(COLUMBUS, Ohio) – Most bacterial species prefer to live in biofilms, where they are protected from antibiotic treatments and can lead to chronic and recurrent diseases in humans.

Chronic or long-term injuries take weeks, sometimes even months, to develop, but it is the same story: first comes the pain, then swelling. Swelling is a normal reaction of the body to an injury....

Orthodontic separators make room between teeth for orthodontic appliances. Separators are small elastic bands placed between your child’s teeth (Picture 1).

You will likely feel some tenderness or sensitivity for the first few days as your teeth move. The feeling usually goes away. It is normal for your bite to feel different while you have the separators....
