Have you ever contemplated on whether to buy a manual toothbrush or a electrical toothbrush? I don't know about you, but whatever gets the job done works best for me. Manual toothbrushes are extremely cheaper than electrical toothbrushes that is why I stick to the basic. Researchers say it is how you brush your teeth that really matters. Electric toothbrushes are more popular because they are more fun for kids and young adults. Commercials make it look as though electric toothbrushes are the only toothbrushes that get the job done, which is false (Web Med). Always keep in mind how you brush your teeth. Do not brush too hard where your gums bleed, because you can also brush off the enamel, which does not grow back. It really all depends on how you brush your teeth. It is all opinion based on how you brush your teeth. Keep brushing my friends!

Implants
The tooth is made up of four different types of tissue: enamel, pulp, dentin, and cementum. The tooth is not a bone, but is hard as a bone. Opps, I did it again! This is me reminding you that you only have one set, which should last you a lifetime. For people who do not take care of their teeth pay a costly price, and I'm not just talking about in money. Implants are extremely expensive, and most can not afford these costly chompers, because majority of dental plans do not consider coverage for implants. Implants are surgically placed where the rotted tooth or teeth once lived. Dental implants can improve appearance, speech, self-esteem, and convenience (Dental Implants) . But why would you want implants, when you have the perfect smile that God gave you already. TAKE CARE OF YOUR TEETH, because I don't want to see you at our college reunion 20 years from now with implants, take car of them chompers of yours.

Oral Hygiene
How white are your teeth? Do you brush every morning and every night? According to the Center of Disease Control (CDC), Americans are supposed to brush regularly to avoid tartar or calculus, which hardens on the teeth if they are not brushed properly (Gardner, Stewart, 1966). No one wants to have a conversation with someone who has bad breath along with yellow teeth, don't let that be you. Make sure to visit your dentist twice a year. Avoid eating sweets and drinking sweet beverages before bed time. Sugar eats away at your teeth with you knowing, creating cavities that break down your teeth if you don't brush. Don't be that guy/girl who people avoid conversation with you because of bad breath, or yellow teeth.
