Orthopedics is a medical specialty focused on diagnosing, treating, and preventing conditions involving the bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles. This includes injuries like fractures and chronic issues like arthritis.
You should see an orthopedic doctor if you experience persistent joint pain, swelling, stiffness, reduced range of motion, or injuries that don’t improve with rest and home care. Early consultation can help prevent worsening of the condition and promote faster recovery.
It’s recommended to visit the dentist every six months for a routine checkup and cleaning. However, some individuals with specific dental issues may need to go more frequently as advised by their dentist.
Tooth sensitivity can be caused by worn enamel, exposed tooth roots, cavities, cracked teeth, or gum disease. Using toothpaste for sensitive teeth and avoiding very hot or cold foods can help, but a dentist should evaluate persistent sensitivity.
Women should have a routine gynecological exam once a year, starting in their late teens or when they become sexually active. This may include a pelvic exam, Pap smear, and discussion of reproductive health.
A Pap smear is a screening test that checks for abnormal cells in the cervix that could lead to cervical cancer. It’s an important tool for early detection and is typically recommended every 3 years for women aged 21 to 65.
