Around three-quarters of the world's tigers now live in India, despite rapidly growing urbanization and human populations.

From 2010 to 2022, tigers in India more than doubled from an estimated 1,706 to nearly 3,700, according to a new study published in Science.

The improved situation for tiger populations is due to conservation and environmental protection methods safeguarding them from habitat loss and poaching.

The researchers believe it offers key lessons for other big cat conservation programs around the world.

"Creating human-free protected areas allowed tigers to establish breeding populations from which they dispersed to occupy multi-use forests," said lead author Yadvendradev Vikramsinh Jhala, a conservationist at the Wildlife Institute of India.

From 2010-2022, India's tiger habitat grew by 30% — about 1,131 square miles (2,929 square kilometers) annually.

Tigers are now spread across 53,359 square miles (138,200 square kilometers) in India, an area about the size of England.

Can humans and tigers live side-by-side?

Indian conservationists survey tiger habitats every four years — monitoring the distribution of tigers, their prey, and quality habitat.

Tigers have thrived in protected, prey-rich areas but have also adapted to land shared by nearly 60 million people living in farming communities and settlements outside tiger reserves and national parks.

The study found just a quarter of tiger population areas are prey-rich and protected. Nearly half of tiger habitats are shared with roughly 60 million people.

Wildlife conservationist Ravi Chellam said land sharing between humans and tigers is crucial for the future stability of tiger populations.

"There is an acceptance that large cats can survive and even thrive with people living there. There are challenges, but for the most part, people see the intrinsic values of functional ecosystems which includes tigers," said Chellam.

56 people die annually from tiger attacks in India. But this is a small number compared to other causes of mortality (road accidents kill 150,000 Indians annually).

Jhala said the best model for coexistence between tigers and humans in the land they share requires three things:

Make living with large carnivores profitable for local communities by sharing revenues, ecotourism and compensation.

Removing problem and conflict-prone animals from human areas.

Making changes, such as removing open toilets, ensuring people move in groups within forest areas, proper lighting and housing, and safe stables for livestock.

Other data suggests tiger habitats have shrunk

Arjun Gopalaswamy, an ecologist at Carnassials Global in Bengaluru, India, has been monitoring tiger populations for a decade. He said the study's findings contradict other data that shows natural tiger habitats have shrunk in recent years.

"Earlier reports suggest that tiger distribution areas were significantly smaller — 10,000 to 50,000 square kilometers smaller [between 2006 and 2018]," Gopalaswamy told DW.

"It is challenging to definitively say whether India's national tiger numbers have increased, decreased, or remained stable over the past two decades."

Falling tiger numbers are part of a trend from hundreds of years of tiger hunting and habitat destruction, starting with colonial bounty programs that sought to clear animal predators.

Gopalaswamy said that inconsistent findings have led to conflicting actions on the ground.

"For example, while the Science paper suggests that tigers are expanding into new habitats in India, managers are actively relocating tigers between reserves under the pretext of combating isolation."

Gopalaswamy said that more scientifically rigorous methods of data on tiger populations and habitats are needed for clearer conservation actions.

PROMPT #14: Telling

Ahtyn did not know what prompted her to lift the katana in the Sandsea's basement from its stand, but she knew at once upon doing so that it was much too fine a weapon for her to wield.

It wasn't so much that she could see the craftsmanship that had gone into it, though it was certainly one of the most beautiful blades she had ever laid eyes on up close: she felt its balance with every movement she made. Even the slightest shifting of her own weight between her feet would cause the katana to move accordingly in her hands, as though it could sense her subconscious intentions.

She did not trust herself to hold it safely without causing damage to the rest of the forge, and so she brought it out to the gym for a few practice swings.

The stances she had learned did not return to her readily. Ahtyn had always found physical memory the most difficult to master, and her near decade of practice with longer, thicker, heavier blades only made her study of the katana more obtrusive in some respects. Still, as she lifted the sword over her head, she at once sensed that her back muscles were not in proper alignment: her stance was still too primed for the deck of a boat rather than for the execution of a slice, and her footwork was - and she could still hear Mylla's shout in her head - "a bloody mess at best."

When at last she was certain she could do justice to the katana even the slightest bit, she swung it downward in a diagonal arc, then sideways through the air.

