Time Added For Good Behavior
Think you don't have time to floss? Think again. It turns our that regular flossing may actually buy you some time. According to recent studies, flossing your theeth could add years to your life -- as many as six years if you floss every day, say some researchers.

This makes sense when you consider that scientists have found that the most common strain of bacteria found in plaque can, if it makes it's way into the bloodstream, cause blood clots - blood clots that can lead to heart attacks. Not only that, there is also evidence that this bacteria could lead to lung infections and weakened immune systems. It's becoming more and more apparent that fighting plaque build-up is not just a dental hygiene issue.

You Said It...
Just how important is it to have a nice smile? Well, according to a survey of 1000 adults, both men and women said an attractive smile is the most appealing gestrure in the opposite sex.

In fact, the results showed that, in any social situation, a smile is perhaps the most potent non-verbal means of communication. Confidence, and exciting personality, and health-consciousness were cited as the top three things that a super smile says about a person.

So it's really no suprise that, when asked what feature they would change about themselves if they could, many of the same respondents said "teeth" (second only to "height").
