The New..'Crank'...Toothbrushing Challenge ...Invented By Ralph Winge, D.D.S....Is...'The Silliest'...Method Of All!..

"Get Out!...And...Crank You, You Germs!...All You Microbes...Causing All Of These...Mouth And World...Problems!...You Guys Are...


...Way Past...Getting On...My Last Nerve!"...
























































































































"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 

Our Relationship,

will It?"




















































































































































































"The Best thing

that has happened to Us is...


...Sheltering In Place!"




















































































































Doctor Report!...

If You ever go to

The Sphinx and the


great Pyramids,


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

I Majored in


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!,"




and

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



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


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



PASSENGER...

THEN

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 

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 

TAKES OFF,

A LADY SAILS

UP TO HIM 

AND

ADMIRES HIS CRAFT,

AND SAYS,


"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

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


JUNGLE,

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,'



...THERE ARE SOME THINGS

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...

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,


Ralph C. Winge, D.D.S.,

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...





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

consuming 

Your



Nutrition,

and after flossing...

'Crank it Up' to



Keep Your

Smile Complex



looking Great!

"A lot of People are Upset

and even Angry

happening in the World today!...


I see them practicing the 'Crank'

when they brush, as a


defiant act to show

'Untamed Strength and Toughness and Daring!'"
