Human beings live their lives in pursuit of many things. More often than not, we are pre-occupied with material things, which would seem to make our lives better. We are often consumed with our jobs, money and status in society. We often forget one of the most fundamental pillars of happiness: health. They say that if you are in good health, then you are rich. This becomes evident when we fall ill or suffer some physical harm. Even the things that we had our eyes on, i.e. the money and wealth, starts looking like a distant dream because we are not in good health. A healthy body allows for a healthy mind, which is essential in our daily living.

What can we do to achieve this good health? There are several things that you can do to reduce the risk or occurrence of sickness and disease. The simplest form you can start by taking is practicing good hygiene. This involves making sure you wash your hands with soap after leaving the washroom or after working in the farm. Another step that you can take is to be conscious of the food that you eat. Take note to see that you are eating healthy, natural foods that will be beneficial to your body. A secondary measure that you can take is to visit the doctor's office periodically for routine tests and examinations. The doctor will also be in a position to advice you on how to live a healthy life.

There are some health concerns that we all generally do not like to get into. One such concern is our dental health. People say that some pains are mental, some are physical, but one that is both is dental. The truth is most people dread the thought of going to the dentists. This might be informed by their own past experience or other persons' experiences they have heard about. Whatever the case, we miss out on the opportunity of detecting and treating dental issues early. Some of the dental procedures may prove to be a difficult pill to swallow, but they do make sense in the long term.

One of the questions that you will frequently hear is whether wisdom tooth extraction can cause facial paralysis. There are several schools of thought on this issue. The most common holds that facial paralysis can be associated with a dental procedure and not necessarily an extraction. There are several reasons why facial paralysis can occur after a dental procedure. The most common are viral infections, primarily herpes simplex or facial nerve trauma, which seldom ever occurs. There are products in the market that one can take to cure these symptoms. You can use an antiviral agent and corticosteroid, which more often than not get rid of this problem successfully.

As with all medical conditions, it is important to see a medical specialist for a proper diagnosis and treatment. Facial paralysis could be a symptom of a much more severe illness.
