The
north-west thinks Kate Moss has the least attractive celebrity smile
IT'S
National Smile Month (13 May 2007 to 12 June 2007) and to celebrate, Wisdom
has released some interesting research into the nation’s favourite
smiles. The study reveals that people from the North-West think Kate Winslet has the most attractive smile with 22% of the vote, closely
followed by Cameron Diaz (18%) and Kate Moss lagging behind with
only 1% of the vote.
When it comes to
smiles, 79% of North-West individuals aren’t looking for perfection
but want a good set of well cleaned teeth. As we grow older the
smile is still important: Interestingly 46% of people from the
North-West are more concerned about their teeth rotting than getting
wrinkles (23%) or going grey (7%).
Rather more
shockingly, some men seem not to care about their smile with 1 in 10
admitting they spend less than 30 seconds a day brushing their
teeth. On the whole, most of the North-West populace (43%) deserve a
pat-on-the-back for spending the recommended 2-5 minutes. Luckily
Brits across the country do also seem to be aware of the importance
of thorough cleaning – with 64% stating that cleaning between teeth
is most important when brushing.
Dr. Mervyn Druian from the London Centre for Cosmetic Dentistry
says:- “It’s great to see that most Scots are spending the
recommended two minutes twice a day cleaning their teeth. However,
we need to make sure that people clean effectively between their
teeth as well. I recommend using a soft filament brush so you don’t
harm your gums and brushing in circular movements. Also floss at
least once a day before brushing.” |

"WE want to invite any of your readers aged between 16 and 25 years
to consider signing-up for the experience of a lifetime
CSV, the UK’s largest volunteering charity has teamed up with Tesco
and the youth volunteering charity v to recruit 20 full-time
Community Catalysts to lead voluntary projects at 20 different
locations.
The Community Catalysts will get involved in identifying and
creating projects that can benefit local communities from setting up
a youth club, decorating a school or helping out in an old peoples’
home. They may even identify a grot-spot that needs to be
transformed. The Catalysts will learn new skills in project
management, media and marketing and will play a vital part in
inspiring other young people to take part in the projects that they
set up.
Some of the CSV Community Catalysts will have an opportunity to live
away from home while others may prefer to live at home if they are
located close to one of the 20 projects.
Training and support will be given by CSV while there will be help
available with accommodation and living costs.
Anyone interested in becoming a Community Catalyst or other
full-time volunteering opportunities with CSV can go on line at
www.csv.org.uk
or call CSV on 0800 374 991.
The deadline for applying to become a
Community Catalyst is 8 June 2007." Yours sincerely,
Sue Farrington.
