In the Dark Ages, there was a belief that replacing a lost tooth with someone else’s tooth would cause the lost tooth to grow back. Strangely enough, teeth that were derived from hanged criminals were believed to be the most effective.

Did you know that you could be the cause of your child's dental problems? If you have poor oral hygiene, you can pass that bacteria along in your saliva - like when tasting your child's food just before feeding.

Did you know that no two people in the world have the same smile? That’s because the arrangement of the teeth in your mouth is as special and as unique as your fingerprint! That unique smile deserves regular care!

If you have been ill with a cold, the flu, or any bacterial or viral infection, you should replace your toothbrush once the sickness has been diagnosed, and as soon as you have recovered, even if it has only been a few days. Germs can linger and transfer, creating additional medical problems.

Contrary to what you may have heard, there is not a genetic connection when it comes to healthy teeth. There is only one thing that ensures good (or bad) oral health and that is proper care and regular visits to the dentist.

This was shared on a Covid survivor group...have heard many of these before but it seems helpful: HOW TO FIGHT COVID AT HOME No one ever talks about how to fight Covid at home. I came down with Covid in November. I went to the hospital, running a fever of 103, a rapid heart beat, and other common symptoms that come with Covid. While I was there they treated me for the high fever, dehydration and pneumonia. ... The doctor sent me home to fight Covid with two prescriptions - Azithromycin 250mg & Dexamethason 6mg. When the nurse came in to discharge me, I asked her, "What can I do to help fight this at home?" She said, Sleep on your stomach at all times with Covid. If you can’t sleep on your stomach because of heath issues sleep on your side. Do not lay on your back no matter what because it smashes your lungs and that will allow fluid to set in. Set your clock every two hours while sleeping on your stomach, then get out of bed and walk for 15-30 min, no matter how tired or weak that you are. Also move your arms around frequently, it helps to open your lungs. Breathe in thru your nose, and out thru your mouth. This will help build up your lungs, plus help get rid of the Pneumonia or other fluid you may have. When sitting in a recliner, sit up straight - do not lay back in the recliner, again this will smash your lungs. While watching TV - get up and walk during every commercial. Eat at least 1 - 2 eggs a day, plus bananas, avocado and asparagus.These are good for Potassium. Drink Pedialyte, Gatorade Zero, Powerade Zero & Water with Electrolytes to prevent you from becoming dehydrated. Do not drink anything cold - have it at room temperature or warm it up. Water with lemon, and little honey, peppermint tea, apple cider are good suggestions for getting in fluids. No milk products, or pork. Vitamin’s D3, C, B, Zinc, Probiotic One-Day are good ideas. Tylenol for fever. Mucinex, or Mucinex DM for drainage, plus helps the cough. Pepcid helps for cramps in your legs. One baby aspirin everyday can help prevent getting a blood clot, which can occur from low activity. " Drink a smoothie of blueberries, strawberries, bananas, honey, tea and a spoon or two of peanut butter. We always hear of how Covid takes lives, but there isn't a lot of information out there regarding how to fight Covid. I hope this helps you or someone you know, just as it has helped me. Copy and paste please.

Sharing from a friend... Are you curious if the cold or flulike symptoms you experienced was actually the CV? Were you knowingly exposed to someone and nervously held your breath for 7-14 days? I know how to settle you curiosity under the guise of being a good person! LifeStream is testing for CV antibodies and all you have to do is give a pint of human motor oil in exchange. It’s that simple.... Your ability to save a life is now TWO-FOLD! The blood shortage is real, so your willingness to drain some vein juice will absolutely save a human. If you have the CV antibodies your role as a superhero makes Superman look like a pantyhose-wearing chump. The antibodies from plasma donors are saving lives. Even if your tiger blood doesn’t contain the CV-busting antibodies you’re still flexing your hero muscles for someone clinging to life. Give 100%! Wait, this saying should never apply when referring to blood donations. Just give.

Can you guess another use for dental floss apart from keeping teeth clean? Well, in 1994, a West Virginia prison inmate used the dental floss to break free. He braided dental floss into a rope, scaled the wall, and escaped!
