Food for Thought

Do something kind for someone else today. It doesn't have to be big, maybe bring in your neighbors trash can, treat a friend to coffee, or surprise your partner with a love note. Your kind gesture to another will brighten up their day and perhaps your random act of kindness to someone else will cause a ripple effect of good deeds!

The shocking truth about tooth decay and how to stop the rot

When studies suggest 60% of adults don’t brush their own teeth correctly, maybe it’s time we got right back to basics.

How to brush your teeth properly

Firstly, divide the mouth area into four separate sections and spend 30 seconds on each part.

Angle the brush head to 45 degrees so the bristles face up, and begin with the far corner.

Brush the outside, or ­buccal surface of the teeth – the part others see when you smile.

Use gentle circular ­motions for a count of three seconds per tooth if ­brushing manually.

If you have an electric brush, just hold for three seconds and move it steadily along the gum line. Never “saw” it back and forth.

When you reach your front teeth go back to your starting point and clean the inside or “palatal” surface of each tooth for three seconds each.

Go back to the start for a final time and brush the biting or ­“occlusal” surface. Repeat for all sections.

Spit but don’t rinse – and don’t wet the brush before brushing as residual toothpaste left offers extra fluoride protection.

Wait at least 30 minutes before eating or drinking.
