Did you know that baby can swim?!

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div class="MsoNormal"> <span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">                        Many new parents don't realize what natural swimmers their babies are. Until around 6 months, babies placed in water tummy-side down will move their arms and legs in a swimming motion. When the swimming reflex and the dive reflex are both engaged, a baby can then turn on their innate swimming ability. Researchers studying the dive reflex in babies found that none of them inhaled water or choked when they were under water.</span><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglhbbcvodKSTaRUgvnI-TnL5LzjBQ7GlS3rP83NNM2lBIiJl_OXPrwQ6bLALN3B9Iw9EvLLGRoLtotW51gNLzxCvnj3VSuvjTOmZFxy-eX8TKPXZPG8PY7g4YOdWZDl_xmnUU9m99Pz9U/s1600/baby+swimming.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglhbbcvodKSTaRUgvnI-TnL5LzjBQ7GlS3rP83NNM2lBIiJl_OXPrwQ6bLALN3B9Iw9EvLLGRoLtotW51gNLzxCvnj3VSuvjTOmZFxy-eX8TKPXZPG8PY7g4YOdWZDl_xmnUU9m99Pz9U/s1600/baby+swimming.jpg" /></a></div> <span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> The babies didn't seem worried about the next dive at all. In fact, some seemed eager to dive again! These reflexes don't mean the baby can swim unmonitored as they can still drown, so supervision is always required. We also don't recommend taking your baby to a chlorinated pool for swimming classes especially indoor. If you can find a pool whether private or recreational using salt, it's a lot less toxic and better for both you and baby. <o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">When a baby is able to walk, they can even be taught how to survive until help arrives if they fall into the water without the ability to swim.<o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <br /> <div class="MsoNormal"> <span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Watch this video you will be amazed!!<o:p></o:p></span></div> <div id="fb-root"> </div> <iframe width="480" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/KU-LRUc8TSE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> </div>

He or she will ask you questions about the pain, such as when the pain started, how severe it is, where the pain is located, what makes the pain worse, and what makes it better. Your dentist will examine your mouth, teeth, gums, jaws, tongue, throat, sinuses, ears, nose, and neck. X-rays may be taken as well as other tests, depending on what your dentist suspects is causing your toothache.</div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <b>What Treatments Are Available for a Toothache?<o:p></o:p></b></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> Treatment for a toothache depends on the cause. If a cavity is causing the toothache, your dentist will fill the cavity or possibly extract the tooth, if necessary. A root canal might be needed if the cause of the toothache is determined to be an infection of the tooth's nerve. Bacteria that have worked their way into the inner aspects of the tooth cause such an infection. An antibiotic may be prescribed if there is fever or swelling of the jaw. Phototherapy with a cold laser may be used to reduce the pain and inflammation associated with the toothache.</div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <b>How Can Toothaches Be Prevented?<o:p></o:p></b></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> Since most toothaches are the result of tooth decay, following good oral hygiene practices can prevent toothaches.

One should make sure that the food or drink isn't too hot before taking a bite or a sip.

You might need some antiseptics or topical analgesics.<o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">You can take some painkillers such as ‘acetaminophen’ twice a day to get relief from pain on account of the palatal sore.<o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">* Vitamin B-Complex supplements also help speed the recovery process for the sore roof.<o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">If the sore roof is developed due to caner sores, salt water gargles offer relief.<o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Application of fluocinonide gel (Lidex) provides relief for canker sores<o:p></o:p></span></div> <br /> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Orabase – a commercial product for maintain oral health – can also be applied over the affected area in the mouth.<o:p></o:p></span></div> </div>

