Brits Petrified of Dentures

Britons are afraid of wearing dentures in their old age. However, more than half of them don’t know how to care for their own teeth properly.

Around a third of us [Britons] never use dental floss to clean between our teeth while the 61 per cent of people who regularly drink fruit juice or smoothies didn’t know that their high sugar content could be damaging. Coffee and wine also affect our dental health by eroding and staining tooth enamel.

Keep on top of dental matters and keep those pearly whites for the long haul.

China Polishes up Bad Breath

China has made a superb effort at putting on the biggest and best Olympics. Much construction has been done and many improvements have been made. These improvements are not only to how things look, but to the whole way that Chinese people act.

Amongst the do and don’ts in the etiquette handbook published by the Chinese government are smiling in public, not shaking hands for more than three seconds and thick-legged women wearing dark stockings.

Bad breath has been targetted, with taxi drivers being encouraged to hold the garlic.

Residents have also been told to stand in line at bus stops and not spit in public places. Taxi drivers too have been advised to go easy on the garlic to control bad breath. And everyone has been encouraged to learn the English language.

Look forward to rosy-mouthed cabbies in Beijing.
