“The bicycle, the bicycle surely, should always be the vehicle of novelists and poets.” -Christopher Morley (Christopher Darlington Morley (1890 - 1957))
The first bicycle in the world was invented in 1817. Riders sat on its seat and scooted it, or pushed it along with their feet, because it had no pedals - which no doubt wore out shoes quickly. The first bicycle to be fitted with pedal cranks and iron rims was built in 1840 by a Scottish blacksmith named Kirkpatrick MacMillan.

Bicycle Facts
- Bicycles are rider-powered land vehicles.
- Bicycles have two large rotating wheels, with a rear wheel following behind a front wheel.
- The two wheels are connected to a frame, to which is also attached pedals, the rider’s seat, movable handlebars, manual brake controls, and accessories such as safety reflectors, bells, horns, electric lights, a cargo basket, and a water bottle.
- Bicycles typically use a chain to transmit the rider’s pedal-power to the rear wheel, which propels the machines forward.
- Balancing a bicycle to keep it upright is accomplished by the rider shifting his or her weight, leaning slightly to the left or the right.
- Steering is accomplished by moving the handlebars to turn the front wheel.
- Bicycles are most commonly used to transport a rider, but can also be fitted with racks or baskets for carrying cargo, and can even tow small trailers.
- More than one billion bicycles are found throughout the world.
“The bicycle is a curious vehicle. Its passenger is its engine.” -John Howard

Bicycles: Two-wheeled exercise machines, operated by humans, and invented for dogs to control body fat. To get maximum aerobic benefit, dogs must hide behind a bush and dash out, bark loudly, and run alongside for a few yards; the person swerves and falls into the bushes, and the dog can then walk away, refreshed from exercise.

Road bikes typically have thinner tires inflated to higher pressures than those found on off-road bikes such as mountain bikes, dirt bikes, and all-terrain bikes, taking advantage of the smoother surfaces that roads generally provide.
“The other day on a ride, I was speeding down a narrow, twisting, mountain road. Then along came a man who was driving very slowly uphill toward me, honking his horn, and shouting at me. “Pig, pig!” he said. “Pig, pig!” So I gave him a rude look and shouted back some insults as I sped by him. Still thinking about this awful man and his shouting, I turned the corner and promptly collided with a pig.” -Author Unknown

Alistair: Attire.
Bicycle tires come in many different types, so find out which type of tires best suit your cycling needs. Thin tires are for bicycling on pavement and on racing tracks, surface-gripping tires are for use on rough terrain such as rocky mountains, wide tires are for snow, and puncture-proof tires are for riding over ground that may have broken glass, sharp stones, or other material that can puncture or slice tires.

“The journey of life is like a man riding a bicycle. We know he got on the bicycle and started to move. We know that at some point he will stop and get off. We know that if he stops moving and does not get off he will fall off.” -William Golding (1911 - 1993): as quoted in Abby Adams: “An Uncommon Scold” (1989)
“A bicycle does get you there and more . . . and there is always the thin edge of danger to keep you alert and comfortably apprehensive. Dogs become dogs again and snap at your raincoat; potholes become personal. And getting there is all the fun.” -Bill Emerson: ‘On Bicycling’ article published in the “Saturday Evening Post” (29 July 1967)

Bicycles (a word commonly shorted to ‘bikes’) have two wheels. Human-propelled machines similar to bicycles include one-wheeled unicycles, three-wheeled tricycles, and four-wheeled quadracycles. Although unicycles (one wheel), tricycles (three wheels), and quadracycles (four wheels) do not have two wheels, they are sometimes still referred to as ‘bikes.’

“The bicycle is just as good company as most husbands and, when it gets old and shabby, a woman can dispose of it and get a new one without shocking the entire community.” -Ann Strong: as quoted in the “Minneapolis Tribune” (1895) newspaper
The word ‘bicycle’ is derived from the Latin ‘bi’ meaning ‘twice’ or ‘double’ and the Greek ‘kuklos’ meaning ‘wheel.’ A ‘cyclist’ is a rider who powers a bicycle by moving the pedals.

“When man invented the bicycle, he reached the peak of his attainments. Here was a machine of precision and balance for the convenience of man. And, unlike subsequent inventions for man’s convenience, the more he used it, the fitter his body became. Here, for once, was a product of man’s brain that was entirely beneficial to those who used it, and of no harm or irritation to others. Progress should have stopped when man invented the bicycle.” -Elizabeth West: “Hovel in the Hills” (1 January 1977)
“The bicycle had, and still has, a humane, almost classical moderation in the kind of pleasure it offers. It is the kind of machine that a Hellenistic Greek might have invented and ridden.

