2. Chuck your toothbrush or change the head of your electric toothbrush at least every two to three months. Otherwise, you're just transferring bacteria to your mouth. According to Beverly Hills dentist Harold Katz, D.D.S., the best way to brush is by placing your toothbrush at a 45-degree angle against your gums and gently moving it in a circular motion, rather than a back-and-forth motion. Grip the toothbrush like a pencil so you won't scrub too hard.

Are you not able to get help from the State or Government to provide child care for you to be able to work full time? I think there are programs for that especially if you get food stamps or are on the Medicaid program. You might want to check to see if there are programs to help you with your childrens care.

i8dapl, There is a large Baptist Church in our area that has a program with volunteer dentist to help the low income/needy in our area. You might want to check with all the large churches in your area to see if they have the program available. You might also want to check with the local County offices like your County Commissioners, the local Health Department, Catholic Services and the Salvation Army and ask if any of them have any free dental work services available or know of any.

I am a 37 year old mother of two girls. I cannot afford proper dental care for myself. I am only able to work part time because my girls are young, and I don't have family to help. I do, however, every three months get my hair "done" for $25.00every 3 months. I can't get my teeth cleaned for that. I need extensive dental work, I now can only eat soft foods, and I am embarassed by my teeth. If one of your contributing dentists would like to help, my email is evey72@aol.com.
