Thesis: Taking good care of your mouth and teeth will provide you with a healthy smile. INTRODUCTION I. As you know, my name is Melanie and I am incredibly excited to share my passion with you tonight, healthy teeth. II. Ice breaker- Story about bumping into an attractive person and then seeing their horrible teeth and losing interest. III. According to the American Accreditation Healthcare commission, taking care of your teeth helps prevent plaque, which is a clear film of bacteria that sticks to your teeth within 20 minutes after eating. IV. In the Harvard Health Letter it is stated that tooth brushing may be the most ingrained of all other health habits but unfortunately, just because most of us brush our teeth at least twice a day, it is more often than not that it is not done incorrectly. The inadequate job leaves behind the bacteria causing plaque that will cause cavities and gum disease. BODY Transition: let me start by explaining the importance of having an appropriate toothbrush for your oral care. I. The toothbrush itself will help you maintain healthy gums. A. Check to make sure the toothbrush bristles aren’t too hard. ...

...ever wondered if you truly know how to brush your teeth properly or what can happen if you don’t? How are you supposed to know if you aren’t taught? That is why I will be discussing what materials you need to have for good dental hygiene, what the proper technique is to make sure your teeth are clean, and the harmful effects of not keeping your teeth clean. The first step to good dental hygiene is making sure you have the right materials. A toothbrush is the most important tool you will need. When picking out a toothbrush, you should look to see if the bristles are soft, hard, or maybe in-between. If your teeth are sensitive, you should pick the soft bristles because you could damage your gums if they are too rough. You also need to check to see if your bristles start to fray. If your bristles start to fray that means your toothbrush is old and no longer effective and it’s time to get a new one. Another material you need is floss; floss is just as important as a toothbrush because it gets all the leftover food out from in between your teeth that can cause bad breath or cavities. Toothbrushes are made for the flat surfaces of your teeth and floss is used to get the extra buildup from in-between your teeth. The last important tool needed is toothpaste; without toothpaste you wouldn’t be able to clean your teeth. When looking for toothpaste you should check to see if it has fluoride in it because fluoride is an extra liquid that stays on your teeth all night and helps prevent cavities...

...5 TIPS FOR BRUSHING YOUR TEETH CORRECTLY Proper brushing of teeth will not only ensure healthy teeth and a brighter smile but also overall improved health. Effective brushing removes plaque, food debris and bacteria from teeth thereby preventing cavities and gum diseases which if not treated will lead to other health complications Brushing is not a simple one minute exercise as most people perceive it. In fact, when done properly, it lasts for a minimum of three minutes. If you would like to know more on how to correctly clean your teeth, then consider the following tips; I. Start by Flossing It is unfortunate that most people do not floss not knowing that it forms approximately 60 per cent of the teeth cleaning process. Brushing only takes care of the remaining 40 per cent. Plaque that has accumulated between teeth and food debris can only be removed by flossing. If with dental braces, Dental picks can be used to remove the floss between teeth and should be done gently so as not to irritate gums. After flossing, swish water around your mouth, spit...

...References 27 1. Introduction Colgate-Palmolive Company is a multinational firm that is focused on the production, distribution and provision of household, personal products and health care. In this case we focused in a specific product that is the Colgate toothpaste. The project is based in a detailed research about the impact that Colgate is having in the Chinese market with this product and the consumer reaction. To have a more complete idea of how Colgate could improve in the Chinese market. We based our research in the four moments of truth that the consumer experience with the product. Where we studied the interaction that the costumer has with the toothpaste, through interviews and observations. 2. History Toothpaste history in China Toothpaste most likely originated in China, Egypt, and India more than 6,000 years ago. In China, twigs and bones were mashed and mixed with water, salt, and flower petals to form a thick paste. This paste was then put on the end of a sharp bamboo leaf and applied to the teeth. This proved to be a very effective treatment for gingivitis. In Egypt, manuscripts from the 400s describe a recipe for the best toothpaste. It includes a mixture of mashed salt, crushed pepper, wet mint leaves, and dried iris flowers. Some evidence also points to a form...

