A Spotlight On Critical Factors Of food quality
It is very essential for the entrepreneurs to look after the sort of food they may be serving. Nowadays there are various food safety consultants UK. Apart from this, many companies usually do not follow the rules and regulations which are associated with the HACCP food safety plan. According to this plan there are particular terms that you just work to follow as the manufacturing and output of food.
IFS certification
Falling, slipping or tripping down are some of the common mishaps faced by seniors. These accidents in washrooms cause additional injuries and disability and limit an engaged and independent lifestyle. A simple installation of a bath lift chair prevents the occurrence of fatal falls, thus assuring complete safety for your aged relative even though you may are abroad.
The growing amount of environmental contaminants and side effects raises concerns about how exactly the surroundings affects the health, safety and nutrition with the child, who is the most vulnerable person in a residential area. Several pollution factors like outdoor and indoor pollution, drinking water contaminants, pesticide and also other chemical residues in food and stuff for the house, have all produced alarming rates of untoward incidences.
Preschool children need community helpers lesson plans so that they can discover the world around them and just how various people help with it. This gives them the opportunity understand how the world works together and that each individual counts. It also teaches them about steps which can be a part of various processes. This particular lesson plan targets food safety along with the steps it will take to generate a meal. Students will watch and learn as those who be employed in the meals industry prepare food then have a face to face experience of their own.
The Food and Agriculture Protection Training Consortium (FAPTC), includes eight university-based training centers along with the International Food Protection Training Institute. It is focused on developing and delivering food protection training primarily to U.S. government regulatory officials on the federal, state, local, tribal and territorial levels in addition to others to blame for the safety with the U.S. food supply, like industry, vacation auditors, and regulatory officials abroad.

Major Moons
We have completed reconnaissance missions to all eight of the planets, and will soon perform surveys of two dwarf planets, Ceres and Pluto. Among the most compelling targets for future flagship missions are the solar system's moons. Can we use Phobos as a base from which to tele-operate Mars missions? Is there prebiotic chemistry or even life within the buried oceans of Europa, Ganymede, or Enceladus, or in the methane-ethane rivers and lakes on Titan? What could we learn about the Kuiper belt by studying Neptune's captured moon Triton? What could human explorers do on our own Moon using technology developed over the last 40 years?
These questions drive interest in future missions among scientists, but it's an uphill battle to sell decisionmakers on the value of expensive missions to objects that are "only" moons. For us to capitalize on the successes of our reconnaissance missions, it is essential to educate the public about the reasons that other worlds' moons are so exciting, and that they are worlds every bit as worthy of study as the planets.

I don't think anyone was prepared for the beauty -- or the instant scientific discoveries -- in this "lookback" image of Pluto, captured by New Horizons shortly after it flew by.
Latest New Horizons picture of Charon: oddly familiar
Posted by Emily Lakdawalla on 2015/07/16 02:45 CDT | 14 comments
The New Horizons team released one more picture from Tuesday's encounter, one of three high-resolution images from a mosaic that crossed the center of Charon's disk, and it took me a while to figure out what it reminded me of.
First look at New Horizons' Pluto and Charon images: "baffling in a very interesting and wonderful way"

Today's press briefing at the Applied Physics Laboratory in California was preceded by hours of New Horizons team members cryptically dropping hints on Twitter at astonishing details in the seven images downlinked since the flyby. The images are, in fact, astonishing, as well as beautiful, surprising, and puzzling.
NASA Goes First Class for Europa

Over the last several years, engineers at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Applied Physics Laboratory have rethought the entire approach to exploring Europa. NASA now has a concept that's affordable.
Why We Don't Know When the Europa Mission Will Launch
Posted by Casey Dreier on 2015/05/27 01:32 CDT | 12 comments
NASA has been vague about when the new mission to Europa will launch. There's a reason for that, and it's not just orbital mechanics.
Here Are the Science Instruments NASA Will Use to Explore Europa
Posted by Casey Dreier on 2015/05/26 01:01 CDT | 8 comments
NASA just announced the science instruments that will be used to understand the enigmatic ocean moon of Europa. The mission is planned to launch sometime in the early 2020s.