The smith's mark - a unique TK engraved in a bold hand that seemed to Ahtyn at odds with the delicate details intrinsic to the rest of the blade - gleamed against the overhead lights.

"Not bad," came a low voice from behind her.

Ahtyn had not known that anyone else was awake so early in the morning, but a woman leaned against the doorframe that led to the showers, herself freshly bathed. It took a moment for Ahtyn to place her, with her silvered hair still heavy with moisture and devoid of a sky pirate's trappings - but her elegant face was unmistakable.

"You're-" Ahtyn blushed as her memory failed her. "I'm so sorry - we met in Sharlayan during the Final Days; you were coordinating with the Redbills."

"That's right," the woman confirmed. "It's Sigrid."

With that reminder, Ahtyn recalled that she was Sigrid Keane - and that her family had built the house that now served as the Riskbreakers' center of operations in Ala Mhigo.

"Quite alright," the captain continued. "I daresay you were busier than any of us when the sky turned red."

Ahtyn shrugged. "I never did get to thank you for all you did, though."

Sigrid let out a single laugh as sharp as her stare. "Glad to have helped. As it turns out, ordering Leofard around for a day makes for an excellent remedy for despair." She glanced down at a watch on her wrist, though not in a sense that made Ahtyn suspect she was bored. "Radlia contributed to the gathering of adamantite as well, of course, though she'd sooner take a long walk off a short deck than admit it."

"Yeah," Ahtyn said, and found herself laughing as well. "Yeah, that tracks."

As their conversation slowed and died, Ahtyn looked down at the sword in her hands, and Sigrid did the same.

"Have you been studying the katana long?" Sigrid asked her.

"What? Oh, no. Only about a few moons." Even then, she'd put her learning aside throughout her journeys in Tural. "Just wanted to try something new, y'know?"

Sigrid gave a little "mmm" in affirmation. "I'm glad that that one found its way to your hands."

"I'm definitely not keeping it," Ahtyn said firmly. "Not trying to be humble about it, or anything - but it's way too nice for me to be lugging into battle." A mental image emerged, before she could suppress it, of her carrying around Zenos' bag of swords. "And that's without me barely having a grasp on the basics."

Sigrid stepped forward, redirecting the positioning of Ahtyn's hands until her stance felt much more aligned. "You'll get there," she said. "A blade this fine was meant to be used. Its creator always said as much."

Only with those words did Ahtyn remember that Bull had called the sword a Keane masamune. "And… what was his name? Your dad?"

Her eyes widened at the question, but she replied, "Tieger." Again she glanced down at the sword. "He was… I think of him as being born before his time. Especially now."

"How so?"

"He always wanted nothing more than to outfit a hero of the realm. Instead, his work went to Mad King Theodoric. And to a host of other tyrants." She let out a little breath that might have been a laugh. "'The commissions pay far better when they go to gather dust.' His words."

Ahtyn made to return the blade to its sheath, only to realize halfway through the motion that she'd left it on top of its stand.

"Well," she said, and the word hung heavy in the air for longer than she would have liked. "Better to gather dust than blood."

"True enough." Sigrid's face had gone grave, even for the grim smile that had crossed her face. "...Aye. True enough."

How Mining Lights Improve Worker Safety

In the mining industry, safety is paramount, as workers face numerous risks daily, from hazardous terrain to limited visibility in dark, confined spaces. One essential tool that significantly enhances worker safety in these challenging environments is mining lights. Mining lights, such as headlamps and cap lamps, are designed to provide reliable, hands-free lighting that improves visibility and ensures safety. Let’s explore how these lights contribute to worker safety.

1. Enhanced Visibility in Low-Light Conditions

Mining operations often take place in dark, underground tunnels where visibility can be extremely poor. Whether workers are mining precious minerals, conducting inspections, or performing maintenance tasks, having a powerful and efficient light source is crucial. Mining lights provide consistent and bright illumination, allowing workers to clearly see their surroundings, potential hazards, and the equipment they are using.

Headlamps and cap lamps, which are commonly used in mining, offer focused light that illuminates the work area, reducing the risk of accidents like trips, slips, and falls. These lights are designed to offer optimal brightness while minimizing glare, ensuring that workers have a clear view of their tasks without straining their eyes.

