Dental Care: A Surefire Killer Smile
by: Charlene J. Nuble
A smile freshens up the face better than any make-up can do. A killer smile will make everyone look and stare. You do not have to have a perfect set of teeth but keeping your pearly whites clean and your breath smelling fresh will definitely be life changing.

Brushing your teeth twice a day is an essential dental care. This helps prevent tooth decay and gum disease. The size and shape of your toothbrush should fit the mouth to enable the brush to reach all areas easily. Using a toothpaste containing fluoride is also another tip in dental care for fluoride helps protect your teeth from decay. It is also a vital dental care if you clean between the teeth using floss or interdental cleaners which remove plaque from the in between areas the toothbrush can't reach. This also prevents gum disease.

Brushing the teeth is not as easy as you thought it is. You might not believe this but brushing the teeth is more than brushing the teeth, spitting out the water, and gargling. The following are tips in brushing that will definitely vamp your personal dental care.

• Brush at a 45 degree angle in short, half-tooth-wide strokes against the gumline
• In brushing chewing surfaces, hold the brush flat and brush back and forth
• Tilt brush vertically and use gentle up and down strokes with toe of brush in brushing inside surfaces of front teeth
• Brush the tongue in a back-to-front sweeping motion to remove food particles and freshen the mouth.

As mentioned earlier, flossing is a vital part in dental care and similar with brushing, there is a proper way in doing it. The following will teach you how to floss properly and get that great smile.

• Wrap an 18-inch strand around your middle fingers and hold a one inch section tightly.
• Ease floss between teeth and clean up and down several times while curving around the tooth at the gumline.
• Always floss behind the last tooth and unwind clean floss as your proceed.
• Floss around the abutment teeth of a bridge and under artificial teeth with a floss threader.

It has been said that a person should visit the dentist at least twice a year and that saying is not just a maxim passed from a parent to a child for the sake of passing but in fact is a type of dental care that we all should be responsive. Brushing and flossing will never be enough to keep your pearly whites unbelievably clean and your mouth smelling fresh. Visiting your dentist at least once in six months will ensure that killer smile you thought only existed in commercials.

When you go to the dentist, you get more than cleaning. If cleaning is all you can get from the dentist as dental care, your dentist might be getting more than your money's worth. When you visit the dentist, you actually get a full spectrum of dental care. The full spectrum includes diagnostic, preventive, and educational services specifically and individually designed to help you keep the best possible smile.

The diagnostic part of dental care spectrum includes:

1. A review and update of your medical history
2. A recording of any changes in your prescribed medications and physical condition
3. X-rays for detecting decay, bone loss, and oral diseases
4. An examination of your teeth to detect decay
5. Evaluation of your gum tissues
6. Checking your biting patterns
7. Evaluation of possible cosmetic alterations which may help improve your smile

The preventive service of the spectrum of dental care includes:

1. blood pressure screening
2. Head and neck oral cancer screening
3. Scaling of the teeth to remove all plaque and tartar
4. Polishing of the teeth to remove all stains
5. Polishing of the silver crowns
6. Polishing all silver restorations
7. Flossing
8. Application of fluoride if necessary
9. Referral to a specialist for specific treatment if necessary

The educational service of the spectrum of dental care includes:

1. A tour of the mouth and discussion of the findings
2. Tooth brushing and flossing instructions
3. Dietary discussion
4. Presentation of prescribed dental treatment
5. Updates on what is new in home care products and latest advances in dentistry

Dental care is more than brushing the teeth as you have learned as you read this article. Good oral hygiene is a habit we all should get into to keep that smile a killer that will make you attractive and not scary.

 Don’t Eat the Flu!
 by: Teddy Sun

Every year, there are always families that are embarrassed since all their family members come down with a serious flu bug that seems to be on “unlimited repeat” throughout the whole flu season. They really don’t know what’s wrong with them, but they complain about it all the time.

This is very true of many people, and it’s sad that they do not have the basic knowledge to prevent the flu. We often read reports that say, “Wash your hands before eating.” However, how many really obey this fundamental rule? It’s so simple and basic, yet people forget this healthy policy for themselves and their family. Once one family member gets the flu, there is a very high possibility of spreading it to the whole family. If you don’t want to complain about the flu, you should first ask yourself, “Have I become too lazy?”.

In a public place, parents often put food into their child’s mouth to make sure the child is eating well. It’s love from the parents, but it’s also the source of flu. If that parent has not cleaned his or her hands with hot water and soap before eating, bacteria stays on the hands, and that person—or their child—eats all that bacteria. Ingesting such germs is the best way to catch the flu, just as surely as if you had opened the door for the virus and said “welcome” to the flu bug. People often enjoy delicious food in a buffet restaurant. Many lick their fingers after eating on their way to making a second trip to the buffet line. If that person has the flu, then touches those public ladles, the next person in line uses that ladle and then licks their fingers—“delicious!” But what happens? They get the flu! Isn’t that right?

No one wants to be in bed with the flu or make their family unhappy. Ask yourself: “Who decides whether I get the flu or not?” The answer is simple: You do!We must remember that we always have to protect ourselves as much as possible by any method. Moreover, we are not even for ourselves but also the whole members of our family if we keep that simple goal in mind. We have to prepare everything enough to face the flu seriously. At least, we have to ask ourselves "what's flu exactly?" to make sure that we know it well! Moreover, Is there the other option of protecting ourselves? Think about it.

Don’t eat the flu from now on!