How to brush your teeth perfectly

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;"> Brushing your teeth is not just for a whiter smile and fresher breath, it's important for your overall health. When you brush, you remove plaque—a thin film of bacteria that sticks to your teeth and will cause cavities, gum disease, and if you ignore it long enough, will cause your teeth to fall out! You know why to brush, but if you would like to learn how to brush your teeth effectively, this article is for you. Read on!</div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0FWr94usBy4Q7_rBqDx20KLiMJNLxOTUp-r-6_gM5B3NlEVqJibEFQPVpAHxkvrqXW9gQZXy3uJZlS5Ir3WS-CizNryDMyd6HKavJyDQQBny-y_OnrckWow3pSDt9X-NGkULPVr0AOp4/s1600/kid-brushing-her-teeth+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0FWr94usBy4Q7_rBqDx20KLiMJNLxOTUp-r-6_gM5B3NlEVqJibEFQPVpAHxkvrqXW9gQZXy3uJZlS5Ir3WS-CizNryDMyd6HKavJyDQQBny-y_OnrckWow3pSDt9X-NGkULPVr0AOp4/s1600/kid-brushing-her-teeth+copy.jpg" /></a></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <b><span style="color: #943634; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 191;">Part 1 of 3: Using the Right Tools<o:p></o:p></span></b></div> <div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"> <b><span style="color: red; font-size: 21.0pt; line-height: 115%;">1<o:p></o:p></span></b></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;"> Use a good toothbrush. Choose a toothbrush with soft nylon bristles. This will effectively remove plaque and debris from your teeth, without irritating the gums or eroding tooth enamel like hard bristled brushes can do. The toothbrush should also fit comfortably in your hand, and have a head small enough to easily reach all of your teeth, especially the ones at the back. If you have difficulty fitting the toothbrush into your mouth, it is probably too big.</div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;"> Electric toothbrushes are a great choice if you are a lazy brusher and think that the electric toothbrush might encourage you to spend more time on your teeth. However, you can do just as good of a job with a manual toothbrush -- it's all in the technique.</div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> You should definitely avoid toothbrushes with "natural" bristles made from animal hair as these can harbor bacteria.</div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"> <b><span style="color: red; font-size: 21.0pt; line-height: 115%;">2<o:p></o:p></span></b></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;"> Replace your toothbrush regularly. The bristles will wear out over time, losing their flexibility and effectiveness. You should get a new one every 3 to 4 months, or as soon as the bristles start to splay out and lose their shape. Visual inspection of the toothbrush is more important than the actual timeline. You can also buy toothbrushes nowadays whose handles will change color when its time to get a new one.</div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> Research has found that thousands of microbes call toothbrush bristles and handles "home," and can cause infections.</div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> Always rinse your brush after using it, and store it upright and uncovered so that it can dry before your next use. Otherwise bacteria will grow.</div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"> <b><span style="color: red; font-size: 21.0pt; line-height: 115%;">3<o:p></o:p></span></b></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> Use a fluoride toothpaste. It not only helps remove plaque, it also helps strengthen tooth enamel.However, it's important to note that fluoride toothpaste is not to be swallowed, as ingesting too much can have serious health consequences.</div> <div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"> <b><span style="color: red; font-size: 21.0pt; line-height: 115%;">4<o:p></o:p></span></b></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;"> Use dental floss. Flossing your teeth is just as important as brushing, as it removes built up plaque, bacteria and food particles that get trapped between the teeth and which toothbrush bristles can't reach. You should always floss before brushing your teeth so that any food or bacteria that comes loose during flossing doesn't remain in your mouth.</div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> Remember to floss gently. Don't "snap" the floss between the teeth as this can irritate sensitive gums. Ease it down gently, following the curve of each tooth.</div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;"> If you find dental floss awkward to use or you have braces, look for dental picks instead. These are small wooden or plastic sticks which you can insert between teeth, achieving the same results as flossing.</div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;"> You can get toothpastes to target a wide variety of dental and gum problems, including cavities, tartar, sensitive teeth and gums, gingivitis and stained teeth. Opt for the one that suits your best or ask your dentist or hygienist for advice.</div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> Source:</div> <br /> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <a href="http://www.wikihow.com/Brush-Your-Teeth#_note-1">http://www.wikihow.com/Brush-Your-Teeth#_note-1</a></div> </div>
