Watch how this thick, brown root is causing pain during chewing. 🤢🥶🦷 This is what can happen when a broken or damaged tooth is left untreated for too long. Never ignore a broken tooth. 😔

If their husbands don't want them to leave the country, how come they are all writing the exams? This is nothing but lies.
Some of the married female nurses I've worked with are more than qualified to practise abroad. They have good IELTS results, have prepared their documents and are ready to take the next step. But guess what's holding some of them back? Their husbands don't want them to leave Nigeria.

A woman was shouting at her husband in the clinic because he had 70k to pay for their dental cleaning, yet she asked him for money recently, he claimed he had none. Even if she was upset, why confront him in a clinic, in front of so many people? This is what happens when you marry someone who has no sense of privacy or respect for their partner. 🤦🏽‍♂️ Who you marry is more important than when you marry.

These are NOT the leading causes of chronic kidney disease: ❌ Alcohol consumption ❌ Smoking ❌ Fake or adulterated drinks ❌ Skin bleaching The TWO leading causes of chronic kidney disease worldwide are:

1. High blood sugar levels injure the tiny blood vessels inside the kidneys over time. When these vessels are damaged, the kidneys cannot filter waste from the blood properly. 2. High blood pressure forces blood through the kidney's delicate filters with too much intensity. This constant high pressure stretches, weakens, and scars the kidney's blood vessels. 3. As both conditions destroy the filtering units, toxins accumulate in the body, leading to chronic kidney disease (CKD).

But don't get it twisted, smoking, heavy alcohol consumption and exposure to toxic substances can also contribute to kidney damage.

This Chinese woman suffered five fractured ribs and a sixth cracked rib after her husband gave her a tight hug. When she told him she was cold, he hugged her tightly from behind and lifted her slightly. Moments later, she cried out in pain and collapsed. A scan revealed the injuries. Doctors reportedly found that she had osteoporosis, a condition that weakens bones and makes them more susceptible to fractures. Who could have thought that a harmless hug can cause serious injuries?

When 17-year-old Kelly Anne Bates was murdered, she had suffered approximately 150 separate injuries. 💔 She had been imprisoned and tortured by her killer for weeks. She was burned with cigarettes and a hot iron, stabbed with knives and scissors, and suffered crushed hands and kneecaps that left her unable to walk. She had been partially scalped, and her ears, nose, lips, mouth and genitalia were mutilated. Both eyes had been gouged out, and her empty eye sockets were stabbed. She was also severely deprived of food and water. Before her death, she was beaten over the head with a showerhead and drowned. How can a human being reach such an unimaginable level of cruelty? 💔

WHY DO YOU SWEAT SO MUCH, EVEN WHEN EVERYONE ELSE IS COMFORTABLE? You're sitting in an air conditioned room, but your armpits are soaking wet. 😭 Your palms are sweating while you're doing absolutely nothing. Your face is dripping, your clothes are stained, and you're wondering, Is something wrong with me? Let's talk about EXCESSIVE SWEATING!👇

Half the diabetics I meet at the counter didn't come in for diabetes. They came for "tiredness" and "a wound that won't heal." ➡️Here's what you need to know about diabetes: ▪︎The signs hide in plain sight. Waking up at night to pee, excessive thirst, hunger right after eating, blurry eyes, tingling feet, wounds that take forever. ▪︎Food myths. Cutting sugar from your tea but still eating a mountain of eba or white rice won't save you. Portion size and how often you eat matter as much as what you eat. ▪︎Herbal mixtures. Bitter leaf water and bottled concoctions from the market are everywhere. The danger is when people drop their prescribed drugs for them. Tell your pharmacist what you're taking, herbal or not. Mixing blindly can crash your sugar or stress your organs. ▪︎Check your sugar before you feel sick. Many people carry diabetes for years without knowing.

A woman did IVF at 26, after three years of unsuccessful attempts to conceive. She was criticised for seeking fertility treatment at a young age, but she explained that the decision was based on her circumstances and her doctor’s advice. Unfortunately, someone had this to say 😭 IVF (In Vitro Fertilisation) is a fertility treatment that helps a woman become pregnant by bringing an egg and sperm together in a laboratory to create an embryo. It is NOT demonic.

A 16-year-old boy had a fully developed tooth growing inside his eye socket 🦷👁️ He noticed a painless swelling in his upper eyelid which started poking through his skin. Scans revealed a complete canine tooth growing in his eye, and surgeons removed it. The rare condition is called an ectopic tooth—when a tooth develops outside its normal position in the mouth. Have you ever heard of a tooth growing outside the mouth?

How did all that get stuck in there? 😳 This seriously contributes to bad breath, tooth decay and gum disease. This is why flossing should be done regularly. 🦷
