DREADED DENTIST DRILL to be replaced by futuristic space-age device “PLASMA JET”!!!

DREADED DENTIST DRILL to be replaced by futuristic space-age device “PLASMA JET”!!!

My first visit to the Dentist for cleaning and filling up – HE USED THE DRILL!!!

"I felt my veins vibrating from head to foot. Or I can even say from my toe nails to my skull and brain!!!"

I still remember my visit to the Dentist back in Cochin. A small dental clinic in Vytilla Junction, Ernakulam, it had a Dental Surgeon and a junior lady Dentist. There was some cleaning up and filling to do. And the sound of that drill still lingers in me. I felt my veins vibrating from head to foot. Or I can even say from my toe nails to my skull and brain!!! Such was the impact! Many children and adults avoid Dental Clinics because of their phobia on drills. They fear drilling!

Got my Wisdom Tooth pulled out!

I also remember when one of my wisdom tooth had to be pulled out. This time it was in Plamoodu, Trivandrum. But here, the impact was a lot better. The Doctor was really cool and he made me feel really comfortable. A true professional. He did use all the required tools in order to remove my tooth, but I didn’t feel any pain because he applied that gel and injected my mouth before the surgery. Yes, the dental works had to be done for the good of my teeth. So I can’t really say that they were bad. It’s the initial cleaning and drilling experience that I still can’t forget. Of course, I’m happy I got them done though.

Traditional Dentist’s Drill being replaced by ‘Plasma Jet’...

Good news for those of you who are still scared of the Dentist Drilling Machine and totally hates that drill! In few years time there will be a Plasma Jet, a pain-free device which will eradicate tooth decay even without any fillings. While drills are used to drill holes into your tooth, the Plasma Jet will be used to fire a plasma beam of oxygen atoms at low-temperature, which are electrically-charged, into your cavities at the dentine- the fibrous tooth structure below the enamel, thus reducing the bacteria which causes decay!

Plasma Jet Overcomes Dental Bugs!!

Dr Stefan Rupf, a Main Researcher from Saarland University in Homburg, said:
"The low temperature means they can kill the microbes while preserving the tooth. The dental pulp at the centre of the tooth, underneath the dentine, is linked to the blood supply and nerves and heat damage to it must be avoided at all costs."
German researchers have tested the use of Plasma Jet and were found to be successful on Streptococcus Mutans and Lactobacillus Casei which are common dental bugs. These bugs cause teeth enamel erosion and cavity causing dentines by leaving films on the teeth surface. So now you can all happily visit the Dentist without any Drill Phobia! :)

English Composition 1. Health and Hygiene

English Composition 1. (written during school days...)


ddddddddddddddddddHealth and Hygiene


" Only in a healthy body, there exists a healthy mind!"

Not many people, today are aware of this saying. Today, the increasing number of industries, factories, automobiles, etc:- are causing pollution which are harmful to both, the evironment and human beings. Even, our own carelessness, leads us with serious complications.

Our house is the first place we can start living a hygiene life. Eating proper and healthy food also is necessary. The clothes we wear should be washed continuously after wearing. The utensils we use should be washed after every meal. Food should be thoroughly cooked before serving to eat. Fruits should be washed before eating it. Drinking water should always be boiled before drinking.

Even the place we live must be vaccumed and tidied every day. The polluted air and smoke coming from chimneys of factories and automobiles affect our lungs. This results in medication and another damage done to our body. Smoking is another main cause that affects human bodies. The smoke inhaled from cigarettes into the lungs damages it and causes lung cancer and other complications in the body. Proper diet and daily exercise is advised to all persons who want to live a healthy and hygiene life.

Beautiful memories of English Compositions written in School days

Hi!

As a student I always enojoyed my Language classes ( English, French, Malayalam and Hindi) more than Subjects (Maths, Science, Social Studies). Ha! In fact I used to love Language and hate Subjects. Probably that's why my report card also reflected those kind of marks as well. And I also had friends who were just like me.

You remember how we used to write English Compositions in school? I love that! It was so encouraging to sit in English classes. Of course there were times when it was boring but most of the time it was more of a relaxation period for me. I gave more importance to Language rather than be a good learner in other subjects. And writing an English Composition was always an exciting task for me. These essays which I wrote were either original or sometimes had some lines pulled from the newspapers or magazines. But that was done only at the last minute if the topic was a real boring one and I didn't have any idea what to write about.

Anyway, if you now read those things that you wrote during school days, you can actually see how childish you were. It also shows our innocence on certain matters as well. But most of all, it would really show us that there were some special topics or lines we wrote from our heart. These special things were about our favourite toy, or family member, or cartoon, or hobby or something like that. But even though we now read it and say out that "Oh, I wrote it when I was a kid. How childish isn't it!", we realise that deep down we still have a small craze for that particular toy, or person or memorable moment. We may not admit it because we are now "mature and grown up" but still we know that those things are special for us and we know we just can't throw it away or forget about it even if we try to. Because what has made us happy and struck our heart at childhood will always remain there as wonderful memories.

Well, just thought of sharing few compositions I wrote in school:

English Compositions:

1. Health and Hygiene
2. My Favourite Hero
3. Co- Educational System in Schools
4. Drug Addiction
5. Moral Instructions in School

Do you want to hear about the FOOD FEEDBACK?

Hi,

Thank you for the offer. As requested, here is my feedback:


1. French Fries: Well, the stuff was very dark brown in color (meaning it was fried more than normal). Also the oil from it was so fresh n full that had we drained it out, we would have so much oil with us that we could have started our own fast food joint. So I think it should be called Indian Fries and not French Fries and hence I really don’t think that our guests from the UK would have enjoyed it.

2. Potato Chips: There were two types of chips- one was normal and without masala while the other one had the ‘Chilly Factor’ (Masala flavor)! The common factor among both was not the ‘Crisp Factor’ but the ‘Chill factor’ (cold and soft)! Probably it was crispy after its preparation, but by the time it got here, climate must have taken over thus transforming them to wet and soggy chips. Anyway, though I feel that the normal type tasted better in my mouth, I still don’t feel that it would taste good in their mouths.

3. Garlic Bread: I have heard of the Gingerbread Man taking over the city in comics and cartoons, but today I realized that the Garlic bread Man is the number one competition to the Gingerbread Man, because he just took over my appetite in one bite! And I don’t think that our guests from UK prefer anyone taking over their appetite. So this is also a definite ‘NO’!

4. VEGETABLE SANDWICHES: Again two types of sandwiches existed here. The Normal and the Grilled. The normal one made me feel really normal, and I don’t wanna make my guests feel normal you know- not good hospitality! But at the end of the day, the grilled sandwich was a lifesaver! It tasted okay and had good amount of cheese as well.


SUGGESTIONS:


1. Burgers are a very good option.
2. Sausages to keep them going strong.
3. Olive pickle to tickle their taste buds.
4. And fresh fruit salad (fresh implying no brown color fruit pieces!)to keep a smile on their face!



Looking forward to more food testing in future!


Thanks and regards,
Sunny
