Teeth

Although dentists can do wonders like whiten, fix, cure, fill or replace teeth, you still have a lot of things to do. Brush, floss, watch what you eat and the medicines you take, and don’t chew on objects, the experts say. An assistant professor in the field of periodontics stated that habitual nibbling on pens, paper clips and other hard objects will bring bad things for your dental health. Those who put things in their mouths tend to insert them in the exact place each time.This causes eventual harm not only to the teeth but also on the gum line because the force on chewing makes the teeth stray from its place in the gum line.

The 1973 Skylab space expeditions were the first series of manned flights into earth orbit and during this time astronauts made use of different modern dental equipment while in space. Adequate dental care became part of the in flight medical support system or IMSS developed by the military dentists at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration or NASA mainly for the Skylab missions. Modern dental equipment during the Skylab missions served the three man crews for each of the three flights that were launched with each flight lasting about 4 to 8 weeks on the average.
