Bad Breath Ruined Good Sex

Care about your love and sex life, never let your love ruined by the disgusting smell from your body or bad breath from your lip.

“It is an irony, appreciated only by the French, that good manners are the basis of very good sex. In bed, the two most erotic words in any language are ‘thank you’ and ‘please.’” Hubert Downs

Bad breath has ruined many a romantic and sexy mood. Yet in the world of sex etiquette, who is responsible to take charge of said breath? Is it the smeller who is making an odor value judgment or the person with the halitosis?

Walking through arrivals at the airport, I was greeted by a full on Hollywood kiss. Being a girl, I was really digging it and knew at once I must savor this moment because it does not happen often. As I heard the curious crowd “oh & ah”, I tried not to let the tears starting to form in my eyes appear so obvious. When the embrace was done and I came up for air, it took everything I had not to gag. 

You see, my knight in shining armor’s breath smelled (and tasted for that matter) like he had consumed an entire bulb of garlic at his recent supper.

Being a pragmatic gal, I thought to myself, “If he had been planning such a grand romantic gesture, why was the teensy matter of his breath forgotten?” Even if it had been a spur-of-the-moment inclination, in my world it is common sense to pop a breath mint after said supper before having contact with other human beings. 

In the girl form of locker room talk (a.k.a. having coffee), many a gal has recounted how they could not enjoy a romantic evening because her guy’s breath was repulsive. In trying to remedy the situation, they gave what they felt were obvious hints, like offering him a stick of gum, sprig of parsley or whatever breath freshener was available. They then were confounded that he just did not get it. (Please note: I am certain men have their own halitosis date challenges too.)

When I asked why they did not just come out and tell him straight about the offending breath, a look of horror appeared on their faces as they sputtered, “I just couldn’t.”  

Biting my tongue and feeling a bit sheepish, I thought of how I would have rather chewed off my arm than confront my garlic-loving prince at the airport. My inner romantic girl voice screamed that, if I told him, he would become discouraged enough never to want to do something I relish.

There are some things in this life that do not make much sense. Telling another human being with whom you are getting up close and personal that they have breath that could peel paint seems to be one of them. 

I decided to conduct an informal­ study—okay, so it was mostly friends and relatives that were within earshot while writing this article—on why it is so difficult to tell someone they have bad breath. There was complete consensus on why: nobody wanted to embarrass the other person, thereby breaking the romantic mood. 

Let me get this straight. They do not say anything because they do not want to break up a romantic mood that is already completely destroyed. Hmmm. To add insult to injury, as soon as turtle breath is out of earshot, the victim will go on about said bad breath to anyone who will listen to their woeful story. It is like living in a Seinfeld episode.  

Coming back to my question of who should take charge of a bad breath situation, there are a couple of things to think about. First, ask yourself if the breath is a one-off event (like the airport scene) or is it chronic? If it is the latter, a trip to the dentist may be in order. 

Next, ask if there is a laxness to the personal oral care regime. Think back to the start of a new relationship, when many a person silently crept out of bed at 5:00 a.m. to brush their teeth (or at least swipe toothpaste with their fingers over teeth) so their partner would wake up and experience “toothpaste kisses” first thing. 

Today, outside of the work environment, is a second thought ever given to quality of breath? Or is it presumed your partner will love you regardless? 

In fact, I have a theory that one of the reasons couples lose the desire to passionately kiss each other after many years together is because they do not make such a fuss over their breath. 

Good sex is all about preparation and the little things that make a big difference. If you want to get romantic and think you might have bad breath, simply lick the inside of your wrist and sniff. If you do not like what you smell, immediately do something to alleviate the situation. 

If nothing else make sure to keep a pack of Listerine PocketPaks at your bedside table when things start heating up…so they can stay heated up.

Oral Health Care for Pregnent man

If you are a pregnent man, take care of your oral health, because usually you have less experience than pregnent women.  

Pregnancy and your oral health care

Having babies does not cause you to lose teeth. If you lose a tooth during your pregnancy it will be from some other cause. There’s an old wives tale about losing calcium from your teeth to feed your baby. Plain and simple, this is a myth.

