Regular brushing & flossing everyday is the best way to avoid cavities and keep your teeth healthy.
Buy good quality brushes with soft, round and polished bristles and a curved head, prreferably having an ADA label.
Change your toothbrush every 3 months, or when the bristles wear out.
If you still don't want to brush and floss after eating, swish some water in your mouth to flush food particles away fom your teeth, thus preventing cavities.
Don't let your baby fall asleep with the milk bottle in her mouth. It will severely affect her primary teeth, Instead, replace it with a bottle of water just as the baby is falling asleep.
Don't keep snacking all day. Time your food and snacks.
Cheese is great for your smile. Chew a piece of cheese after your meal. The cheese stimulates saliva in your mouth, and helps wash away sugars from your mouth.
Clean your teeth with toothpicks.
If you suffer from acidity, take antacids as the acids erode the tooth enamel and cause increased tooth sensitivity.
Drink your cola, fruit juice and beverages with a straw to avoid contact with your teeth.
After all precautions, if you still have a pounding toothache, it's time to visit the dentist.

What is a Home?

A world of strife shut out, a world of love shut in

A place where the small are great, and the great are small

The place where our stomachs get treated best

The centre of our affection, 'round which our heart's best wishes entwine'

The father's kingdom, the mother's world and the children's paradise

The place where our stomachs get three square meals a day and our hearts a thousand

No man is poor who has a home to come to.
