Quotes of the Day

Root sensitivity is most often a symptom of gum problems, but it is usually felt as radiating pain in teeth, especially as you breathe or drink something hot or cold. Tooth roots are not good candidates for fillings, and sensitivity toothpaste will only cause additional discomfort, including a furry feeling on your teeth or the sensation of a dry mouth. My suggestion is to avoid peroxide, whitening products, oil pulling, or baking soda, which may lead to recession. Sensitivity will disappear naturally as your gum and tooth health improves. [2018] - Ellie Phillips

The most strategic way to approach a female in a social setting: Walk toward her in full view if possible, and stand close enough to talk, but not too close. Keep a respectful distance, yet one that permits easy conversing. The precise distance will vary depending on the room size, the crowd, the situation, and certain other variables. [2006] - Leil Lowndes

A rinse like chlorine dioxide is very useful, because it will create oxygen in the small spaces where periodontal bacteria live. Many rinses today are acidic, with a pH low enough to damage root cement and even tooth enamel. The only acidic rinse that is safe for teeth is one containing dilute sodium fluoride, since the benefits of the fluoride are enhanced in a slightly acidic solution. Acidic rinses are particularly damaging in a dry mouth. I believe everyone should check products they use regularly, possibly using an inexpensive pH-testing meter. [2018] - Ellie Phillips
