Your Dentist, Your Friend

An aversion to dental check-ups is common, but avoiding them can lead to a lifetime of poor oral health. Building a positive and lasting relationship is the key to turning things around, says Prof Seow Liang Lin, Dean, School of Dentistry of IMU University. Everyone knows they should get their teeth checked at least once a year, but how many do? After all, if it doesn’t hurt, there’s really no need is there? Prof Seow Liang Lin Sadly, too many people feel this way, which allows small problems to escalate into bigger issues. At the end of the day, by the time most adults drag their feet to the dentists, they are in considerable pain or having functional issues, and the problem requires more extensive corrective action, which usually results in more pain and higher costs. Besides dental decay, gum disease is also prevalent among adults as well as older persons, leading to loosening of teeth and eventual tooth loss. This further reinforces the perception that visits to the dentists are u...

Break The Chain Of Viral Hepatitis

Many people do not realise that the hepatitis virus can cause chronic liver disease and even lead to liver cancer. This World Hepatitis Day, Dr Chua Siew Houy highlights what Malaysians need to know to break the chain of infection. When it comes to one’s health and prevention of disease, few people think of protecting their liver because – let’s face it – many people do not even know what this essential organ does. Dr Chua Siew Houy It may therefore come as a surprise to learn that the liver is both an organ and a gland, performing a wide range of functions to keep the body healthy. For example, it helps to clean toxins from blood and stores glycogen for energy. It also produces bile, which helps to break down proteins, carbohydrates and fats. [1] However, these important functions can be threatened by the hepatitis virus, of which there are five – hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E. Any of these can cause the liver to become inflamed. “Hepatitis A and E are usually spread when people consu...
