Your tooth enamel measures, on average, 5 Months on the hardness scale. (Steel, in its pure form, measures only 4-4.5 Mohs!) However, enamel can easily be chipped or broken, which is why dentists don’t recommend chewing on popcorn kernels or ice.

    Last week, I talked to my dentist about which type of toothpaste he would recommend for me as I am starting to brush my teeth three times a day now to counter against my soda habits. Anyways, it doesn’t surprise me that 14 million gallons of toothpaste are purchases by Americans every year, because I know that I use a lot myself. However, do you know which brand of toothpaste makes up for the majority of that amount? http://www.familyfirstdentistry.com/general-family-dentistry/

    about it and dont use the school’s own site for that eetihr. Moving is not cheap. We’ll pretend you live in AZ now. Keep in mind, gas, insurance, possible car payment (you cant just float around Cali. without a car), living arrangements (that’s a deposit on a place and first months rent, living expenses such as clothes, food, utility payments, school payments and expenses etc. You do need a nest egg of say $4000 to get you started.
