The Benefits Of Oral Irrigation

Oral irrigators may not be as widespread as the other forms of regular dental hygiene. However, it is surprising that they aren’t, as the dental benefits they offer are extraordinary. An oral irrigator uses pulsating water to remove plague and food debris from below the gums and also between teeth. The oral irrigator was first developer almost 50 years ago, by a dentist and engineer duo. They have been the subject fir almost 50 scientific studies since that time, and have been thoroughly proven to be effective on people in periodontal maintenance. They are strongly effective at combating bleeding and gingivitis, if you suffer with any of these problems, we highly recommend investing in one.

Oral irrigation was originally suggested for users who didn't floss, however now many dental professionals see it as a imperative part of good oral hygiene.

Before substantiated research, many thought that irrigation was forced bacteria into the tissues (this was never proven) however the safety of irrigation has been proven numerously in scientific studies. 

You may have already experienced oral irrigation without your knowledge, as home oral irrigators are basically a smaller less powerful tool than the jets used by your dentist.

The Rise Of The Defibrillators

The campaign for defibrillators to be placed in public places has gripped the public up and down the nation recently. The Mail launched the campaign after a 64 year old suffered a cardiac arrest whilst leaving the gym. For one of the campaigners June Thomas, this campaign is close to the heart. Her son Jack, died suddenly at the age of 15, and she has described defibrillators as ‘life saving equipment’

During an interview with BBC Radio Wales, Ms Thomas stated: "You've got laws in Wales that you have to have a fire extinguisher but you haven't got a law to have a defib.”

"You've got more chance of somebody having a heart attack than the building catching on fire."

It isn’t only Wales where the campaign is captivating the public and businesses alike. Wendover Parish Council currently has a planning application underway to turn an old phone box into one of the life saving machines, and a Hampshire business has donated a defibrillator to one of the local schools, many are hoping that these small steps will help in the long run and to boost the campaign even further.

The campaign has been publicly been backed by the former footballer Fabrice Muamba, MPS in the Burton and South Derbyshire area have voiced their agreements, as well as a host of schools and gyms.

Hopefully with all this public support, more and more people will realise how vital it is to get this system in place for the safety of everyone. If the campaign continues the way it is going, then we hope that defibrillators could become as common place as fire extinguishers are.

The Evolution Of Hair Removal

It is often believed that hair removal methods have been around since 4000 B.C, however, with no easy way to remove hair in those times, far more dangerous methods were used - such as arsenic and quicklime (ouch!) Luckily for us, we have now invented many more safer and convenient methods to become silky smooth.

Bodyhair removal is heavily ingrained into our society, and is now a regular part of the majority of fashion conscious women beauty routines. With shaving, waxing, hair removal cream and even hair lightening services, it can be difficult to know what is right for your body. However, one of the most popular hair removal methods of the 21st century is epilating.

If you've ever found yourself with little time to get ready, and then suddenly remembered you need to shave your legs then epilating is your. It's quick, no water is needed, and it's easy to carry around.

Epilating has become a firm favourite with consumers up and down the country due to its many benefits. It has been dubbed a semi permanent hair removal treatment, as unlike shaving, studies have shown that because epliating pulls out the hair at the root, over an extended period of use, the root stops producing hairs, and the hairs that do reproduce often regrow back much thinner than before. On average, an epilator lasts around 6 years, this means great value for money, as well as an easy and effective hair removal method.

So, if you're looking to find a new way to maximise your beauty routine then look no further!
