Dental tip for the day

Probably the most important aspect of tooth brushing is -----How long you brush your teeth. Recent published research indicates that brushing 1 1/2 to 2 minutes is significantly more effective at removing plaque than brushing 30 seconds to 1 minute. This is regardless of whether you use a manual toothbrush or an electric - my favorite. Sometimes 2 minutes seems like a long time- try singing your favorite song or listen to the radio while you brush- Time will fly- stay tuned for the next tip.

vacation in Zihuatenejo

Heaven on earth exists and it is in Mexico. Just got back from zihuatenejo, mexico - or Zihua- as I call it. 7 days of 86 degrees and sunshine. Zihua is 120 miles from Acapulco. It is between Acapulco and Puerto Vallarta on the West Coast of Mexico. Imagine a beautiful bay bordered by sandy beach giving way to mountainous bluffs housing beautiful condos, boutique hotels and fabulous restaurants. Each one has a spectacular view and costs way less than comparable restaurants and hotels in the states. This was my third time there and my wife and I will be sure to go again.
