Sensitive Teeth

Way Off Topic 1 Comment »

I feel like I am getting sick, which is the worse feeling in the world. My head aches, I am really congested, and I ache all over. Yep, that definitely sounds like a cold is about to hit me. One of the other side effects of when I’m sick is sensitive teeth. I brush my teeth at least twice a day, so when my gums and mouth are sensitive to cold or the toothbrush it makes me that much more miserable.

I have never tried a sensitive toothpaste before but willing to give it a shot. After using Biotene for a few days, I did notice a difference in the level of sensitivity of my teeth. It seems better, so that is a good thing since brushing my teeth always makes me feel better and I really need those little pick-me-ups when I’m sick.

Biotene also helps with dry mouth. It seemed to help with this as I always suffer from dry mouth after eating pizza. After brushing with Biotene, I didn’t wake up in the middle of the night really needing a drink of water.

The toothpaste itself is much different from what I’m use to. It’s not minty flavored nor does it foam up, so it takes a little getting used to. I kept wanting to add toothpaste to my brush since I wasn’t getting a lot of foam. It still works just using a regular amount of toothpaste each time you brush your teeth.

Biotene sensitive toothpaste has really made this latest cold more bearable since I don’t have to worry about sensitive teeth and gums. Too bad it doesn’t come packed with Vitamin C or who knows, I might not have gotten sick in the first place.


Child’s Play Update

Announcement No Comments »

Child’s Play is a charity that was founded by gamers and has been called the gamer’s charity. Each year, Child’s Play raises money for children’s hospital around the globe. The first year it helped the Seattle children’s hospital and possibly a few others. It really has grown in recent years.

What they do is buy games and toys for children who are in the hospital at Christmas. I had a niece who spent one Christmas in the hospital. The nurses brought her a present to open. It was a coloring book and colors. It really made her day. A little something on Christmas day when you are sick, especially to a child in a hospital, I believe can really help in the healing process.

Gamers have a bad rap for being selfish and never thinking of others, which is the furtherest thing from the truth. So far, Child’s Play has raised about $325,000. Their goal is $750,000.

Romperz has pledged 10% of November earnings from this site to go to Child’s Play. So far, Romperz has donated $10 and hopes to have a stellar end of the month to be able to contribute more.

Child’s Play is a wonderful charity. Click on the link in this post to visit them or click on the banner located close to the bottom of the page.
