Rochester, Minnesota - There are many causes of bad breath, also called halitosis. Your mouth may be the source. The breakdown of food particles and other debris by bacteria in and around your teeth can cause a foul odor. If your mouth becomes dry, such as during sleep or after smoking, dead cells can accumulate and decompose on your tongue, gums and cheeks, causing odor. Eating foods containing oils with strong odor such as onions and garlic, can lead to bad breath. Foul-smelling breath also may be a symptom of illness, such as lung disease, diabetes or liver failure.

Yuma, Arizona - When your child is close to age 5, or they have reached the maximum height or weight limit for their forward facing sea with a harness, your child is now ready for a booster seat. Keep your child in a booster seat until the child is big enough to fit in a seat belt properly. For a seat belt to fit properly the lap belt must lie snugly across the upper thighs, not the stomach. The shoulder belt should lie snug across the shoulder and chest and not cross the neck or face. It is also very important to make sure the child’s knees are bending at the edge of the seat, and the feet are touching the ground. If not, the child tends to slouch forward and the lap belt will not be in the correct position.
