Выпадение молочных зубов – естественный процесс в развитии молодого организма, который бывает, как болезненным, так и безболезненным. При первых признаках выпадения молочных зубов следует обратиться в детскую стоматологию. Однако, можно вырвать зубик и в домашних условиях без боли и страха, если руководствоваться советами, приведенными ниже в статье.

Показания к удалению молочных зубов у детей

Стоматологи не спешат удалять молочные зубы, даже незначительные вмешательства в челюстной аппарат могут привести к повреждению корневой системы постоянных зубов и сформировать неправильный прикус. Если зубки не выпадают сами, их оперативное удаление требуется в следующих случаях:

• запущенный кариес;
• тяжелое повреждение зуба или челюсти;
• чрезмерная подвижность молочных зубов;
• формирование неправильного прикуса;
• гнойные воспаления в ротовой полости, гайморит.

Как подготовить ребенка и вырвать зуб без боли и страха?

Страх перед дантистами и процедурой по удалению зубов у детей обосновывается либо отсутствием опыта, либо негативным «прошлым» в данной сфере. Чтобы вырвать зубик без боли и страха, чадо надо настроить — провести так называемую профилактическую беседу, а не вырывать зуб сходу. Какие методы подходят для этого?

Организуйте игру на тему стоматологии, где, например, пациентом может быть плюшевая игрушка, а стоматологом сам ребенок, либо роль дантиста выполняет мать, а ребенок — пациент.

Так же необходимо периодически проводить профилактические осмотры ротовой полости ребенка в детской стоматологии, дать ему привыкнуть к врачам, персоналу, инструментам и атмосфере в клинике.

Как быстро и просто удалить зуб в домашних условиях?

Если молочный зуб сильно шатается и некогда бежать в детскую стоматологию, есть несколько приемов вырвать его в домашних условиях без боли, но помните о рисках. Прежде чем удалять зуб, накормите ребенка, так как после проведения процедуры не рекомендуется употреблять пищу еще минимум 2-3 часа. После кормления нужно ополоснуть рот антисептическими растворами или отварами — воспользоваться настоем ромашки или Хлоргексидина биглюконатом. Перед тем как удалять зуб, можно наложить на десна стерильный тампон, смоченный готовым раствором Лидокаина «Асепт Спрей».

Далее приступаем к удалению зуба, есть несколько способов:

• Удаление зуба врчуную пальцами. Прежде чем это делать, нужно наложить на зуб марлю, смоченную антисептиком, затем ухватиться за зуб и резко выдернуть. Этот способ хоть и уменьшает боль ребенку, но может ввести его в шок. Использовать этот метод нужно только если зуб сильно шатается (рекомендуем прочитать: что делать, если шатается и коренной зуб?).
• Если зуб не поддается, нужно медленно его расшатывать, постепенно увеличивая угол наклона так, чтобы не повреждать ткани десны.
• Можно использовать в качестве рычага нить, обвязанную вокруг зуба, но прикладывать силу нужно не горизонтально, а вертикально, во избежание повреждения тех же тканей десны.

Использование обезболивающих препаратов

«Все есть яд, и ничто не лишено ядовитости; одна лишь доза делает яд незаметным» — Парацельс. Прежде чем использовать любые обезболивающие препараты, помните, что подавляющее их большинство воздействуют на центральную нервную систему и при неумелом или халатном с ними обращении может возникнуть повреждение ЦНС или даже паралич. Проконсультируйтесь со специалистом!

К наиболее эффективным обезболивающим препаратам именно против зубной боли относятся:

1. Лидокоин Асепт спрей — местное обезболивающее, разрешенное для применения в детском возрасте.
2. Парацетамол – препарат для самых маленьких, никаких ограничений по возрасту кроме дозировки не имеется.
3. Сильным эффектом обезболивания обладает препарат Кеторол. Разрешается использовать не более трех таблеток в сутки,не рекомендуется употреблять детям до 12 лет. Для лучшего эффекта следует вместе с препаратом выпить не менее стакана воды.
4. Кетанов – наилучшее средство от зубной боли. Действующее вещество Кетанов — кеторолак. Однако с лекарством следует быть осторожным. Кетанов не рекомендуется употреблять детям до 16 лет, беременным и кормящим женщинам, больным бронхиальной астмой.
5. Для обезболивания подойдут вещества и их композиции природного происхождения: отвар шалфея, ромашки, масло мяты перечной, полоскание полости рта раствором пищевой соды.