Calcium for your baby comes from your diet and nutrition, not your teeth! If your body is lacking calcium then you need to make up for it in your diet whether it be increasing your intake of foods high in calcium or taking a supplement. That does not mean that dental care isn’t important while pregnant, it just means don’t listen to old wives tales and take your guidance from your physician.

There is one area of dental health that you should pay attention to at all times, but especially when you are pregnant.

If you notice that your gums become swollen and you are pregnant, you should schedule an appointment to see your dentist and rule out periodontitis, a serious gum disease. Some research has shown that low birth weight and premature birth are linked to serious gum disease.

Practice good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing properly taking special care to clean around the gum line. To control gingivitis, you might want to increase your cleanings to include after all food intake during the second and third trimester.

Continue regular dental visits and treatments making certain that your dentist is aware of your pregnancy. One thing to avoid if you are or suspect that you are pregnant are x-rays.

Sharper teeth, better sex life

 

A male koala bellows: the booming sound announces a male’s prowess and boosts his chances of mating (Pic: M. Logan)

Animals have the most wild way of having sex.

It is reported that Koala would have better sex life if having sharp teeth. Animals do so ,so will you.

It takes more than male koala’s smile to woo a mate: females may also interested in the quality of his teeth. Australian researchers have found that a male koala’s chances of mating can be predicted by how worn his teeth are.

Murray Logan and Gordon D. Sanson of Melbourne’s Monash University have published a report on their unique way of predicting the reproductive life of koalas in the latest issue of the Australian Journal of Zoology.

“It is very hard to measure actual reproductive activity of individual koalas since they rarely mate,” Logan told ABC Science Online. “[And] it’s hard to determine if the mating act led to successful reproduction.”

Biologists have long used the degree of ‘tooth wear’ in koalas to assess how long they have left to live, but its relationship to koala sex habits had never been noted before. Koala teeth wear down as a result of their constant grinding of eucalyptus leaves, their primary source of food.

The blunter their teeth, the less food they can digest. Consequently, most koalas don’t actually die of disease or old age - they die of starvation.

Sharp younger koala teeth (above), and worn older teeth (below) - not effective at grinding eucalyptus leaves (Pic: M.Logan)

Logan wondered if tooth wear might also be a good indicator of a male koala’s reproductive life.

He selected six wild koalas, all with the same weight and body condition, from a 25 hectare study area of coastal manna gum trees on Raymond Island, off the coast of the southern state of Victoria.

The only apparent difference between the animals was their degree of tooth wear. Two koalas had a low degree, two had medium degree, and two had a high degree.

He fitted radio collars with microphones to each koala, enabling him to follow each animal as it moved from tree to tree, observing it from a distance and recording how much time it spent bellowing - one of the ways male koalas assert their social dominance. The more bellowing a male does, the more dominant he is, and the more likely he is to mate, Logan said.

He studied the behaviour of each koala over two days and nights. This involved a month of field work, during which time Logan constantly wore the headphones, even while sleeping, in the pop-top caravan attached to his car.

Every time the koalas bellowed, Logan would hear them, and every time they moved, he would drive after them to keep the radio signal clear. “I didn’t sleep for a month,” he said.

Logan found that koalas with low and high tooth wear only spent 2 to 3 minutes in total every 24 hours bellowing, whereas those in their prime - with medium tooth wear - spent 25 minutes.

He backed up his findings by studying another measure of social dominance, scent-marking. This is where koalas rub against a tree as they climb, marking it with scent from a gland on their sternum. Logan compared the number of trees each koala climbed without eating leaves, deducing that these were trees used for scent-marking alone.

The results followed the same pattern as the bellowing observations. Those with low and high tooth wear climbed no extra trees, whereas those with medium tooth wear climbed 5-7 extra trees per 24 hour period.

Don’t use your teeth during Oral Sex

Having Oral love is the most disgusting form of pleasure,  some people prefer teeth being used,  the others don’t like, they believe it can’t be helped for a little teeth. What’s the right way of oral sex?

Oral sex, if you really think about it, is probably the most disgusting form of pleasure man has ever conceived. (By the way, I’m listening to Kate BUSH right now… is there some sort of irony here that I can’t quite place my finger on(So to speak)?) Don’t get me wrong, I’m not knocking it. But let’s analyze this for a minute. You are sucking, licking and kissing your partners genitals. The area from which they release their waste. There is something to be said about a species that derives pleasure from this.

