This afternoon I was contacted by a mysterious number saying they were with the Cartel and I needed to pay them money or they would kill me and my family.

A man is creepy when he doesn’t meet you halfway, or even pay attention to what you might want and just takes you in like you owe him or like you are an object.

Most girls (or people in general) don’t like to straight-up tell you “Go away,” but they’ll send a number of signals to indicate that they’re uncomfortable or don’t want to talk to you.

Not a lot of people know you can save your tooth if it gets knocked out and it can grow back alive. For example in a fight or (sport)accident. If you don’t follow these steps it reduces the chance of survival of your tooth drastically. When it dies it becomes brown-ish and it has a short life span.

A tooth is a living part of your body. The inner part of the tooth is called the pulpa. The pulpa consists of nerves, blood vessels, stem-cells and this can die. When this happens the lifespan of the tooth is short (around <10 years) and will eventually require an implant or a bridge because it will fall out.