Противопоказания и меры предосторожности

Для того чтобы избавить ребенка от лишних страданий, а себя от лишних проблем, следует помнить о мерах предосторожности при удалении зубов:

• Первое, что не стоит никогда сбрасывать со счетов, – если зуб сильно шатается, он представляет опасность сам по себе (рекомендуем прочитать: как происходит выпадение молочных зубов у детей?). В случае его попадания в желудочно-кишечный тракт могут произойти серьезные травмы носоглотки, пищевода и желудка вплоть до язвы механической природы. Именно поэтому зуб стоит удалить очень аккуратно, и вопреки расхожему мнению не стоит употреблять для расшатывания вышеуказанного твердую пищу, это может стоить жизни ребенку.
• Никогда не принуждайте ребенка к удалению зуба, будьте с ним мягким, не доставляйте ему дискомфорта. При стрессе у ребенка выделяется в большом количестве адреналин (у ребенка в огромном количестве, так как гормональный баланс детей обычно стабильный и здоровый), который препятствует сворачиванию крови, что приводит к тому, что лунка долго будет не заживать, воспаляясь под действием микроорганизмов.
• Постарайтесь расшатать правильно верхние зубы, так как гноение верхней челюсти гораздо опасней чем нижней. Не стоит пытаться выдрать зубик быстро и грубо, это чревато травмой кости и десен. Если он качается, следует вытащить его, обвязав ниткой, резко, но аккуратно.

Теперь вы знаете, как быстро и просто вырвать зуб дома. Разберемся, как ухаживать за лункой.

Рекомендации по уходу за лункой

• Не стоит держать ватку в лунке дольше 15 минут. Этого времени вполне достаточно для формирования сгустка. При чрезмерно долгом наложении ватки, есть риск повредить кровяную оболочку сгустка.
• Психологически довольно трудно, но стоит постараться не трогать лунку языком. В случае попадания в нее остатков пищи необходимо ополоснуть рот раствором хлоргексидина или иным средством для полоскания рта.
• Сразу после удаления зуба не стоит проводить полоскания рта, лучше прикладывать тампоны или стерильную вату смоченные хлоргексидином, а полоскание начать на следующий день.
• Первое время стоит отказаться от всего того, что повышает артериальное давление: физических нагрузок, горячих ванны и др. – это может привести к кровотечению.
• Обязательно посмотрите видео на тему, как выдергивать шатающийся зуб, чтобы получить визуальное представление о самом процессе.

