LDL cholesterol sometimes is called âbadâ cholesterol. A high LDL level leads to a buildup of cholesterol in your arteries. (Arteries are blood vessels that carry blood from your heart to your body.) HDL cholesterol sometimes is called âgoodâ cholesterol. This is because it carries cholesterol from other parts of your body back to your liver.
Spacers are usually used to put spaces in between teeth before braces are established. It can be agitating or painful, but patients are often warned not to pick at them or they will fall out. They are usually rubber, but sometimes they can be metal. They can be used when a patient's teeth are too close together.
A gentle scraping at the side of the tooth helps in cleaning. It is generally wrapped around the teeth, than an up and down motion is followed for removing plaque. A Dental tape can be referred to as just a wider form of dental floss. It is more flattened and wider than a usual normal dental floss. It is used on the interproximal surfaces of the teeth. One must be careful not to ruin or damage the interdental papilla while using the dental tape. A dental tape works the same way as a floss works. The main difference remains to be the thickness of dental tape which is essentially thicker than a dental floss. Dental tape is more suitable to be used for those teeth which are spaced far apart. Due to its wide edges, it is able to reach between larger gaps.
