When tooth enamel is lost or when gums recede, the inner layer of the tooth called dentine maybe exposed! Dentine is made of thousands of microscopic tubes that lead to the nerves deep inside the tooth. Cold, heat and sugar cause the fluid movement in the dentine which stimulates nerves and resulting in pain.
Dentine will exposed by the following factors :-
1. Gum diseases
2. Abnormal grinding of teeth
3. Brushing too hard near the gums
4. Acid erosion of protective enamel
How can to stop the pain?
Well, you could switch to Sensodyne or colgate toothpaste. If that doesn't work, try Crest sensitivity. Use a toothbrush with soft bristles. Your toothbrush should be changed regularly. Splayed bristles are less effective in removing dental plaque and debris from the teeth. They may even injure the gums. If that doesn't work then go to your dentist and see if you have gum recession and root exposure. There are treatments such as fluoride varnish, hema, duraphat, just to name a few.

Diabetes and Symptoms (Health and Lifestyle)
What is diabetes?
Diabetes is a condition affecting the system whereby the pancreas stops producing insulin or produces too little or where the cells in your body are resistant to the insulin that pancreas produces.
What is insulin?
Insulin is the hormone which unlocks the cells in your body and allows sugar (glucose) in your blood to be used at once or to be stored away to be used later on.
Symptoms
1. Excessive tiredness
2. Recurrent infections
3. Dehydration and excessive thirst
4. Cut and wounds may be very slow to heal
5. Weight loss
6. A need to frequently go to the toilet
7. Itching in the genital area or frequent episodes of thrush.
There are two main types of diabetes, Type 1 and Type 2. Each type of diabetes has different causes so they are treated differently. As the causes are closely related the symptoms are very similar.
Type 1 diabetes
Type 1 diabetes occurs when the insulin producing cells in the pancreas are damaged. Thus the pancreas eventually stops producing any insulin yet. Basically, it affects young people, although it can occur at any age and can develop very quickly over a short space of time. It is controlled with insulin injections. The amount of insulin you need is balanced against levels of sugar in your blood.
Type 2 diabetes
Type 2 diabetes occurs when the cells in your body are resistant to the affects of insulin and your pancreas doesn’t produce enough insulin. It develops slowly and gradually over a long period of time, so the symptoms may not be noticed and the condition often goes undiagnosed. This type usually found in middle aged or elderly people, but it is increasingly being diagnosed in early adulthood and sometimes in childhood. It generally runs in families and is particularly prevalent in certain ethnic groups. It can sometimes be treated with diet and exercise. If that is not enough to control it, you will be given tablets or you may need to move on to insulin injections.

Perbandingan petrol RON95 dan RON97 (Comparison between RON 95 and RON97)
RON95 or RON97
Baru-baru ini kerajaan telah mengumumkan petrol RON95 akan dijual mulai 1 September 2009 bagi menggantikan petrol RON92 yang ditamatkan penggunaan kerana penggunaan petrol RON92 hanya melibatkan lima peratus jualan di negara ini. Harga petrol RON95 telah ditetapkan pada harga RM 1.80 seliter manakala petrol RON97 yang dijadikan produk premium telah dinaikkan harga kepada RM 2.05 berbanding RM 1.80 sebelum ini.
Antara alasan petrol RON95 diperkenalkan adalah selaras dengan spesifikasi EURO2M di mana ia boleh mengurangkan pencemaran dan pengguna akan memperoleh produk berkualiti pada harga yang disubsidi. Namun begitu, sejauh mana keberkesanan dan kecekapan serta kualiti petrol RON95 ia bergantung kepada pengguna kenderaan.
Ruangan ini memberi peluang kepada anda untuk menyatakan pendapat serta komen bagi membincangkan isu di atas. Adakah harga yang ditetapkan sesuai dengan kecekapan petrol tersebut.
Apakah RON?
RON ialah akronim bagi ‘Research Octane Number’ atau nombor oktana penyelidikan. Ia merupakan ukuran bagi sifat pembakaran petrol. Nombor 95 dan 97 mewakili nilai RON yang minimum bagi sesuatu petrol agar ‘ketukan enjin’ dapat dicegah. Ketukan enjin berlaku apabila petrol terbakar secara pra matang sebelum dinyalakan oleh palam pencucuh. Ini mengakibatkan ketukan yang akan menyebabkan sesuatu enjin kehilangan kuasa. Dengan menggunakan petrol yang mempunyai nilai RON minimum yang bersesuaian dengan keperluan kenderaan anda, sepertimana yang telah disyorkan oleh pengeluar enjin kenderaan anda, anda memastikan pembakaran berlaku tepat pada masanya lantas mengelakkan berlakunya fenomena ketukan enjin.
Manual kenderaan anda seharusnya menyatakan nilai RON minimum petrol yang perlu digunakan. Ada kalanya, maklumat ini turut dicatatkan pada atau di sekeliling penutup tangki petrol anda. Sekiranya anda tidak pasti, rujuklah dengan pengedar rasmi atau pengeluar enjin kenderaan anda, ataupun dengan merujuk kepada mekanik bertauliah.

Did You Know What RON Is?
"RON stands for Research Octane Number. Octane number or octane rating refers to the gasoline ability to withstand auto ignition (knocking) inside the engine. Higher octane number refers to higher ability of the oil to fight auto ignition. Simply say, it means that RON95 is harder to ignite compared to RON92 or RON97 is harder to burn compared to RON95.
Higher octane number oil is mostly designed for top performance cars such as sport cars and racing cars. This is to avoid premature burning of oil inside the engine."
A lot of people said that RON92 petrol is the older oil and it is only suitable for older cars only. And, there are also some said that RON92 petrol would make the engine dirty. As comparison, RON92 petrol is less powerful than RON95 and RON97. What do you opinion?
