Dental hygiene tips

/onion/ As the old saying goes, "Ignore your teeth, and they'll go away." Here are some helpful hints for keeping that smile bright and healthy for years to come:

• Maintaining an entire mouthful of 32 healthy teeth can be a daunting task. Instead, just focus on 10 or 12 of your favorites.
• Toothbrush technology has made remarkable leaps in recent years. Select a toothbrush so advanced, you have no clue how to use it.
• If, while flossing, your gums begin to bleed, give them at least six months to heal before attempting to floss again.
• Befriend a tiny African bird with whom you can develop a symbiotic relationship in which he picks fragments of food from your teeth.
• Avoid patronizing dentists who received their degrees from the University Of Berlin Dental School between 1932 and 1945.
