    sad i might need a root canal

    gums generally recede from plaque and calculus (plaque that has hardened due to calcium deposition). The importance of flossing is to prevent interproximal cavities, i.e decay in between teeth where they touch. This causes what is called a Class II caries which decays into your teeth from...

    Extreme oral pain

    key piece of info: you're 25. Soft bristle brush and no need to brush excessively hard, you can ask for a disclosing tab from your dentist or maybe they're available in pharmacies, it stains your teeth wherever there is plaque and you can compare a before and after to see exactly how hard...

    Network Trouble with Battlefied 2142

    How to tell which core an AMD x2 4600 is?

    Wondering how does one do that from the specifications? They seem to have the same speed and bus numbers.... How do we tell whether one is the "windsor" or "toledo" ?? and would one really notice the difference between 1 or the other??
