Also known as gingival resection or gingival graft, this surgery involves removing gum tissue from one part of the mouth and transferring it to the affected area. To prepare for gum graft surgery, periodontists (gum specialists) will perform a full exam, take x-rays (images) of your teeth and mouth, and prepare a treatment plan.

Toasted skin syndrome (known clinically as erythema ab igne) causes a lattice-like rash after long-term skin exposure to infrared radiation or heat. Common causes include using laptops or heating pads, or sitting too close to space heaters or radiators. Though this condition is relatively mild and typically resolves on its own, researchers have linked toasted skin syndrome to certain types of skin cancer. It's important to recognize the symptoms and, when needed, be proactive about treatment.

ilona titova / Getty Images Hypersomnia and narcolepsy are both sleep disorders that cause excessive daytime sleepiness and other changes in natural sleep-wake cycles. "Hypersomnia" actually refers to several sleep conditions that cause excessive daytime sleepiness, including narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia (IH), hypersomnia with no apparent cause. These conditions are often misdiagnosed or undiagnosed, but estimates suggest that IH is far more common than narcolepsy.

Less commonly, COVID can also affect the middle and inner ears, causing dizziness and balance problems (vertigo), hearing loss, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), and pain. You may have a higher risk of developing ear pain if you're between one and three years old, have had a previous respiratory (lung and airway) infection, or smoke.

A daith piercing is an ear piercing in the small cartilage fold above the ear canal. Wearing a stud or ring in this spot is believed to stimulate nerve activity that manages pain and other migraine symptoms. Despite the lack of evidence around daith piercing for migraines, research supports the use of auricular (ear) acupuncture to relieve migraine symptoms. Daith piercings stimulate the auricular nerve, a branch of the vagus nerve that runs from the brain stem through the chest and abdomen.

Inositol is a nutrient that your body naturally produces. It has the same chemical makeup as glucose (sugar). Inositol is available as a supplement and occurs naturally in many foods. It supports insulin function, the hormone that regulates blood sugar. It may also help manage polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), mental health conditions, diabetes, and metabolic disorders, among other conditions. Polycystic ovarian syndrome is a hormonal disorder that can cause growths, or cysts, in the ovaries.
