Does a clover bird really clean an alligator's teeth?

After some research, all I have discovered are two bird names that may be a possiability. They are the Trochilas, but all I found here was that it was a type of hummingbird. The second bird is know as the Egyptian plover. This bird does eat insects off the ground but has not been seen eating out of a croc's teeth. I also found an article that said this story may be a myth. That there is no crocodile tootbrush bird. If there was it was said they picke leeches and fungus out of the teeth of crocodiles.

Why do crocodiles smile all the time?

Both the alligator and the crocodile have a pair of extra long teeth in their lower jaws. The alligator has two pits in his upper ,jaw, and when he closes his mouth the long, lower teeth fit right into these pits, out of sight. The long, lower teeth of the crocodile fit into grooves on the outside of his upper Jaw. He cannot hide them, and when his mouth is closed they add that secret smile to his bumpy face.

How to Find The Right Toothbrush?

A lot of people just usually pick a toothbrush off the counter without really taking note of its real importance. A toothbrush must be able to fit the kind of teeth you have, in order to maximize its use. This helps keep your gums healthy and disease free. The right toothbrush allows you to clean your teeth better. Here are a few steps to make sure you are using the right toothbrush. Step 1: The Comfort Level When choosing a toothbrush, the most important thing is that you are comfortable with it. The head should fit normally in between your cheek and teeth and should be small enough to clean the back of your molars. You should use a tooth brush with soft-to-medium bristles, because most of the time hard bristles can cause the gums to bleed. Only use the hard bristles if it is advised by a dentist. Soft bristles are very effective in removing plaque and bacteria. The best bristles are those that are rounded so, so the brush can reach between your teeth. Step 2: The Cheek Cleaner. Try to find a toothbrush with a cheek cleaner. The cheeks are one of the places where bacteria that causes bad breath builds. If you find a toothbrush, it is advisable that you get one that cleans your cheek using the back side of the brush. This can be a little more expensive than the normal toothbrush, but it is worth it. We all have to keep in mind the importance of brushing our teeth. This is the best way to keep up with our oral hygiene and keep our breath odor free. The type of toothbrush is essential to keeping our gums healthy. We should always try to keep children interested in brushing as well. There are toothbrushes that are battery operated, and this would make children want to brush their teeth. Also, make sure that you replace the head every three months when using the battery operated toothbrush as well as the normal toothbrush.
