For those who travel frequently, part of your essentials to pack is your toiletries. This includes your dental care tools such as toothbrush, fluoride toothpaste and floss, amongst other things. However, what happens when even that isn’t enough to combat a dental emergency? In this article, we’ll be going over ways to handle dental emergencies while you travel.  TOOTHACHE TREATMENT One of the worst things to happen while travelling is a toothache. The lingering pain from a toothache can cause headaches and ruin your whole holiday. Therefore, it’s best to come prepared and have a solution beforehand. An effective temporary solution is to bring aspirin, Tylenol or your go-to painkiller. These can alleviate both your toothache and headache momentarily, until you can schedule a visit to the dentist. For those with sensitive teeth, avoid drinking beverages that are either too hot or too cold. If you’re traveling to a colder climate, it can also help by breathing strictly th...

Although the distance between Bali and Greece is about a quarter of the Earth’s circumference, Bali shares almost the same weather and pleasant atmosphere with its Mediterranean counterpart. A good amount of sun, great seafood and amazing beaches. All that’s missing is the yoghurt tahini and tzatziki sauce, and Bali might just become a member of the Mediterranean region (if only in spirit)! Luckily there are a few Mediterranean restaurants that not only complement the tropical vibe, but also offer more variety to both local and international tongues. Warung Souvlaki The name of this restaurant is clever; it’s too small to be called a restaurant, but calling it a cafe wouldn’t be accurate either. Warung translates well into the Greek word taverna from its hometown. Don’t let its size fool you however, its offers of authentic south European and Mediterranian cuisine has crowds of people flocking and waiting in line to be seated. Like its Greek cousins, tables and chairs would spill...

THE HISTORY OF FEMALE DIVERS Diving has historically had many forms, the earliest of which can be traced back to before the Roman times. Unlike the diving we know today, these dives would have been strictly limited to commercial (e.g. sponge divers) or military divers. As time progressed, ambient pressure diving was introduced. This was done through the development of diving bells in the 16th century. Throughout the 16th and 17th centuries, bell diving (diving in a capsule with air provided from the surface) was the norm. This type of diving was not only strenuous but also extremely dangerous. Thus, diving bells would not have been open for recreational use. By the 19th century, miniature diving bells that covered the diver’s head were the standard. However, the air divers were breathing was still provided by pumps at the surface. At this time diving was not only limited to military or commercial divers but also only to men. It wasn’t until 1943, one year after Jac...

Bali is a treasure trove of spectacular sea life and charming coral reefs. It’s no wonder thousands of scuba divers visit this tropical island every year. The experience of visiting the biggest aquariums in the world is no match for the authentic encounters you get in the real world. Scuba diving is an increasingly popular water activity. Although the initial investment in training and purchasing/renting equipment has become much cheaper than before, scuba diving still does not come cheap for very good reason!

Dental implants are one of the best solutions for those who want to improve their aesthetics, smile and confidence. It’s also safe and effective.  However, before going out and scheduling the procedure, it helps if you understand it, which we will be discussing in this article.  DENTAL IMPLANTS If you’re reading this, chances are you’re already considering dental implants yourself. However, for those unfamiliar with dental implants, you may be wondering – what actually are they?  In essence, a dental implant is a procedure to replace a missing or damaged tooth. You may be thinking, what is the difference between dental implants and dentures. The distinction lies in the method and application of the procedure.

PROCEDURES INVOLVED The entire dental implant procedure is done ...

If you’ve ever noticed a series of faint purple, blue or red lines on your arms or legs, they could be identifiable as spider veins. These visible veins resemble the small and thin legs of a spider, hence the name. Causes Spider veins can appear on your body due to hereditary origins (inherited from your parents), or they can appear when the valves inside the veins aren’t working properly. This valve acts as a safety mechanism to prevent the blood from flowing backwards. However, the valve can weaken or get damaged overtime, causing the blood to pool inside the vein which results in the spider veins . Removing spider veins Spider veins are not something you can remedy on your own at home. Non-invasive treatments, such as covering the vein using creams or ointments, are not going to make the spider veins disappear. A popular, and effective solution to remove spider veins is through Sclerotherapy. The doctor injects a sclerosing agent directly onto the affected vein. This t...

As with any procedure that requires a medical operation, dental implants are generally on the higher end of the pricing scale when it comes to dental treatments. Something to think about when pondering the price tag of dental implants are the materials, labor involved and the procedure itself.

Most likely, your dentist has recommended the procedure for a good reason. Whether you’re replacing a missing tooth or improving your aesthetic look, dental implants can be the permanent solution you need to regain your confidence.  A healthy, beautiful smile can make a significant difference to your c...

Kejadian yang mendadak terkadang mendesak Anda untuk mengeluarkan dana lebih besar daripada yang telah disiapkan oleh Anda.

This dive site, located in Bali, is known as the “the toilet” because of the swirling downdraft currents that occur in the area, especially in south-western parts, commonly known as the Canyon. Gili Tekepong’s strong currents earned it a reputation as Bali’s most dangerous dive site! These currents are so strong that instead of floating up naturally, the currents drag you, spiraling down, into the Lombok Strait depths. Besides these intimidating factors, the area offers some fantastic diving once you get through the current. However, don’t expect soft corals on the southern edge and the drop-off area, as the flow of the currents are just too strong for corals to develop. What you will find, however, is the defining power of the Indonesian Throughflow that flows through the Lombok Strait and around the magnificent underwater rock structure. You’ll see schools of fish passing by as they feed on rich waters, but diving here with a guide is a must. To see if its safe or not, ...

Have you ever wondered what dental crowns are made of? We often take them for granted and don’t really think about the crowns the dentists place in our teeth. To satisfy your curiosity, in this article we’ll be elaborating on the resources and materials needed to make dental crowns. Perhaps then you’ll learn to appreciate them more, and serve as a reminder to take better care of your teeth! DENTAL CROWNS Before we start, what exactly are dental crowns? As the name indicates, a dental crown is a type of “crown” or cap, that covers a damaged or diseased tooth. The fundamental purpose of a dental crown is to restore the damaged tooth to a healthy functional state. They can also help protect a weak tooth from fracturing due to an accident or impact, replace a gap caused by cavities, cover a discolored tooth or cover a dental implant.  A dental crown not only strengthens the damaged tooth, but can also improve its appearance or alignment. Its multi-purpose nature makes ...

One of the latest and cutting-edge methods is using a laser treatment known as ClearLift treatment , formerly known as Pixel Q Switch. We’ll be discussing the benefits of ClearLift in this article and, hopefully, give you insight into whether it’s the right treatment for you. What is ClearLift?

Ablative lasers on the other hand, are designed to remove layers of your skin tissue. For our readers who are not yet familiar with ClearLift, it’s a procedure th...
