Taking care of your teeth and gums




1.   Just the other day i sat in an old smelly matatu next to an individual with an over powering body odour.
2.  I could not  take  it and  every  passanger on board had their   nose  pointed  to the little  windows  trying to gasp for  to air like a drowing man.
3.  It dawned on me that good looks do not make one embrace personal hygine as a prioriety and just may be i would have taken the opportunity to tell him in a polite manner that he ought to uphold good oral hygine.
4.  If i came across him i would say
Sir hello… kindly brush your teeth twice a day with quality toothpaste.
I like the way you are dressed… so flossing in between the teeth should be manditory   because it will make me notice you more.
Do you know the man with the white coat…he is called a dentist…perhaps you could visit him on a regular basis for check ups and cleaning
Cut down on sugary foods and drinks and eat more of the bananas that you like munching on in this matatu and throwing its peels anywhere and everywher!
Do not smoke nor drink alchol…for if you cared to look at all of us in the matatu… you will see that our contenance is cringed up and we are trying so hard to make it to our destination so that fresh air can be for us our entire portion.
And should you see any stick black substance on your teeth…that is called plaque and that within due time will lead to tooth decay.
And one last thing…when brushing your teeth…take the bristles back and forth to each tooth
brush gently down your gumline
Brush your toungue and change your tooth brush every 3 months…
On second thoughts i would be shy to tell all this to a total stanger! Nonetheless…oral hygine should be embraced by all!
