Whether you're in the kitchen or out on the boat, working with fish makes your hands smell funky. Fortunately, a little toothpaste will do what regular soap can't.

Choosing a toothbrush is relatively simple: dentists recommend brushing with a small-headed soft-bristled brush, for two minutes, twice a day. But how on earth do you decide between the 50-odd toothpastes on the supermarket shelves?

The perfect dab of toothpaste you see on your toothpaste box and all those advertisements is misleading. It's a lot more than adults need and far too much for children. Really, a pea-size amount is all you should use to get the job done (and squeeze more uses out of a tube.)
