Radiation in bananas



20/04/2026

Lepas makan malam hidangan daging stik yang lazat atau sate yang kenyal, rutin biasa kita adalah mencari sebatang pencungkil gigi kayu. Sambil bersembang di meja makan, tangan laju mengorek celah-celah gigi, menekan kuat ke arah gusi semata-mata nak keluarkan urat daging yang terselit. Bila nampak sikit darah keluar kat hujung lidi tu, kita rasa lega sebab sangka semua sisa dah keluar habis.

Nampak macam tabiat menjaga kebersihan mulut yang normal. Tapi di mata pakar periodontik, tindakan mengorek gigi menggunakan lidi kayu adalah satu bentuk penderaan struktur gusi yang sangat kejam.

Batang lidi kayu pencungkil gigi tidak direka bentuk mengikut kesesuaian anatomi mulut manusia. Hujungnya sangat tajam, keras, dan permukaan kayunya penuh dengan serpihan mikro yang tersembunyi.

Setiap kali anda mencungkil dan menekan lidi itu ke celah gigi, anda sebenarnya sedang mengoyakkan satu tisu pelindung yang sangat rapuh iaitu poket gusi (Gingival Sulcus). Tisu berwarna merah jambu ini berfungsi ibarat getah pelindung yang memeluk erat batang gigi anda untuk menghalang kuman dari masuk ke akar.

Bila anda cucuk secara agresif, poket gusi ini akan terkoyak. Traumatik mekanikal yang berulang ini akan mencetuskan keadaan yang dipanggil Gum Recession atau penyusutan gusi. Gusi anda akan mula lari ke atas, mendedahkan akar gigi yang sensitif dan tidak mempunyai perlindungan enamel yang tebal.

Di sinilah igauan ngeri bermula. Celah gusi yang terkoyak itu kini menjadi pintu masuk terbuka untuk sisa makanan dan jutaan bakteria anaerobik. Serpihan halus lidi kayu yang tertinggal di dalam gusi akan membusuk dan mencetuskan keradangan tahap kronik (Periodontitis).

Akibatnya, gigi anda akan mula berasa ngilu bila minum ais, nafas berbau bangkai biarpun sudah berus gigi, dan lama-kelamaan, gigi yang sihat akan menjadi goyang dan luruh sendiri kerana tulang pemegang akarnya telah reput dimakan kuman.

Pencungkil gigi kayu yang berharga beberapa sen itu akhirnya akan menyebabkan anda terpaksa berbelanja belasan ribu ringgit untuk rawatan implan gigi palsu di klinik pergigian premium.

Gantikan tabiat buruk ini sekarang. Gunakan benang flos pergigian atau berus celah gigi yang direka khas untuk meluncur lembut tanpa melukakan gusi anda.

Jangan pertaruhkan senyuman masa depan anda pada sebatang kayu lidi yang tajam.

Ozempic Breath

The use of ozempic may cause halitosis or smelly breath. It may smell metallic, fruity or like acetone.

Ways Ozempic can cause smelly breath:

1) Dry mouth - because saliva production is reduced.
2) Gut dysbiosis - composition of gut microbiome is affected by ozempic.
3) Slowed gastric emptying - faster bacterial growth.
4) Ketosis - decreased carbohydrate intake leads to ketosis which has a distinct odour in breath.

Normal Variations of the Oral Cavity.

Some anatomical variations are common and present in more than 80% of the population. Although usually harmless, some of them may require attention during treatment planning.

For example, a large palatinus torus may affect the design of a maxillary denture.

Adults in China use pacifiers to combat stress.

However, the use of pacifiers can lead to anterior open bite although they are all grown up.

Moreover, they may cause jaw stiffness that consequently end in pain when chewing.

Are these two pictures same?

YES!
Around 50 bananas contain about 0.005 mSv of radiation, similar to 1 periapical radiograph.

To put the values into perspective, UK-New York return flight exposes you to 0.1mSv.

A small fraction of potassium in bananas is naturally present radioactive isotope, potassium-40.

Gigi patah.

Walaupun tiada lubang karies, tampalan ataupun hakisan, sesuatu gigi geraham masih boleh terpatah jika kita menggigit/makan pada satu belah sahaja pada jangka masa yang lama.

Faktor ini lebih melarat jika digabungkan dengan parameter lain seperti usia dan tabiat parafunctional.
