Did you know?
White wine is worse for your teeth than red! It has more acidity and this is what eats away at your pearly whites.
Solution? A quick rinsing with some water from the table will wash a good bit away. Rinse after (or between) sugary or alcoholic drinks for a quick fix. Of course brushing and flossing is best but not always available.

 Brushing and flossing are important, but you have to do it correctly.
Delta Dental offers a step-by-step guide to proper brushing and flossing.
A few exerts:
- Establish a regular pattern for flossing so that you don’t miss any teeth.
- If you have not been flossing regularly, your gums may bleed and be sore for the first five or six days. As plaque is broken up and bacteria removed, your gums will heal and the bleeding will stop.
- Brush your teeth gently using short strokes. Apply just enough pressure to feel the bristles against the gums. If you are squashing the bristles, you’re brushing too hard.

Insurance company Delta Dental outlines the most important things to consider when choosing your brush so your daily cleanings are most effective. Here are the most important guidelines to follow:
- Get a brush with soft bristles. Hard bristles can damage your gums and push back the gum line, making you more sensitive to hot and cold foods and drinks.
- When deciding between a powered and non-powered toothbrush, choose the one that will motivate you to brush properly. Neither type is better at cleaning your teeth, but most people prefer electric brushes because it allows them to be lazier and still get the job done effectively. (I am one of those people.)
- Get a toothbrush with a head about 1″ long and ½” wide. Larger brushes can be ineffective. So long as the brush can clean between one and two teeth at a time, you’re good to go.
Also, make sure you replace any brush as soon as the bristles start to fray. No matter how good that toothbrush was when you bought it, as soon as it starts to wear down it stops doing its job effectively.

Guest post by our gardener, Barb Tewell:
 If this unusually warm weather has you in the planting mood, go on-line and read about growing micro-greens. Easy and delicious and rewarding. You may find you will want to stock up on seeds and do this year round.
As you prepare your gardens and clean up your yards, think about Leaf Mold – most beneficial and easy to make for your beds. Poke holes in black plastic bags, gather small leaves and chop up larger ones (I just mulch them with my mower), dampen, and seal in the garbage bag. Set aside and within 6 months, the matter is ready to use. Put on the garden 3” thick and it becomes a mulch; or work it into the soil as you work the ground.
In the fall just mulch the leaves and spread in the beds where it breaks down naturally and you can work into the soil in the spring.
As you prune your garden herbs you can make an all natural fertilizer. This is taken from Trail’s book, Easy Growing. Place some roughly chopped herbs in a bucket using the ratio of 4 parts water to 1 part herbs and stir well. Set aside but remember to stir several times daily for 3 days. Strain the herbs and either add to your compost pile or around any plants. You can spray the filtered water directly on leaves or add a few cups to your watering can and apply to the roots. I have rosemary and sage to prune and will try this. I am a big fan of hydrolyzed fish emulsion but this looks like a great use of pruned plants before they go into the compost pile.
