Brushing your teeth twice a day is necessary for overall good health. Flossing is an essential part of that routine as well. Now let me explain what it means to brush your teeth. You have a toothbrush, which is similar to a hair brush except it is small enough to fit in your mouth. The bristles are the part that the toothpaste goes on and actually cleans your teeth. Toothpaste comes in many colors and flavors. You most likely want to get one that will remove surface stains, strengthen your enamel, and protect against cavities. You want to brush for at least two minutes just to make sure you are getting a thorough clean. After those two minutes have passed, rinse your mouth with cold water. The goal in brushing your teeth is to get rid of the plaque that starts forming on them after eating. You also want to brush to have white shiny teeth. As I mentioned before, flossing is very important because it removes the plaque that is going in between your teeth that may be hard to reach with the toothbrush alone. After brushing and flossing, there is a thing called mouthwash. Like toothpaste, there are many kinds. There are some that are very strong and some that have no alcohol in it so it doesn't burn. It is up to you which you would prefer. With toothpaste and mouthwash, it's all about personal preference. All mouthwash does is get rid of bad breath and gets rid of germs on your tongue, cheeks, and gums. You want to swish mouthwash for about 45 seconds and then spit out. Do not rinse your mouth after using mouthwash because then there will be no point in using it and it will no longer be able to do its job at fighting germs. After brushing, flossing, and using mouthwash, you are now clear to smile and talk to friends without worrying if there is something on or in between your teeth!
What does it mean when I say brushing your teeth is necessary for overall good health? Brushing your teeth is important because germs are related to disease. By not brushing and flossing, you are putting yourself at risk for infection and disease. One of the couple would be gum cancer. Which is why dentists and even your mom make it such a big deal to brush AND floss at least twice a day. If you choose not to brush, these germs could make their way through your bloodstream and diseases could start there. People say that flossing alone is too much work, but I would take flossing any day over being told that I have gum cancer or some other illness. When you relate it to your health, it really does not take up that much time. If anything, you are taking about 5 minutes out of your day to make sure that your teeth, as well as your tongue and cheeks, and mouth overall, are clean. Which actually makes you feel a lot better about yourself too! Believe it or not, it gives you a little boost of confidence. Who doesn't like feeling good about themselves, right?
Analogy(Different Topic)
My idea of love is like having the whole universe in the palm of your hand. Loving someone and being loved by them is the most amazing feeling there is. Some will argue with me that love doesn't exist at such a young age and that it's lust not love. But feeling like you have everything you could ever need in life to be happy when you're with that special person is definitely more than lust. The need to have them close because they make you feel happier than you've ever been is more than just lust. It's love. And when you realize that you're in love, there's no going back. You're in too deep and you realize that you can't possibly be without that person because being with them brings you so much joy and happiness. Love isn't about the materialistic things, it's about the little things. Getting a good morning or a goodnight text shows that they were thinking of you when they first woke up and you're the last thing on their mind before bed.
