Twelve Tips for Safer Winter Driving

your windows and headlights of ice or snow before starting out, and repeat frequently throughout your trip. 7. Drive appropriately for the road con- ditions. The posted speed limit may be too fast under winter conditions. Driving on a wet road can cause hy- droplaning as a thin barrier of water builds up between your tires and the road surface, causing your vehicle to slip. If you begin to lose control of your steering, take your foot off the gas. 8. Stay with your vehicle if it breaks down. Put on your emergency  ashers and wait for assistance. Carry a sign for your window, asking other motor- ists to tell the police you need help. 9. Wait out bad weather. Strong icy winds in combination with snow or dust can make it impossible to see where you are driving - or walking. Under these conditions it is usually safest to stay with your vehicle and wait out the storm. 10. Plan your moves carefully. In slippery conditions, never jam on your brakes in a panic stop, you will most likely skid and lose control of the vehicle. In- stead, pump your brakes gently a few times. Driving requires all the care and caution 2. Stay alert. Don't drive when you are vehicle directly ahead of you. As it 11. Avoid driving through deep puddles, possible any time of year.

Well the obvious fact is that with regular dental check-ups, a Dentist helps to keep your teeth and gums healthy. The Canadian Dental Association recommends a visit to your dentist be every six months. This is to maintain the health of your teeth and gums, and it is essential to follow good daily oral hygiene to keep your teeth and gums clean and healthy between visits. A Dentist will carefully examine your overall dental health, as well as your overall physical health. Did you know that Dentists have detected many health issues in their patients that have not otherwise been caught by their physicians? Dentists have saved many lives by identifying diseases such as diabetes, anemia, and even cancer.

So, the next time you’re in to see your dentist, ask questions, be informed, and be aware of what is going on in Your mouth.
