Tooth Decay

So why do so many of us take such poor care of our teeth?
.
You might not be able to tell right away, but neglecting your teeth can lead not only to an unpleasant yellow hue. It can also cause gum disease, rot and, worst of all, can result in losing them altogether.
.
Always make sure you’re brushing twice daily with and flossing straight after. Attend regular dentist appointments.

Also, make sure you quit smoking! We can’t promise you’ll never have to go shopping for denture adhesive, but you can at least stave off the false teeth in a glass by the bed for a while.

Joint Pain
.
“It’s fine!” You might be thinking. “It’s just a bit of an ache! I probably just slept on it funny!” With any luck, that’s exactly what it was, and it will go away on its own.
.
But any pain is the body’s way of telling you something’s wrong. If your joints are aching it can be tempting just to ignore it. It might seem as though it isn’t urgent enough to bother your doctor with.
.
But joint pain can be a sign of something much more worrying. Without getting it checked, a little niggling pain in the joints can leave you with mobility issues or even worse!
If you’re living a healthy active lifestyle, the chances of something being seriously wrong is pretty minimal. But that doesn’t mean that you should neglect your body now and worry about it later.
,
Always check with your GP if you’re concerned about anything. Your body is a temple after all.
