We hear a lot about making sure we have good oralhygiene. But what does this really mean? It simplyinvolves the removal of plaque (a thin, transparent film)

and food from the teeth and gums. If plaque is removed regularly,then the bacteria in your mouth will not be in contact with the toothsurfaces long enough to allow the build-up of acid necessary to causethe breakdown in tooth enamel that leads to cavities.

Brush twice daily and floss at least once a day.Use an antiseptic mouthwash to kill bacteria and maintain acleaner mouth (children can begin doing this once they are oldenough to swish it around without swallowing).

If possible, brush your teeth after every meal.Rinse vigorously with water after eating.Ensure that you and your children visit your dentist twice ayear for checkups.

Update: Building a Healthier TomorrowConstruction on New Rehabilitation & Orthopedic Center Underway

AHMC Renames Emergency Department

What are varicose veins? Who is at risk for varicose veins?

Varicose veins are swollen andtwisted veins that are visible justunder the surface of the skin.

They appear most commonly in the legs,but also can develop in other parts of thebody.

Veins are blood vessels that carry bloodfrom the tissues of the body to the heart.In the heart,blood is pumpedto the lungs topick up oxygen.The oxygen-richblood is thenpumped out tothe bodythrough thearteries. Fromthe arteries,blood flowsthrough tinyblood vesselscalledcapillaries,where it givesup its oxygen to the body's tissues.Theblood then returns back to the heartthrough the veins to pick up moreoxygen.

Veins have one-way valves that help tokeep the blood flowing toward the heart.When the valves don't work well, bloodbacks up and pools in the veins.Thiscauses them to swell and becomevaricose veins.

isk factors for developingvaricose veins include:

Having a family memberwith varicose veins may increase therisk for developing them.Approximately half of the people whoget varicose veins have a family historyof them.

The normal wear and tear ofaging may cause valves to weakenand not work as well.

Women are two to threetimes more likely to developvaricose veins than men. Up to halfof American women have varicoseveins. Changes in hormones due topuberty, pregnancy, menopause, ortaking birth control pills mayincrease a woman's risk ofdeveloping varicose veins.

During pregnancy,the growth of the fetus increasesthe pressure on the veins in thelegs.Varicose veins that occurduring pregnancy usually improve

within 3 to 12 months followingdelivery.

Havingextra weight on the body can putadditional pressure on the veins.

When standing or sitting withlegs bent or crossed, the veins have towork harder to pump the blood up tothe heart.

If you are concerned aboutvaricose veins or other relatedvein problems, contactDr. Sharon, a surgeon whorecently joined the AHMCMedical Staff. He can bereached at 481-2842.

How CanVaricoseVeinsBe Prevented?

Varicose veins can't be preventedfrom forming, but there are waysto reduce the severity of existing

varicose veins and the risk of getting newvaricose veins.To decrease the risk for andseverity of varicose veins, you can:

Exercise. Moving your legs by walking orother forms of exercise can help moveblood through your body.Control your weight. If you areoverweight or obese, losing weight willreduce pressure on your veins.Avoid high heels and tight clothes. Flat orlow-heeled shoes give your calf muscles abetter workout, which will help toimprove muscle strength and bloodcirculation.Avoiding tight clothing willreduce unnecessary pressure on yourveins.Avoid excessive standing or sitting withyour legs bent or crossed.This will helpblood flow and avoid additional pressureon your veins. During long periods ofstanding, try to take sitting breaks often.Elevate your legs. Elevating your legswhen sitting, resting, or sleeping can helpthe flow of blood, especially if your legsare raised above the level of your heart.