Sometimes riding a bicycle is not safe. A major problem in some areas is that riding a bicycle on the streets carries a high risk of injury or even death because of unsafe motor-vehicle drivers. More attention needs to be given to this problem through education of motor-vehicle drivers - especially in teaching them that they will need to share the roads with other types of vehicles, no matter any contrary opinions. Motor vehicle drivers who create unsafe situations for cyclists must be denied the privilege of driving. More can be done to redesign streets and cities with the needs of cyclists in mind, making them welcome users, and not people who are merely tolerated. One way to make progress toward such goals is for bicycle riders to organize and work together on achieving them.

One solution is the Yerka Bike, the world’s first theft-proof bicycle, which can be seen and purchased at https://www.yerka.world/.

Daisy Bell
Daisy, Daisy,

I’m half crazy,
All for the love of you!
It won’t be a stylish marriage,
I can’t afford a carriage,
But you’ll look sweet
On the seat
Of a bicycle
Built for two!
By Harry Dacre (pseudonym of Frank Dean (1857 - 1922))
When Frank Dean, also known by the pseudonym Harry Dacre, came to the United States of America from England, he was shocked at the cost of the duty for the bicycle he had brought along. A friend chanced to remark, “Lucky for you it was not built for two,” which gave him the idea for his famous song “Daisy Bell,” which in turn started the whole cycle of bicycle songs popular in the 1890’s. Is this an example of someone making the best of things?

“Bicycling, furthermore, is the nearest approximation I know to the flight of birds. The airplane simply carries a man on its back like an obedient Pegasus; it gives him no wings of his own . . . Plunging free downhill is like a hawk stooping. On the level stretches you may pedal with a steady rhythm like a heron flapping; or you may like an accipitrine hawk, alternate rapid pedaling with gliding. If you want to test the force and direction of the wind, there is no better way than to circle, banked inward, like a turkey vulture. When you have the wind against you, headway is best made by yawing or wavering, like a crow flying upwind.” -Louis J. Halle, Junior: “Spring in Washington” (1947)

“It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -Ernest Hemingway
Many bicycles are sold with seats that are too small, narrow, and uncomfortable for riders. This is one place where bicycle manufacturers unwisely skimp on materials, with the ridiculous excuse that a narrow seat will fit better inside the cardboard box in which an unassembled bicycle is shipped. Many cyclists buy and install after-market seats that are wider, padded, and even equipped with springs to make the ride less bumpy and more comfortable.

“It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -Ernest Hemingway
Many bicycles are sold with seats that are too small, narrow, and uncomfortable for riders. This is one place where bicycle manufacturers unwisely skimp on materials, with the ridiculous excuse that a narrow seat will fit better inside the cardboard box in which an unassembled bicycle is shipped. Many cyclists buy and install after-market seats that are wider, padded, and even equipped with springs to make the ride less bumpy and more comfortable.

“‘The method of loci,’ an imaginal technique known to the ancient Greeks and Romans and described by Yates (1966) in her book “The Art of Memory” as well as by Luria (1969). In this technique the subject memorizes the layout of some building, or the arrangement of shops on a street, or any geographical entity which is composed of a number of discrete loci. When desiring to remember a set of items the subject ‘walks’ through these loci in their imagination and commits an item to each one by forming an image between the item and any feature of that locus. Retrieval of items is achieved by ‘walking’ through the loci, allowing the latter to activate the desired items. The efficacy of this technique has been well established (Ross and Lawrence 1968, Crovitz 1969, 1971, Briggs, Hawkins and Crovitz 1970, Lea 1975), as is the minimal interference seen with its use.” -John O’Keefe and Lynn Nadel: “The Hippocampus as a Cognitive Map” (7 December 1978)

Three elderly men were at the doctor’s office for a memory test. The doctor asked the first man, “What is three times three?” “274,” came the reply. The doctor rolled his eyes and looked up at the ceiling, and said to the second man, “It’s your turn. What is three times three?” “Tuesday,” replied the second man. The doctor shook his head sadly, then asked the third man, “Okay, your turn. What are three times three?” “Nine,” said the third man. “That’s great!” said the doctor. “How did you get that?” “Simple,” he said, “just subtract 274 from Tuesday.”