Other animals don’t bother with foreplay of any kind. In and out, that’s all there is for them. Man is the only creature that has made sex into more than procreation. Of course, some animals have a distinct feature that allows them to “clean” themselves, but can that really be considered oral sex? No, because they don’t do JUST that part of them; they clean their whole bodies at once, that just happens to be a fringe benefit… Then again, there is the age old question: “Why do dogs lick their dicks?”.. Because they can. Would man do the same, if our spines were more flexible? I’ll leave that thought up to you.

Ignoring the mere aspect of having oral sex, let’s think about why people want it in the first place? It might be because society doesn’t look too favourably upon it. Most people like to be different, but I don’t think that this is the main reason. Why does a man suck a woman’s breast? The man really doesn’t get any pleasure from it. But the fact that he is being intimate with a part of the anatomy that he doesn’t have… it is intriguing. Same with the other areas. But then, why not have straight sex? Because everyone and everything has that. Man and beast.

As well, perhaps it is an expression of ultimate commitment to a person. To show them that you aren’t afraid lick and swallow what they emit; that must say something about your feelings. Especially if you don’t like the taste. You are making a sacrifice for that special someone. Boy, nothing says lovin’ like a tongue in the ov-but I digress.

Then again, all people are different. What might seem sickening to some, might be a great turn on for others. Certainly sodomy is not restricted only to homosexuals, but not everyone would like to try it - even if it were with someone of the opposite sex. So for some, oral sex is something they enjoy. Getting or giving. (GETTING probably being more popular in standards of appreciation…)

Oral sex though, is something that has been done and thought about a lot. There have even been sayings made up about it.. (In regards to the size of tits) “Anything more than a mouthful is a waste” .. of course, anything less is a disappointment.

And also, there are certain problems that can come with too much oral sex. For example, have you ever tried to explain a pubic hair stuck in your teeth (To someone other than your partner.. or worse, to your partner who you haven’t had oral sex with lately..) Or how about the horror of a girl who uses too much teeth.. Ow. Don’t even think about that one. Ow.

But, whatever the case, oral sex is used by couples as a recreational sport. Do it when you’re bored, without the hassle of birth control or running as great a risk of contracting VD. In a time when AIDS is foremost on people’s minds, it’s no wonder we’re looking for sexual substitutes.

Oral Sex, What to avoid

When having Oral Sex,people fear about getting infection, you can wear a dam to prevent, and there is one more important tip: 

What is a dam?

A dam (used to be called a dental dam) is a latex or polyurethane (soft plastic) square, about 15cm by 15cm, which you can use to cover the anus or female genitals. It acts as a barrier to help prevent sexually transmitted infections passing from one person to another.

You can get dams at some genitourinary (GUM) and sexual health clinics, some contraception services, through mail order, or pharmacies may order them for you. They are available in different flavours.

How to use a dam

• Cover the genital area (vulva, vagina or anus) with the dam before there is any contact with the mouth.
• Hold it in place during oral sex.
• It doesn’t matter which side you put against the vulva or anus, but do not turn the dam over once you’ve started using it.
• Don’t move a dam from the anus to the vulva because bacteria that are harmless in the anus can cause infection in the vagina.
• Do not use oil-based lubricants, such as moisturiser, with latex products as this can damage them. You can use water-based lubricants with latex dams, and it is safe to use oil-based lubricants with polyurethane dams.
• Use a new one each time you have oral sex.
• Never re-use a dam.
• Dams cannot be used for penetrative sex.

If you don’t have a dam, you can make one out of a condem.

More important:

Avoid brushing or flossing your teeth shortly before or after giving someone oral sex, as this can cause bleeding in the mouth.

What You Should Know About Dental Braces

When you have teeth strucuture problems, the first thing came to your mind might be:

Wearing a dental braces.  How much do you learn about dental braces and can you say some tips you should follow to get a better treatment? 

Medical Statistics say that in nearly 50 per cent of people, teeth are irregular, crooked or not aligned. With advances in the field of dentistry, particularly in the branch of orthodontics which deals with correction of irregularities in the teeth and jaws, the treatment of such teeth is not difficult. Straightening of irregular teeth in the past was limited to the use of removable plates with ugly looking steel wires and the treatment was almost always a compromised one and too lengthy and painful.

