system: What are dental sealants, and how can the help my dental health?
output: Sealant is a material used to coat the top, chewing surfaces of the teeth. This coating protects the tooth from decay and usually lasts a long time, but can only be placed on a tooth without decay. It is usually placed on children's teeth as they get their permanent teeth.
system: How can I eat right for dental health?
output: These foods produce the most acids in the mouth and the longer they stay in the mouth, the more they can damage the teeth. Hard "sucking candies" are especially harmful because they stay in the mouth a long time. Snacking on sugary foods can lead to tooth decay, because most people don't brush after snacks. Starchy snack foods, like potato chips, stick to the teeth. Avoid snacking on: Candies, cookies, cakes, and pie Sugary gum Crackers, breadsticks, and chips Dried fruits and raisins Visit your dentist at least once every six months.
system: How should I floss my teeth?
output: To clean the inside of the bottom front teeth, angle the head in an up-and-down position toward the bottom inside of the mouth and move the toothbrush in a small circle. To floss: Remove about an 18-inch strip of floss from the dispenser. Place the floss in your mouth and use your index fingers to push the floss between the teeth. Be careful not to push too hard and injure the gums. Move the floss up and down against the tooth and up and around the gum line. The floss should form a C-shape around the tooth as you floss. Floss between each tooth as well as behind the back teeth. Use a clean section of floss as needed and take up used floss by winding it around the fingers.
system: What are tips for using mouth rinses to help care for your teeth and gums?
output: If you can, brush after every meal. Floss teeth at least once a day. Some rinses can do both. Swish the mouthwash in your mouth for 30 to 60 seconds. Fluoride mouth rinses also help reduce and prevent tooth decay. The ADA does not recommend fluoride mouth rinses for children ages 6 or younger, because they may swallow the rinse.

output: After brushing your teeth for two to three minutes, rinse your mouth with water. Move the floss up and down against the tooth and up and around the gum line.
system: How soon can you leave the hospital after coronary artery bypass surgery?
output: You may be able to leave the hospital after 4 or 5 days. But this will depend on how fast you recover and whether you have any other problems.
system: How can you prepare for coronary artery bypass surgery?
output: Your doctor will also let you know if you need to make any changes to your diet or lifestyle before the surgery and make any changes to medicines you take. Also tell your doctor about any vitamins and supplements you take, even if they are natural, in case they could affect your risk of bleeding. You'll also need to make plans for recovery after your surgery.
system: How soon can you start walking after coronary artery bypass surgery?
output: After the surgery, you will need to spend a day or two in the intensive care unit so doctors can make sure your heart and breathing are fine.
system: What are the risks of coronary artery bypass surgery?
output: Every surgery comes with risks, and coronary artery bypass surgery is no different. Some of those include: Blood clots that can increase your chances of having a stroke, heart attack, or lung problems Bleeding too much Infection Abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias) Pneumonia Problems breathing Fever and pain Kidney failure Memory loss and trouble thinking clearly Many things affect these risks, including your age, how many bypasses you get, and any other medical conditions you may have.
system: How soon can you get back to work after coronary artery bypass surgery?
output: If you work at a desk job and you don't have any complications from the surgery, you can probably go back to work 4 to 6 weeks after your surgery. If your job involves more physical activity, you may need extra recovery time at home. It will likely take about 2 to 3 months for you to completely heal.
system: Why do you need coronary artery bypass surgery?
output: Your coronary arteries supply your heart muscle with blood. If they have too much plaque built up in them, it can narrow or even block your blood from passing through. If your heart can't get enough blood or oxygen, you can have a heart attack. If your coronary arteries are dangerously blocked, your doctor may recommend an operation to get around, or âbypassâ the blockage. It's like taking an alternate route when your usual ride home is clogged up by traffic. The operation builds that bypass.
system: How long does coronary artery bypass surgery take?
output: The operation builds that bypass. You'll get general anesthesia, which means you won't be âawake.â If you get open-heart surgery, the surgeon will make a long cut in the center of your chest and open your rib cage.
system: What will you feel after coronary artery bypass surgery?
output: You may feel soreness in your chest. You'll have the most discomfort in the first 2 to 3 days following the procedure. You will likely get pain medicines for that. You might not be hungry and even be constipated for a few weeks after the surgery. You could have trouble sleeping while you're in the hospital. If the surgeon removes a piece of healthy vein from your leg, you may have some swelling there. This is all normal.
system: What is idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura?
