"This may be
one of Your Greatest...
...and...
one of Your
Simplest...Achievements!
But will this one be...
...the Last One ever invented?"
"If I'm Correct...
All of the other
six Toothbrushing Technniques
were developed by six People, one each,
in the 1930s to the 1950s...
...and...
...if I'm Correct
Doctor Winge is
the Only Person
...Alive...
That has made a Brushing Method!...
And...
...To That...
...I Say...
...Keep Hope Alive!"
"It's Spring again
and
the Whole Environment
is Waking up
And the Plants are Flowering
and
...things are 'Bursting Forth!'..
"Who told You
that I was a Spy?...
Of course, I can't
confirm or
deny it...but...
...it won't stop

that has happened to Us is...
...Sheltering In Place!"
Doctor Report!...
If You ever go to
The Sphinx and the

You might find Me useful for Your Trip!...

Hieroglyphics!"
"Some People who do the 'Crank' say
"I don't want to
just clean those Germs...
I want to
...'Nuke 'Um!"
You and Your
'Cleanliness is next to Godliness, so Let's
scrub away'
Smiles
are
almost getting
Obsessive Compulsive
about it!
I Hope that HSR, and
everybody else
out there driving...
...don't fail by
getting a
Flat Tire!....
Your
'Brush and Clean
All Them Suckas Away'
Episode
is
brought to you by
Your Friendly Neighborhood
Dentist...
...of course!
And Yes, of course,
that includes Me!...
Hey!...You wanna see what else
HSR is doing?...
...Okay...
...Last Time,
in
"There's A ...War...On The...Streets!... And
A War ...
...On Your...Teeth!,"
antecedent to that...
"So... Now...I Am Closing My...Dental Office
For The Night...When...
All Of A Sudden...This Impeccably-Dressed,
Dentally-Injured,
Wise Guy Gangster...With His
Big, Beefy, Scary-Looking ...And...'Hey!...Wha Chu Looking' At, Huh?'...
Body Guards In Tow...
Makes Me An Offer...That I Can't ...
...(Gulp!)....
Refuse!"...
and...
currently,HSR,
is on Hiatus
from
USC
DENTAL SCHOOL,
AND,
THIS TIME,
HE HAS HIS EYES SET
ON VISITING
THE
AMAZON
RIVER!
HE THINKS TO HIMSELF,
"THIS RIVER
HAS A LONG HISTORY, AND
IS SAID TO BE
SIGNIFICANTLY ACTIVE
WITH THE FORESTS,
MAKING THEM
'THE LUNGS'
OF THE EARTH,
BECAUSE IT MAKES
SO MUCH OXYGEN FROM ALL THE
PHOTOSYNTHESIS!...
AND...OF COURSE...
...THE RAINS!"
SO,
THE DAY COMES
FOR HIM
TO START THE TRIP,
AND,
SOME OF HIS
FRIENDS WERE
DENTAL SCHOOL,
AND,
THIS TIME,
HE HAS HIS EYES SET
ON VISITING
THE
AMAZON
RIVER!
HE THINKS TO HIMSELF,
"THIS RIVER
HAS A LONG HISTORY, AND
IS SAID TO BE
SIGNIFICANTLY ACTIVE
WITH THE FORESTS,
MAKING THEM
'THE LUNGS'
OF THE EARTH,
BECAUSE IT MAKES
SO MUCH OXYGEN FROM ALL THE
PHOTOSYNTHESIS!...
AND...OF COURSE...
...THE RAINS!"
SO,
THE DAY COMES
FOR HIM
TO START THE TRIP,
AND,
SOME OF HIS
FRIENDS WERE
SORT OF SAD TO SEE HIM GO,
AND OTHERS
JUST SAID,
"HEY...SEE YA WHEN YOU
GET BACK!"
EVENTUALLY,
HE GETS TO THE AIRPORT
AND
AND OTHERS
JUST SAID,
"HEY...SEE YA WHEN YOU
GET BACK!"
EVENTUALLY,
HE GETS TO THE AIRPORT
AND
CHECKS IN,
AND ONE LADY
TAKING A
DIFFERENT FLIGHT,
ASKS HSR,
"ARE YOU GOING TO
AMSTERDAM?...BECAUSE IF YOU ARE...
I'LL SHOW YOU
AROUND!"
AND HSR SAYS,
"NAW...I'M GOING TO
BRAZIL AND
FLOAT DOWN THE
AMAZON A LITTLE!"
