We were talking about careers and studying opportunities. And the next day we supposed to wake up at 8 and go for a first parade. Yes, we suppose to reveille at half past five but we didn’t. We woke at half past seven but collaspe back onto our horrible spring beds as if we slept late at 5. Oh yea, we did sleep at 5.

Dentist check ups are free in government polyclinics if you are serving national service I believe. Polyclinic is just this building that houses a lot of general practioners and some dentists, hahaa... Nafcom: I think it is free for me.

They only pay if you already have periodontosis, so when it is too late! Also they pay only few for denture, if you are lucky, the half of what it would cost.

Since I have got a new dentist in 2004, they recommended getting a Professional Tooth Cleaning. Costs 60 â?¬ per session each, but my whole famliy does it (except grandparents). Has the advantage that I just got around a periodontosis. (my mother got not around that :( ). So I am thankful for that movement to make Professional Tooth Cleanings, over here.The 60 â?¬ each half a year are well invisted! :)It's incredible how much the teeth related medicine improved within the recent 10 years! @Mr Dew: Oh yellow doesn’t matter.

I see it this way: During night, the average human doesn't eat anything, so not much harm for the bacteria level one one's mouth. But when I brush my teeth before breakfast, fine, _BUT_ then you have the bacteria from the breakfast, which can cause holes within 15 minutes! (yup, that is no joke, but sciencetifically proven!), because next time you brush teeth is only mid-day or evening!.The thing is: dentists say 2 times a day, as a child you learn 3 times a day. and it's really better for your teeth to be cleaned after the meal bacteria, i.e. after you are finished with eating than before.

I am the only one that did that after breakfast. I'm just too lazy to brush too early in the morning and only truly get awake after I drink something warm during breakfast. I don't think of brushing teeth before or after breakfast unhygienic or what. It's quite the same to me. The common argument is that I am consuming food when my mouth is unclean because I didn't brush it. I don't have much to argue back I suppose. So long as you brush your teeth, it's good habit already. The guys in the army still find my habit unclean though, but who cares.
