Hiya there!
Well, for one, corporate greed. In the media, like TV, movies, artists, etc., are usually very physically attractive in most people's opinion. This can lead to pressure on the rest of society to live up to the extremely high standards, as well as many self-depreciating thoughts about how oneself isn't good enough. Actually, this has been happening for hundreds, if not thousands of years! Distribution of magazines and books have put forth what one must attain. I've attached a picture of a corset ad from circa 1850.
In ancient cultures, like Sparta, being physically active and fit was necessary to fit into society, especially for men (which grew up to be strong, noble soldiers). A huge emphasis on being the greatest was placed on everyone.
But, being attractive and being fit are two different things. Having an active lifestyle can improve your life in countless ways, from improving your mood to lowering your risk of obtaining certain diseases.
There are patients who seem to be uncomfortable in regards to examination of their skin thus as a medical assistant there are ways to help the patient to be comfortable. One of it is to provide privacy by exposing only the needed area for examination and can provide like a blanket for the other areas. Also make sure to examine the patient in a room or in an area covered with curtain to maintain privacy as well.
<span>Sometimes the gum tissues just don’t like the proximity of the braces and react by swelling and/or overgrowing.
Things that can help are:
Keeping some pressure on the gums using a warm or cool pack.
Use a salt water solution to clean and help heal the gums
Gently brush/floss
If this doesn't help, get ahold of your dentist and ask him/her for some more ideas or oral ointments to apply to the sensitive gum areas.</span>