AND NOW SHE
SAYS,
"WELL, I HEAR THAT IT'S
A
VERY LONG RIVER...SO IT'LL
TAKE YOU A WHILE!...AND
...WATCH OUT FOR THE
AMAZONIAN WOMEN!"
AND THE CONVERSATION KEEPS GOING
AND
THEY TALK AND
LAUGH A LITTLE MORE.
THEN,
HSR FINALLY
GETS ON BOARD
HIS PLANE
AND SAYS,
"HELLO" TO THE
PILOT...
...THEN
HE TAKES HIS SEAT,
BUT...
...IT'S A LITTLE TOO
ROWDY,
SO HE GETS ANOTHER SEAT...
THEN
THE PLANE GETS READY FOR
TAKE OFF,
AND
THINGS GO FINE AND THEY ARE
ON THEIR WAYS!...
...GREAT!...
AND, OF COURSE...
AFTER A WHILE...
HE FALLS ASLEEP,
AND HE TRIES NOT TO
DREAM ABOUT
FALLING!
AND THEN,
HE WAKES UP
AND
KEEPS
A SPARSE CONVERSATION
WITH ANOTHER
"I LIKE YOUR VESSEL, SIR!...
DO YOU NEED A GUIDE?...
...BECAUSE I'M GOOD...
DO YOU KNOW THAT
THIS RIVER SHIFTS AROUND
NATURALLY!"
"WELL, SAYS HSR, "THAT SOUNDS
GOOD!...WHY DON'T YOU HOP ON!"
SO
THEY GO DOWN THE RIVER
SOME
AND THEY SEE
OTHER PEOPLE
HERE AND
THERE,
AND
WATERFALLS
AND
ALSO SOME
GATORS AND
PANTHERS!
NOW, THE LADY SAYS.
'I SEE THAT YOUR
BOAT HAS A
NICE KITCHEN!...
...I'M AN EXCELLENT COOK!
I ALSO NEED TO TELL YOU THAT
AMSTERDAM?...BECAUSE IF YOU ARE...
I'LL SHOW YOU
AROUND!"
AND HSR SAYS,
"NAW...I'M GOING TO
BRAZIL AND
FLOAT DOWN THE
AMAZON A LITTLE!"
AND NOW SHE
SAYS,
"WELL, I HEAR THAT IT'S
A
VERY LONG RIVER...SO IT'LL
TAKE YOU A WHILE!...AND
...WATCH OUT FOR THE
AMAZONIAN WOMEN!"
AND THE CONVERSATION KEEPS GOING
AND
THEY TALK AND
LAUGH A LITTLE MORE.
THEN,
HSR FINALLY
GETS ON BOARD
HIS PLANE
AND SAYS,
"HELLO" TO THE
PILOT...
...THEN
HE TAKES HIS SEAT,
BUT...
...IT'S A LITTLE TOO
ROWDY,
SO HE GETS ANOTHER SEAT...
THEN
THE PLANE GETS READY FOR
TAKE OFF,
AND
THINGS GO FINE AND THEY ARE
ON THEIR WAYS!...
...GREAT!...
AND, OF COURSE...
AFTER A WHILE...
HE FALLS ASLEEP,
AND HE TRIES NOT TO
DREAM ABOUT
FALLING!
AND THEN,
HE WAKES UP
AND
KEEPS
A SPARSE CONVERSATION
WITH ANOTHER
PASSENGER...
THEN
AFTER SOME HOURS
AFTER SOME HOURS
THEY ARE READY
TO LAND!...
NOW
HE MAKES IT ON OVER
TO THE START OF THE
NAPO RIVER,
WHICH TRIBUTES
INTO THE
MIGHTY AMAZON!
AND NOW...
...THAT
...THAT
HE'S AT THE WATER'S
EDGE,
HE GETS ON HIS
SPECIAL-ORDERED CRAFT,
WHICH WILL ALLOW HIM
TO
'DO IT WITH STYLE!'
BUT,
BEFORE HE
BEFORE HE
TAKES OFF,
A LADY SAILS
UP TO HIM
AND
ADMIRES HIS CRAFT,
AND SAYS,
DO YOU NEED A GUIDE?...
...BECAUSE I'M GOOD...
DO YOU KNOW THAT
THIS RIVER SHIFTS AROUND
NATURALLY!"
"WELL, SAYS HSR, "THAT SOUNDS
GOOD!...WHY DON'T YOU HOP ON!"
