1. If you are a detail-oriented individual, who loves
helping people and wants a rewarding career with
growth potential, you may wish to become a
health and safety manager.

2. Overall health and wellness is a priority for most of us. Lack of
attention to gums sometimes results in gum disease, which is not
uncommon over the age of 13. Gum disease is a serious condition that
can lead to tooth decay and sometimes tooth loss. It can also be a very
painful condition.
Brush and floss twice a day, and after every meal to help restore gum
health. Use a natural toothpaste that won't irritate your gums.
Massage your gums daily using a tonic oil that contains oils of
eucalyptus, wintergreen and peppermint. Put the oil on a clean finger
and use tight, circular motions to massage your gums.

3. Change your diet. To restore your gum health, eat organic foods and a
diet rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Incorporate flaxseed
into your diet for the omega-3 fatty acids; green tea to help cleanse your
oral cavity; and Vitamin C and Coenzyme Q10 supplements. Avoid
sugar and acidic foods and stop smoking as soon as possible.
Gargle with a natural mouthwash after brushing. Choose a mouthwash
that will kill bacteria but is made with natural ingredients, rather than
chemicals.
Perform a blood-flow exercise twice a day to help restore your gum
health. This exercise consists of biting down gently until your teeth
meet about 30 times to encourage blood flow. For more information

4. The Broselow Pediatric Emergency Tape is one piece of the Broselow-
Luten Color Coding system (B-LPS) that helps nurses, paramedics and
emergency medical technicians to administer medicine and use various
sizes of medical equipment on children according to their approximate
weight and height.
The Broselow tape is the first step in determining the proper dosage of
medication and/or equipment to use on the child.
Place the tape parallel to the side of the child who is lying in a supine
position.
