A lot of people are scared to go to the dentist as they are frightened of the pain and discomfort that comes with procedures, but having laser dentistry can cut down on that fear somewhat as they offer a minimally invasive option to a whole host of procedures.

Specialized dental lasers can whiten the teeth, reshape gums, remove overgrown tissue from mouth areas, remove canker sores and gum inflammation, help with gum diseases, and can help to expose wisdom teeth. They can also be used for biopsies, removing tissue from the throat, and they can erradicate root canal infection and be used for regenerating damaged nerves as well.

So why would a dentist go with a laser over the traditional method? Well, it’s simple, a laser is less likely to damage your gums, you need less healing time after the visit and you typically lose less blood than you would

Most people who have a fear of swimming or a fear of open water have had some sort of traumatic experience involving water. These experiences can be as simple as being unexpectedly pushed in a pool at a park, to something as shocking as losing a loved one to a water-related accident. For other people, the fear of what lurks in open water, like sharks, is enough to cause a deep-seated fear.

Hypnosis works to eliminate these phobias or fears because it works with the subconscious, where all major and minor memories are stored in your mind. These memories directly influence how you think and act today. What is worse is that sometimes the subconscious amplifies or exaggerates the memories stored there, making how you feel today even more dire.

When you work with a certified hypnotist, you will be able to identify the exact cause of your fears, and

• Before: Don’t drink coffee, tea and milk. Coffee & tea takes the moisture off your body, which will also dry off your vocal folds (cords). Milk creates phlegm. Drink warm water.
• During: Learn the correct way of breathing, i.e. to breathe with the support of your diaphragm, and power up your voice through resonance. In this way, you can talk as long as you want!
• After: If you have lost your voice, do not talk, especially whisper (it adds more pressure on your vocal folds). Drink more water. Take a steam bath if possible. Or breathe in the vapour from a cup of hot water. It’ll help relieve the immediate surface wear-and-tear on the edges of your vocal folds.

A large part of stuttering can be traced to how we think about our speech and how we think about ourselves. There are in fact many reasons why individuals stutter. That is why for some individual’s speech therapy works and for others it does not work.

A large part of having a stuttering problem means that you are unable to express yourself. This will create social challenges that most individuals will never have to do deal with. Many times people who stutter will just avoid certain words and this will cause them to avoid other words. A large part of overcoming stuttering is overcoming the

Why are skin rashes so common place? Why do more and more people suffer from skin conditions? Modern medicine is well developed, yet still there is no satisfactory explanation and no real ‘cure’ for these troublesome and painful conditions.

The more I read and research health and wellness, skin conditions and their probable causes, the clearer the link has become in my mind. In the olden days our cleaning products were made of hot water and soap, or bicarb and vinegar, or just plain old elbow grease. Our bathroom cupboard was not full of hundreds of different products housed in plastic bottles and tubs, and our clothes were washed in nothing more than boiling water.

Fast forward to the 21st century. Now for most of us, our morning routine alone means we start each day by applying multiple products to our hair and skin. We vigorously and vigilantly scour our
