefit your overall health but can also help to keep your teeth bright.
* Good oral hygiene can help to prevent tartar from building up on your teeth that can cause staining. This will also help to keep your teeth and gums healthy.
* Get your teeth cleaned and polished by a professional dental hygienist every six months. This will get rid of any plaque or tartar that has built up and also remove surface staining.
* Replacing your metal fillings with white fillings can help to brighten up your teeth and prevent staining.
If you have very heavily stained teeth then you may need to carry out this treatment procedure again. Check the manufacturers instructions about reusing the product as overuse of teeth whitening treatments could damage the enamel on your teeth.
Tooth whitening procedures can help to restore the natural brightness of your teeth and give you a real confidence boost. If you are unhappy with the colour of your teeth then home bleaching kits can be an affordable and easy to use option.