From Expert Student to Novice Professional
Students entering higher education expect that their studies should lead them towards some form of professional career. They come to university with a range of expectations for their learning as well as for the outcomes of their learning. In this age, where complex internationalised professions are the main source of work for graduates, students need to prepare themselves for a future that can be volatile, changeable and challenging. In this book we show how students navigate their way through learning and become effective students and how they shift the focus of their learning away from the formalism associated with the university situation towards the exigencies of working life. In this sense we explore how people move from being expert students to novice professionals.

Exhaust Gas
Langh Ship Scrubber Receives Class Approval
Langh Ship received on July 17, 2014 final class approval from Germanischer Lloyd for its exhaust gas cleaning system on m/s Laura, a 1996-built a 6,500 DWT general cargo vessel equipped with a 6 MW main engine. "The technology had already been accepted earlier, but now the documentation is also finalized," said Reino Verosaari, Senior Technical Adviser. "In a way, this is like crossing the finish line." Langh Ship is a shipping company that has developed its own closed loop scrubber. The system uses caustic soda to neutralize the SOx in the exhaust gas and cleans the process water so that it can be led to the sea. The residual is collected in such a dry form that the compact waste can be transported to the nearest waste treatment plant. The scrubber was recently made available also to other shipping companies through DeltaLangh Ltd, a joint venture company owned by Deltamarin Ltd and Oy Langh Tech Ab, which is part of the Langh companies. Deltamarin provides engineering and consulting services for the shipping, shipbuilding, naval, marine and offshore industries worldwide. "DeltaLangh has already begun installing similar exhaust gas cleaning systems on our other four vessels. The installations are expected to be fully operational on January 1, 2015, when the new regulation comes into force," said Commercial Manager Laura Langh-Lagerlöf, who herself has been actively involved in the development process.

Has George Osborne completely forgotten the banking crisis, or has it just slipped his mind? In an interview on Radio 4 this morning he spoke of his excitement at the new products the financial services industry may invent to sell to people who will soon get access to their pension pots.
The hundreds of thousands of public sector workers who joined marches, pickets lines and rallies across England and Wales on 10 July have cast into sharp relief the attitudes of those who would divide us, those who cannot see past their own narrow interests and those who have – to varying degrees – an awareness of the qualities of interrelation, solidarity and the common good which are integral to the civilised functioning of complex modern societies.
The budget announced by UK chancellor George Osborne has been widely reported as appealing to pensioners and savers. Some measures, such as pensioner bonds, will indeed help sizeable numbers of older people. Yet for many people over retirement age, it is will not be good news overall.

I think CBS want to strike while the iron is hot, considering TNG remastered is selling so well and STXII is coming out next summer. ENT is something they could whip up very quickly in HD unlike DS9 or VOY.
I know what their thought process is, the same as Paramount's was back in the mid-90's. But with a film, a video game, three seasons of TNG and one of