2. Hands-Free Operation

One of the most significant benefits of mining lights is that they allow for hands-free operation. Workers can wear headlamps or attach cap lamps to their hard hats, enabling them to keep their hands free for tasks such as operating machinery, handling tools, or carrying materials. This is particularly important in underground mining, where the ability to use both hands for safe navigation and working is essential.

With the use of hands-free lighting, workers can focus on their tasks without being distracted by carrying handheld flashlights or having to adjust the position of a light source. This, in turn, reduces the risk of accidents and injuries caused by improper handling of tools or machinery.

3. Improved Navigation and Emergency Response

Mining lights are also critical in ensuring effective navigation through tunnels and shafts, especially during emergencies. In case of power failure, a mine’s internal lighting system may go dark, but individual mining lights continue to work, providing essential visibility for workers to evacuate or respond to the emergency. Having reliable lighting during these times can prevent panic and ensure that workers can safely exit hazardous areas.

In addition, mining lights often come with features such as adjustable brightness levels, strobe functions, and longer battery life, which are useful in emergency situations where clear signaling and prolonged illumination are needed.

4. Durability and Resistance to Hazardous Conditions

Mining lights are designed to withstand the harsh conditions of a mining environment. These conditions include exposure to water, dust, chemicals, and extreme temperatures. High-quality mining lights are built to be rugged and durable, ensuring that they continue to function even in the toughest environments. Their ability to resist shock, vibration, and impact makes them reliable in preventing equipment failures that could lead to accidents or safety risks.

Additionally, many mining lights are intrinsically safe, meaning they are designed to operate without the risk of igniting flammable gases or dust in explosive environments, such as coal mines. This feature makes mining lights crucial for protecting workers in hazardous settings.

5. Energy Efficiency and Long Battery Life

With extended shifts and long hours of operation, mining workers rely on lights that can last throughout the day or night without the need for frequent recharging or replacement. Modern mining lights are equipped with energy-efficient LED technology that provides long-lasting illumination while using minimal power. The ability to work for extended periods without worrying about the light fading or running out of power helps maintain a high level of safety.

Many mining lights are designed with rechargeable batteries, further improving their sustainability and ensuring that workers have a ready-to-use light source at all times.

6. Compliance with Safety Regulations

Safety regulations in mining environments are strict, and employers are required to provide workers with the appropriate safety equipment, including reliable lighting. Mining lights help companies comply with these regulations by ensuring workers are well-equipped to operate safely in low-visibility environments. Proper lighting is often a key component of safety audits, and failure to provide adequate lighting can result in fines, penalties, or accidents.

Conclusion

Mining lights play a crucial role in enhancing worker safety in the mining industry. By providing reliable, hands-free illumination, they reduce the risk of accidents and injuries, improve navigation in low-light environments, and help workers respond effectively in emergency situations. Furthermore, their durability, energy efficiency, and compliance with safety regulations make mining lights an essential tool for maintaining a safe work environment. As mining operations continue to evolve, so too will the technology behind mining lights, further improving the safety and well-being of workers in these hazardous environments.

A Comprehensive Overview of Bleaching Materials in Dentistry and Dental Bleaching Agents

Over the years, dentistry has seen remarkable advancements, especially in the realm of aesthetic procedures like teeth whitening. Teeth discoloration, often caused by aging, food, beverages, and smoking, has led to an increased demand for effective and safe whitening solutions. This demand has spurred the development of bleaching materials in dentistry, which are used in various whitening treatments to enhance the appearance of teeth.

What Are Bleaching Materials in Dentistry?

Bleaching materials in dentistry are chemical agents designed to lighten the color of teeth by eliminating stains and discolorations. These materials are commonly used in professional dental treatments or as part of at-home products recommended by dental professionals. The most widely used and effective bleaching agents contain either hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide as their active ingredients. These substances work by breaking down the chromogens (stains) on the teeth into smaller molecules, resulting in a lighter, brighter smile.

Hydrogen Peroxide is the primary bleaching agent in many professional treatments, typically applied in concentrations ranging from 10% to 40%. Higher concentrations require supervision by a dentist to avoid potential side effects like tooth sensitivity or gum irritation.

Carbamide Peroxide, which breaks down into hydrogen peroxide, is another common bleaching agent found in dental products. It is often used in at-home whitening solutions and offers a slower, more gradual whitening process compared to hydrogen peroxide. Carbamide peroxide is typically found in concentrations ranging from 10% to 22%.

