Time Spent Teeth Brushing in a Lifetime

Post by: Gerarda on 22 May 2023

 

Dental hygiene is crucial to maintaining good oral health, and teeth brushing is an essential part of our daily routine. According to statistics, an average person spends 38.5 days brushing their teeth over their lifetime. This might seem like a lot of time, but when you consider the benefits of brushing your teeth regularly, it’s time well spent.

The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends that we brush our teeth twice a day for two minutes each time. This adds up to four minutes of brushing a day, which might not seem like much, but over a lifetime, it really adds up. If we assume that people start brushing their teeth at the age of three and continue until they are 80 years old, that’s a total of 77 years or 28,105 days of brushing.

With each brushing time lasting four minutes, this means that we spend a total of 112,420 minutes or 1,874 hours brushing our teeth over a lifetime. This might seem like a lot, but when you divide it by the number of days in a year, it works out to be around 25 minutes a day, which is not too bad at all.

But why is it so important to brush our teeth regularly? Well, brushing helps to remove the plaque and bacteria that build up on our teeth throughout the day. If left untreated, this can lead to tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health problems. Regular brushing, along with flossing and regular visits to the dentist, can help to prevent these issues and keep our teeth and gums healthy.

In addition to the health benefits, regular brushing also helps to keep our breath fresh and our smiles bright. It can also help to prevent staining from coffee, tea, and red wine. Plus, taking the time to brush our teeth twice a day can help to create a sense of routine and promote good habits that extend beyond dental hygiene.

So, while it might seem like a lot of time, the 38.5 days that an average person spends brushing their teeth over their lifetime is time well spent. It’s a small price to pay for good oral health and a bright, confident smile.

If you need brushing instructions, book a dental appointment to learn how. Not everyone actually knows how to brush their teeth, so it is not as crazy as it sounds.

Successful People

Post by: Gerarda on 25 Jun 2015

Group of young multi ethnic people holding word success

Think of success and the name Zig Ziglar comes to mind. He was an expert on success, and in his book, Born to Win! Find Your Success Code, he shared the philosophy that brought him that success. It is really very simple. He suggested that you have a plan and plan to succeed. In his book he provided the strategies to do just that. But what is success?

Below, he shares a short list of the characteristics that he believed comprise success:

What Success Is:

1. Success is knowing that you did a great job when you close the door to your office at the end of each workday and head for home.

2. Success is having a home and people to love who love you in return.

3. Success is having the financial security to meet your obligations each month and the knowledge that you have provided that security for your family in the event of your demise.

4. Success is having the kind of faith that lets you know where to turn when there seems to be no place to turn.

5. Success is having an interest or hobby that gives you joy and peace.

6. Success is knowing who you are.

7. Success is taking good care of you and waking up healthy each day.

8. Success is slipping under the covers at the end of the day and realizing with gratitude that, “It just doesn’t get much better than this!”

Success means different things to different people as you can see from this list. It also involves more than one area of your life. It involves the whole person. Focus only on one area and you will limit your success.

Dental Examination

Post by: Gerarda on 20 May 2014

The importance of a dental examination cannot be understated as it is an integral part of preventive dental health care. Many dentists suggest that it is necessary to have one every 6 months but our dentist, Dr. Mikael Kahn, recommends having a dental check-up once a year, provided that you maintain good oral hygiene, meaning that you brush and floss daily. In many cases the dental examination is combined with scaling & polishing (dental cleaning).

During the dental examination Dr. Kahn will take digital x-rays, especially if it is the first time he sees a patient. Normally, two x-rays are taken on each side. If on the other hand it is an adult patient who comes regularly, x-rays might be taken  every second or even every third year, depending on the oral health of the patient. Dental x-rays are necessary to see the bone level and to be able to see whether there is any tooth decay (caries) between the teeth further back in the mouth. In the front region, a dentist can normally find caries between teeth without any dental x-rays. Appointment for the Dentist

Dr. Mikael Kahn will check your occlusion (how the upper & lower teeth fit together when you close your mouth), your TMJ (the joint which sits immediately in front of your ear) for stability or any clicking sounds and check your mouth as a whole for any abnormalities.

If you have questions about your oral health, your examination is a good time to ask.  Many patients use that time to ask about cosmetic procedures – they want new crowns or a bridge, or they might want dental implants, and therefore, want to know whether they are a good candidate for implant treatment. This is also a good time to share with Dr. Kahn if you are anxious about dental treatment as a whole or any specific part of dental treatment, so adjustments can be made appropriately.

Even if you are partially edentulous, or no longer have teeth, it is still important to have a consultation with your dentist to maintain good oral health and have your prosthesis assessed to see that they still fit well, in order to preserve the bone for as long as possible.

Once Dr. Kahn has assessed your oral health, he will discuss it with you and let you know if you have any caries (tooth decay), gingivitis or gum disease (bone loss) or any other oral health issue, and give you suggestions for what needs to be done. If you are at risk then you may need more frequent check-ups, otherwise, he will see you in a year.

Holy Week – Semana Santa 2014

Post by: Gerarda on 11 Apr 2014

Once again Easter or Semana Santa, as it is known in Spain, is upon us and tourists have flocked to the coast both for sun and relaxation, and also for the traditional Holy Week Ladies celebration of Holy Week. The processions start on Palm Sunday and conclude on Easter Sunday.

Málaga hosts the largest processions on the Coast and are very impressive with the number of thrones and the sheer number of people involved. If you park near El Corté Íngles and walk towards the Old Town you will quickly find a place to stand and watch the procession go by. The people of Benalmádena re-create some of the most significant events of the Passion and Death of Christ, while closer to us in Marbella is Istán, which also re-enacts the Passion of Christ during Holy Week.

The town of Riogordo, about 35 km from Málaga does things with a difference. As well as the traditional processions, they also have an annual live production of El Paso (The Passion) utilizing about 500 of the townsfolk as actors. They have been staging this performing since 1951 and as a result it has been designated as a Fiesta of National Tourist Interest as people come from all over the world to see it. It is held on Good Friday and Holy Saturday from 16.30 – 20.00.

Ticket prices for El Paso are: Adults: 8 € and Children and Pensioners: 5€

Tickets can be bought in advance at the following locations:

Riogordo Town Hall, Plaza de la Constitución, 14. Tel: 952 732 154

Rural Andalus, c/Montes de Oca, 18, (next to El Corte Ingles) Malaga, Tel: 952 276 229

Libreria Pasatiempo, Calle Infantes, 32,  Torre del Mar, Tel: 952 543 703

El Paso Box Office, El Calvario, Riogordo, from 13.30 on performance day
