Great item

I purchased this for my son who will be in a wheelchair for a couple of months due to surgery. This pad has worked out very well. It was much less expensive than in the home medical stores in my area.

Works to a degree.

When you are sitting in a wheelchair all day this cushion is great. As long as one is sitting and not having to get up or down. It needs someway to attach to the chair so that it stays put when trying to sit down. It has a tendency to slide back or to one side or the other. The outer covering could be made of a less clingy fabric so that it stays put. You just have to fidget with it too much.

NOT AS GOOD AS I HAD HOPED IT WOULD BE

As I sit on at the computer a lot and have issues with my tail bone, I was looking for something that would not go flat! Everything I tried before this, would go flat and *stay flat* This, at least refills itself with air after the night or a long time passes where I am not sitting on it, but.......it still goes flat and has very little thickness to it after I have sat for awhile, but is still better than the chair itself with little or no cushion and does help some, so I will use it until I can find something better....

Wheelchair Gel Cushion

using it on a desk chair with wheels and cushion leaves only a little gel at front of cushion making it so that you slip forward after a few minuets
causing you to have to get up and sit back which works OK BUT again only for a few minuets. Top of cushion is very slippery.

Questions & Answers
Question : Push and Ride vs. Activity Walker for 6 month old baby toys.?
My son is just over 6 months. He has been sitting on his own for nearly two months, and pulling up to stand for 2 weeks (though wabbles and needs something to steady him. I wonder if these toys are appropriate. It says 6 months/9 months and up on the little tikes push and ride/acticity walkers. Also I am looking for some simple and inexpensive developmental toys. We have a play gym and activity jumper but he gets bored. These days he just sits down, leans forward and pushes with his legs as though to stand up - falls forward on to his face and continues to push with his legs- butt in the air pushing his face along the bed (until he gets frustrated that he can't get far). He is so curious, I want to give him something to foster this curious nature AND let him get mobile. Any toy suggestions and comments on the mobility aids would be awesome! Thanks

Answer:
The push and rides are cool, but at your sons age, they'll move way to quickly out from under him when he tries to use it for support. I suggest a regular old walker for him. Walkers are not dangerous as long as you've properly safety proofed AND have an eye on him at all times!!! An exersaucer would be good too. But... all he really needs to foster his curious nature is your interaction. Seriously, I had every toy under the sun for my son, but his favorite activity (that he got the most out of, I think) was playing with me & and husband. Start reading to him now too. Won't do anything educationally, but it'll get him used to sitting with you while reading for later on. Balls to chase after will aid him in wanting to crawl too :)

 

Question : good conclusion for this essay?
Without proper care of the teeth and the gingiva, periodontal disease could easily take over anyone’s mouth and could possibly mean the end to the teeth. This serious disease can be prevented or treated at an early stage by simply brushing and flossing. Periodontal disease is an infection of the structures that surround the teeth. It begins with food debris and plaque not being brushed or flossed off and they turn into bacteria that worsens and leads to puffiness in the gingiva. Plaque must be taken off the teeth by brushing and flossing twice a day to prevent infection, but it only takes 24 hours for plaque to build up again. A few things that can lower your defenses, and help cause some form of periodontal disease, are: smoking, diabetes, stress, medicine, pregnancy, puberty, AIDS, HIV, cancer, and even diet, to name a few. Soda and certain types of food can also affect the teeth. Gingivitis is the first stage of periodontal disease. Most people do not find out they have this condition until a dentist advises them of it. Signs of gingivitis are: red gums, inflamed gums, bleeding while brushing and/or flossing, sensitive gums, possible bad breath, or bad taste. Gingivitis can easily be treated by brushing, flossing and using a mouth wash and no real pain is usually associated with gingivitis, which means that gingivitis is easily reversible with good oral home care and professional treatment. After gingivitis is left untreated, it can turn into mild periodontitis, moderate periodontitis, and finally advanced periodontitis. With time, plaque can build under the gum line and toxins can spread. The bacteria causes puffiness and redness, which is the body’s way of warning you something is wrong. Signs of these forms of periodontitis are: more pronounced bleeding, longer looking teeth, gum boils, abscesses, periodontal pockets, and mobility of the teeth. When some of these signs are reached, there might still be a chance of keeping the teeth if the person see’s a dentist as soon as possible and gets treatment, but this is when the structures that support the teeth are broken down and pretty much destroyed. After the disease is continually untreated, the teeth may become so mobile that they might have to be removed. This disease can affect anywhere from one tooth to all thirty-two teeth. After the age of 35, three out of four adults have some form of periodontal disease, which can lead to tooth loss. If treatment is needed, a root planing or a scaling might be the procedures to be considered. Scaling is a procedure to remove plaque and calculus around the tooth surfaces and root planing is the smoothing of the tooth surfaces to promote re-growth and reattachment of the gingiva to the tooth.

Answer:
Gingivitis and periodontitis are potentially serious diseases that are easily preventable. Patients/students/people should be aware that these diseases could result in tooth loss. With simple dental care, including brushing and flossing regularly, periodontal disease is easily preventable, and mouths and teeth everywhere are happier.
