Of all dental specialists, periodontists are dentists that specialize in gum treatment.  Periodontology  is the study of the gums – this includes gum care, gum-related diseases, and oral inflammation. For what seems to be a seemingly small body part that makes up our human form, the impact of poor gum hygiene on your health can be significantly great. There are two main gum diseases, which are  Periodontitis  (loss of gum attachment to the root surface) and Gingivitis (inflammation and bleeding of gums ). In most cases, only the more problematic and severe cases would be treated by Periodontists. However, the overall health and maintenance of your gums is highly important to prevent the development of gum diseases and is important to seek advice at a  Singapore Dental Surgery   if ever you feel discomfort. Gingivitis is the mildest form of gum disease and if not treated properly, it can lead to  Periodontitis which is more serious. The effect...

M was upset and looked at me in disbelief when I told her the not-so-sweet news. She had failed her glucose tolerance test (GTT) and had been suffering from gestational diabetes. M, aged 34, and a first-time mum was at 24 weeks of gestation. “Doc, I have a sweet tooth.” She confessed. “I would indulge in cakes and ice-cream after my morning sickness was over. Would the high blood sugar affect my baby?” She then revealed that her mum was also diagnosed to have diabetes recently. Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is a condition in which a woman develops high blood sugar levels during pregnancy. It happens when the body does not produce enough insulin to effectively convert glucose to stored energy resulting in its build-up in the blood. Gestational Diabetes Mellitus It can affect any pregnant mother, but the following are the risk factors: Obesity: BMI more than 25kg/m2 History of delivering a big baby (4kg and above) Previous history of GDM Aged 35 and abov...

For all my life until 5 months ago, I didn’t see myself as someone who was very fit. In fact, I was quite a couch potato, only exercising maybe up to twice a week if I really felt like it. I would run every Sunday with my buddies along the Alexandra canal as we have been doing it for years. It just felt like I was doing the bare minimum to keep myself barely healthy, so long as I keep up my immunity. I didn’t even know that there was such a thing as personal trainers in Singapore . I was still having my favourite bubble tea twice a week and eating fast food weekly, and that was just how I was for a really long time. However, every time I open Instagram, I would see photos and videos shared by my friends and some celebrities that I follow, showing them working out at the gym or fit pics of themselves in clothes looking very dapper. Even when I browse through men’s magazines, I would also see photos of men having a very fit body and looking smart in their clothes. ...

What are Cataracts? Cataracts are a condition where the clear natural lens of your eyes turns cloudy. This prevents sufficient light from entering your eye, causing it to be scattered and blocked. This causes a vision impairment, which will interfere with daily activities as vision deteriorates. Things will look blurry, hazy or colours might not appear as bright as they used to. Some symptoms are as listed: Vision that is Clouded, blurred or dim Difficulty seeing at night Sensitivity to light and glare Seeing halos around lights The need for bright light when reading and performing other tasks Fading or yellowing of colours Double vision in one eye It usually occurs due to ageing. However, it may also be caused by family history, having had an eye injury, surgery or radiation treatments on the upper body, certain existing medical conditions or spending a lot of time in the sun. Factors like obesity, smoking and hyperte...

Presbyopia is long-sightedness which is caused by the loss of elasticity of our eye lens and mostly occurs in the middle and older age. The eye condition which occurs due to both myopia and hypermetropia is called Presbyopia. Myopia is also commonly known as nearsightedness and hypermetropia is known as long-sightedness. Due to Presbyopia, we are unable to see the objects placed near our eyes especially reading material. Presbyopia is a common eye condition around the world including Singapore and happens mostly around the age of 40. Previously, Presbyopia used to be treated by bifocal spectacles, but now there are many treatments for  presbyopia correction in Singapore . In Presbyopia, the lens of our eye becomes harder and less elastic, making it harder for the eye to focus on the nearby objects and as a result, a person will hold the reading material slightly further than the normal distance from the eye, causing eye strain, headache and fatigue. According to a study ...

It was on a Sunday in last December, I went to play golf with my husband and Eve and Jonathan. Jonathan is a professional golfer and golf coach at the local country club. Eve was invited to have a nice day out on the course just for “Fun”. We started at 8:30am and without realising it took us 3 hours to complete the 12 hole course. It was a nice day out, we had a golf buggy so we didn’t have to be out in the sun for too long.. or be walking miles. I don’t know who would be complaining about that the most. Without having to go through all the scores, you know who won.. It was quite close – well not really. My husband claims that out of the three amatures, he won.  We had fun golfing! Anyhow, that’s not really important. What’s important is that we all had fun. It had been a while since I last played golf, which is probably why I had a problem with my back. This is what I really wanted to talk about and to share my recovery story with you.  Visiting a Physiothera...