SO
THEY GO DOWN THE RIVER
SOME
AND THEY SEE
OTHER PEOPLE
HERE AND
THERE,
AND
WATERFALLS
AND
ALSO SOME
GATORS AND
PANTHERS!
NOW, THE LADY SAYS.
'I SEE THAT YOUR
BOAT HAS A
NICE KITCHEN!...
...I'M AN EXCELLENT COOK!
I ALSO NEED TO TELL YOU THAT
I'M GOING AS FAR
DOWN THE RIVER AS
SAN AUGUSTIN!"...
"OKAY, " SAYS HSR, "LET'S CATCH A FISH AND COOK IT!
SO THEY CATCH A COUPLE,
AND SHE
PREPARES THEM NICELY,
WITH A GOURMET TASTE!!...
"MAN, THIS SURE IS GOOD,"
SMILES A FULL-STOMACH HSR!
NOW THE GUIDE SAYS,
OH MY...
IT LOOKS LIKE A STORM
IS COMING!...LET'S PULL OVER TO THE SIDE AND
WAIT TILL TOMORROW!"
AND THAT TURNS OUT TO BE A GOOD PLAN,
BECAUSE IT RAINS WITH A
VENGENCE!...
AND OTHER RIVERS ARE
INUNDATED,
TOO!...
SO,
IN THEIR DRY CRAFT,
THEY TALK
AND EXCHANGE STORIES
INTO THE NIGHT
AS THEY REST AND PREPARE
FOR
THE NEXT DAY OF ADVENTURES!
SO...THE NEXT MORNING
THEY WAKE UP
AND HAVE A
NICE MEAL AND
HSR SAYS,
"I THINK THAT
I'LL TAKE A
SHORT WALK!"
AND HIS FRIEND SAYS,
GO RIGHT AHEAD, DEAR,
I'LL
WAIT HERE!"
NOW HE
WALKS THROUGH
THE
REALLY
THICK
BUT
ALL OF A SUDDEN
IT RAINS
REAL HARD AGAIN,
SO
HSR SITS DOWN UNDER
A TREE
AND DECIDES TO
WAIT IT OUT A LITTLE
AND HE NOTICES
A STRANGE PLANT
RIGHT
ABOVE HIM
AND IT'S DRIPPING
WITH RAIN WATER AND
HE
CATCHES SOME 'DRIP '
FROM THE PLANT!
HOWEVER,
IN A COUPLE OF MINUTES,
THIS VISION
'SEEMINGLY STARTS TO
APPEAR'
IN FRONT OF HIM,
WHICH
IS
PROBABLY PRODUCED BY
THE POTENT PLANT SAP!...
AND
THE VISION
SEEMS TO SAY,
"WELCOME TO
MY PART OF THE
VEGETATION, SIR,
I DON'T GET MANY
PEOPLE AROUND HERE
SO
I'LL JUST TELL YOU
MY MESSAGE!...AND IT IS THIS,
I KNOW THAT IT IS
MAN'S
DUTY
TO EXPLORE,
BUT IF YOU
PERSONALLY CAN
JUST
'LOOK AT FROM A DISTANCE'
AT
MY NATURAL BEAUTY AND
PLEASE
DON'T ALTER THE RAINFORESTS!...
THIS WORLD WILL STAY
'SELF-SUSTAININGLY PURE!'
PLEASE TAKE HEED AND ENJOY
YOUR TRIP,
SIR!"
THEN
HSR OPENS HIS EYES,
WHICH HE THOUGHT WERE
ALREADY OPEN,
AND HE WALKS BACK TO HIS FRIEND
AND HIS CRAFT
AND SHE GREETS
HIM AND SAYS,
"YOU WERE GONE
FOR
TWO HOURS!
DID ANYTHING HAPPEN?"
"I GOT CAUGHT UP
IN THE RAIN
AND I HAD TO
WAIT IT OUT
AND
I HAD AT LEAST ONE
'DEEP THOUGHT THREAD' THAT I
CAN REMEMBER...
IT WAS A VISION TO
'NOT SPOIL THE
RAINFOREST!'"
HE RELATES...
THEN
SHE GETS
CLOSER TO HSR
AND SAYS,
"IT'S GOOD TO HAVE
YOU BACK...HERE'S A DRINK!"
SO,
IN A LITTLE
BIT AFTER THAT,
THEY GET BACK
ON THE WATER
TO SEE
WHAT OTHER
BEAUTY AWAITS THEM!...
...