Three sisters, who were 92, 94, and 96 years of age, lived in a house together. One night the 96-year-old drew a bath. She put her foot in and paused. She yelled to the other sisters, “Was I getting in or out of the bath?” The 94-year-old yelled back, “I don’t know. I’ll come up and see.” She started up the stairs and paused. “Was I going up the stairs or down?” The 92-year-old was sitting at the kitchen table having tea and listening to her sisters. She shook her head and said, “I sure hope I never get that forgetful, knock on wood.” She then yelled, “I’ll come up and help both of you as soon as I see who’s at the door.”

Three elderly men were at the doctor’s office for a memory test. The doctor asked the first man, “What is three times three?” “274,” came the reply. The doctor rolled his eyes and looked up at the ceiling, and said to the second man, “It’s your turn. What is three times three?” “Tuesday,” replied the second man. The doctor shook his head sadly, then asked the third man, “Okay, your turn. What are three times three?” “Nine,” said the third man. “That’s great!” said the doctor. “How did you get that?” “Simple,” he said, “just subtract 274 from Tuesday.”
“Age doesn’t always make you as forgetful as you may have been led to believe. It’s really having far too many facts to remember and too many tasks that must be completed that makes you forgetful.” -Author Unknown
Three sisters, who were 92, 94, and 96 years of age, lived in a house together. One night the 96-year-old drew a bath. She put her foot in and paused. She yelled to the other sisters, “Was I getting in or out of the bath?” The 94-year-old yelled back, “I don’t know. I’ll come up and see.” She started up the stairs and paused. “Was I going up the stairs or down?” The 92-year-old was sitting at the kitchen table having tea and listening to her sisters. She shook her head and said, “I sure hope I never get that forgetful, knock on wood.” She then yelled, “I’ll come up and help both of you as soon as I see who’s at the door.”

“In order to keep a true perspective of one’s importance, everyone should have a dog that will worship him and a cat that will ignore him.” -Dereke Bruce
A pet cat and a pet dog cannot eat from the same bowl, as neither one should eat the food meant for the other. Even though modern processed pet foods all tend to look the same, the ingredients are different because the nutritional needs of the animals are quite different.
While cats have only about 473 taste buds and do not have a ‘sweet tooth,’ dogs have about 1,700 taste buds, and appear to like sweets much more than cats do. Humans have approximately 9,000 taste buds.
Domestic cats, just like their wild forebears, are carnivores, or animals that eat other animals. Cat food is high, or dense, in protein, fat, minerals, vitamins, and calories. Cats eat smaller meals, but more meals, throughout the day, compared to dogs. When cats feel they have eaten enough, they will usually leave any remaining food in the bowl and go off to do other cat things, perhaps returning sometime later to eat again.

Domestic dogs, just like their wild forebears, and also like humans, are omnivores, or animals that eat both other animals and plants. Dog food will likely need to be measured with a measuring cup or scoop, or poured into a bowl of a known size, to ensure that a dog does not eat more than is required, because dogs will eat everything placed before them, even continuing to eat more than is healthy for them and well past fullness.
“‘I’d better not eat that,’ said no dog ever!” -Author Unknown
One way to reduce the chances of a pet cat or dog needing to go to the veterinarian after eating something it should not have eaten is to make sure that the cat does not eat the dog’s food and that the dog does not eat the cat’s food. Cats can digest small amounts of Vitamin D, but dogs cannot, so a dog that eats fish-based cat food might need to be taken to a veterinarian immediately.

I said “Hello” when I came in;

When cats chase their prey, they keep their heads level. Dogs and humans bob their heads up and down when chasing prey. Ducks cannot waddle, waddle, quack, quack without bobbing their heads. This could be a whole new way of looking at animals!
In contrast to dogs, cats have not undergone major changes during the attempted domestication process. This is likely because dogs got an earlier start; with the wild ancestors of dogs having a similar omnivorous diet to humans and mostly living in groups as humans do, they began voluntarily hanging around human settlements, possibly to scavenge discarded or unguarded food or to beg for food. Cats, having a strictly carnivorous diet, being nocturnal or more active at night, and often living solitary lives, may have been less drawn to early human settlements. Much later, when humans began to live less by hunting wild animals and more by agriculture, cats may have been drawn into closer quarters with humans, because food crops such as grains and fruits attract rodents, birds, and other small animals that cats prey on.

