ABSOLUTE LIFE COACHING The Voice of Reason by Terrina Clifton-Moore and Georgina Paget Absolute Brighton Coaching “My ill health is preventing me from realising my goals…” Joanne, Brighton It is sometimes easy to set ambitious goals in our lives, and there will be times when maybe, through no fault of your own, you are pulled off track. The loss of motivation or interest is a recognised side effect of someone who is failing to live up to their own expectations. Some goals that people set themselves can either be unrealistic, or unwieldy in time. It’s good to have long term dreams and aspirations, hopes and wishes, but if things don’t go to plan a sense of ‘not achieving’ can quickly set in. To avoid this from happening, set yourself shorter term, smaller and more easily achievable goals. It is very important for our everyday sense of well being that we feel in ourselves that we are achieving in some small but positive way. There will be times when each and every one of us will be reminded how precious and delicate life is. When mitigating circumstances arise, such as a family member or close friend contracting a lifethreatening illness, with the prospect of a solitary and uphill battle to survive, for that person every dawning day and every fading sunset takes on a new and enhanced meaning. By setting themselves tiny and achievable goals, they may start to see small but important Restylane for revitalised looks www.restylane.co.uk Maintaining the skin’s vitality becomes more of a challenge as we grow older and healthy, toned, skin free from niggling lines is hard to achieve.

MAGIC MOUTHWASH t is a truth universally acknowledged that “Ievery person in possession of a mouth to care for, must be looking for the magic mouthwash.” (Apologies to Jane Austen). The marketing people would have you believe this wonderful product will provide protection from plaque, strengthen enamel and provide you with social confi dence, as well as remove stains and generally give you fi lm star looks, all by taking this magic liquid and swishing it around your mouth. However, like education, if something is that easy it does not usually give you what you would like. I would not go so far as to say it is a confi dence trick, because in some circumstances a mouthwash can be both useful and benefi cial but only in a very limited way, and certainly not the panacea that advertising might lead you to think. So what can a mouthwash do for you? It can be a useful vehicle for some very useful additives. For instance, enamel that is under constant acid attack either from the diet or deposits of plaque, can be strengthened by a mouthwash containing fl uoride. Of these there are several on the market that are very helpful. The best of these are not easy to obtain out of the dental surgery. Duraphat is one of those, a Colgate product that is a very effective desensitiser while also giving greater protection to the enamel. One that is more common in chemists is called Fluorigard, a pleasant and easy-to-tolerate mouthwash, particularly useful for children over the age of six. But no fl uoridecontaining mouthwash will be a substitute for effective mechanical plaque control. That is, using your toothbrush and interdental cleaners in a way that is effective in your mouth. Another useful additive is Chlorhexidine. This is a very effective short term treatment for Gingivitis. Short term because used in many forms it will cease to be useful after a few weeks. Like all treatments that work using an antibiotic effect, the bugs get wise to the effects. The most common mouthwash that contains Chlorhexidine is called Corsodyl, and while this will certainly help in the short term, it will also cause a brown stain that is often diffi cult to remove and very disfi guring. There are, however, other professionally available mouthwashes that contain Sandy Bone, dental hygienist at Marina Dentalcare, looks at some of the myths and truths about mouthwash Chlorhexidine in a different formula that, while not losing the ability to be an effective treatment, do not cause this staining. They are called Curasept and there are several formulations. There are now also some mouthwashes that contain essential oils known to have therapeutic properties. Aloe Vera is added to some products which is known to have a soothing and healing effect. For patients that are experiencing problems with Dry Mouth Syndrome there are also mouthwashes that will help to replace some of the missing enzymes that occur with that condition. However, very importantly, an additive that is deliberately missing in all of the mouthwashes that are often recommended by the profession, is alcohol. Alcohol Alcohol is added to almost all of the mouthwashes “...no fl uoride-containing mouthwash will be a substitute for effective mechanical plaque control” that do not specifi cally say it is not added. This is because it lengthens the shelf life of the product. It is more about capitalism than it is about dental health! Alcohol not only does nothing for the health of your mouth, there is evidence that it is positively undesirable. It may be mentioned in the ingredients under a different name but Ethanol etc is still alcohol. It will sting and is extremely drying to your gums etc, these are all tissues that needs to stay wet to remain healthy. So if you are looking for a mouthwash always check the ingredients and make sure that there is no alcohol derivutive. E.g. Alcohol Free Fluorigard, Curasept 220, BioXtra. It is useful to note that virtually all mouth problems will start by allowing plaque to remain undisturbed in an area of the mouth. It is also useful to note that a mouthwash will leave any plaque that it encounters undisturbed. The highly effective Chlorhexidine rinses do not remove plaque. They work by preventing the normal life cycle of the ABSOLUTE DENTAL bacteria. It is tempting to think that by doing the swishing action, the plaque will be washed away. Not so. The bacteria that make up the bio fi lm that we call plaque have had way to many years in their evolution to be disturbed by a little liquid washing over their heads! Plaque is a very sticky substance which will adhere as if its life depends upon it to the tooth surface. It is this form of advertising that, while attractive to look at, also tends to offer the magic bullet effect. Frequently the stinging is caused by the alcohol and is not some magic additive doing its deadly work to the bacteria. The taste of most mouthwashes is just that, taste. The additives that produce the taste are not effective at preventing others from smelling anything else that may be on exhaled air and even if they are it is only for a matter of minutes. Halitosis is prevented in the main by preventing the bacteria that cause the nasty niffs from living in your mouth. I am afraid that we are back to the old chestnut of interdental cleaning as it is in the interdental spaces that these bugs tend to live, especially if they have not been disturbed for a day or two. However, there is a mouthwash that contains a type of Chlorine Dioxide that will mask the smell for a short while as it forms a chemical bond with the sulphur compounds that these unpleasant bugs excrete. It is called Retardex and will help on a temporary basis. Only a very temporary magic bullet though, I am afraid, but then how effective could something be that is mainly water, if placed in the mouth and moved about a bit for less than a minute? However, being human we are so keen to embrace the easy option that it is always easier to sell the idea of a magic mouthwash than sell the idea of boring daily interdental cleaning with fl oss or better still interdental brushes. Interdental cleaning has never been the subject of intense advertising. Mouthwash has. No magic, quite boring, but wonderfully effective and the money saved on silver bullets might be useful to spend in ways that you can really enjoy!!
