Article: Take a deep breath and think about how fast the time will go. To think positive thoughts, promise yourself a reward after the experience, like you might do for children.

Think of the person you most trust to comfort you and not make you feel ashamed of your fear. Ask him or her to come to the doctor's office with you and help you stay calm. They can hold your hand, talk you through your anxiety, or just listen to your concerns while you wait. Bringing a childhood comfort toy, like a teddy bear, can also make the experience a lot more bearable. Don't be embarrassed about it do whatever you need to make sure you go through with this shot. You might also listen to music on your phone or iPod to distract you while you wait. You can even do this while you're getting your shot! Tell him or her that you flat out don't like shots. Talking about your fear will both make you feel better and let the person giving you the shot know that they need to be more cautious with you. Ask them to give you the shot in whichever way causes you the least stress. You might ask the provider to count to three before giving you the shot, so you'll know it's coming. Or, you might want to look away and have him give the shot without warning. Understanding how the shot will help might set your mind at ease. Ask the provider to tell you how it will make your life better. You can request a handout with information about the shot, as well.

Article: Peroxide is an antibacterial agent that can clean the entire mouth and gums. To make an oral mouth rinse with it, mix an 8 ounce cup of water with the same amount of hydrogen peroxide. Swish for one minute and rinse. Baking soda may also be used in a DIY toothpaste by mixing a small amount of baking soda with water to make a paste that removes more plaque from your teeth. To use the baking soda paste to safely whiten your teeth, brush for 15 seconds. Because baking soda is a gritty substance, it is abrasive to tooth enamel. The paste should have a runny consistency, so make sure that you mixed in enough hydrogen peroxide. Rub the paste on your teeth for a minute and rinse thoroughly with water. Mash up strawberries for teeth strengthening and whitening if you drink a lot of tea. When mashing, crush four or five strawberries, rub the mixture on your teeth and then rinse with water. A more thorough method for using strawberries is by mixing them mashed up with baking soda, spreading the mix on your teeth with a toothbrush, leave it on for five minutes and then rinse it off. Because strawberries do contain sugar, brush your teeth with regular toothpaste right after this routine. How does something as messy as charcoal whiten your teeth? Activated charcoal often used on poison victims in the hospital, and the same absorbent properties that allows it to bind to poisons in the stomach also lets it pull out stains, bacteria and toxins from the mouth. You should use charcoal once daily, three days in a row, or five days in a row for more severely stained teeth. First, use an old toothbrush, because it's going to get messy from the charcoal, and you don't want to sacrifice your good toothbrush. With the toothbrush placed on a paper towel, put the charcoal powder on the bristles and start brushing. Brush 3-5 minutes, spitting into a cup, rather than the sink, and thoroughly rinse your mouth with water. Dump your cup into the toilet to avoid a mess in the sink.