...cavities 1. Brush and floss daily Preventive measures to any oral health problem begin with good oral hygiene. Brush your teeth at least twice a day. Use toothpaste that contains fluoride. Floss once or twice a day preferably after dinner. Flossing removes plaque from areas that the toothbrush can’t reach i.e. between your teeth and under the gum line. 2. Drink water or rinse mouth with water after eating You can’t brush every time you eat. But you sure can drink water or at least rinse your mouth with water every time you do so. Water neutralises the effects of acidic and sugary foods. Rinsing removes food particles left behind on/ between the teeth. 3. Eat a healthy balanced diet A healthy balanced diet is a solution to most of our health problems. A diet high in refined carbohydrates like breads, biscuits, etc. puts you at a risk of tooth decay. Avoid sticky foods such as candies, etc. which get stuck in the pits and grooves of your teeth. Sweets and chocolates are not the only ones with sugar. Beware of ‘hidden sugars’ in food which also could cause tooth decay. Increase your daily intake of fruits and vegetables. They remove plaque and food particles from between your teeth and gums. 4. Avoid frequent snacking What exposes your teeth to abuse is not how much you eat, but how often you eat. Every time you eat, bacteria convert the carbohydrates in the food into acids that can dissolve your tooth enamel. By snacking throughout the day, you make your teeth susceptible...

...office cleaning every day. Though healthy teeth and gums are important and easily maintainable, many people do not follow the simple, yet sometimes tedious rules. In fact, they are always looking for an easier way to maintain their oral health. The electric toothbrush was invented in 1961 by General Electric. “The use of a powerful, compact motor and rechargeable battery leads to the introduction of an automatic toothbrush and is the forerunner of the development of other handheld appliances such as hair dryers and an electric slicing knife” (Dedicated). Electric toothbrushes come in many shapes and sizes, allowing the user to choose one that is most comfortable, while also providing an easier, more efficient, and affordable way to keep a clean and healthy mouth. Electric toothbrushes come in a wide variety, allowing the user to find one fitting his or her needs. There are basically two types of electric toothbrushes: sonic heads and spinning heads. Sonic heads vibrate from side to side. A spinning head repeatedly and speedily rotates in one direction and then switches to the opposite direction, all while the bristles continue to pulsate in and out. Electric toothbrushes come in an array of handle sizes and grips. The heads of the toothbrushes also come in different shapes and sizes. The type you purchase is based on personal preference although buying an electric brush because of its looks or style may end up being a waste of your money. Make...

...hygiene. When I was a young boy I always play outside the house, and when I go home, I am so dirty. My mother always asked why I am like that. As i grow older they taught me how to clean myself and how to have a proper hygiene. From then I become a well-groomed child. Help with washing and bathing For most people, washing is a very private activity. If you are helping someone else wash or bathe, be sensitive and try to maintain their dignity. You may feel awkward and embarrassed, especially at first. To make bathing and washing as pleasant and comfortable as possible, you might consider: * using pleasant-smelling shampoo, bubble bath or soap * playing music the person you care for likes and is familiar with * if the person you're washing is confused, explaining what's happening as you go along * being sensitive to their mood Brushing your teeth Proper brushing of teeth requires at least 2 minutes. To properly brush your teeth, use short, gentle strokes, paying extra attention to the gumline, hard-to-reach back teeth and areas around fillings, crowns or other restoration. Concentrate on thoroughly cleaning each section as follows: * Clean the outer surfaces of your upper teeth, then your lower teeth * Clean the inner surfaces of your upper teeth, then your lower teeth * Clean the chewing surfaces * For fresher breath,...

...own teeth stain so easily. The enamel on your teeth and chromogens are what stains your teeth, but what exact beverage stains teeth the most? I chose this topic because I was curious to know what stains teeth the most. It affects us daily because it could rot your teeth or you can’t pick up hot chicks anymore. So what causes teeth to stain? The temperature causes teeth to expand or contract making it easier for stains. So hot and cold drinks affect that. Color in foods and beverages come from chromogens. Chromogens are intensely pigmented compounds that stick to teeth enamel. Chromogens cause a lot of trouble when they mix and react with other stain causing and stain promoting factors.
