Tooth Extraction With Abscess, Is It Safe?

First born complained of tooth ache.. err no.. he was not just complaining, he’s wailing! He asked for tooth extraction.. he said he can’t bear the pain anymore..poor kid 🙁

Before we went to the dentist, I asked a few friends kung safe ba magpabunot ng ngipin kahit masakit or kung may maga?

Most of the answered no and the dentist said the same thing. Why? according to the dentist, the anesthesia won’t work if the patient is experiencing pain.. eh kung mataas ang pain tolerance? Hindi pa rin safe.. why?

The dentist explained that when an abscessed tooth is pulled out, the pus in the infection can go inside the root and can lead to a more serious infection. The dentist advised that my son take antibiotics for the infection and pain killer for the pain.

She prescribed Amoxicillin and Dolfenal for pain. She said to continue taking Dolfenal for 2 days even if there is no more pain since the med is also anti inflammatory.

Dolfenal contains mefenamic acid and is used for: (from Unilab website)

For the symptomatic relief of mild to moderately severe pain including headache, dental pain, post-operative and postpartum pain, primary dysmenorrhea, menorrhagia, and pain associated with cancer;
For the symptomatic relief of musculoskeletal and joint disorders including osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis;
For the treatment of soft tissue rheumatism, sprain/swelling of tendons (tendonitis) and low back pain

Still, he can’t have tooth extraction when the pain and the infection subsides.. according to the dentist, he needs to wait until he’s 12 before an extraction can be done. And to prevent tooth ache from happening again, the dentist advised the use of Mouthwash often and of course proper care of teeth such as brushing after eating.

Could You Be a World Champion at your Favourite Board Game?

Wouldn’t it be great to be a world champion at something? Sure, you might not run as fast or jump as high as some world famous athletes but there must be something you are incredibly good at.

For example, maybe you an absolute whizz at your favourite board game. Have friends and relatives started grumbling that you are always giving them a sound thrashing every time you play? If this is the case then maybe it is time to see whether you have the skills to become a true world champion.

The Monopoly World Championships

Like the football World Cup, this global event is held every 4 years and attracts players from all round the planet. It started out in the mid-70s and seems to be a really serious business. The last tournament I can find details on was in 2009, so presumably there was one in 2013 as well. Back in 2009 the event was held in Las Vegas and the winner was a Norwegian chap called Bjørn Halvard Knappskog. If you are confident that you always buy the right property at the right time then you need to contact Hasbro to find out how to enter.

The Scrabble World Championships

The great thing about the world championships for Scrabble is that there are different ones for different languages. If English isn’t your strongest language then there are also French and Spanish versions too. In the English version, players joust to find the longest and highest scoring words every couple of years. The 2013 championship was held in Prague and won by a New Zealand master wordsmith by the name of Nigel Richards. Over 100 competitors tend to take part every year, so you will need to be sure of your ability to make words out of random series of letters against a big field of rivals. If you don’t fancy your chances of coming up with huge words then you could try making up your own board game at admagic.com/custom-board-games.html and getting a world championship event started.

The Draughts World Championship(s)

You need to be careful when entering for this event, as there are two different world championships with similar names. If what you are a genius at is checkers then you want the English Draughts World Championship, while the other one is the International Draughts World Championship. This is a great board game which also has world rankings for its players. This means that you could have the pleasure of seeing how you shoot up the rankings with every victory you pull off.

Backgammon World Championships

Is backgammon your thing? Hey, they’ve got a tournament for that too. This world championship has been on the go since 1967 and there is even a European Backgammon tour you could look to get involved in. If you sometimes watch Eurosport you might even have caught the impressive final of the World Series of Backgammon Championship one time. €160,000 was up for grabs in this event, so it is obviously a serious business. If you want a great trip to go with your backgammon tournament then the week long European Open event held in Monte Carlo is massively popular. Alternatively, you could head to the Bahamas for an alternative tournament. It looks like a fun life being a competitive backgammon player.

Shogi World Championships

Maybe you would like to try your hand at something completely different. Shogi is also known as Japanese Chess and there is a big tournament held in Japan regularly. You should be warned though that there are professional players in Japan who have been playing this hugely complex board game for years. You are going to need a lot of practise if you are going to take them on and hope to emerge victorious.

Hnefatafl World Championships

For something even more intriguing you might want to try and become a world champion at hnefatafl. This is an ancient Viking game which died out around the time of the first crusade. Enthusiasts have been working for the last few years to understand and modernise the rules of this chess-like game. Now that this has been done there is even a world championship you can try and win. Where it is held? Bizarrely, the tiny and sparsely populated Shetland Island of Fetlar is where you can try your luck. The 2013 championships happened in July, with adults paying £5 to enter and kids joining in with the medieval fun for free. Getting there might be the most complicated part of all. The travelling instructions to Fetlar sound pretty complicated even if you are already in another part of the Shetland Islands, with a number of interconnecting ferries needed.

Bob Emerald loves his board games and sets his goals at being the worlds ultimate kerplunk champion.

Stress Free Moving

The process of moving from one place to another can be a very stressful and difficult period of time. The logistics alone can be enough to cause a significant amount of stress and they can make the whole process very uncomfortable. While there are a lot of things that a person simply cannot avoid when they are moving, there are things they can do to help assuage the difficulty the experience. Finding the right moving service, a simple way to change address, and switching over utilities can have a substantial impact on the amount of stress someone feels while moving.

The first step is of course finding a moving company that suits your needs. While this may seem like it’s easier said than done, the truth is that finding a great moving company doesn’t have to be a very difficult process. Doing a small amount of research into the background and work history of a moving company can be a good first start. There are many different websites available that provide customer reviews of all sorts of services. Using these resources to your advantage when looking for the right mover can make all the difference and it can save a lot of trouble.

Perhaps the most stressful and confusing part of moving is finding out where to go for utilities or where to switch over an address for necessary services. Using a concierge service that provides a free address change and home service connections can make the process much faster and much less stressful. Companies like Kandela Concierge Service have built their business around connecting new homeowners or renters with the necessary home services they’ll need when moving to a new area. It’s useful to use services like this because some parts of the country can be very difficult to find utilities in. This can be especially true when moving to an area where utilities have been deregulated by the state.

In the end, there are a lot of things to keep in mind when moving to a new area. While it’s not possible to make any move totally stress-free, using the right services can go a long way toward at least making it a bit less stressful. After all, it’s hard enough to manage the logistics of work, family and personal belongings. Throwing transport and utility logistics into the mix can be an unnecessary burden and can be avoided.