Modern techniques are simple and painless and the treatment can be carried out in individuals of all age groups starting right form the age of three to four years and as late as 30-40 years, though the earlier the treatment is carried out, the better it is.

These days, there are a number of choices available regarding the type of braces to be chosen. These are different techniques and braces available nowadays, including the new tooth colored invisible braces and visible metal braces. Newer types of braces are further divided into:

1. Ceramic braces
2. Invasalign braces
3. Lingual braces
4. Metal braces

Ceramic Braces: Ceramic braces are made of tooth colored composite materials. They are strong and generally don’t stain. Adults like to choose ceramic because they ‘blend in and match’ with the natural teeth and are less noticeable to outsiders than metal braces. These are the type of braces Tom Curise had. The advantages are that they are virtually invisible, more comfortable and irritate gums less than the metal braces, but are more expensive and may require some extra sittings.

Invasalign Braces: Great for people who do not have severe problems. The braces consist of strong plastic trays that are fabricated especially on individual basis. They are indeed invisible. One can get the teeth straightened without anyone seeing that one is wearing braces. Trays for treatment are computer fabricated by align technologies. They are absolutely invisible to the outsiders.

Lingual Braces: These are placed behind the teeth rather than the usual front portion of the teeth and are virtually invisible to others. Only few specially trained professional orthodontists carry out treatment with lingual braces.

Metal Braces: Used for traditional orthodontics treatment. These are very strong and can withstand most types of treatment. At first, they may irritate the gums, but after a few weeks, get settled. Though less expensive, these are more noticeable than other types.

And now few tips you should follow to get best out of whichever treatment you choose to take up:
1. Avoid fizzy drinks
2. Chew your food
3. Don’t take drugs
4. Quit smoking
5. Stay away from Bleaching
6. Stop Biting nails

The Best Way To Save BIG Major Dental Care

People fear much when their teeth got hurt, besides sharp pain, the top thing they fear is the cost.  In fact, getting your dentures replaced won’t cost much.

I want to take a few minutes explain to you how inexpensive it can actually be. You see, many people are obsessed with the thought that dental insurance is the “end all” when it comes to getting some type of coverage for your teeth, but I’m telling you that you are way off base if this is what you think. When people think of insurance they think of car insurance, homeowners insurance, medical insurance etc. and, unfortunately, this place dental care in that same category. I’m telling you now that it’s just not that great of a deal anymore. This is not some big sales pitch, it’s just the facts. Let me explain.

Dental insurance is designed almost exclusively for preventive maintenance care. This is to cover things like cleanings, x-rays, fluoride treatments, routine checkups etc., not dentures, root canals, bridge work, oral surgery or anything major. If you are having problems with your teeth and you go and purchase a dental insurance policy today you will not be covered for whatever problems you’re having. It doesn’t work like that. Standard dental insurance policies require a six to 12 month waiting period on any condition that is considered to be pre-existing. I means that if you have a toothache you’re going to pay for the cost of getting that fixed out of your pocket until six to 12 months has past. In the meantime, you’re going to pay monthly premiums that can be very high and you’re also going to be a deductible on any other needs it you get taken care of. Are you beginning to get the picture?

The alternative that I’m talking about is called a dental discount plan. Dental discount plans are sometimes also referred to as discount dental plans. What these offer is a big discount for being a member of the plans network. This is out works. You pay a small fee to become a member of the plan, this is normally as low as $80 per year for an individual or $150 per year for an entire family. After paying your initial membership fee, you can visit any dentist within the plan network and receive substantial discounts of anywhere from 10 to 60% on everyday dental procedures. This means that if you need upper dentures and you can save up to 60% off of the cost that you usually pay. I was looking at one of the plans in the Phoenix, Arizona area recently and the usual cost for upper dentures there was $1252, but with the savings in the plan the cost was only around $700 actually . That’s a savings of over $500 just on this one procedure alone. This example is only for one area and the savings could be more or less, depending on the area that you happen to live in.

With dental discount plans pre-existing conditions are not a problem, there are no exclusions, no limitations and no age limits. The only thing that you need to do is pay the discounted fee at the time that you see the dentist, that’s all. You get a substantial discount off of your dental work and your dentist gets paid cash on the spot. This is a “win-win” situation for both you and your dentist. If you are in need of dental work, especially something major like dentures, as in the example explained above, a highly recommend that you take a look and dental discount plans.

