Neither do you eat selectively for a limited period of time and go back to binging sooner than you had expected. Weight loss is an end in itself. It needs to be incorporated into our daily hectic schedule so that it is a part of our routine - on the same terms as eating, sleeping, talking and breathing. Weight loss is an integral part of a lifestyle change.

This makes the tooth far less likely to cause any problems as its root cannot become infected again. Now, what we are looking for initially are signs of an infection. Luckily an infection is easily treated with a course of antibiotics, but if the root inside has been affected then this will require root canal treatment to ...
