Dental Care
:D

This is not the kind of article that will immediately grab your attention. I mean, it is about gums and teeth so who cares right? Right. So you can just skip this section you've got nothing to lose - but your teeth. *A brush up on brushing
*Are you doing it right?
Let us start from the basics. What is plaque? It is a sticky film of bacteria that keeps forming inside your mouth. Though this bacteria is not harmful in itself, if it is allowed to remain on the surface of your teeth for more than 24 hours, it organizes into colonies and starts producing harmful enzymes.
So the key to keeping teeth and gums healthy is plaque removal. As long as plaque gets removed every 24 hours, the build up process never gets started. The best way to remove plaque is, of course, brushing teeth regularly. How often is enough? If anyone tells you that you should brush teeth after every meal, you can just let it in one ear and out the other. The worst thing you can do to teeth is brush them more than twice a day. Excessive brushing erodes your teeth, causing a breakdown of the entire periodontal structure and is a sure-fire path to a mouthful of crowns by your 40th birthday. So if you feel your teeth are extra sensitive, for example if they tingle too much when you are sipping cold water, it's time you sat up and paid attention.
Use a soft toothbrush and change it often. An old toothbrush may succeed in getting the gunk off your teeth, but if the bristles are rough - which they will be before long, you will be causing more damage than good. :D
