World Days. There are plenty of them. Not only do we have World Days, we have International Weeks. We also have recognized Years, even aside from the Chinese zodiac ones.

This year is the Year of the Water Tiger, if you’re interested. And you might be if you’re open to what it signifies. It’s an event that happens once every sixty years.

According to lecturer of Chinese at Deakin University, Fengqi Qian, with China the home of many species of tiger, they hold a special place in Chinese culture. While there are generally accepted principles around the symbolism of the Water Tiger, Delia Lin, of Melbourne University’s Department of Chinese Studies, says there are also many characteristics under debate.

It’s all to do with interpretation. Different characteristics involving tradition and personal beliefs are attached; which makes it not so removed from most things in life.

The consensus is certainly its significance as the king of all animals in Chinese mythology and culture. It’s known to be an animal that expels all evil; it symbolises power, courage, confidence, leadership and strength.

Astrologically and energetically, it represents those same aspects.

Its associations are with good luck, vitality, strength, bravery, good health and wellbeing. The flipside is the fear; and the destruction so easily also asserted by the tiger.

Maybe that’s what’s needed for World Cavity-Free Future Day. A respectful fear of the largely unnecessary neglect that leads to the eventual destruction of teeth, ergo good oral health, and therefore overall quality of life, may be the scare campaign we need.

Cavities are permanently damaged areas in the hard surface of your teeth that develop into tiny openings or holes. Cavities, also called tooth decay or caries, are caused by a combination of factors, including bacteria in your mouth, frequent snacking, sipping sugary drinks and not cleaning your teeth well.

Cavities and tooth decay are among the world's most common health problems. They're especially common in children, teenagers and older adults. But anyone who has teeth can get cavities, including infants.

If cavities aren't treated, they get larger and affect deeper layers of your teeth. They can lead to a severe toothache, infection and tooth loss. Regular dental visits and good brushing and flossing habits are your best protection against cavities and tooth decay.

Symptoms

The signs and symptoms of cavities vary, depending on their extent and location. When a cavity is just beginning, you may not have any symptoms at all. As the decay gets larger, it may cause signs and symptoms such as:

• Toothache, spontaneous pain or pain that occurs without any apparent cause
• Tooth sensitivity
• Mild to sharp pain when eating or drinking something sweet, hot or cold
• Visible holes or pits in your teeth
• Brown, black or white staining on any surface of a tooth
• Pain when you bite down

When to see a dentist

You may not be aware that a cavity is forming. That's why it's important to have regular dental checkups and cleanings, even when your mouth feels fine. However, if you experience a toothache or mouth pain, see your dentist as soon as possible.