Types of Dental Bleaching Materials

Dental bleaching materials are generally classified into two main categories: in-office and at-home products.

In-Office Dental Bleaching Materials These are professional-grade bleaching agents applied by a dentist. The primary advantage of in-office treatments is their speed, delivering immediate results. Dentists apply high-concentration bleaching agents, sometimes with the use of light or lasers to enhance the bleaching effect. These materials are carefully controlled to ensure safety and minimize discomfort for the patient.

At-Home Dental Bleaching Materials These products are typically less concentrated than those used in-office. At-home bleaching options include whitening gels, strips, and trays containing carbamide peroxide or lower concentrations of hydrogen peroxide. These products provide a more gradual whitening effect and are favored for their convenience and lower cost. However, their success relies heavily on the patient’s adherence to the treatment plan.

How Do Bleaching Materials Work?

The effectiveness of dental bleaching materials is based on the chemical reaction triggered by hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide. These agents penetrate the tooth enamel and reach the discolored molecules within the dentin. Once inside, the active ingredient breaks down these molecules, neutralizing the stains.

There are two main types of stains that bleaching materials target:

Extrinsic Stains: These surface stains are caused by external factors like food, drink, or smoking. They are easier to treat and respond well to bleaching agents.

Intrinsic Stains: These stains originate inside the tooth, often due to trauma, medication, or aging. Intrinsic stains are more challenging to treat and may require longer or more intensive bleaching procedures.

Effectiveness and Safety

Dental bleaching materials are generally effective in lightening teeth, but the results can vary based on the severity of the discoloration and the type of bleaching agent used. In-office treatments typically offer faster, more dramatic results, while at-home treatments produce a more gradual whitening effect.

The safety of bleaching materials is a key concern for both patients and dental professionals. When used correctly, these agents are safe, but misuse or overuse can lead to side effects. Common issues include tooth sensitivity, gum irritation, and enamel damage, particularly when high concentrations of bleaching agents are used without professional supervision. It is essential for individuals to follow the instructions provided by their dentist to ensure safe use.

Advancements in Bleaching Materials

Recent advances in dental materials science have resulted in the development of more effective and innovative bleaching agents. Some products now include additional ingredients like fluoride or potassium nitrate to reduce tooth sensitivity, while others feature desensitizing agents to minimize discomfort during and after treatment.

Moreover, there is an increasing focus on creating more eco-friendly and biocompatible bleaching materials, addressing both patient safety and environmental concerns in the design of these products.

Conclusion

Bleaching materials have become a fundamental aspect of cosmetic dentistry, enabling patients to achieve a whiter, more attractive smile. Whether used in-office or at-home, these materials are carefully formulated to deliver safe and effective results. As the demand for aesthetic dental treatments continues to rise, innovations in bleaching technology are likely to yield even more efficient products. Nevertheless, it is crucial for individuals to consult a dentist before undergoing any whitening procedure to ensure it aligns with their specific dental health needs.

Achieving a Brighter Smile: The Science, Safety, and Effectiveness of Whitening Toothpastes

The rise in demand for teeth whitening has led to the widespread popularity of whitening toothpastes as an affordable, at-home option to brighten smiles. This article provides a comprehensive look at how these toothpastes work, examining their active ingredients, effectiveness, safety considerations, and practical usage tips. Whitening toothpastes primarily target surface stains, relying on mild abrasives like hydrated silica and calcium carbonate to polish teeth and remove discoloration, while chemical agents such as hydrogen peroxide, carbamide peroxide, and sodium tripolyphosphate break down stain-causing molecules. Additionally, natural enzymes like papain and bromelain help manage protein-based stains, while blue covarine, a newer ingredient, creates an immediate whitening effect by reflecting light in a way that makes teeth appear whiter.

Although whitening toothpastes can effectively improve the appearance of mild extrinsic stains and maintain natural tooth color, they do not reach the intrinsic stains that professional treatments address. Studies indicate that the results of whitening toothpastes vary, with hydrogen peroxide and blue covarine formulations typically offering the most noticeable improvements. However, these over-the-counter products have limitations compared to professional treatments, which provide more dramatic color changes by penetrating deeper into the enamel.

