People from all over the world start and end their day's the same way, by brushing their teeth. Teeth-brushing is very important to one's health. By not brushing teeth, bad breath, yellowing, and spotting of the teeth can occur. The first step to properly brushing teeth is to find an adequate toothbrush. To be fit to clean a person's mouth a toothbrush must be easy to grip and have quality bristles for cleaning. Next individuals need to acquire a tooth paste of their liking. Tooth pastes come in all different varieties. There are fruity ones, minty ones, and even bubble gum flavored ones. Then there are tooth pastes that whiten, strengthen, fight plaque, and help sensitive gums. It is important to choose a tooth paste that will fit all of the needs of the person who will be using it, whether they are children or adults. The next step is to get the toothbrush wet and then squeeze a little tooth paste onto the bristles. Small children should use no more than a pea size amount of tooth paste, while adults should use more. Before applying the tooth paste, individuals should look into their own mouth using a mirror. This will help determine the size of one's mouth so the amount of tooth paste needed can be accurately judged. Now, one can begin to brush their teeth. It is very important not to brush too hard otherwise bleeding of the gums will occur and causes the gums to recede. The brush should be dragged horizontally across the front and backs of both top and bottom teeth. Individuals should make sure to brush even the hard to reach places, so bacteria will not grow. Conclude the brushing by spitting out the toothpaste into the sink. Make sure to wash the used tooth paste down the drain. The last step is to floss. Tooth floss comes in many different forms. Apart from the many different flavors, thicknesses, and colors, now tooth floss also comes on little handheld picks. These are especially convent for tooth care on the go. Flossing is important because if food gets caught in between teeth, a toothbrush can't always reach it. Floss's job is to prevent one's teeth from getting a cavity. If food is left in between teeth, then a painful tooth ache can result. Brushing and flossing are two tasks that are very important to the up keep of teeth. If these things are not done, then individuals may find themselves with rotten or yellowed teeth. The elderly often have to wear false teeth as a result of not caring for them in earlier years.