I don't know if Mitt Romney would be a bad president but he definitely would not be a great president, and here is why. He is not trustworthy. I don't actually know whether he is or not, but my brain tells me he is not trustworthy because his movements (body language) are incongruent with what he says.
Since language evolved quite recently in human evolution, our main method to communicate with one another is through our movements. When it was vital to survival how did we know whether a person coming toward us was friend or foe, and whether to run or fight? We learned it by observing expressions, postures, movements and so on. This is still true today. The charismatic person is the one whose movements are congruent with what they say. That is the person we can trust, believe in, follow and is our friend. When movements are incongruent with what we say it is disturbing, threatening and we viscerally feel fear and distrust.
What is wrong with Mitt Romney's movements that I find so incongruent? He has learned to present a masking expression, regardless of what is being said to him or what he is saying.
In this exchange Newt Gingrich is eviscerating Romney for being the CEO of Bain Capital when it oversaw outsourcing of thousands of jobs, yet by his expression you would think they were having a love fest. There are a few indicators that let you know Romney's expression does not add up:
- His shoulders are rigid
- His mouth and jaw are rigidly fixed
- His eyes are not soft
Movements are highly nuanced because we have learned that we can mask them somewhat to 'fool' others less astute at reading 'real' intentions. The astute and observant person is the one that sees through the mask to the real intention and the less astute likely did not survive. As language evolved we have become disconnected with what it feels like to move within ourselves and consequently less able to determine the real intention of others through their movements. Yet when the incongruence between movements and language are so great the feeling of distrust can emerge in spite of our disconnect.
If Romney's expression had been more like this during his exchange with Newt Gingrich at least I would be more prepared to listen to what he had to say. By masking his movements he becomes uncharismatic, untrustworthy and suspicious all in the space of a few milliseconds because that is how fast our brain determines whether someone is a friend or foe or whether we should run or fight.
The master at creating congruence with what he says and his movements is Bill Clinton. Olivia Fox Cabane , author of ' The Charisma Myth ' tells a great story of Republican's who hated Bill Clinton before and after they met him, but during their meeting with him they loved him!
I will leave you with this video of Mitt having a heated exchange with Rick Perry and see what you notice about the movements of both men, and in which would you put more trust?

Etizolam has a relatively fast onset of action and symptomatic relief. 1 - 2 mg of Etizolam is of similar potency to 10mg Diazepam. For anxiety disorders associated with depression, 1 mg can be administered several times over the course of a day. Smaller doses may alleviate symptoms of panic, and it can be used before bed for relief of insomnia.

ChemistryEtizolam is a structural relative of benzodiazepines, where by the benzene ring has been replaced by a thiophene ring, classifying it as a thienodiazepine. It is classed as a research chemical.
PharmacologyBenzodiazepines produce a variety of effects by binding to the benzodiazepine receptor site and magnifying the efficiency and effects of the neurotransmitter gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) by acting on its receptors.[1] As this site is the most prolific inhibitory receptor within the brain its modulation results in the sedating (or calming effects) of etizolam on the nervous system.
Subjective effectsThe effects listed below are based upon the subjective effects index and personal experiences of PsychonautWiki contributors. The listed effects will rarely if ever occur all at once but heavier dosages will increase the chances and are more likely to induce a full range of effects.
Physical EffectsThe physical effects of Etizolam can be broken down into 5 components all of which progressively intensify proportional to dosage. These are described below and generally include:
- Sedation - In terms of energy level alterations, Etizolam is extremely sedating and often results in an overwhelmingly lethargic state. At higher levels, this causes users to suddenly feel as if they are extremely sleep deprived and have not slept for days, forcing them to sit down and generally feel as if they are constantly on the verge of passing out instead of engaging in physical activities. This sense of sleep deprivation increases proportional to dosage and eventually becomes powerful enough to force a person into complete unconsciousness.
- Respiratory depression
- Muscle relaxation
- Dizziness
- Motor control loss
Cognitive EffectsThe cognitive effects of Etizolam can be broken down into 7 components all of which progressively intensify proportional to dosage. The general head space of Etizolam is described by many as one of intense sedation and decreased inhibition. It contains a large number of typical depressant cognitive effects.
The most prominent of these cognitive effects generally include:
- Amnesia
- Anxiety suppression
- Thought deceleration
- Disinhibition
- Information processing suppression
- Euphoria
- Compulsive redosing
Toxicity and harm potential
- Blepharospasms (twitching eyelid) can occur with long term use.
- Rarely, Erythema annulare centrifugum skin lesions have been reported.
Lethal dosageThe lethal dosage of Etizolam has not been established, however like many benzodiazepines it has a large therapeutic index and margin of safety. Complications may arise when administered in excess. Intentional overdoses have been reported.
As with all GABAergic drugs, overdose can be lethal when mixed with other depressants including alcohol or opioids.
Tolerance and addiction potentialTolerance will develop to the sedative-hypnotic effects within a couple of days of repeated administration. Abrupt discontinuation of Etizolam, following regular dosing over several days, can result in a withdrawal phase which includes rebound symptoms such as increased anxiety and insomnia. It is possible to gradually reduce the dose over the course of several days, which will lengthen the duration of the withdrawal period, but reduce the perceived intensity.
Thienodiazepine discontinuation is notoriously difficult; it is potentially life threatening for individuals using regularly to discontinue use without tapering their dose over a period of weeks. There is an increased risk of seizure following discontinuation of Etizolam. Drugs which lower the seizure threshold such as tramadol should be avoided during withdrawal.
Legal issues
- United States August 2014 A Connecticut man was charge with IV count's possession of Etizolam after being involved with a DUI[2] In the same month the state of Arkansas listed Etizolam as a Schedule I drug under their drug scheduling guidelines.[3]
- Germany: Phenazepam and Etizolam were controlled in Germany in July 2013.[4][5]
- Poland: Etizolam may be scheduled under the Act on Counteracting Drug Addiction and the State Sanitary Inspection -Article 27c.
- United Kingdom: Etizolam is not controlled as of July 2013.

