How do I choose my toothpaste?
The recommended toothpaste is the one that contains fluoride. However, if you are getting your dose of fluoride through the water you drink, you can use any toothpaste you like. If your teeth are sensitive, ask your dentist to prescribe an appropriate toothp[aste for sensitive teeth.

One of my teeth seems to have moved a bit away from the socket. What should I do?
If your tooth has not moved because of an accident, use your finger to push the tooth in. After you have move the tooth to its right place, old your teeth together in a biting posture so that the tooth stays at its place. See your dentist next so that the tooth is fixed properly.
Make sure you do not press too hard while pushing the tooth in its place.
