To get cleanest mouth and avoid cooties and colds at the same time, y’all will need the following tools of the trade:
- TOOTHBRUSH with EXTRA-SOFT bristles. Easier on (NON-generative) gums.
- FLOSS. Waxed coating easier for . Flavor optional.
- WATER-PIK. Massages gums. Good for lazy people not using floss.
- MOUTHWASH. Not as good as alcohol. Not that I tried!
- TONGUE-SCAPER. Not as good as toothbrush. Again use fancy tool if lazy.
- TOOTHPASTE. Well, try something without flouride/flourine as part of the ingredients.
The following are easy eight-step instructions for good oral hygiene. Perfect anytime of the day, while working and dating, too!
- Brush tongue (back-and-forth – NOT sideways – until white stuff gone).
Go as far back as possible. Be careful. Don’t gag. - Brush hard palette (until slimy gunk feels smooth to tongue).
Go as far back as possible. Be careful. Don’t gag. - Brush teeth gently.
- Floss (or, if too lazy, use a ‘water-pick’, which is good for sensitive gum, too).
- Swish water VERY HARD inside mouth and through gum. Spit and repeat until chem-suds disappear. Try tilting head side-ways (cheeks parallel to sink) to get water as far back of mouth, near molars, as possible.
- Use chem-gargle, if needed to extra breath protection.
- Test breath on willing subject. Good luck.
- If no luck, use lots of natural, sugar-less breath mints. Stop eating aromatic foods, like garlic, onions and peppers!
