Not only do the 32 nuggets in your mouth help you talk and chew, they can make or break your appearance. Here are 10 secrets for keeping your pearly whites in tip-top shape.
9. Brush your teeth when you first get out of bed and before you get back in at night. They're the two most crucial times, says Kathleen W. Wilson, M.D., an internist at the Ochsner Health Center in New Orleans and author of When You Think You Are Falling Apart. That’s because saliva (which keeps cavity-causing plaque off teeth) dries up at night, so it’s best to have all plaque cleaned off the teeth before sleep. It’s also important to brush first thing in the morning to brush off plaque and bacteria (morning breath!) that may have built up as you slept.
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.

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.
