No other information is available about this guy. So many of us suspect that he might be a patient of “ehler danlos syndrome” / ”cutis hyperelastica” caused by a defect in the synthesis of collagen. Commonly known as “Rubber man syndrome”. But no further information is available. So we can’t say anything.

But looking at all his videos & pictures- of that wide mouth opening . As  a dentist I can only say “Yes this is widest mouth opening, I have ever seen in my career.”

Gum disease & Heart disease - omega 3 fatty acid is for your help

·         According to new research Eating even moderate amounts of omega-3 fatty acids, typically found in foods such as salmon and other fatty fish, may help ward off gum disease.

·         Researchers found that the omega-3 fatty acids docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) were associated with less gum disease. The association with linolenic acid (LNA) was not statistically significant.

·         Since the study was a snapshot of a single day's diet, Mukamal said researchers could not determine exactly how much fish oil people should consume regularly. But following guidelines from major organizations such as the American Heart Association, which recommends eating fatty fish at least twice a week, is probably a good idea, not just for gum disease but for overall health, they noted.

·         "There are a lot of benefits of omega-3 fatty acids. We have good evidence they prevent sudden death caused by heart rhythm disturbances. We have some evidence omega-3 fatty acids can reduce the risk of heart attacks and stroke," Mukamal said. "This is a great example of another potential benefit."

·         Periodontitis is a chronic inflammation of the gums caused by bacteria that accumulate around the gum line, according to background information in the study. Over time, the gum tissue can recede and separate from teeth, leading to "periodontal pockets," or spaces between the gums and the teeth, and loss of the bone that provides the supporting structure for the teeth.

·         The usual treatment of periodontitis is good dental hygiene, including manually removing bacteria during dental appointments and applying local antibiotics to kill the bacteria, though there is disagreement among dentists about how well local antibiotics work.

Movie I loved !

Marley & Me

Plot Theme:- Story Of A Dog & His Master. The journey of their life together

Movie starts from the perspective of the young guy played by Owen Wilson who just got married to an ambitious wise loving beautiful girl played by Jennifer Aniston. She has plan for every phase of life. After marriage they both starts job hunting. They both get what they deserve. Our guy (OWEN WILSON) has a normal cool attitude towards things. Got good college life, better grades, beautiful & wise wife, good job, great it seems like a perfect his wife now pick the plan of having baby so just for some time divert her from that baby making plan & enjoy the life’s early phase he brings home a puppy- Marley.

Thus with time Marley grows so does our narrator Owen Wilson & their fun run along. Marley grows in size looks like a giant dog but still remains a puppy inside When asked to heal he tries to run & drag his master along, when asked to sit quite & don’t chew on furniture – He is gonna love to disobey WOW. Marley once went to dog training session & end with leg humping the trainer of course his got his butt kicked out of that class with his master. Owen Wilson Jokingly calls him world’s worst dog.

In narrators life things changes he became columnist from a reporter & he think that’s a trouble but as day passes he realizes that he is good columnist. Some of his unmarried fiend from college still chasing his dream of being best reporter & he is trying where our guy Owen Wilson try to buy new home. Then the responsibility increases with Jennifer’s pregnancy & then first miscarriage they became sad but all those days the only one is always with them Marley relaxing them & Making them laugh by doing the normal dog things like stealing Jennifer’s cloths & Getting frightened by thunderstorm.

Then they start their family which grows from one boy to 2 boys & 1 girl Every time Marley is with them Jennifer leaves her job for kids & get frustrated they fight & reunite Marley is with them.   They get bigger house & Owen Wilson changes his job from columnist to reporter but he is unsatisfied yet. He saw his friend back then still chasing his dream & he realizes things never changed for his friend & he got everything just grown mature with his dog. Who now owns a title of world’s worst dog by doing some stunt on dog only beach.

Then one day Marley gives a sign of aging his stomach twists. With time Marley stops dragging his master & now walks with him showing the sign of aging. Doctor gave up on Marley. Owen Wilson realizes the truth Chasing is not everything, what you have is much more precious.

At the end Marley leaves the world. Making viewers eyes wet. In theatre I saw some people cry.

Mesmerizing experience I can say. After Movie you will truly think about your own pet. If you cat person it doesn’t matter. If you don’t have any pet you will surely look forward to get one.

In acting department Jennifer did a great job ambitious romantic newly wed to caring responsible loving mother with all those frustration moments, sad moments, happy moments she made all look like real.

Owen Wilson carried a good attitude of cool guy & his suffocation when he has to loose it & enter in responsibility. He did good but lacked in an emotional manner at the end but he did a good job.

Over all this is a great movie to watch in every phase of life. Teaches you something about life. entertains you a lot makes you think. Most importantly assures you about your pet.

IMDb rating- 7.0

Home precautions with Herbal & Ayurvedic help for gum problems.

Question :-  I regularly suffer from infected gums, and I’m very conscious that when my gums are infected, my breath is bad. Do you have any suggestions?

Answer: -

1.       My suggestion is first go for routine dental check up ask your dentist for any periodontal health concern. Get oral prophylaxis (gingival & subgingival scaling with tooth polishing) done.

2.       Then get proper brushing technique from your dentist. Use that technique twice a day.

3.       Then Massage your gums daily. Floss your teeth daily. Rinse thoroughly after every time you eat. This will do the best.

4.       In India Leaves of neem (Azadirachta indica) tree are used to massage gums. its twigs to brush teeth.

5.        In Salt & haldi (turmeric) is also used in gum diseases.

Answer :- Gum infections, or gingivitis, begin when bacteria in the mouth stick to the teeth, forming plaques.

These deposits then cause the gums to become inflamed. Symptoms of this include bad breath and can also be seen when cleaning the teeth – often you will see blood on your toothbrush after brushing.

