Child Care #6: Brushing Teeth

Everybody knows that if you don't brush your teeth, your teeth will get gross, your breath will stink, you'll get gum disease and you'll be gumming your food at too young an age. But did you know your mouth naturally carries the bacteria of Meningitis? If you don't wash out your mouth all the time, then one day you bite the inside of your mouth, and you could catch Meningitis. And then you'll die, or at least spend the rest of your life toothless and limbless. You can spit out teeth and rotten liquid all at the same time.

Smoking causes oral cancer, but if you don't brush your teeth, all that mess builds up inside and you'll get it anyway. Your body's immune system goes nuts and starts eating up tissues and plaque alike. Ever scrape off the gunk on a nasty's teeth and stick it under a telescope? It's alive, people! Alive and thriving. The more you leave your teeth unattended, the thicker that little colony gets in your mouth until it's as thick as cake batter. I don't know about you, but the only batter I want in my mouth is the one that's baked for a birthday party.

Say you don't floss, and you have little pieces of food stuck in your hot, moist mouth. We all know what happens to food in tropical places, they go bad. They smell, they stink, they rot, and it's in your mouth. Eating rotten food has always been bad. The reason it smells is because of harmful, bacterial fumes. Breathe it in and get sick, swallow it and get sicker. It goes into the blood stream and that's all kinds of bad.

Think about it, the person of your dreams wants to kiss you, and then your gums bleed. Who's going to kiss you now? Are you really going to make out with blood dribbling all over? Put cake batter into someone else's mouth so they can eat it--ugh! And to think a long time ago when people never brushed, or bathed, that this was how it was going. No wonder there was a high mortality rate.

Anyway, make your child brush and you'll never have to see them slurp up dribbles of blood into a colony of fermenting cake batter. And don't forget to scrub that tongue.
