Series: Teeth Whitening Techniques: How to Whiten Teeth at Home

Summary: Many people today want a whiter, brighter smile. Some of us can achieve it with proper oral hygiene—regular brushing, flossing, and using mouthwash. Some of us need a little extra help to get our yellowing teeth to return to the land of sparkling white, especially us smokers and coffee drinkers. There are a number of products out there that will help turn our teeth a few shades whiter, including bleaching agents and toothpastes that contain whiteners. For some, these do the trick; for others, over the counter solutions are often hit and miss, with temporary results.

In this free video series on teeth whitening at home, learn the proper way to get a brighter smile, from a dentist. Our DDS will explain the differences between a store-bought whitening kit and a dental one, as well as introduce an in-office procedure that can help with tooth staining and seriously yellowed teeth. Learn about getting custom fit bleaching trays to help maintain healthy gums and still get the desired results. Also get tips on dealing with fillings, crowns, and root canals, post-whitening tooth sensitivity, ways to avoid staining your teeth, and how to practice good oral hygiene at home. Smile!

Series: Dental Care Tips: How to Maintain Healthy Teeth and Gums

Summary: Oral hygiene methods are instilled in us from early childhood, as we learn to brush our teeth and prevent against cavities. As we grow older and into our adult permanent teeth, and begin seeing dentists on our own, without our parents' urging, we realize that there is much more to consider in terms of dental health and oral hygiene that the ubiquitous cavity. Adult teeth and mouths are prone to a variety of diseases, problems and issues that can lead to very serious (and painful) consequences if not cared for properly and prevented with good, consistent care. Gingivitis, gum disease, tartar and cavities can lead to tooth decay, chipping and the need for serious work at the dentist, in some cases root canals, tooth removal and eventually dentures if proper care and upkeep isn't maintained.

In this free video clip series, our expert will explain everything you need to know to take good care of your teeth, mouth and gums in order to protect against cavities, gingivitis and other types of mouth disease that can lead to more serious issues. Learn the correct way to floss your teeth, good teeth-brushing techniques, tips for choosing a toothpaste, and information about the frequency with which you should visit your dentist, and much more.

Dental Care - Gum disease



Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease is a serious condition that could lead to lot's of problems in your mouth.

Symptoms of gum disease

  • Bleeding gums
  • Swollen and tender gums
  • Gums that have pulled away from teeth
  • Bad breath that won't go away
  • Loose teeth

Not all these symptoms appear when you have gum disease. Some victims don't develop any symptoms at all. That's why it is important to keep up with your regular dental visits for cleaning and inspection.

A good regime of oral hygiene is also a preventative measure.

Gum disease can be prevented and treated. If you have gum disease, visit your dentist who will begin treatment and possibly reverse the damage caused by gum disease.

Certain people are more susceptible to gum disease. Factors that could increase the risk of developing periodontal disease include;

  • Poor oral hygiene
  • Chewing tobacco
  • Diabetes
  • Pregnancy
  • Crooked teeth
  • Bad fillings
  • Improperly fitted tooth bridges
  • Oral contraceptives
  • Steroids
  • Cigarette smoking

Dental Care - Getting your child to brush teeth



All parents know how much of a task it is to get a toddler to clean their teeth.

Parents must by all means be creative in finding ways to make tooth brushing a fun activity for your kid.

Brushing tips - Your toddler will love to have his or her own toothbrush and mimic you while you brush your teeth together. Brushing at the same time with your toddler provides motivation, makes it fun and gives them the chance to learn from you. Take turns to brush for each other!
You.
You will have to do most of the brushing yourself before a child has the coordination to do it alone.

Story telling or singing helps sometimes. Engage your toddler with a fun story while you brush their teeth and you will be finished with the brushing before they know it.

Reward you child each time they agree to have their teeth brushed. Avoid rewards like candy or sweet stuff. Identify your child's favourite activity, like a game, coloring or a favourite book. Then participate with them as a reward. This habit can be a motivation for your child to brush.

