INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you brush your teeth too roughly, over time it can cause your gums to recede. Brushing gently with a soft bristled brush can allow your gums the ability to recover. There are some electric toothbrushes that will give you a warning when you are pushing too hard. If you have a history of brushing too hard, this might be a good product to invest in. If you have receding gums, it may be caused by a lack of basic dental care. If you haven't been brushing, start brushing twice a day. This will minimize the buildup of bacteria and food debris around your gum line, which will allow your gums to grow back. Be sure to use a toothpaste that has fluoride in it. If you really want to keep your teeth clean, begin brushing your teeth after each meal. Flossing daily will remove food debris, bacteria, and plaque build up from between your teeth. This will allow the gums in between your teeth to remain healthy. There are also special picks and brushes that your dentist may recommend for cleaning between your teeth. If you are grinding or clenching your teeth, the force you are creating can make your gums recede. To soften this force and allow your gums to regenerate, start wearing a bite guard. Signs that you are grinding your teeth include a sore jaw or face, chipped or flattened teeth, tooth pain, and an unexplained headache. Many people choose to wear their bite guard at night, when teeth grinding can occur involuntarily. If you are suffering from dry mouth, it can also increase the likelihood that your gums will recede. To increase your saliva production, try chewing sugar-free gum regularly or talk to your doctor about medications that can help increase the amount of saliva you are producing. Saliva protects the gums from bacteria and plaque build up, so having too little of it can impact your gum health.

SUMMARY: Brush your teeth more gently. Brush your teeth twice a day. Floss once a day. Wear a bite guard. Improve your saliva production.

Heels look great with dresses and skirts in particular. When wearing knee-high socks, pick a heel in a similar color to keep your look balanced. For instance, wear black pumps with black knee-high socks. For a cute, classic look, go with a pair of Mary Jane heels, know for their buckled strap. Wear this with your knee-highs for a night out at the bar or going out on a date, for example. If you want a shoe to wear when running errands, going to school, or hanging out with your friends, try pairing flats with your socks. You can choose a simple neutral flat or go with a flat with buckles or studs for added interest. Wear flats in the spring, summer, and fall. If you wear them in the winter, you may slip if walking on snow or ice, as flats are not very slip-resistant. Flats look particularly cute with knee-high socks, a patterned skirt, and a neutral top. Ankle boots look great with knee-high socks for both casual and dressy looks. For instance, wear these with shorts and a tee or with a cocktail dress for a cute, stylish outfit. Ankle boots are a great choice no matter what season. In the winter, you can choose a waterproof or slip resistant option. Wear knee-high socks with a jersey dress and ankle boots with a small heel for a cute and flirty date night outfit. If you want a dramatic statement shoe, try wearing boots that are 23in (5.17.6cm) shorter than the height of your socks. If you'd like, you can scrunch your socks down for a cute touch. This looks great with a stylish dress or skirt, for instance. You can go with a slightly A-line cut for a classic silhouette. Also consider wearing a pair of sheer tights underneath if you want another layer. While wearing knee-high boots is still a bold look, adding another layer keeps your look balanced and toned down.

SUMMARY: Go with a pair of heels for a flirty, dressy option. Wear a pair of flats with your socks for a casual style. Try a pair of ankle boots for a versatile choice. Rock knee-high boots with your knee-high socks for a bold choice.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Your child's arms should be held out in front of them, then moved slowly backward. Ask your child to repeat this motion (front to back, back to front) the whole time. Demonstrate this movement, and encourage your child to try. It may feel more natural to your child to move their arms up and down, but this is not an effective way to tread water and will tire them out quickly. Try pretending you and your child are in the jungle, using your arms to part the vines. The palms of your child's hands should be facing in the direction their arms are moving. When their arms go as far as they can comfortably go toward your kid's back, they should rotate their hands so that the palms face forward while moving their arms toward the front. Ask them to pretend they are parting grass or vines and pushing them to the sides so they can get through. These motions should be done slowly and evenly to conserve energy. Once your kid has mastered the proper arm motions, you can move on to teaching the proper leg motions. Although breathing and arm-only exercises can be practiced standing up, in order to do leg exercises your child will need to sit, lie down, or try other positions. Practicing at a playground is ideal because your kid can be helped into a position where their feet are not on the ground. You can help your kid hang from a horizontal bar or suspended rings on the climbing tower. To demonstrate these motions, suspend your own body off the ground. You may need to maneuver your child's legs for them until they can do the motions on their own. One of the easier leg motions to learn is known as the "scissor kick." To do this, ask your child to move their legs apart (one toward the front and one toward the back) then reverses them. Demonstrate this move for your child. Then ask them to pretend their legs are scissors cutting through a piece of paper. The "frog kick" is a move where your child will bend both legs, with the knees pointed outward. Then they will extend both legs at the same time. Demonstrate this for your child, then ask them to pretend like they are a jumping frog. The most efficient leg motion for treading water is called "the rotary" or "eggbeater." Unfortunately, this move can be difficult. For this one, one of child's legs will make slow clockwise circular motions, while the other leg makes slow counterclockwise motions. Demonstrate this for your kid, then ask them to imagine they are mixing eggs with each foot. Have them try to do each leg independently, and work up to doing both at the same time.

SUMMARY:
Emphasize a front-to-back arm motion. Pay attention to your child's palms. Get your child into a position with their feet off the ground. Try a scissor kick. Do a frog kick. Work up to the eggbeater.