House Rules For Dogs And Cats
Dear Dog and Cat,
When I tell you to move, it means to go someplace else, not switch positions with each other so there are still two of you in the way.
The dishes with the paw print are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Please note, placing a paw print in the middle of my plate and food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest.
The stairway was not designed by racecar drivers and is not a racetrack. Beating me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn’t help, because I fall faster than you can run.
I cannot buy anything bigger than a king size bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I will continue to sleep on the couch to ensure your comfort.
Look at videos of dogs and cats sleeping, they can actually curl up in a ball. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out the other end to maximize space used is nothing but sarcasm.
-Sincerely,
Your Tall Lanky Housemate

Can cats and dogs ever get along together? Yes, they can. Despite the stereotypes, not all dogs and cats are disagreeable towards each other. However, to increase the likelihood that a cat and a dog can live together without being adversaries, you may need to make some efforts. Begin if possible by introducing them while they are young animals, as a kitten and a puppy. At this age, they are learning about their surroundings and everything and everyone in it. They can become accustomed to each other’s presence, behaviors, appearances, and smells. You can facilitate the process by playing with them together, using pet toys and common everyday objects. However, it is important to always keep in mind that as different species, they will always have different nutritional needs, so each must have its own specific foods. They will also have different needs in sleep, activity level, and the amount and kind of attention they need from you. And, lest we forget, they will also have different needs when it comes to frequency of visits to the veterinarian.

Dog And Cat Owners Have Different Personalities
Dog owners and cat owners are as different as night and day, says an expert - who reveals the distinctive personality traits of each. People are like their pets, said Dr. Vinsey, Professor of Anthropology at Pace University in New York City, who made a six-year study of pets and their owners.
Dr. Vinsey characterizes dog owners this way:
- They tend to be more outgoing and sociable and they are more apt to be openly affectionate.
- Dog owners are more generous and helpful. They are more ambitious and assertive and more apt to take risks to reach their goals.
- Dog owners are more ‘outdoorsy’ - they love to tramp the hills, go camping, and participate in active, energetic sports.
Cat owners are a different type says Dr. Vinsey:
- They tend to be well-read, articulate and cultured and more imaginative, creative, and curious than dog owners.
- They are more apt to be loners. They enjoy privacy and tend to be aloof until they know someone well.
- Cat lovers are comfort lovers and tend to pamper themselves. They’re more finicky and choosy, have exotic tastes and are nonconformists. They also tend to be more opinionated and independent.
- Cat owners are indoor people. Their greatest joy is to curl up in front of a fire with a good book or a television miniseries to view.
But both cat and dog owners are far more flexible than people who don’t own pets, said the doctor. They take a less rigid approach to life and adjust more easily to changes in plans or circumstances, she said.

Cat hearing is better than dog hearing. Cats can hear sounds up to two octaves higher than humans can hear - but they will never tell you this, preferring to keep this ability exclusively for their own benefit.
Dogs are mentioned a total of 44 times in “The Bible,” 35 times in the ‘Old Testament,’ and 9 times in the ‘New Testament.’ Curiously, cats are never mentioned . . . maybe because they are not as good at herding sheep.

“Cats’ hearing apparatus is built to allow the human voice to easily go in one ear and out the other.” -Stephen Baker
Cat hearing is better than dog hearing. Cats can hear sounds up to two octaves higher than humans can hear - but they will never tell you this, preferring to keep this ability exclusively for their own benefit.
Dogs are mentioned a total of 44 times in “The Bible,” 35 times in the ‘Old Testament,’ and 9 times in the ‘New Testament.’ Curiously, cats are never mentioned . . . maybe because they are not as good at herding sheep.
“If animals could speak, the dog would be a blundering outspoken fellow, but the cat would have the rare grace of never saying a word too much.” -Mark Twain (pseudonym of Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835 - 1910))

Good news: You do not have to choose between having a pet cat or having a pet dog - just get six of each, and then you’ll have an even dozen . . . your neighbors will not know if they should call you the eccentric cat person, the eccentric dog person, or the zookeeper!
We are MFOL! . . . making funny faces at animals . . . why do the cats always run away . . . while the dogs just bark and yip and whine . . .

What is a poetic epigram? Po·et·ic ep·i·gram (pō-ĕt′ĭk ĕp′ ĭ-grăm′), noun: a short and often witty poem expressing a single thought or observation. The word ‘poetic’ is derived from the ancient Greek word ‘poiein’ meaning ‘to make,’ in the sense of ‘to craft.’ The word ‘epigram’ is derived from the ancient Greek word ‘epigraphein’ meaning ‘to write on’ or ‘to inscribe,’ and originally referred to inscriptions on stone monuments in ancient Greece.
What is an epigram? A dwarfish whole;
Its body brevity, and wit its soul.
-Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772 - 1834): ‘What is an Epigram?’ published in “The Morning Post” (23 September 1802)
A house is built of logs and stone,

A home is made of love and dreams.

