Massage ... What? New Study Suggests Rubbing This Body Part Increases Health

The #1 most neglected body part? Experts say it needs a little love too! In fact, if you rub it with this, you may even be healthier...

The thing you're not doing for good health? Rubbing your gums--preferably, with a bit of toothpaste.

Huh?

A new Swedish study found that people who gave themselves daily gum massages using a bit of toothpaste (and clean fingers!) increased the fluoride absorption in their teeth/mouth by as much as 400 percent and reduced cavity formation. The key here, though, was leaving the toothpaste on your teeth (and not rinsing) after the gum-and-tooth rubdown.

Whiten Your Teeth Naturally

Teeth-whitening products aren't cheap, which is why I loved learning about the foods that can polish and scrub your teeth and get rid of stains naturally...

USA Today had the scoop on the foods, according to dental experts, that can scrub away stains and keep them sparkling white. The so-called "toothbrush foods" are as follows:

1. Apples and celery: Crunchy fruits and veggies are great for clearing away plaque and polishing the teeth and gums. They also increase saliva productions which can protect your oral health, say experts.
2. Strawberries: Think of them as nature's teeth polishers. Strawberries produce an enzyme called malic acid, which is said to keep teeth white, according to a spokesperson for the Academy of General Dentistry.
3. Cheese: Good news for cheese lovers! Your favorite white cheddar, and other cheeses, contain a type of lactic acid that helps zap tooth decay.

Vanity Fair's TEETH Issue

Fuck the whole "future King and Queen of England" shit, these two really have an amazingly successful career in dental poster modeling ahead of them. Look at all those teefs! So big! So many of them! Prince William and Duchess Kate are straight up teeth hoarders and I don't even mind. This is obviously all part of the royal family's campaign to dispel the stereotype that all Brits have teeth like a meth-ey llama who brushes with a chainsaw. It's working!
