Francesca Ara co People simply can’t live without toothbrushes! In 2003, scientists proved that toothbrushes were the number one thing people can’t go a day without using. “The average american spends over 38 days of his or her lifetime brushing their teeth.” Stated by Dr.Jeff Stonebraker in “Five Fun Facts About Toothbrushes.” The toothbrush is an invention that has had a profound impact on modern society because it keeps your breath from smelling and fights disease.

By examining three of the commercials from the 1950s, we can conclude what the initial perceived dental problem was in the era. In each of the commercials I analyzed, the issue of tooth decay was mentioned repeatedly. I examined the 1956 Pepsodent commercial, the 1950s Colgate Dental Cream commercial, and the 1956 Crest commercial. The competing companies all had a similar substantive characteristic in that they used science and scientific terms to sway their consumers. In the particular situation

A new trend that is taking over the oral hygiene world is that of activated charcoal. Activated charcoal (AC) powder is being depicted as a natural and alternative cure for plague that is yellow teeth.

Dental cavities are a very common health issue; most people today will face at least a cavity or two during their lives. Microorganisms play a big role in the formation of cavities. Oral pathogens build up on the teeth, together with food debris and saliva, to form a thick whitish plaque. This becomes prime territory for the microorganisms to ferment food particles left on the teeth, releasing acid as a by-product. This acid erodes and decomposes the teeth below. So what can be done to prevent

Gum disease is caused by the accumulation of plaque and bacteria underneath your gum line. When the plaque hardens it turns into tartar and this leads to an extreme form of gum disease like periodontal disease. While periodontal disease is an extreme form of gum disease, gingivitis is a milder form that can easily develop in children.

With our newer generations more and more people are consumed with the health of their teeth (Weisz, 1994). Oral hygiene is important to people and considering the advancements of today’s society, more and more people are constantly going. Teenagers are going to want to try the Wisk due to their need for fresh breath and how their normal oral routine interferes

It is a big issue for frequent travelers to find products which can accompany them on long trips without breaking down. Every person utilizes a toothbrush at least twice a day and it is something very personal that no one shares with anyone. Since a long time, people have switched to electric toothbrush because it is more convenient to use and offers much more cleanliness compared to
