Thinking about getting braces but dislike the thought of having the “metal mouth look”? Worry no more for getting your teeth straightened means more than brackets and metal wires.
Introducing Clarity Aesthetic and Dental Center’s Invisalign service! With Invisalign, clear tooth aligners are used instead of brackets or metal wires to straighten one’s teeth. Because they are clear, the teeth can be straightened without anyone even knowing you are wearing braces. But what exactly is invisalign?
February is celebrated every year as the love month. However, it has also been dubbed as the Dental Health Month not only in the Philippines but worldwide as well. The main purpose of this celebration is to spread awareness on the importance of good oral health.
Contrary to popular belief, good oral health does not only entail having pretty teeth or a beautiful smile. Instead, it is more about taking care of one’s mouth by having good oral hygiene. This means regular brushing, flossing, tongue cleaning, gargling with mouthwash, and eating a healthy diet. Limiting one’s intake of sugary drinks and foods and not smoking also help. People with good oral health and good oral hygiene are those who have clean mouth and teeth that are free from plaque and debris, gums that are pink and healthy, and breath that does not emit an odor.
On January 12, 2010, a 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck Haiti, the poorest country in the western hemisphere causing massive damage particularly to the capital city of Port-au-Prince. The quake struck just before 5 p.m. on Tuesday, devastating the infrastructure around the city like Haiti’s National Palace and some of its most important cultural symbols. A total of 3 million people have been estimated to have been affected by the quake, while Haitian President René Préval estimates that the death toll has already reached thousands. As an already impoverished nation struck by such a strong earthquake, Haiti is expected to suffer from a severe health crisis.
Prior to the earthquake, Haiti has already had major health concerns due to the poor conditions of the country’s water and sanitation infrastructure. Since water has always been a scarce commodity for majority of the Haitians, one can just imagine how big the further damage that the earthquake has wrought in the country’s already broken system.