90000 6 Ways to Remove Loose Baby Tooth Without Pain at Home 90001 90002 Baby teeth start appearing after 6 months of age in children. These primary or baby teeth will remain for only a short period; children begin to lose these teeth for their permanent ones from around the age of six or seven. While most will be very excited about their falling teeth and will be more than happy to play around with their loose tooth, some do not like it and will want you to take it out.90003 90004 Easy Tips to Remove Baby Teeth Without Pain And Safely 90005 90002 Here are some tips on how to pull a baby tooth out safely. 90003 90008 1. Perfect Timing 90009 90002 Just because your child’s tooth is starting to come loose, it does not mean that it is ready to be pulled out. The roots of the baby teeth dissolve, causing it to loosen and come out to make way for the roots of the permanent adult teeth to grow. If you do not wait for the right time, your child will have an empty gap in their row of teeth for much longer, than if you had waited until the tooth was loose enough to come out.Pulling a tooth out before the right time will also make the process of removal much more painful for your child. When the tooth moves as far forwards and backwards as possible, then you know that the time is right. Give your child a heads-up that it could take a few months before that loose tooth is ready to be pulled or fall out on its own, and hence, she will need to be patient in the meantime. 90003 90008 2. Loosey Goosey 90009 90002 Just because it may take a long time for the tooth to fall out, it does not mean it can not be helped along to make the process move quicker.The simplest and most painless way to go about loosening the tooth is to have your child do it herself. Get her to move it around with her tongue or finger until it becomes loose enough, such that pulling it out at a point will be painless. While loosening, your child will be able to feel how far back it can go without causing pain and will be able to tell when it is okay for you to try and help her pull it out. If you want to try something to help it along, give your child some food that is not so easy to chew, such as corn on the cob or an apple or cucumber.90003 90002 90003 90008 3. Prep the Gums 90009 90002 When it’s time to get started, you can help prepare for any possible pain by numbing the area. Either apply an ointment on the gums which has been prescribed by the paediatrician or dentist, or have your child eat a few ice 90021 golas 90022 to help numb it in a way she will enjoy. 90003 90008 4. Get a Grip 90009 90002 Trying to grab hold of a tooth covered in saliva can be a serious challenge, especially since baby teeth can be so small.The best way to get a grip would be to wipe your child’s tooth a few times with some gauze, and then by using a fresh piece to help you grab hold of the tooth. You can also use rubber gloves as they will have a firmer grip after you have already gone ahead and wiped down the baby tooth. Having a bad grip can only prolong the process and cause pain to your child. You can compare it to ripping off a band-aid; the quicker you do it, the less it hurts. 90003 90002 90003 90008 5. Who Pulls? 90009 90002 When it’s time for the pulling, let your child do it because she is more aware of how much pain there is and can stop if the pain becomes too intense.Sometimes, it is possible to misjudge if a tooth is ready to come out or not and the only person who will know for sure is your child. Some children are up for the challenge, but if your child is too scared to do it, you can pull the tooth out without causing any pain. Just tug at it lightly first and ask if the tooth feels loose enough to come out. If there was any pain in the light tug, do not go ahead with it because it may still be too soon. If your child feels like it is loose enough and the pain is not intense, pull quickly so that it comes out in one shot.90003 90008 6. Avoid the ‘Doorknob’ Method 90009 90002 We’ve all seen and heard stories about how the best way to remove loose baby tooth is by tying a string around the tooth, then tying the other end to a doorknob, and then shutting the door quickly, causing the tooth to come out fast and painless. The problem with this method is that it could cause a lot of pain to your child if the tooth is still not ready to come out and can also lead to a lot of bleeding. So no matter how tempting and exciting the method may be, avoid it to spare your child the pain.90003 90002 There are times when your child may grow their permanent teeth before their baby teeth have even started to fall out. This will cause the permanent teeth to grow in behind the baby teeth, making two rows (also called ‘shark’s teeth’) and there may be times when your child’s baby teeth will not want to fall out at all. These are times when you may need to pay the dentist a visit. If your child’s teeth are normal and you have helped her to remove her teeth, be careful of the bleeding. Use a piece of gauze and press it against the gum to help stop the bleeding, but if the bleeding continues for more than fifteen minutes, get help.90003 90002 90041 Also Read: 90042 90041 Clove Oil Usage for Teething Pain Relief in Babies 90042 90045 90041 Essential Oils to Use for Teething Babies 90042 90003 .90000 How a glass of milk can save a knocked out tooth 90001 90002 How a glass of milk could save a tooth that has been knocked out 90003 90004 90005 Teeth can be saved if they fall out, but they need to go back into the socket immediately 90006 90005 Failing that, teeth should be put in cow’s milk which helps the roots survive 90006 90009 90010 By David Hurst 90011 90010 Published: 90013 00:26 BST, 8 October 2013 90014 | Updated: 90013 00:26 BST, 8 October 2013 90014 90011 90018 90018 90010 Smiling again: Michelle