Executive Overview from Cliff Pemble, President and Chief Executive Officer: "The first quarter of 2013 proved to be challenging, much as we had anticipated when providing guidance in February," said Cliff Pemble, president and chief executive officer of Garmin Ltd. "Because we expected revenues to decline, we entered the year cognizant of the need to closely manage expenses which we accomplished. Both advertising and selling, general and administrative expenses declined year-over-year. Research and development expense increased as we remain committed to future innovation that can deliver long-term growth in both consumer and OEM markets. The outdoor segment posted a slight revenue decline in the seasonally weak first quarter. Though this is a slow start to the year, we remain excited about the innovative products that we will offer throughout the year. The fitness segment posted revenue growth of 2% in the quarter as we compared against strong initial shipments of the Forerunner™ 910XT which launched in first quarter of 2012 and contributed to 26% growth in the year ago quarter. Even with the difficult comparable, we were pleased to see the strong reception by the cycling community to our Edge 510 and 810 which began to ship in the quarter. In addition, consumers continue to gravitate to our Forerunner 10, capturing a new subset of the running market. The aviation segment posted revenue growth of 10% as the OEM market contributed strong gains in the quarter. Segment revenues exceeded $80 million for the first time since 2008 when OEM production rates peaked. This is evidence of the strong market share gains that the aviation team has achieved. While excited to post such strong performance in the first quarter, we have much work ahead of us with numerous business jet certifications slated for completion in the months ahead. At the same time, we continue to deliver innovation for the retrofit market – recent examples include new offerings for the experimental aircraft market and updates to the Garmin Pilot application, along with best-in-class certified ADS-B solutions with patent pending technologies that satisfy the FAA mandate for tens of thousands of impacted and eligible aircraft. In the marine segment, revenues declined 10% year-over-year due to several factors including the overall age of our product lineup, unfavorable weather conditions in the U.S., and ongoing macroeconomic uncertainties. In addition to decreased revenue, we experienced a significant reduction in gross margins as it became necessary to discount existing products to maintain market share. Reduced gross margins coupled with a year-over-year increase in research and development expense resulted in an operating loss for the segment. We believe strongly in the innovation that is forthcoming in our glass helms and future offerings and are committed to returning the segment to profitability. Looking finally at the auto/mobile segment, we posted a 10% revenue decline in the quarter as the PND market continues to decelerate. Though these results are disappointing, they were not unexpected and we are managing our business accordingly. We remain focused on our goals of market leadership and profitability. Partially offsetting the decline in PNDs is ongoing growth within our auto OEM market. We were excited to announce the news of our relationship with Mercedes Benz, delivering Garmin navigation to most models over the next four years. We are building a strong reputation in the infotainment market and this business relationship highlights the growing level of confidence amongst OEMs that Garmin can be a major supplier in the industry." Financial Overview from Kevin Rauckman, Chief Financial Officer: "Our first quarter results are largely as we had anticipated with growing revenue contribution from outdoor, fitness, and aviation, which represent our most profitable segments," said Kevin Rauckman, chief financial officer of Garmin Ltd. "It highlights that we are a company that will continue to be highly profitable even as our automotive/mobile segment declines. Gross margin for the overall business was 52% in the first quarter improving from 51% in the prior year. Segment mix contributed to the overall strong gross margin with revenue growth in aviation and fitness, which posted gross margins of 70% and 