LPT: Don’t rinse right away after brushing your teeth Rinsing right away after brushing will wash away the concentrated fluoride in the remaining toothpaste.

My teeth used to be hurt whenever I drank either hot or cold water. After just two wee…

Improve your accountability by recognizing it in others I used to always find excuses for my mistakes and failures, never taking responsibility for them.
