Some people have more of a gag reflex than others. If when you brush, you occupy your mind with something else while still using the proper brushing technique, you won't focus on gagging. For example, try sitting in a chair when brushing, straighten one leg, then lift and hold it in the air.
Antibiotic Resistance Threats in the US. Antibiotics are powerful tools for fighting illness and disease, but overuse of antibiotics has helped create bacteria that are outliving the drugs used to treat them. Antibiotic resistance is a quickly growing, extremely dangerous problem. World health leaders have described antibiotic-resistant bacteria as nightmare bacteria that pose a catastrophic threat to people in every country in the world.
If an antibiotic is taken when itâs not really needed, the patient risks suffering side effects without receiving any benefit from that medication. The overuse of antibiotics can cause a patient to develop an infection of the colon called Clostridium difficile (or C. diff for short). This infection can occur when the antibiotic kills all the good bacteria, along with the bad, and leaving only C. diff behind to cause an infection. Overuse of antibiotics can also lead to antibiotic resistance, perhaps the most worrisome consequence. When bacteria are exposed to antibiotics, they can develop mutations which cause the antibiotic to no longer work against those bacteria.