Longhurst with her son Ben, who broke his front teeth while out roller-blading 90011 90010 When nine-year old Ben Longhurst broke his front teeth while out roller-blading, his mother was worried he would suffer long-term problems.90023 90011 90010 ‘About three-quarters of them broke off, and he was left with pointy bits from the way they snapped,’ says Michelle, 43. ‘We rushed him to a local dentist, who thought the roots might be OK and put on temporary caps. ‘ 90023 90011 90010 But these fell off four weeks later, exposing the nerves under Ben’s teeth. Every time new temporary caps were put on, these also came off after four to six weeks. Eventually, one of the teeth became infected, causing Ben’s gums to swell and become painful.The dentist warned Michelle, a lawyer, that her son was in danger of losing his front teeth and that they would have to be replaced with dentures or a bridge. 90023 90011 90010 ‘The dentist told us he needed to see a root canal specialist, or there was a danger of him losing both front teeth,’ says Michelle, who lives in Hampstead, North London. 90023 90011 90010 Ben then underwent a pioneering new treatment — one that causes bleeding in the roots of the teeth and harnesses the power of the body’s own healing system to repair the tooth.About one in five youngsters under 16 have an accident that damages or knocks out a front adult tooth. This age group is more likely to lose a tooth due to playing sports and generally being more active. 90023 90011 90010 This has previously posed problems for dentists, as the tooth has not yet finished growing, making conventional repair or root canal treatment difficult. In the centre of each tooth is a network of nerves and blood vessels that run from the top, or crown, down to the root, which is embedded in the jaw.90023 90011 90010 This network is called the root canal system, and the nerves and blood vessels are collectively referred to as the pulp. Root canal treatment is necessary when the pulp becomes infected, often as a result of injury. 90011 90010 Treatment involves removing bacteria from the root canal system to prevent further decay and, in severe cases, the loss of the tooth. 90023 90011 90010 The dentist drills into the tooth, removes the infected pulp, then fills the entire system with a type of sealant.The tooth is then topped with a filling or a crown. 90023 90011 90010 Because children’s teeth are not fully developed, the conventional root canal procedure may not be successful. Further, because the damaged tooth has now stopped growing properly as a result of the injury, performing this on a youngster involves repeated procedures. Even then the tooth is left in a weaker state because the tooth does not heal properly. 90023 90011 90010 Now dentists have developed a new treatment known as regenerative endodontics, which allows the tooth and root to develop normally as if the original pulp inside the canal had maintained its life.This involves making a tiny cut at the top of the tooth, which then allows it to repair itself. 90023 90011 90010 To access the root canal, the dentist drills a small hole in the back of the tooth, then washes out the root with a disinfecting agent that removes all remnants of damaged pulp. 90023 90011 90010 An antibiotic paste is then placed into the root and the hole in the tooth is closed with a strong cement. This is then left for four to six weeks to kill all bacteria in the tooth. 90023 90011 90060 90060 90010 Milk teeth: If a tooth has been knocked out, put it back in its socket or put it in cow’s milk 90011 90010 The patient then returns and the cement is removed.The canal is washed out with disinfecting solution and a sterile needle is carefully pushed through the end of the root. 90023 90011 90010 This acts like a cut and triggers a small amount of bleeding in the empty root. This bleeding then forms a clot. It is thought that the processes of bleeding and clot formation trigger the body’s natural healing mechanisms, helping to stimulate the growth of new pulp. 90023 90011 90010 Whereas conventional root canal treatment takes numerous visits to the dentist, this new technique takes just two.Treatment usually costs from £ 550. It works only for incompletely developed teeth in children. 90023 90011 90010 ‘I tell children that we will take out the infection in their tooth, and then make it grow again,’ says Dr Julian Webber, of London’s Harley Street Centre for Endodontics, one of the first centres in the country to perform the method. Ben Longhurst had the treatment with Dr Webber last June, and his tooth is now healing well. He may need the treatment for the other tooth soon. But dentists are also keen to stress to parents that teeth can sometimes be saved if knocked out.90023 90011 90023 90010 ‘If someone is not happy to put a tooth back into its socket, they should immediately put it in cow’s milk. Milk — skimmed, semi or full fat — maintains the correct fluid balance in the root, helping it survive longer. ‘ 90011 90010 ‘The most crucial thing for a knocked-out tooth — for both children and adults — is that it needs to go back into its socket as soon as possible,’ explains Professor Monty Duggal, head of paediatric dentistry at the University of Leeds . 90023 90011 90010 ‘We say this is the only true dental emergency.If it’s not put back in soon enough, the tooth would be lost. 90023 90011 90010 ‘If a teacher rings me from a school and says a child’s knocked out a front tooth, my first advice is to rinse the tooth and try to put it back in. As long as they do it to some extent, then when they come to us we can improve on it. 90023 90011 90010 ‘But if someone is not happy to put a tooth back into its socket, they should immediately put it in cow’s milk. Milk — skimmed, semi or full fat — maintains the correct fluid balance in the root, helping it survive longer.’90023 90011 90010 He adds that water should never be used to preserve a tooth because this causes the cells of the root to swell and die. People should then get to a dentist with the tooth in the milk. If you can not see a dentist within an hour, go to your local A & E. 90023 90011 90010 This works for permanent teeth in both adults and children. 