Which is much painful, Regular Dental check or Toothache

Did someone told you that it’s better to visit your dentist regularly?

Why? You may ask.

Many people are been told to visit dentist on a regular basis, but anyhow the full reason is not forever explained. As many people have a deep fear on visiting dentist, it helps to know why it is important to go to any dentist on an occasional basis. It might also give confidence otherwise nervous individuals to make a dental appointment. According to American Dental Association, everybody should visit a dentist twice a year for cleaning and checkup, and some individuals might also require to visit more often, if they are know at a risk. If you have not been visited dentist in last six month, you must probably make an appointment to visit now.

The first basis to go to any dentist is to maintain your teeth in first-rate health condition. During a tooth cleaning session, a dental hygienist could be much more in profundity than you could at your home. The dentist has dedicated tools that is intended to take away plaque and tarter while cleaning all about the tooth. The dental care hygienist could as well provide tips and a proposal for upholding your teeth fit, and would usually tells the doctor how the sessions go, so that he or she could properly address detailed issues.

Most dental care problems do not turn out to be sore or observable until they are extremely advanced. Unfortunately, dental issues are more often than not permanent, meaning that a very aching tooth would have to be drilled or removed. By going to the dentist on a regular basis, you could keep an eye on your teeth with the assist of dental x-rays and a substantial examination. The dentist could certainly make out areas of possible danger and head off main dental problems at the pass. A dentist could too spot require for gum grafts, braces, or any other procedures to defend the dental health of your mouth. If you visit dentist on a regular basis, you would surely shun elevated risk dental infections. Not only are cavities tender, they are also potentially very hazardous for you. If you do not visit to the dentist, you might as well experience serious dental health problems down the line.

Why Children Should Have Dental Care

  Nearly all children like sweets and chocolates, but they don’t know what dental care is, and most parents neglect it too, untill their’s teeth hurt, then the parents have to take them to hospitals.

  In fact, around the world the major percentage of the dental patients are the children, which is very unfortunate. Basically, the children have the great attractions towards the sweets and the chocolates. In general, most of the children are not willing to brush their teeth at all. So let me tell you some of the important facts about the oral hygiene and the dental care.

** A toothbrush is able to eradicate the ‘plaque bacteria’, which can cause the tooth decay. One thing should be noted that the toothbrush should be of small head and soft-bristled that are specially designed for the babies. You should use the brush at least once (preferably after the bed-time) in a day to your child.

** It seems some people are not concerned about the importance of the baby teeth. Now one thing should be remembered that the ‘first teeth’ or the baby teeth assist the children to learn to speak clearly. Now, it also assists the children to grow the habit of natural chewing.

** Most of the children are seemed to suck their thumbs of the fingers up to a certain time. Basically, the thumb sucking is not a big deal for the children of up to two years. Now if the age of your child is more than two years and he is still sucking his thumb then it is your duty to discourage him. Thumb sucking after two years of age could create the problems in the tooth gums and it can cause the teeth of bad shape.

** If your child feels the sudden toothache then apply little hot water in that place of the tooth instead of the cold water. Now, you can use the ‘acetaminophen’ for your child. But you have to remember one thing that the ‘aspirin’ is the must-avoided material in case of the child toothache.

** To keep the oral condition of your child safe, you must give him the balanced diet. You have to give him the balanced amount of cereals, breads, milk, vegetables and most importantly the fruit. Don’t give him much amount of sugar, starch or the chocolates. These elements are really harmful for the teeth of your child.

** Use the toothpaste with fluoride to your child’s teeth while brushing. You can use the mouth guards to your children’s teeth while he is going for any sporting event.

** Now, this is going to be the most important tips for you in this article. Remember one thing that there is branch of medical science called the ‘pediatric dentistry’, which serves as the children dentistry. If your child feels any problem regarding his teeth, just go to any qualified pediatric dentist. It will be better of course, if you visit the pediatric dentist after a certain period of time.

** If your child’s teeth are of bad shape and yellowish in color, then just the field of ‘dental plans’ is here to help you out. The  dentists will shape up the teeth of child in correct manner.