62%, respectively. The automotive/mobile segment also contributed improved gross margins driven by the amortization of previously deferred high margin revenues. As previously discussed, marine gross margins declined significantly partially offsetting the improvements noted above. Operating margin for the overall business was 15% compared to 16% in the year-ago quarter with the gross margin improvement offset by an increase in research and development expense. Total operating expenses increased $3 million year-over-year and by 210 basis points as a percent of sales. Research and development expense increased by $8 million as we continue to invest for future growth. Other selling, general and administrative and advertising costs decreased by $4 million and $1 million, respectively, on a year-over-year basis due to cost containment efforts. As in prior years, we believe that the first quarter will represent the low point for operating margins and with increased seasonal sales volumes, profitability levels are expected to improve. Our tax rate in the first quarter was (8.6%) compared to 12.8% in the first quarter of 2012. The negative tax rate in 2013 was primarily driven by release of reserves related to expiration of statutes or completion of tax audits, as well as the impact of research and development tax credits related to 2012 but recognized this quarter when related tax legislation was enacted. Adjusting for the release of reserves, our effective tax rate would have been 11.6% in the quarter. We continued to generate significant free cash flow (FCF) in the quarter though at a lesser rate than the prior year. A major contributing factor to the lower FCF in the first quarter of 2013 was a $41 million tax-related prepayment that will be recovered in the second quarter. We ended the quarter with a cash and marketable securities balance of over $2.7 billion. We intend to fund our quarterly dividend, share repurchases and future acquisitions with our strong cash position." Guidance, Share Repurchase and Dividend Update Consistent with prior years, Garmin plans to update guidance following the second quarter which is seasonally stronger, providing a better preview for the second half of the year. Revenue and pro forma EPS in the first quarter were consistent with our expectations. Garmin did not purchase shares in the first quarter under the $300 million authorization approved by the Board of Directors on February 15. The repurchase authorization remains in effect and management intends to repurchase shares from time to time as conditions warrant. As announced in February, the Board will recommend to the shareholders for approval at the annual meeting to be held on June 7, 2013 a cash dividend in the amount of $1.80 per share (subject to possible adjustment based on the total amount of the dividend in Swiss Francs as approved at the annual meeting) payable in quarterly installments. Non-GAAP Measures Pro forma net income (earnings) per share Management believes that net income per share before the impact of foreign currency translation gain or loss and income tax benefits due to completion of tax audits and/or expiration of statutes is an important measure. The majority of the Company's consolidated foreign currency gain or a loss result from transactions involving the Euro, the British Pound Sterling and the Taiwan Dollar and from the exchange rate impact of the significant cash and marketable securities, receivables and payables held in U.S. dollars at the end of each reporting period by the Company's various non U.S. subsidiaries. Such gain or loss is required under GAAP because the functional currency of the subsidiaries differs from the currency in which various assets and liabilities are held. However, there is minimal cash impact from such foreign currency gain or loss. The Company's income tax expense is periodically impacted by material reserve releases related to completion of audits and/or the expiration of statutes effecting prior periods. This is not reflective of the current effective tax rate. Accordingly, earnings per share before the impact of foreign currency translation gain or loss and income tax benefits due to completion of tax audits and/or expiration of statutes permits a consistent comparison of the Company's operating performance between periods.