Safety remains a primary concern for consumers, particularly around enamel erosion and tooth sensitivity. Whitening toothpastes are generally safe for regular use if applied as directed, though overuse or high-abrasion products may lead to enamel wear, increasing sensitivity and cavity risk. The American Dental Association (ADA) advises selecting toothpastes with its Seal of Acceptance, indicating safety and efficacy in daily use. For those experiencing sensitivity, it’s recommended to either reduce the frequency of use or switch to a sensitivity-specific whitening toothpaste.

To maximize benefits and minimize potential risks, consumers should follow usage instructions, choose soft-bristled toothbrushes to avoid additional abrasiveness, and select fluoride-enriched toothpaste for enamel protection. Limiting stain-causing foods and drinks, such as coffee, tea, and red wine, can also help maintain a whiter smile. While whitening toothpastes are effective in maintaining surface brightness, individuals with deeper stains or intrinsic discoloration should consider professional whitening for more substantial results.

In conclusion, whitening toothpastes are a convenient and cost-effective way to enhance tooth brightness as part of a daily oral care routine. By understanding their ingredients, safe usage, and limitations, consumers can make informed decisions to achieve and maintain a brighter smile while safeguarding their oral health.

From Dull to Dazzling: The Science Behind Teeth Whitening

A bright, radiant smile is often associated with confidence and vitality. However, many factors can dull the natural brilliance of our teeth over time, such as aging, diet, smoking, and certain medications. This has led to the popularity of teeth whitening procedures as a means to restore and enhance dental aesthetics. But what exactly is the science behind teeth whitening, and how do these treatments work?

Understanding Tooth Discoloration

To comprehend the mechanism of teeth whitening, it's essential to understand why teeth become discolored in the first place. The outer layer of our teeth, called enamel, is composed of tightly packed mineral crystals. Despite its hardness, enamel is porous and can absorb pigmented molecules from various sources.

Extrinsic stains, caused by external factors like coffee, tea, wine, and tobacco, affect the enamel's surface and can usually be addressed with teeth whitening treatments. In contrast, intrinsic stains, which occur within the tooth structure due to factors like trauma, aging, or certain medications, are more challenging to treat and may require more invasive procedures.

The Science of Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening treatments primarily utilize either hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide as the active bleaching agent. These compounds penetrate the enamel and break down the molecules responsible for staining through an oxidation process.

When hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide comes into contact with the tooth surface, they release oxygen molecules. These oxygen molecules enter the enamel and react with the pigmented molecules, causing them to break apart and become colorless. As a result, the teeth appear whiter and brighter.

Types of Teeth Whitening Procedures

Teeth whitening procedures can be broadly categorized into two main types: in-office professional treatments and at-home whitening kits.

In-office professional treatments involve the application of a highly concentrated bleaching agent directly onto the teeth by a dental professional. These treatments often yield faster and more dramatic results compared to at-home methods due to the higher concentration of the bleaching agent and the use of specialized equipment such as LED lights or lasers to enhance the whitening process.

At-home whitening kits typically consist of custom-fitted trays filled with a whitening gel containing a lower concentration of the bleaching agent. These trays are worn over the teeth for a specified duration, usually ranging from several minutes to a few hours per day, depending on the product's instructions. While at-home kits may take longer to achieve noticeable results compared to in-office treatments, they offer the convenience of being able to whiten teeth in the comfort of one's home.

Considerations and Side Effects

Although teeth whitening treatments are generally safe and effective when performed correctly, there are some considerations and potential side effects to be aware of.

Some individuals may experience tooth sensitivity during or after whitening treatments, which typically resolves on its own within a few days. This sensitivity occurs due to the temporary opening of the pores in the enamel, allowing the bleaching agent to penetrate the tooth more deeply. Using desensitizing toothpaste or reducing the frequency and duration of whitening sessions can help alleviate discomfort.

Additionally, overuse or misuse of whitening products can lead to enamel erosion, gum irritation, or uneven whitening results. It's essential to follow the instructions provided by dental professionals or product manufacturers and to consult with a dentist before starting any whitening regimen, especially for individuals with existing dental conditions or sensitivity.

Maintaining Results

The longevity of teeth whitening results varies depending on individual factors such as diet, oral hygiene practices, and lifestyle habits. Avoiding foods and beverages that are known to stain teeth, such as coffee, tea, and red wine, can help prolong the effects of whitening treatments.