Left untreated, gingivitis can turn into periodontal disease, whereby the bacteria cause the gums to pull away from the teeth, bone beneath the gums erodes and the teeth become loose. Eventually the teeth will be lost. This is the commonest cause of tooth loss in adults.

Herbs can be used to treat the infection, but if you have not already done so, go and see your dentist as well.

They can show you how to clean and floss your teeth correctly. It is important not only to clean your teeth thoroughly and regularly, but also to floss your teeth daily too.

In addition to this, try taking 50mg a day of Co-enzyme Q10 – studies have shown it to be helpful in controlling gum disease.

To speed up the healing of gums and to reduce inflammation, rinse the mouth thoroughly with tea made from herbs such as sage or chamomile.

Sage contains antiseptic compounds, so try a mouthwash made by adding two teaspoons of dried sage to a cup of boiling water, leave to stand for 10 minutes, strain and when cool use it to rinse your teeth.

You can make up enough to last a couple of days in one go. Just remember to store the excess tea in your fridge.

Chamomile also contains antiseptic and anti-inflammatory compounds. Again make up a strong tea as before and use it as a mouthwash.

Peppermint, which is normally used as flavouring for toothpaste, is also antibacterial. Again you can make an effective mouthwash in the same way as previously described.

You can make all these teas even more effective by adding a teaspoon of Echinacea tincture to each cup. Echinacea is another effective antibacterial herb.

An easy way to help your gums is to drink green tea, it contains several antibacterial substances.

One final thing to mention, smoking can encourage the development of gum disease, so if you smoke, try to give it up.

Always remember following things for better periodontal health-

·       Brush your teeth twice a daily. With appropriate brushing technique.

·       Gargle & rinse your mouth after every time you eat.

·       Floss your teeth at least once a day. Use a proper method of flossing.

·       Vitamin C is very good for periodontium. Balanced diet will define your periodontal & general health.

·       Massage your gums twice a day. Massage improves blood circulation in particular areas.

·       Eat fibrous food.

·       Avoid alcohol, smoking & other habits.

·       Visit your dentist regularly for routine dental check up.

Poetry & literature

Lost love
by rosina

The tears begin to fall
Slowly, but gently
Down my face
As I realize our love is over.
A tear is shed
For each memory I hold
Within my heart.
And a tear falls
On your picture
As our record plays
And as the tears stop
The memories fade.
Just as you did
When our love was through.


Candy kisses
by sweet_sins
Candy kisses I can still taste
after you take my breath away...
The sweet sensation from your lips
makes me a little bit...
Butterflies float in my tummy...
Those candy kisses oh so yummy...
With all that love you put into one
and with the taste of my bubble gum...
it makes my head spin round and round...
so dizzy from that sugar...
candy kisses is what I want forever...


I come to you
by sumerbreez

I come to you
With a broken heart

I come to you
With a trust to heal

I come to you
With my soul exposed

I come to you
With my heart full of love

I come to you
With my arms open wide

I come to you
With love in my eyes

I come to you
With my senses soaring

I come to you
With all my love



Deeper
by Carmelo

Sitting by the window, I watch the rain fall
And thoughts of you start to flood my mind
In my own reflection, I see we’ve got it all
And as I look deeper, you’re all I find

Each drop whispers your name as they land
So soft and as sweet as an angels choir
It’s nothing like I’ve heard before, it’s so grand
Deeper inside, Angels sing higher and higher

As night falls I’m alone sitting in candle light
I can feel your love all around me
I watch the flames dance and burn so bright
I stare deeper into the flames, you’re all I see

So it’s off to sleep. I start to drift away
As I pray to see you in my dreams until dawn
So I can cherish you more in one day
Deeper I fall and the dream goes on and on...

Why we must visit dentist for tooth whitening or bleaching?

There are lots of over the counter product claiming teeth whitening in 15 min. & they also claim that they are safe. Teeth whitening products are not regulated by food & drug administration In U.S. & India, because these products are not considered as a drug. 

These teeth whitening product contains Hydrogen Peroxide as a bleaching agent. Which in high concentration makes enamel porous & due to which enamel minerals are lost. Enamel is not regenerates itself so ones damaged it can’t be repaired.

Hydrogen peroxide is a highly reactive chemical, and swallowing a large dose can be lethal. When highly diluted, however, it is non-irritant or mildly irritant. Hydrogen peroxide is used in cosmetics, mainly as bleach in dental products such as tooth whiteners and some hair products. Low concentrations may also be used in toothpastes and mouth rinses as a disinfectant to prevent plaque and inflammation of the gums. The two most common side effects of using tooth whitening products containing hydrogen peroxide are mouth irritation and increased tooth sensitivity to temperature changes.

Some side effects of bleaching agents in over the counter products are as follows

·         Chemical burns to the soft tissue.

·         Hyperodonto-oxidation (overbleaching)

·         Tooth sensitivity.

·         Mouth irritation.

·         Harmful If swallowed.

Sure the bleaching agent that dentists are using in clinic are also contains Hydrogen peroxide , carbamide peroxide like products but their concentration is regulated & dentists are trained to use them & Prepared to protect the surrounding soft tissue from any kind of chemical burn. Tooth sensitivity is almost not observed. Dentist knows how to avoid Mouth irritation & other side effects so every risk is eliminated when you visit dentist. With that dentist can give you a proper advice for oral hygiene maintenance. also if this procedure of teeth bleaching is done after the complete oral prophylaxis with polishing then gives the best result. So for better health & best smile you must visit dentist.

Never forget “Once if enamel is damaged you can’t repair it. For strong & healthy enamel use fluoride containing pastes, visit your dentist for beautiful, bright, healthy smile. ”

“We Just Want That people around us must show their beautiful, bright & healthy smile.”
