Here is a little health tip for you. Sensitive teeth can cause a sudden, sharp pain when you brush or eat and drink certain foods and beverages. This may occur when tooth enamel becomes eroded or when the roots of your teeth become exposed. Other dental conditions can also cause sensitivity, including cavities, cracked or chipped teeth, worn fillings, and gum disease. Here are some ways you can reduce the risk of sensitivity. Practice good oral hygiene by brushing your teeth twice daily using light strokes with a soft-bristled toothbrush. Choose a fluoride toothpaste and steer clear of abrasive toothpastes. Floss at least once daily and visit your dentist regularly for checkups and professional cleanings. Limit your intake of acidic foods and drinks like carbonated drinks and citrus fruits since these can gradually weaken and erode tooth enamel. Use a straw when drinking acidic beverages to minimize contact with your teeth and rinse your mouth with water straight afterwards. If you experience persistent or bothersome tooth sensitivity, schedule an appointment with your dentist.
Well, look at that! A joke has just arrived to brighten our day. We’d better check out the joke of the day, called “Qualified on Sight.”
Private Bennett was ordered to report to headquarters for a new assignment.
“We have a critical shortage of typists, so I’m going to give you a simple test. Copy this pamphlet.”
Sergeant Walsh handed him the pamphlet and a sheet of paper, then pointed toward a desk with both a typewriter and an adding machine. Bennett had no desire to become a clerk-typist, so he sat at the typewriter, worked as slowly as possible, and deliberately filled the page with mistakes. When he finished, Sergeant Walsh barely glanced at it.
“That’s fine. Report for work tomorrow at 0800.”
“But aren’t you going to check my typing?”
“You passed before you typed a single word— when you sat down at the typewriter instead of the adding machine.”
