How many times have you fallen asleep without previously brushing your teeth? Nearly half of all adult Australians admit they don't bother to brush their teeth before going to bed mainly because they're too tired or forget about it while checking Facebook, Instagram, and other social media accounts. By skipping the need to brush your teeth before going to bed, along with poor nutrition (consuming sugary drinks, junk food and food high in carbohydrates) you risk developing not only serious dental problems, but other serious diseases that could affect your overall health. Therefore, maintaining proper and regular oral hygiene is the key to ensuring a sparkling smile and well-being in general. This is not to be taken as oral hygiene is the solution to other issues, but failing to address is could be the trigger for many of them.

Things change over time, and in most cases for the better - including residual current devices. The primary reason for these changes is improvements in safety of course, but that's not the only one. In case you've lived under a rock for the past few decades, an RCD (Residual Current Device) is a life-saving device that is designed to prevent you from getting electrocuted in case you touch a bare wire. It can also help provide extra protection against electrical fires. RCDs offer that extra layer of protection that ordinary circuit-breakers and fuses do not. RCD's constantly monitor the electric current flowing through all the circuits that they protect. If it finds electricity flowing on an unintended path, like a person who has touched a bare wire, the RCD will switch the circuit breaker off immediately, significantly reducing the risks of serious injury or death. There are a few basic types of rccb rcd available that can be used to ensure you're always as safe as possible, and they're most often used in potentially dangerous areas like gardens, bathrooms and kitchens.
