    Loose teeth, in the later stages (though this may occur for other reasons as well) Drifting of incisors; Gingival inflammation and bone destruction are often painless. Patients sometimes assume that painless bleeding after teeth cleaning is insignificant, although this may be a symptom of progressing chronic periodontitis in that patient.

  3. Presbyopia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presbyopia

    People with presbyopia require a convex lens for reading glasses; specialized preparations of convex lenses usually require the services of an optometrist. [15] Contact lenses can also be used to correct the focusing loss that comes along with presbyopia. Multifocal contact lenses can be used to correct vision for both the near and the far.

  4. Interdental cleaning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interdental_cleaning

    Interdental cleaning or interproximal cleaning is part of oral hygiene where the aim is to clean the areas in between the teeth, otherwise known as the proximal surfaces of teeth. This is to remove the dental plaque in areas a toothbrush cannot reach.

    Loose teeth, in the later stages (though this may occur for other reasons, as well) Gingival inflammation and bone destruction are largely painless. Hence, people may wrongly assume painless bleeding after teeth cleaning is insignificant, although this may be a symptom of progressing periodontitis in that person. Periodontal disease

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teeth_cleaning

    In addition to brushing, cleaning between teeth may help to prevent build-up of plaque bacteria on the teeth. This may be done with dental floss or interdental brushes.. 80% of cavities occur in the grooves, or pits and fissures, of the chewing surfaces of the teeth, [4] however, there is no evidence currently showing that normal at-home flossing reduces the risk of cavities in these areas.

  7. Refractive error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractive_error

    When refractive errors in children are not treated, the child may be at risk of developing ambylopia, where vision may remain permanently blurry. [32] Because young children typically do not complain of blurry vision, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children have yearly vision screening starting at three years old so that unknown refractive errors or other ophthalmic ...

    [2] on at least two permanent teeth (one which is a first molar) and no involvement of more than two teeth other than the first molars and incisors, [2] [33] lack of inflammation and evidence of deep periodontal pocket with advanced bone loss. [2] There is also a relatively fast progression of periodontal tissue loss. [33]

  9. Accommodation (vertebrate eye) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accommodation_(vertebrate_eye)

    The increased equatorial zonular tension keeps the lens stable and flattens the peripheral lens surface during accommodation. As a consequence, gravity does not affect the amplitude of accommodation and primary spherical aberration shifts in the negative direction during accommodation. [42] [43] The theory has not found much independent support.