Furthermore, maintaining good oral hygiene habits, including regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental check-ups, is crucial for preserving the brightness of your smile. Some individuals may choose to undergo periodic touch-up treatments to maintain their desired level of whiteness over time.

Conclusion

Teeth whitening treatments offer a safe and effective solution for restoring and enhancing dental aesthetics by removing extrinsic stains and brightening the natural color of teeth. The science behind teeth whitening lies in the bleaching agents' ability to penetrate the enamel and break down pigmented molecules through an oxidation process, resulting in a whiter and brighter smile.

Stained Teeth: Causes, Prevention, and Treatment

A bright, healthy smile can demonstrate confidence and make those around you warm to you. But if your teeth are lacklustre, yellow, or even stained, you might not feel so good about sharing your smile. 

If your smile has lost its sparkle, you’re not alone. Many people experience discolouration and staining, and there are several potential causes. 

While brushing your teeth alone won’t bring them back to being perfectly white, there are other ways. 

In this guide, we’ll look at the causes of stained and discoloured teeth. We’ll also discuss how we can treat them and equip you with the know-how to ensure your smile stays bright. 

What Causes Discoloured or Stained Teeth?

There are several potential causes for stains and discolouration, some are preventable, others are unavoidable. 

Stains affecting the outer layer of your teeth are called extrinsic stains. This type of stain is often caused by diet. Common culprits for causing these stains include dark berries, coffee, tea, red wine, spicy food, and cola. Smoking can also leave extrinsic stains. 

When the stains penetrate the tooth, they can affect the dentin. This is the layer below the dental enamel. Potential causes for intrinsic stains include dental trauma, infection, and certain medications. Stains from smoking can become intrinsic. 

As we age, our dental enamel thins. This causes the darker-coloured dentin below the surface to show through, giving your once-white teeth a yellow appearance.

Other potential causes for discolouration include genetics and certain cancer treatments. 

Can You Tell the Cause of Stained Teeth By the Colour?

Discoloured teeth could turn yellow, brown, purple, or grey. You may also develop white or black spots on your teeth. 

Yellow teeth occur through ageing, diet, and poor oral hygiene. Smoking can turn your teeth brown; however, some brown marks may be tooth decay.  If your teeth are a shade of purple, you likely enjoy red wine. 

Grey teeth indicate that your nerve endings have died. This typically occurs as a result of dental infection or trauma. White spots are fluorosis, which is usually from consuming high levels of fluoride as a child. Black spots are caused by severe decay. 

How Are Stained and Discoloured Teeth Treated?

There are several ways that we can treat stained and discoloured teeth, including whitening treatments, composite bonding, and dental veneers. 

Teeth Whitening

A professional teeth whitening treatment can remove extrinsic and intrinsic stains. This safe, dentist-led treatment uses powerful whitening gels to lift stains and bring your teeth to a natural and healthy shade of white. 

You can undergo the treatments we provide in stages from the comfort of your home. We’ll provide you with custom whitening trays that apply the gel directly to your teeth. Using the trays and gel for around two weeks will improve the appearance of your smile. 

Composite Bonding

Sometimes called cosmetic bonding, this treatment uses tooth-coloured resin to fix several dental defects simultaneously. We can use this resin to cover any stains and discolouration. 

We begin by applying the resin to your teeth and blending it in until it looks natural. Next, we use a special light to harden the resin, leaving you with a restored tooth. Composite bonding is quick and painless. 

Dental Veneers

We can also use dental veneers to cover stained and discoloured teeth. Veneers are fine, life-like porcelain shells that coat the fronts and sides of your teeth. Once in place, they give your smile a bright, healthy appearance. 

How Can You Prevent Stained Teeth?

There are several ways to prevent staining and discolouration. Cutting out all food and drinks that cause stains isn’t always an option; however, you can limit the amount of them you consume and brush your teeth immediately after meals. 

Improve your oral hygiene by using a soft toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste to brush your teeth thoroughly at least twice daily, floss, and use mouthwash. 

Drinking plenty of water can help reduce staining. If you’re a smoker, talk to us or your GP about ways to quit, and visit our clinic regularly for a checkup and hygiene visit.