...THAT NIGHT,
IT SEEMS THAT
HSR CAN SEE
EVERY STAR
IN THE SKY!...IT'S SO CLEAR...
AND HIS STOMACH IS FULL
WITH FISH, RICE, AND VEGETABLES...
AND HE'S LAYING
ON HIS BACK
ON A COMFY KNAPSACK...
YEAH...YOU KNOW WHAT'S NEXT...
THE
'BIG SCREEN IN HIS SLEEP'
TURNS ON
FOR SOME
FRONT-ROW SEAT
IMAGINARY
ACTION!
FIRST...
HE'S IMMERSED IN
RIDING A DOG SLED
IN THE SNOW
THEN,
HE STARTS
THINKING OF
FOOD AGAIN!
AND AFTER THAT,
SOME IMAGES
OF THE
CITY BLEND THEIR WAYS INTO
HIS 'VIEW!'
"WELCOME TO
THE WORLD'S MOST NATURAL RIVER,
MY EXPLORER!" SAYS THIS
'MOTHER NATURE MOUTHPIECE,'
THAT
ONLY YOU, SIR, CAN SEE...
AND THAT'S TRUE FOR ALL PEOPLE,
EACH WITH A...
...UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE!"
AND SHE CONTINUES,
"IF YOU GIVE MORE THAN
YOU TAKE...
GOD WILL NEED TO
GIVE YOU...
...MORE...TO SPREAD!"
"AND...THE GOOD THAT YOU...DO FOR PEOPLE...
...TRY TO HAVE THE EFFECTS
OF THE GOOD DEEDS
LAST...
...MORE THAN A DAY!....
...NOW, MY YOUNG EXPLORER...
...GO OUT
INTO THE WORLD
AND
MAKE IT 'MORE GOOD!'"
NOW...AFTER A PROLONGED
SILENCE IN HIS SLUMBER...
"YOU WHO!...
IT'S GETTING DARK!" SAYS
THE GUIDE...
"YEAH!" SAYS HSR, "LET'S
CLOSE THE DOORS
ON
OUR CRAFT
TO KEEP THE
MOSQUITOS AND
PANTHERS AWAY!...
ESPECIALLY,
THOSE
PANTHERS!"
"Doxycycline with Imovec...and...
...Chloroquine with Zinc...are said,
by some,
to be...
...Curing People and
getting them
out of Bed!
There's a
'New Sheriff'
In Town!...And now,
there's another way
to rid Your Mouth of
the ever-growing
menace of Bacteria in Your
Dental Biofilm...
...both microscopically
and
macroscopically!
The Winge 'Crank' Toothbrushing Challenge,
created by Yours Truly,
the 'King' of this Blog,
is
a brushing move
like no other!
It is performed by placing the toothbrush
bristles on the
front teeth, and using
an up and down
wrenching
motion as wide
as one desires!
And, it is probably the
'most fun and unpredictable'
method...and probably the
'messiest,' when toothpaste
is added!...Watch Out!
Here are the Health Scientists that
carved out some Preventive Dental History
by contributing a
Recognized
Toothbrushing Method...
carved out some Preventive Dental History
by contributing a
Recognized
Toothbrushing Method...
Charles Cassedy Bass, M.D. (1875-1975),
in 1953,
emphasized the under-the-gums Sulcular
Brushing Method.
Harold J. Leonard, D.D.S., a Periodontist,
distilled his Vertical Strokes
regimen in 1939.
Alfred Civilian Fones, D.D.S. (1869-1938),
founded the Dental Hygiene Profession and
taught the first Hygiene Classes in
1913 in Bridgeport, Connecticut.
In 1934 he advocated using
larger circles over teeth and gums.
Paul Stillman, D.D.S.,
whose photo is unavailable at this time,
lived around the Great Depression Era
and
directed his Vibratory Pulsing style
in 1932.
W. J. Charters, D.D.S.,
(photo unavailable)
after WWII,
in 1948, prescribed using
a smaller circular vibratory motion.
Dickson G Bell (Smith-Bell),
also in 1948,
after
WWII,
pointed out that
sweeping the toothbrush gingivally
from the incisal or occlusal surface,
has value.
Here are the Styles that
Winge developed:
The Bounce
in 1999...
The Swing
in 2000...
The Slide
came in 2008...
Then the
Pendulum
showed itself
in 2018!
And, last,
but not least,
this Year, 2020,
sees the emergence
of
the Crank!
So...after
You finish
