Toothbrushes
The toothbrush is a tool used for cleaning teeth. It comes in many different forms, for example, the electric toothbrush. Dentists recommend their patients brush their teeth at least twice a day and sometimes after meals.

Who is the godfather of toothbrushing?
'The Godfather Of Toothbrushing'...Ralph Winge, D.D.S....Has Also Become...The Most Prolific...'Toothbrushing Choreographer'...With His...Sixth Move!...Called The 'Winge 90'...Or Just...'The 90!'...
Who makes Aquafresh toothpaste?
oh Aquafresh toothpaste is made by GSK.
It is made for
kids, and adults. They also make medicines and more. Aquafresh
toothpaste tastes fresh and delighting. They make it in bubble-mint for children, minty for adults, and you can buy the sliver toothpaste which is minty as we now know.
I hope you use use Aquafresh it's awesome
What is the Charters toothbrushing technique?
Charter's technique is recommended for post-operative patients, or painful tissue. The bristles are angled 45 degrees away from the gingiva towards the crown with half of the bristles on gum, and half of on teeth. The handle is parallel to the horizon or occlusal plane. Small circular strokes as you move posterior to anterior, while staying on 2 teeth at a time for a few seconds.
Okay, so I had this pretty disgusting retainer with white stuff caked on it. No matter what i did ( toothpaste with toothbrush) nothing came off. So this is what i did.
Get some toothpaste. ( like crest) Squeeze a small strip into a cup full half full of water. Then, find some other toothpaste and do the same thing. If you had braces, then you probably got dental fluoride. Squeeze some of that too. Fill the glass with cold water and stir. Add your dirty retainer. Leave for about one hour. When it is done your retainer will be covered in a weird mixture. Get a toothbrush and scrub it with cold water. You should have a clean retainer!
What should your tooth brush bristles by made of?
In 1938 natural animal bristles were replaced by synthetic fibres, usually nylon - the ones in common usage today
What did people use with bristles?
Bristles have been used in various tools and products, most notably in brushes for cleaning, painting, and grooming. Common examples include toothbrushes, paintbrushes, and brooms. Additionally, bristles are often used in household items, such as pet brushes and hairbrushes, for their effectiveness in removing dirt and detangling. Historically, animal hair, such as from hogs or horses, was commonly used for bristle production.
Do ultraviolet sanitizers work?
Yes, Ultraviolet (UV) Sanitizers for pools do work. They use the same wavelength of UV light (254nm) that has been used worldwide for over 60 years to purify drinking water. For a more specific explanation of how they work see below.
The UV254 Sanitizer uses Ultraviolet Technology at a wavelength of 254 nanometers (nm) which does not produce ozone. Basically, ultraviolet light (UV) reacts with the DNA and RNA of living things to destroy the activity of these important molecules.
In particular, the UV254 Sanitizer produces ultraviolet radiation at a particular wavelength (254 nanometers or 253.7 more precisely) which is a good match for inactivating the DNA or RNA of pathogens - the various kinds of microorganisms that do us harm.
In a bit more detail, physics tells us that ultraviolet radiation is a form of electromagnetic radiation. One basic characteristic of this radiation is its wavelength which is often measured in nanometers (one billionth of a meter, abbreviated nm). The different wavelengths of radiation form what we call the electromagnetic spectrum. The spectrum can be pictured as consisting of visible light waves in the middle with infrared, microwave and radio waves having longer wavelengths and ultraviolet, x-ray and gamma rays having shorter wavelengths.
The visible light we see with our eyes varies from the violet with a wavelength just above 400 nm to red which has a wavelength up to 700 nm. Ultraviolet is called just that - it's beyond violet with wavelengths below what we can see. There is a relationship between the wavelength of light and its energy … shorter wavelengths have more energy. That's just a fact that we won't get into here.
The ultraviolet part of the spectrum is conveniently labeled divided into different parts labeled UVA (wavelengths from 400 down to 315 nm), UVB (315-280 nm), UVC (280-200 nm) and extreme UV (below 200 nm). This means that the shorter wavelength UVC rays have a higher energy than the UVA or UVB radiation. The UV254 Sanitizer works right in this higher UVC range.
Now consider a bit of biology. Living things are made up of complex molecules. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid) are two of these. They are involved in providing the genetic code and important cell protein manufacture essential to living things. A molecule, including DNA and RNA, is a string of atoms held together by what scientists call chemical bonds. Each chemical bond is associated with a particular energy.
It is an accident of evolution or just bad luck but the energy of some chemical bonds in DNA and RNA matches that of the UVC radiation. The energy from the radiation is just right to break some of the chemical bonds. It's like breaking a twig - we put our energy into bending the twig until it breaks.
The result is that the microorganisms can not reproduce and may be killed. The UV254 Sanitizer uses radiation at 254 nm wavelength, right in the middle of the UVC part of the spectrum so is effective in inactivating the wide variety of pathogens that are important to pool owners.
What is a toothbrush made out of?
A modern toothbrush is made up of two parts, the handle and the bristles.
The handle is made up of plastic and sometimes plastic and rubber with small hole at one end that hold the bristles.
The bristles are made up of short strands of nylon and are held in their place in hole in the handle by small pieces of corrosion resistant stainless steel staples.
If you were staying overnight at a friends and forgot your toothbrush name something you might do?
Maybe ask for an extra, or maybe just don't brush your teeth at all! Hey, it's just for 1 night. Not gonna harm you if you don't brush your teeth for only a night, is it?
ORRRRR! You can take a paper towel and damp it, then put toothpaste on it and scrub your teeth. That will work better ahahah
What was the first product made from nylon?
Toothbrush (1938). Then nylon stockings (1940). Shortly after these two were made almost all nylon production was diverted to parachutes and parachute cord for use during WW2.
Will freezing temperatures kill germs on a toothbrush in a sealed zip locked bag?
"Heat will most definitely kill germs but freezing them won't do the trick- in the same way a frozen fish could spring back to life when put back into water. You could just be preserving them. Enzymes are at work in germs and these are denatured by extreme heat but cooling them might only be slowing them down. Freezing does prevent their multiplication if the temp is at 0°F or less. When thawed, the surviving organisms can multiply again."