Hello All,
How can I add a new element organization as *. I want to add account code 2241001 as deferred income in the product accounting window. When Account Dialog opens It shows Organization only HQ. Even If I login as Organization * , it still shows HQ. Is there any to display * there.
Kathy Pink
the org is irrelevant in the defaults as it will always be derived from the document
Asif Iqbal Syed
Thank you for your reply. As you mentioned It's true that org is irrelevant. However, if I created second organization say store , in the product accounting window I see the account shows HQ-224001- which I can change to my store. Wouldn't it be better If it display *-224001-.. so that this accounting corresponds to all organization.
In my understanding, system creates default account combination started with * when first time the client is created using Accounting_US.csv.
I created a new field in C_acctschema_default a new field P_Income_account and also add a new field in m_product_acct as P_Income_acct both should be populated with the Combination ID.
I have already created the client . So I cannot add default account in Accounting_US.csv file.
Is there any way to make the combination start with * or not possible.
Let you know a little conflit from Accounting-Kernel...
Accounting Kernel can't know the data of New-Element for what transaction...........
You need modify Doc.java and Doc_Invoice.java/Doc_InOut.java
Asif Iqbal Syed
Thanks a lot

Tooth decay is the gradual destruction of a tooth. Decay begins when acids produced by bacteria in the mouth dissolve the hard surface (outer layer) of the tooth. A cavity is a specific site of tooth decay.
Cavities may start on the tooth's surface above the gum line (in the enamel). These cavities are called coronal cavities. Or they may start on the surface below the gum line (in the cementum). These cavities are called root surface cavities.
Decay can extend into a tooth's interior, which consists of the dentin and pulp. The pulp contains the nerve, artery, and vein of each tooth. If decay extends into the pulp, an infection may develop in the tooth and in nearby gum (gingiva) and bone. A collection of pus (abscess) may form. Rarely, the infection can spread through the bloodstream to other parts of the body.
Cavities can develop in people of all ages. Older people are especially likely to have root surface cavities and decay at or near the edge of a restoration, such as a filling or a crown.
See the figure Without and With Cavities.
People get two chances with their teeth. During childhood, they learn how to care for 20 baby (deciduous) teeth. The risk of not caring for baby teeth is offset by the reassuring awareness that these teeth will be replaced. The second set, the permanent teeth, is for keeps: They must last for the rest of a person's life. Aging itself does little to interfere with the ability to keep permanent teeth in good repair.
Bacteria that produce acid cause tooth decay. When brushing and flossing (called oral hygiene) are not done well or not done at all, food debris is left in the mouth. Bacteria thrive on this debris. Food debris, mixed with saliva and dead cells from the inside of the mouth, is deposited in a soft, thin film on teeth every day. This deposit is called dental plaque. The bacteria that cause decay accumulate in plaque. When plaque remains on teeth, it can harden to form tartar. Tartar cannot be removed with a toothbrush, so it must be removed by a dentist or dental hygienist. Plaque builds up mainly when oral hygiene is poor. Poor oral hygiene is especially common among older people. It may be poor because a person sees less well, hands are less agile, arms are less flexible and less easy to move, or memory is less reliable.
Having a dry mouth increases the risk of tooth decay. The risk is higher because saliva contains substances that kill certain microorganisms. Saliva also helps wash away food debris. As people age, the mouth may produce slightly less saliva and so may become drier. Dry mouth may also be caused by a disorder or the use of certain drugs. Disorders and certain drugs can change the mouth in ways that make it easier for the bacteria that cause tooth decay to grow. For example, disorders or drugs can change the acidity (pH) of the mouth.
Older people tend to have many restorations, such as fillings or crowns. After many years of use, restorations are more likely to break down, leaving small gaps at the edges. These gaps provide ideal spots for bacteria to accumulate and for decay to begin.
As people age, the enamel on teeth may wear away, the bone that supports teeth may be lost, and gums may recede around and between teeth. Receding gums may result from inflammation and infection of the gums (gingivitis) or of the ligaments and bones that support and anchor the teeth (periodontitis). Receding gums leave spaces (pockets) between gum and tooth where food debris can be trapped. The roots of affected teeth may be exposed to bacteria. Then, root surface cavities are more likely to develop.
