Gout

What is gout? What is hyperuricemia?

Gout is a disease that results from an overload of uric acid in the body. This overload of uric acid leads to the kidney stones (nephrolithiasis).

formation of tiny crystals of urate that deposit in tissues of the body, especially the joints. When crystals form in the joints, it causes recurring attacks of joint inflammation (arthritis). Gout is considered a chronic and progressive disease. Chronic gout can also lead to deposits of hard lumps of uric acid in the tissues, particularly in and around the joints and may cause joint destruction, decreased kidney function, and

Gout has the unique distinction of being one of the most frequently recorded medical illnesses throughout history. It is often related to an inherited abnormality in the body's ability to process uric acid. Uric acid is a breakdown product of purines that are part of many foods we eat. An abnormality in handling uric acid can cause attacks of painful arthritis (gout attack), kidney stones, and blockage of the kidney-filtering tubules with uric acid crystals, leading to kidney failure. On the other hand, some people may only develop elevated blood uric acid levels (hyperuricemia) without having manifestations of gout, such as arthritis or kidney problems. The state of elevated levels of uric acid in the blood without symptoms is referred to as asymptomatic hyperuricemia. Asymptomatic hyperuricemia is considered a precursor state to the development of gout. The term gout refers the disease that is caused by an overload of uric acid in the body, resulting in painful arthritic attacks and deposits of lumps of uric acid crystals in body tissues.

Gouty arthritis is typically an extremely painful attack with a rapid onset of joint inflammation. The joint inflammation is precipitated by deposits of uric acid crystals in the joint fluid (synovial fluid) and joint lining (synovial lining). Intense joint inflammation occurs as the immune system reacts, causing white blood cells to engulf the uric acid crystals and chemical messengers of inflammation to be released, leading to pain, heat, and redness of the joint tissues. As gout progresses, the attacks of gouty arthritis typically occur more frequently and often in additional joints.

Dental Challenges and Solutions

Dental issues have become quite an occurrence these days. Though looks a very small piece, there's a lot of activity which happens in the mouth. Most of the dental issues can be attributed to the lifestyle, food habits and lack of personal hygiene. A lot of them can be avoided by following some basic hygienic practices recommended by majority of the dentists.

Frequently occurring dental problems include Cavities, yellow teeth, Bad Breath, Sensitive Teeth, Wisdom Teeth and gum diseases to name a few with plague being the major culprit behind majority of them listed. Plague is a breeding ground for bacteria and can lead to many other dental disorders. Many foods that are rich in sugar, along with fizzy drinks, candy and carbohydrates, contribute to plaque. Such foods often make the mouthwash ineffective. Periodontitis, an infection of the gums caused by the bacteria in plaque, is also likely to occur due to wrong brushing technique. If left untreated, the infection will rot the tissue in the gums and destroy the bones around the teeth, eventually facing (total) tooth loss and needing bone grafting to restore oral health with full dentures, over denture or partials.

Sensitive teeth are fast becoming the major concern for many people. Usually dental problems caused due to cavities or abscessed tooth, often sting when exposed to hot or very cold foods and liquids. Exposed nerve roots often from receding gums are also a cause for sensitive teeth. Sensitive teeth can be avoided by using a specialized tooth paste as suggested by your dentist. Cavities, caused by bacteria in the mouth left alone, feed on sugar and starch remnants left on or between the teeth and are very difficult to reach through brushing and flossing. Cavities are usually seen in kids and good oral hygiene is your best bet to prevent them from occurring.

A wisdom tooth, the occurrence of which has to do more with the jaw spacing usually forms when you don't have enough space in your jaw. If there's an enough space, the jaw comes in nicely and you can keep them forever. For some, there isn't enough room, which means they'll only come in, or "erupt" only partially.Bacteria are able to enter the soft tissue around the partially-erupted tooth and reside deep in the gums where the tooth is stuck. Eventually, most people develop an infection in the jaw bone around the wisdom tooth, or in many cases a cyst will form around the impacted wisdom tooth. Painful, impacted wisdom teeth are usually removed through surgery. Yellow teeth usually caused by foods and beverages we consume can be easily treated with over the counter options, laser whitening etc.

The American Dental Association recommends brushing your teeth, thoroughly, twice a day. A morning tongue scrapping plays a major role in oral health along with flossing. Most dental diseases are caused from poor oral hygiene and can be easily cured by taking good care of your teeth and regular visits to the dentist.
