article: Your dentist will examine your wisdom teeth, as well as the general health of your mouth, teeth, and jaw. X-rays may also be taken to determine the position of your wisdom teeth. This examination will help your dentist determine the best course of action. Extraction is often recommended as a treatment for wisdom teeth that cause discomfort. Some dentists recommend extracting them even if they do not cause problematic symptoms. This is sometimes done as a preventative measure, or because their growth will cause issues later. Some dentists see no reason for extracting teeth that are not causing problems, are reluctant to remove teeth in patients that have other health issues, or are concerned about potential complications. Alternatives to extraction include: Regular exams to monitor for changes or complications Medications to control symptoms and treat any infections Operculectomy (removal of overlapping gum tissue) During a consultation with your dentist, they can explain what the procedure will entail, how it will help you, any potential risks or complications, and how to recover from the surgery. This will also be an opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have. The procedure can be performed at a dental surgeon's office. It should take about 30 60 minutes, and you will be allowed to go home the same day. You will be given local anesthesia and perhaps sedatives for the procedure. Gum and connective tissues attached to the tooth will be removed, and the tooth will be carefully extracted. Finally, the opening left by the tooth will be closed with stitches. Your dentist will provide you with specific instructions for recovering from your surgery. You should be prepared for a few things: There may be slight bleeding during the first day after the extraction of your wisdom teeth. Your dentist will give you guidance on stopping the bleeding. Some swelling and soreness in your jaw is to be expected for a few days following the extraction. In some cases even small bruises may appear on the cheek if the surgery was complicated. Your dentist will inform you of pain medications to take that will give you relief. In order to reduce the post-surgery swelling, surgeon may inject some anti-inflammatory medication such as dexamethasone. Plan on a few days of rest so that you can recover. Do not brush your teeth or use mouthwash for the first 24 hours after the extraction. Since your jaw will be sore, you should also plan on eating only soft foods like applesauce and yogurt for about a week. Drink lots of water the first few days after the extraction, but avoid caffeinated, carbonated, and hot beverages. Do not use a straw to drink, as the sucking action could cause complications with the wound. It will take several weeks for the wounds to fully heal. Contact your dentist if you have questions or concerns at any time following the extraction, including signs of fever, numbness, or severe pain.

article: Any tightly sealable container works, but you probably have an empty water bottle laying around somewhere. Try to find one that holds at least 16 ounces or 500 milliliter, so you can clearly see the display. This method is safe for kids to follow on their own, and much faster and easier than making a permanent lava lamp. Young kids can ask an adult to do the pouring for them.

article:
A good way to make yourself cough up when you have a wet cough is through controlled coughing. Start seated in a comfortable place with both feet on the floor. Cross your arms over across your abdomen, breathing in slowly through your nose. Lean forward and press your arms against your abdomen. Cough two to three times in sharp, short bursts. The second and third cough should loosen the phlegm enough to cough it out. Spit it out. Breathe in again through your nose so the mucus will not move back down your throat. Rest a moment, then repeat the process if you still have mucus. Start sitting down with your chin slightly raised. Breathe in slowly using your diaphragm instead of your chest. Hold your breath for two to three seconds, then let it out in a sharp burst of air through your mouth. Repeat two to three times, then breath normally for a few breaths. Make yourself cough once you feel enough phlegm build up in the back of your throat. It usually takes three to five cycles of huff breathing to clear enough mucus. The stronger the breath, the more mucus you will push out. Don't overtire yourself. Chest physical therapy is a method helpful for everyone from children to adults that loosens mucus stuck to the lungs. This requires a partner, so get someone to help you. Start with the congested person lying down with her chest raised about 45 degrees. Using a cupped hand, gently tap your hand on the area between the nipple and collarbone on the left side of the chest. Continue to tap your hand, using gentle but firm pressure, for two minutes. Repeat on the same area on the right side of the chest. To help clear the rest of your lungs, repeat the cupped hand tapping on: Over the shoulder blade on the left and right side of the back, after moving to a seated position leaning over a pillow in your lap On the front sides on the left and right while lying flat on the back On the sides on the left and right, while alternating lying on both sides with the arms over the head On the upper back above the edge of the ribs on both sides, while lying flat on the stomach You will cough during and for up to two hours after CPT. This is common and lets you know it's working. This technique is often used with children and adult with cystic fibrosis.
