@Chrissy Page - I'll let you know when I've tried it Its popular, supposed to bring shine to dry hair, you smooth onto hair when dry - watch this space .................
@Chrissy Page , I never had a problem until I went to a dentist for the first time four years ago. After that is when I tried sensodyne, but it didn't help. That's when I chose a different dentist, and she gave me the prescription. The new dentist said I had more than likely picked up an infection from poorly cleaned dental tools. @Patsy Faye , I have always had long hair, and it is dry. When my boys were young, the rivers, lakes, and beaches were the best and cheapest way to entertain them, but it would turn my hair into straw. My grandmother had the same kind of hair, and she tipped me off to putting mayonnaise on my hair and heating it with hot towels or a hair dryer. But you really have to shampoo your hair extra well to get all the mayonnaise out. Nowadays I use clarified coconut oil, although I don't think it works any better, it sure does smell better.
@Yvonne Smith , I never feel glycerin adhering to my teeth, it's water soluble and rinses easily. You don't need to use a ton of toothpaste on your toothbrush either. A little is enough. The toothbrush does most of the work and flossing. I hate flossing because I have tight teeth, no space. Not fun or easy but necessary.
@Ina I. Wonder , I guess that's possible but the infection should be long gone by now. I do know that other toothpastes irritate me but sensodyne doesn't.
I did not know about soap for brushing your teeth...it's interesting, but not for me. After seeing some commercials on television about ProNamel I bought some on sale locally on sale for a 4 oz. is 4.89 so it's not so bad. As I got older I learned about good teeth care. I need some implants and if you're lucky you can get it free at cosmeticdentistrygrants.org. ( http://www.cosmeticdentistrygrants.org/CosmeticDentistryGrants/ ). We still can't get the grants locally in Hawaii even if I introduced it to HDS and some dentists. That's life I guess
Soap tastes so horrible though, I don't know how you could ever get the taste out of your mouth! I mean I could go along with the baking soda thing, but I think I am going to draw the line at brushing my teeth with soap, no matter how good it might be for your teeth. Just the idea of it seems really distasteful. I think I am going to stick with toothpaste.
Implants are expensive and it's pretty major surgery. I think they're about $5,000 an implant. When my son in law decided to start doing implants at his dental practice he had to take the course. I remember when he was at the clinical phase he would fly to the Dominic Republic and do implants on the people there for free. They must have a program or something. It's like going to a Dental school to get cheaper dental work done. They have to do a certain number of procedures Before they can graduate. It's cheaper and you'd think because it's students just learning that it might not be As good work but it's almost better because a professor checks every step. It takes a little longer but the savings are big. You have to be a good candidate for an implant, they can fail if the bone isn't strong enough.
I'm pretty sure if my kids believed the hype about fluoride they would not allow their children to use toothpaste with it. In fact if I remember right they probably even got a fluoride treatment on their baby teeth. I think it's a common procedure done now by dentists.
Yeah dental implants are very expensive here too. I've searched for inexpensive dental implants locally...no such luck. What your son in law does there's no such thing here yet, but we have student hair cutting. I hope that dental implants become insured too...so far no luck and you pay out of pocket for it all on your own. Dental implants and other so called cosmetic medical procedures is labeled as cosmetic, so it's not insured...too bad for it's really needed...well we can but hope and plug away at the Congressional level to get it all insured.
Yep, cosmetic stuff is never covered unless it's to fix something terrible but not for vanity reasons. I can just see medicare paying for Botox.
