A 27-year-old man presented with bad breath, which he first noticed four years ago. Initially, it was inconsistent and not bothersome. During examination, I observed grooves or cracks on his tongue, which can trap food particles and debris.

After ruling out other potential causes of bad breath, I concluded that the condition, known as fissured tongue, may be the cause. Fissured tongue has no known cause and cannot be cured. However, the fissures can trap food and debris, potentially leading to bad breath.

As there is no specific treatment, maintaining excellent oral hygiene is essential. For individuals with this condition, brushing twice daily may not be enough. I recommend gargling (rinsing your mouth) with an antiseptic mouthwash three times daily to help manage bad breath and keep the tongue clean.

‎A 27 year old lady from South Africa came in to have a gold crown removed, it had been placed about two years ago.
‎
‎She wanted a more natural look, saying she was tired of the gold and wanted something that blended better with her other teeth.
‎
‎As is usually the case with crowns, her tooth had been reduced and shaped before the crown was placed. This process is known as tooth preparation — where the natural tooth is shaped to allow the crown to fit securely.
‎
‎After removing the crown, the prepared tooth underneath was visible, and understandably, it didn’t look like a normal tooth anymore. She seemed shocked and unhappy with the sight and kept pleading for a perfect restoration. She’s one of those patients who are very meticulous about their aesthetics and appearance.
‎
‎Thankfully, I was able to carry out a very minimal and conservative restoration, and effortlessly too. She was genuinely impressed with the result.
‎
‎Moments like this remind me how the things we, as professionals, often see as minor can mean the world to someone else.
‎To me, it was a piece of cake, but to her, it was everything.

Impotency and sterility are terms people often misuse.

He is impotent: He doesn't get or maintain firm er****on for pe*******on during ge***al meeting. But he has viable s***m cells that can get his partner pregnant.
We call this erectile dysfunction now, not impotency.

He is sterile: He can't impregnate his partner because he has a problem with his reproductive health, especially his s***m health. Women can be sterile as well.

A lady who can't produce healthy and mature eggs or who can't sustain pregnancy because of one problem or the other is said to be sterile. But she can have good ge***al meeting.

Both conditions can be treated effectively depending on the cause.

I just met 5 grown folks arguing blindly about this. One even said small p***s is impotency.

Listen,
The sores you have on your lip when you are sick are not caused by malaria. Actually, you don't even have malaria.

The condition you have is most likely "common cold." Common cold (or just cold) is actually caused by a virus.
Many infections caused by viruses show signs and symptoms that look like malaria—headache, body aches, fever, chills, loss of appetite, and sore throat.

When you have common cold, your immune system is temporarily suppressed, this suppression will give other organisms the opportunity to manifest.
One of those organisms is another virus called Herpes Simplex virus (or just Herpes). This is the organism that causes those sores on your lip.

Once you get herpes (as kids do when they receive kisses from adults) it stays with you throughout your life, but usually doesn't cause problems unless given the opportunity as explained above.

So, this is known as cold sore or herpes sore because:
1. It usually occurs when you have the condition called common cold (or just cold).

2. It is caused by a virus known as herpes Simplex (or just Herpes).

A 23 year old food seller presented with bleeding from her mouth and pain from a tooth that was shaking.

It happened that one of her customers bought a drink for her, and as soon as she tried to open the bottle with her teeth, she sustained this injury.

This is a dental emergency and should be treated as such.

🚫Do not open bottles with your teeth‼️.

A 45 year old janitor came complaining that her teeth occasionally pains her and she has so much stains on her teeth. She also complained of mouth odour and some of her teeth are already shaking.

Looking into her mouth, this was seen.

This takes time to accumulate, a long time of poor oral hygiene.
This tartar builds up and make your gum shift away from your teeth.
Then the root of your teeth becomes exposed and your teeth starts shaking that it can fall off easily.

We have people moving about painting their face, getting good hair cuts, working out their body, applying good creams and skin care, dressing well, earning good money, eating good and healthy meals, using breast enlargement and va**na tightening products, grooming their hairs and beards, but living with extremely poor oral hygiene.

This tartar cannot be removed by teeth brushing. They can only be removed by professional cleaning called "scaling".

Check your mouth now.
If you see any yellow, green or brown deposits at the junction of your gum and teeth or on your teeth, you need to see a dentist.

The deposits you see on these teeth are called Dental Calculus.

PSYCHIATRIC PROBLEMS AFFECTING NIGERIAN MEN.

PART 1.

A good number of Nigerians have serious mental problems which are often disregarded. In men, these mental problems are responsible for many crimes, chaos and violations.
Let us look at one of them.

1. Conduct disorder (CD)
You ever wondered why your son or brother is relentlessly stubborn, violent with no regard for rules and moral conduct?
Your son likely has conduct disorder.

This condition usually begin during teenage life. The period they might join cult then begin to smoke, violate people and rules, steal, defraud people and disregard authority.
Something common among boarding students.

It is because of the violent environment they are raised in, the family they are born into (where parents are always fighting and siblings are always commiting crimes).

These boys are known to be aggressive, destructive, criminals with serious rule violations. No matter how many times they are punished, it doesn't stop.
Infact, punishment can make them more hardened.

It usually starts during teenage life and if not correctly managed, they grow into adulthood with this, then the crimes worsen - kidnapping, robbery, sexual assaults, burglary and so on.

Somehow, later in life, many of these boys change and you'll wonder why. Well, environment, profession, religion, love, knowledge and purpose can influence them.

They didn't really get rid of these lifestyle, but it is suppressed properly and can be expressed under the right stimulus.
This is why you wonder why that "harmless holy guy" did what they said he did.

Unfortunately, many of them never change, their lives get cut short or they end up in prison.
