Teacher: Since you don't know it, there's no point teaching you.Akpos went and came the following day with this conversation. Akpos: Good morning students. Students: Good morning sir. Akpos: Do you know what we are having this morning? Out of fear of the previous day, they said "Yes sir". Akpos: Since you already know, there's no point teaching you again. The third day. Akpos came back to class and asked again. Akpos: Do you know what we are having this morning?

Replace toothbrushes frequently Change your toothbrush every couple of weeks as their bristles can become infested with bacteria and the moisture in toothbrushes serves as an ideal breeding ground for them over time. Frayed bristles are a clear indication that it is high time to get yourself a new toothbrush. Children's toothbrushes need to be changed more frequently, keeping in mind their lower immunity levels.