Talk to them about the importance of brushing teeth. Go to the computer and show them pictures of teeth with decay and cavities. Explain how their not willing to brush can lead to that. I have come to know that children are very smart and they do understand more than we think they do.

Please find a Pediatric dentist who will provide you with more information and guidance in keeping your child's teeth healthy.

Please leave a comment and suggest tips on how to get children to brush their teeth. Every parent knows what worked for their child and we can all benefit from each other.

Thank you for your contribution.

Dental Care for your child

I cannot emphasize enough the importance of making sure your child receives quality dental care right from day one. Parents, your infant and toddler is counting on you on this!

Use a wet, clean washcloth to clean your infant's gums atleast twice a day. Take your child to a dental care provider as soon as the first teeth emerges, usually at six months of age to one year.

I know some dentists will not see your child until they are of age three but experience has taught me better. Please find a dentist as soon as those first teeth are visible. Doing this will reduce the number of dental problems as your child will encounter in the long run.

Your child will receive the most appropriate dental care when you make informed decisions with the dentist of your choice.

Pediatric dentists are primary care providers, as recognized by the American Dental Association.

Dental Plans that require a referral to a pediatric dentist only after an unsuccessful visit to a general dentist are not in your child's best interest.

When offered a choice of dental plans, know what services the plan does and doesn't cover before you enroll! make sure you can select a pediatric dentist as your child's dental care provider.

The Sidus Method

Introduction.

I first started trading when I was 15. I was fond of the stockmarket, but due to my limited capital I could only buy one share. When I eventually choose the stock I wanted, It didn’t go up or down. It just kept bouncing around. In the end, I sold the stock with a 5% loss.

I was still following the stockmarket, but I decided for myself I needed something more volatile with more leverage. I discovered options, futures an CfD’s. But they still were to unpredictable.
Eventually, I found my holy grail: Forex. I read all what I could read about it and made some first profits.

I discovered the power of something as simple as the BGX system or Vegas.
I started studying these methods more closely and realized that these simple models could make you very profitable in the long run.

Over time, I started to adapt the systems with my onw rules. The biggest advantage of the Sidus Method is that it is not necessary for adding extra filters. Whipsaws will occor, but less frequent. This system made my trading very profitable as it easy to understand, easy to implement and easy to find the right entry-points.


SIDUS

What do you need?

- 1H (of 30MIN, but you wil get wore whipsaws) candlesticks/bar charts
- 18 EMA & 28 EMA (put them in red)
- 5 WMA (in blue) & 8 WMA (in yellow)

The 18 EMA & 28 EMA are two red lines who form a tunnel, these will help you to determine the start of a trend and the end of a trend. Long term

The WMA & 8 WMA will show you when to enter a trend, they will also help you to see the strenght of the trends.  Short term

Entry Signals

- You should only open a position, when the red tunnel is extremly narrow or crossed !

LONG: 5 WMA & 8 WMA cross the red tunnel upwards.
If the 5 WMA also crosses the 8 WMA upwards, then the signal is extra strong.

SHORT: 5 WMA & 8 WMA cross the red tunnel downwards.
If the 5 WMA also crosses the 8 WMA downwards, then the signal is extra strong.

Exit Signals

Signals that show the end of the chosen trend:
- Long: The price has reached a top and 5 WMA dives under 8 WMA  Close position
- Short: The price has reached a bottom and 5 WMA jumps above 8 WMA  Close position

Always close your position when boundry’s of the red tunnel cross eachother or when they become so narrow that they are one! This is a clear sign of a trend reversal. After you see this, close your position and open a new postion in the other way (If you were long, close, open a short postion)

When in a trade and the 5 WMA & 8 WMA cross the red tunnel -> Pay attention! As long as the red tunnel boundy’s doesn’t cross eachother there is no problem, but often this is a sign that they will!
