What Is Onychophagia?

Question- What is:   unattractive  annoying...AND damaging to your teeth? Onychophagia   is simply defined as n ail biting. So, why do it? More importantly, how do you stop it? A (really) Bad Habit Over 20% of the world's population are compulsive nail biters. That means one out of five people are affected by this disorder. Typically, nail biting is triggered by stress, excitement, or even boredom. It can also be a learned behavior from family members. Nail biting is the most common of the typical “nervous habits,” along with thumb sucking, hair pulling or twisting. Fingernails are a vacation home of bacteria and germs. Your nails are nearly twice as dirty as your fingertips. Biting them just invites illnesses and numerous other health problems. Nail biting can also cause damage to the gums. Chewed-off nails are often swallowed and may become lodged between teeth. This can allow additional germs and infections to set in (gingivitis, anyone?).

Five Questions......

One of the best ways to start out your new year is to make a self-assessment list. Don't focus on what you may have failed to accomplish in the last 12 months. It's unimportant and can be self-defeating. Rather, look at where you want to be and use tiny steps to get there. I'll give you an example: Although there's always room for improvement, I see myself as somewhat content with my life the way things are. It is, of course difficult to think of anything else when there are real issues to be discussed. We all have to deal with problems from time to time. Whatever they may be, these challenges are all a part of growing up. Modern psychology has taught (or conditioned) us to "get in touch with our inner child". Hogwash. Here's a challenge: Try telling your mortgage lender that you missed last month's payment because you needed to explore your fascination with dollies, so you blew off making the payment. or Explain to your kids that there are no groceri

Alternative medicine has generated controversy in many medical academic circles.  Photo by  practicalowl  on  Foter.com  /  CC BY-NC For some people, the very word "alternative" conjures up images of risky, unproven experimental treatments that are potentially hazardous to the general public. The most common methods of alternative or complementary therapies include herbs, supplements, and fringe therapies found outside of conventional medical applications. Unusual concoctions come with the territory of "alternative treatments". However, some alternative methods unintentionally raise questions regarding their safety and effectiveness.