Tooth decay progresses slowly and produces few or no symptoms at first. Thus, it sneaks up on many older people. Tooth decay may be visible as discolored areas on the surface of teeth. These areas range from light brown to black. They can be as small as the head of a pin or as large as the entire tooth. If tooth decay reaches the pulp, it often causes pain. If the pulp is destroyed, pain may stop temporarily. However, if infection develops and results in a collection of pus (abscess), pain is likely to return, especially when food is chewed or the tooth is touched. Swelling may develop around the tooth's root or even in the face or neck. Swelling may indicate that the infection has spread into the jawbone, face, or neck.
Tooth decay is suspected when a dentist or doctor notices a dark brown or black area on a tooth. The diagnosis is confirmed when a dentist closely inspects and probes the surface of the tooth. Dental x-rays can help confirm the diagnosis.
People never outlive the need for regular dental examinations. Examinations every 4 to 6 months are recommended. They usually include removing plaque followed by polishing the teeth with fluoride (the entire procedure is called prophylaxis). Sometimes people who cannot get to a dentist's office (whether they live at home or in a long-term care facility) can arrange for a dentist to come to them.
Using a toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste every day can help prevent tooth decay. Brushing after each meal is best. When brushing cannot be done immediately after a meal, rinsing the mouth with a fluoride rinse or even water or chewing sugarless gum helps remove food debris. Brushing cannot remove all the food debris and plaque between teeth. So people should floss their teeth every day as a part of their oral hygiene regimen. Between-the-teeth (proxy) brushes can be very helpful, particularly for people with receding gums or gaps between the teeth where plaque can accumulate.
If use of the arms or hands is limited because of disorders such as arthritis, stroke, or Parkinson's disease, people may have difficulty brushing. Several gadgets can help. Toothpaste squeezers can be used to get toothpaste out of a tube. Extenders or holders can help people hold and manipulate a toothbrush. Electric and ultrasonic toothbrushes can be especially helpful. If holding onto a piece of dental floss is awkward, a floss holder can help. Or people can tie the ends of a piece of floss together to make a loop, which is easier to hold onto. If flossing is impossible, a device that uses water pressure to help remove debris from between teeth and from pockets around teeth is available.
If people cannot open their mouth very wide, brushing is harder. Such people should not force their mouth to open completely. Instead, they can use a toothbrush with a long, flexible handle and a small head (even a children's toothbrush) to brush the teeth as well as possible.
People with dementia often need to be reminded to brush or use a rinse. Some people with dementia need to have their teeth brushed by a caregiver. Most people with dementia need a caregiver to make sure that they see a dentist regularly.
When cavities develop, a dentist removes decayed areas of the tooth, usually with a drill. If the decay is limited to the enamel, the tooth can sometimes repair itself. Then all that is needed are prescription fluoride rinses, which help with repair. Fluoride makes the teeth more resistant to the acid produced by bacteria.
If decay is more extensive, the dentist prepares the surface of the tooth and fills the space left after removing decayed areas. New tooth-colored filling materials (composite resins and bonding agents) can sometimes be used. They help prevent cavities and appear natural. If a large area of the tooth is removed, a metal or porcelain crown may be needed. A crown fits over the whole tooth above the gum line. It is cemented securely in place.
Fillings and crowns are restorations: They help protect the remaining healthy part of the tooth and restore the tooth as much as possible to its original condition. If decay has damaged the pulp, root canal treatment is done. The pulp is removed, and the remaining space is filled with a substance that helps permanently prevent bacteria from entering that space. The tooth is then reshaped and covered with a metal or porcelain crown. If the tooth has so much decay that it cannot be restored or if other dental or medical problems make saving the tooth impossible, it may be removed (extracted).
Treatment of tooth decay can almost always preserve the function and appearance of the tooth. Restorations can last many years. They are likely to last much longer if people brush and floss regularly and thoroughly and have regular dental checkups.