90023 90011 90010 If milk is not available, experts recommend putting the tooth in the injured person’s mouth between their cheek and gum until they can see a dentist, as this will help to keep it moist and preserve the root.90023 90011 90010 ‘Anything more than ten to 15 minutes «dry time» is very detrimental to the outcome,’ says Professor Duggal. ‘But if it’s put in milk within five minutes, the root’s cells can be preserved for up to an hour.’ 90023 90011.90000 Can you treat a UTI without antibiotics? 7 home remedies 90001 90002 If you buy something through a link on this page, we may earn a small commission. How this works. 90003 90002 Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are caused by bacterial infection, so doctors usually treat them with antibiotics — but is it possible to treat a UTI without antibiotics? 90003 90002 UTIs are among the most common bacterial infections in the United States. They are especially prevalent in women, around 50 percent of whom will have one during their lifetime.UTIs also tend to reoccur. 90003 90002 Increasingly, people want to know whether non-antibiotic treatments can resolve UTIs. We explore this possibility here and provide seven evidence-based home remedies that can help to treat UTIs. 90003 90002 Antibiotics are an effective treatment for UTIs. However, the body can often resolve minor, uncomplicated UTIs on its own without the help of antibiotics. 90003 90002 By some estimates, 25-42 percent of uncomplicated UTI infections clear on their own.In these cases, people can try a range of home remedies to speed up recovery. 90003 90002 Complicated UTIs will require medical treatment. These UTIs involve one or more of the following factors: 90003 90016 90017 changes in the urinary tract or organs, such as a swollen prostate or a reduced flow of urine 90018 90017 species of bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics 90018 90017 conditions that affect the immune system, such as HIV, cardiac disease, or lupus 90018 90023 90002 Antibiotics are the standard treatment for UTIs because they kill the bacteria that cause the infections.Most UTIs develop when bacteria enter the urinary tract from outside the body. The species of bacteria most likely to be responsible for UTIs include: 90003 90016 90017 90028 Escherichia coli 90029 species, which cause up to 90 percent of all bladder infections 90018 90017 90028 Staphylococcus epidermidis 90029 and 90028 Staphylococcus aureus 90029 90018 90017 90028 Klebsiella pneumoniae 90029 90018 90023 90002 While antibiotics can usually treat UTIs quickly and effectively, people can be allergic to them, and their use can carry certain risks.90003 90002 For instance, an estimated 22 percent of the women receiving treatment for uncomplicated UTIs develop a vaginal 90028 Candida 90029 infection, which is a type of fungal infection. 90003 90002 Other side effects of antibiotics as UTI treatments include: 90003 90002 More severe risks of using antibiotics include: 90003 90052 Creating stronger strains of bacteria 90053 90002 Over time, some species of bacteria have become resistant to traditional antibiotics. There are several species of 90028 E.coli 90029 that are showing increasing drug resistance, and these are the primary cause of UTIs. 90003 90002 Every time people use an antibiotic, there is an increased risk of the bacteria developing resistance to it. This is even more likely when people do not follow the doctor’s instructions to complete the full prescribed course of treatment. 90003 90002 As a result, doctors are trying to reduce the use of antibiotics, especially when other treatments may be effective or when illnesses can resolve on their own.90003 90002 It is essential to continue a course of antibiotics until the end date that the doctor provides. People should also never share antibiotics with others. 90003 90052 Damaging good bacteria 90053 90002 The body contains a community of bacteria, viruses, and fungi that live harmoniously and help with bodily functions. Antibiotics may destroy some of these bacteria, which could increase the likelihood of other infections occurring. 90003 90002 While scientific research supports some at-home or natural UTI remedies, others have been a part of traditional medicine systems for thousands of years.90003 90002 To treat a UTI without antibiotics, people can try the following home remedies: 90003 90052 1. Stay hydrated 90053 90002 Drinking enough water is one of the easiest ways to help prevent and treat UTIs. 90003 90002 Water helps the urinary tract organs remove waste from the body efficiently while retaining vital nutrients and electrolytes. 90003 90002 Being hydrated also dilutes the urine and speeds its journey through the system, making it harder for bacteria to reach the cells that line urinary organs and to cause an infection.90003 90002 There is no set recommendation for how much people should drink daily, as each person’s water needs are different. On average though, people should drink at least six to eight 8-ounce (oz) glasses of water each day. 90003 90052 2. Urinate when the need arises 90053 90002 Frequent urination puts pressure on bacteria in the urinary tract, which can help to clear them out. 90003 90002 It also reduces the amount of time that bacteria in the urine are exposed to cells in the urinary tract, reducing the risk of them attaching and forming an infection.90003 90002 Always urinate as soon as possible when the urge strikes to help prevent and treat UTIs. 90003 90052 3. Drink cranberry juice 90053 90002 Cranberry juice is one of the most well-established natural treatments for UTIs. People have also traditionally used it to help clear general infections and speed up wound recovery time. 90003 90002 Studies on the effectiveness of cranberry juice for UTIs have had mixed results. According to one review, cranberry juice contains compounds that may prevent 90028 E.coli 90029 cells from attaching to cells in the urinary tract. 