Look After Your Teeth More (Tips For Healthy Teeth)

Here are some tips to help you look after your teeth.

  1. Brush at least twice a day. The best time to brush teeth is after meals. Choose a toothbrush with a small head for better access to back teeth. Soft bristles are kinder on your gums. How To Brush Your Teeth Correctly
  2. Use fluoridated toothpaste. Fluoride helps to harden tooth enamel and reduces your risk of decay. How To Floss Your Teeth Correctly
  3. Brush thoroughly. Tooth brushing should take between two and three minutes.
  4. Floss your teeth daily. Use a slow and gentle sawing motion.
  5. Limit acidic drinks like soft drinks, cordials and fruit juices. Food acids soften tooth material and dissolve the minerals in tooth enamel, causing holes (cavities or caries). In severe cases, teeth may be ‘eaten’ right down to the gum.
  6. Limit sugary foods. Bacteria in dental plaque change sugars into acids.
  7. Protect your teeth from injury. Wear a mouthguard or full-face helmet when playing sports.
  8. Try to save a knocked out tooth. If possible, hold the tooth back in place while you seek immediate dental advice. If this is not possible, wrap the tooth in plastic or place it in milk and seek dental advice immediately.
  9. Avoid using your teeth for anything other than chewing food. If you use them to crack nuts, remove bottle tops or rip open packaging, you risk chipping or even breaking your teeth.
  10. See your dentist for regular check-ups. You should also visit your dentist if you have a dental problem such as a toothache or bleeding gums.

Why Diary Products, Carbohydrates, Chocolate and etc..Cause Acne??

1. Carbohydrates: One study found that people who frequently consumed added sugars had a 30% greater risk of developing acne, while those who regularly ate pastries and cakes had a 20% greater risk.                                      This increased risk may be explained by the effects refined carbohydrates have on blood sugar and insulin levels. Refined carbohydrates are absorbed quickly into the bloodstream, which rapidly raises blood sugar levels. When blood sugars rise, insulin levels also rise to help shuttle the blood sugars out of the bloodstream and into your cells.However, high levels of insulin are not good for those with acne. Insulin makes androgen hormones more active and increases insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1). This contributes to acne development by making skin cells grow more quickly and by boosting sebum production.On the other hand, low-glycemic diets, which do...

10 foods that can damage your health and body

1. Fruit Juices The fruit juices you find at the supermarket aren't always what they seem. They may have small amounts of real fruit in them, but often they are little more than water, artificial flavor and sugar. But  even if  you're drinking real fruit juice, it is still a bad idea . Fruit juice is like fruit with most of the good stuff removed. All that is left is the sugar and a few vitamins. Orange juice, for example, contains the same amount  of sugar as Coca Cola. There's no fiber in it, no chewing resistance and nothing to stop you from downing massive amounts of sugar in a short amount of time. Eating too much sugar is associated with all sorts of diseases. These include obesity, type II diabetes, cardiovascular disease and many others. It is much better to avoid fruit juices and eat real fruits instead. 2: Milk It may do a body good, but your skin? Not so much. Especially the skim variety. "Milk can be full of growth hormones and growth fac...
