Sensitivity pastes can dull the pain felt in your teeth, especially when this involves any root dentin that may have become exposed in your mouth. These pastes frequently desensitize the tooth by creating a plug made up from a tin compound that works as a barrier substance over the exposed dentin. This will provide immediate relief, but since the underlying problem has not been addressed, more damage can occur and result in more problems elsewhere in the mouth. Sensitivity is better addressed by using xylitol at the end of meals, followed by a period of mouth resting. This is really a time, after using xylitol, when you do not eat or drink anything for an hour or two. [2025] - Ellie Phillips

The deposit is generally 5% to 10% of the purchase price. If there were conditions in the offer, and these conditions were not met, then the purchaser would be entitled to receive the full amount of the deposit back. If you are purchasing through a private sale and no realtor is involved, never pay the funds directly to the vendor; pay them to your own lawyer in trust. If a realtor is involved, the funds can be paid to the realtors' trust account or your own lawyer's trust account as the situation dictates. [2006] - Douglas Gray

Sweet potatoes can be considered a superfood. They are ranked as one of the healthiest foods on the planet. In fact, they're among the healthiest and cheapest, with one of the highest nutrient-rich food scores per dollar. When picking out varieties at the supermarket, remember that a sweet potato's nutritional content is tied directly to the intensity of its color. The more yellow or orange its flesh, the healthier it may be. Sweet potatoes are healthier than plain potatoes, but if you're going to choose the latter, seek out those with blue or purple flesh. [2005] - Adam Ginsberg