90003 90002 Cranberry juice also contains antioxidants, including polyphenols, which have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. 90003 90002 There is no set guideline on how much cranberry juice to drink to treat a UTI, but a common recommendation is to drink around 400 milliliters (mL) of at least 25-percent cranberry juice every day to prevent or treat UTIs. 90003 90052 4. Use probiotics 90053 90002 Beneficial bacteria, known as probiotics, can help keep the urinary tract healthy and free from harmful bacteria.90003 90002 In particular, a group of probiotics called lactobacilli may help with treating and preventing UTIs. They may do this by: 90003 90016 90017 preventing harmful bacteria from attaching to urinary tract cells 90018 90017 producing hydrogen peroxide in urine, which is a strong antibacterial 90018 90017 lowering urine pH, making conditions less favorable for bacteria 90018 90023 90002 People who take lactobacillus supplements while on antibiotics for UTIs may develop less antibiotic resistance than people not taking them.90003 90002 Probiotics occur in a variety of fermented and dairy products, including: 90003 90016 90017 yogurts 90018 90017 kefir 90018 90017 some types of cheese 90018 90017 sauerkraut 90018 90023 90002 People can also take probiotic supplements, which are usually in the form of a capsule or a powder that mixes into water or other beverages. 90003 90052 5. Get enough vitamin C 90053 90002 Vitamin C is an antioxidant that helps to improve immune system function. 90003 90002 Vitamin C also reacts with nitrates in urine to form nitrogen oxides that can kill bacteria.It can lower the pH of urine, making it less likely that bacteria will survive. 90003 90002 As with cranberry juice, people have been using vitamin C in various forms to treat UTIs for thousands of years. But there is a lack of quality research to confirm whether or not increasing vitamin C intake can prevent or treat UTIs. 90003 90002 According to the limited research, taking other supplements alongside vitamin C may maximize its benefits. 90003 90002 In a 2016 study, 38 women with recurrent UTIs took vitamin C, probiotics, and cranberries three times daily for 20 days, then stopped for 10 days.They repeated this cycle for 3 months. The researchers concluded that this could be a safe and effective treatment approach for UTIs. 90003 90002 The National Institutes of Health recommend that for people aged 19 and over, women should get at least 75 mg of vitamin C per day, while men need around 90 mg per day. Adults who smoke should take an additional 35 mg of the vitamin each day. 90003 90052 6. Wipe from front to back 90053 90002 Many UTIs develop when bacteria from the rectum or feces gain access to the urethra, the small channel that allows urine to flow out of the body.90003 90002 Once bacteria are in the urethra, they can travel up into other urinary tract organs where they can lead to infections. 90003 90002 After urinating, wipe in a way that prevents bacteria from coming into contact with the genitals. Use separate pieces of toilet paper to wipe the genitals and anus. 90003 90052 7. Practice good sexual hygiene 90053 90002 Sexual intercourse introduces bacteria and other microbes from outside the body to the urinary tract. Practicing good sexual hygiene can help to reduce the number of bacteria that people can transfer during intercourse and other sexual acts.90003 90002 Examples of good sexual hygiene include: 90003 90016 90017 urinating before and immediately after sex 90018 90017 using barrier contraception, such as a condom 90018 90017 washing the genitals, especially the foreskin, before and after engaging in sexual acts or intercourse 90018 90017 washing the genitals or changing condoms if switching from anal sex to vaginal sex 90018 90017 ensuring that sexual partners are aware of any current or previous UTIs 90018 90023 90002 Currently, researchers are trying to design vaccines that would prevent many types of bacteria from being able to attach to body cells properly.90003 90002 They are also working on developing other UTI vaccines that prevent bacteria from being able to grow and cause infection. To date, only one type of UTI vaccine has reached preliminary human trials. Studies on the rest are still using animals and tissue samples. 90003 90002 If a person suspects that they might have a UTI, they should speak to their doctor for advice on the best way to treat the possible infection. 90003 90002 Antibiotics may not always be necessary to treat UTIs, but it is still important to seek medical attention for any infection or suspected infection.This will reduce the risk of a more severe infection developing that is harder to treat. 90003 90002 The signs and symptoms of UTIs include: 90003 90016 90017 increased frequency and urgency of urination 90018 90017 pain or burning when urinating 90018 90017 low-grade fevers (below 101 ° F) 90018 90017 pressure or cramping in the area around the lower abdomen and groin 90018 90017 change in the smell or color of urine 90018 90017 cloudy, murky, or bloody urine 90018 90023 90002 Most people develop a UTI at some point in their lifetime, especially women.90003 90002 Many UTIs go away on their own or with primary care.

Similarly, keeping the teeth and gums healthy requires regular preventative care. Food and saliva form plaque, which can mineralize into hard deposits of tartar. 90003 90002 Gingivitis (inflammation of the gums) and loss of permanent teeth can result. Actual cavities are relatively rare, but pitting and other tooth damage can result from neglecting oral hygiene.Mouth pain and tooth loss may reduce a cat’s interest or ability to eat, causing weight loss and making the cat more prone to illness. 90003 90006 What to Do 90007 90002 90009 Brush regularly. 90010 You do not need to have an actual toothbrush and paste, but giving your cat’s teeth a good going-over a few times a week is the best way to fight plaque. There are pet toothbrushes available, but you can also just use a piece of gauze or rough cloth that is moistened and wrapped around your index finger.Rub the cloth vigorously over the outside surfaces of the teeth (you do not usually need to get the inner or biting surfaces). This will help keep your cat’s teeth clean and gums healthy. 90003 90002 90009 Give Tabby the crunchies. 90010 Hard, dry cat food is the best bet to prevent plaque and tartar. There are now some chew-toy products on the market made especially for cats, which can also help. 90003 90002 90009 Look out for tartar. 90010 Plaque is a mushy whitish material that you can easily scrape off the teeth with your fingernail.Tartar, on the other hand, is greyish, white, or brown and does not come off with brushing. Tartar buildup needs to be removed by your vet. 90003 90002 90009 Gums the word. 90010 Giving your cat a weekly gum massage helps keep gums healthy and prevents tooth loss. Using a cotton swab, rub the area where the teeth and gums meet. If the gums are red or there’s any bleeding, it could be gingivitis, and your cat may need veterinary treatment. 90003 90002 90009 Broken teeth and abscesses.90010 A cracked canine tooth is not rare in cats, especially outdoor cats and former strays. Broken teeth are usually only a problem if the pulp (the capsule of blood vessels and nerves in the middle of the tooth) is exposed. This can be quite painful, and the tooth may die. 90003 90002 In either case, there’s a risk of infection in the tooth root — an abscess. Abscesses can also form from bad oral hygiene. Symptoms include swelling around the mouth that may come and go and tenderness.Broken teeth that have exposed pulp, die, or abscess need to be removed by your veterinarian. 90003 90006 When to Call the Vet 90007 90002 Make an appointment with your vet if your cat has tartar buildup, shows signs of gingivitis (red or bleeding gums), has a broken tooth with exposed pulp or that has died (it will usually become discolored), has any swelling or tenderness around the mouth, or has any loose permanent teeth. Adult cats often lose teeth as they get older — especially the small front incisors — and veterinary care usually is not necessary for this.90003 90002 90009 DANGER LEVEL: 90010 Tooth and gum problems can cause discomfort, make the cat touchy, and give her bad breath — annoying but not particularly dangerous. However, as the problems worsen, the cat can stop eating altogether and infections can set in. These infections could be considered dangerous if not treated. 90003 90002 Moving down from the mouth a little bit, we will discuss upper respiratory diseases in our last section. 90003 .