What is a poetic epigram? Po·et·ic ep·i·gram (pō-ĕt′ĭk ĕp′ ĭ-grăm′), noun: a short and often witty poem expressing a single thought or observation. The word ‘poetic’ is derived from the ancient Greek word ‘poiein’ meaning ‘to make,’ in the sense of ‘to craft.’ The word ‘epigram’ is derived from the ancient Greek word ‘epigraphein’ meaning ‘to write on’ or ‘to inscribe,’ and originally referred to inscriptions on stone monuments in ancient Greece.
What is an epigram? A dwarfish whole;
Its body brevity, and wit its soul.
-Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772 - 1834): ‘What is an Epigram?’ published in “The Morning Post” (23 September 1802)
A house is built of logs and stone,
of piles and posts and piers;
A home is built of loving deeds,
that stand a thousand years.
-Victor Hugo (Victor Marie Hugo (1802 - 1885))
A house is made of bricks and beams,
A home is made of love and dreams.

Who was surrounded by levers and dials.

That missing old man of the isles!

Poetic epigrams vary in structure. They are typically couplets, or poems of two lines; tercets, or poems of three lines; quatrains, or poems of four lines; quintains or quintets, or poems of five lines; and sestains or sestets, or poems of six lines. Poetic epigrams of more than six lines are less common, in keeping with ‘conciseness’ and ‘brevity,’ words often used in describing them. Some have titles, some have none. Poetic epigrams can be found as a few lines within longer poems, in much the same way that couplets, tercets, quatrains, and structures of more lines can be found within much longer poems.

What is the origin of the word ‘caddie’? When Mary, later to become Queen of Scots, went to France as a young girl, allegedly for education as well as survival, Louis, King of France, learned that she loved the Scot’s game called golf. So, for her enjoyment, he had the first golf course outside of Scotland built. To make sure she was properly chaperoned and guarded while she played, the kingly Louis hired cadets from a military school to accompany her. Mary liked this a lot, and when she returned to Scotland, which may not have been a very good idea in the long run, she took the practice with her. In French, the word cadet is pronounced ‘ca-day,’ which the Scots changed to ‘caddie.’

Why do golf balls have dimples? Dimples reduce drag and generate lift, allowing golf balls to travel further through the air.
How many dimples are on golf balls? Golf balls typically have between 300 and 500 dimples, with an average of 336 dimples. To allow for innovation, the number of dimples is not set by any governing body in golf. Rather, other measurements of golf balls are set, which in turn tends to determine the number of dimples. The United States Golf Association and The R & A state that a ball must have a diameter, or distance across, of at least 1.680 inches and weigh no less than 1.620 ounces. Additionally, golf balls must be spherically symmetrical, having a dimple pattern that is the same no matter how the ball is oriented or where the axis on which it spins is located.
So, if the dimples on golf balls help reduce drag and generate lift so that golf balls can travel further through the air, why don’t aircraft and automobiles have dimples . . . hmmm . . . better go ask your grandfather, he might know!

A schoolteacher was taking her first golfing lesson. “Is the word spelled p-u-t or p-u-t-t?” she asked the instructor. “P-u-t-t is correct,” he replied. “Put means to place a thing where you want it. Putt means merely a vain attempt to do the same thing.”

The May 1990 issue of “Golf” magazine had good news for golf enthusiasts. It reported that Augusta National, the elite private golf course where the Masters tournament is held, would begin allowing public access to its course at certain times. As a result of this report, both Augusta National and “Golf” magazine received hundreds of calls from eager golfers inquiring about playing privileges. But the report was an April Fool’s joke, despite its placement in the May issue. “Golf” magazine was forced to publish a retraction, reaffirming that Augusta National was still a private club open only to members and guests.

In olden times, long, long ago, the Tooth Fairy had a terrible time keeping up with lost teeth. The ones that were nearby she could hear when they fell out. Her ears got very sharp, and she could tell the difference between a tooth falling from a mouth and, say, an acorn falling from a tree. But beyond her hearing distance, she needed elves to help her, just as Santa Claus needs elves. When a tooth fell many miles away, the nearest elf would hop on his unicorn and ride to the next elf to spread the news. And he’d ride his unicorn, and so on, until the news reached the Tooth Fairy, who would give the elf a coin, and he’d ride back to make sure it made its way under the appropriate pillow. A lot of work, don’t you think? The Tooth Fairy is very faithful, so she made the system work. But today we live in the digital age, and the Tooth Fairy takes every advantage of this. All of the Tooth Fairy’s helper elves now have cell phones and webcams that eliminate the need for unicorns. A good thing, because unicorns are very hard to find these days. But best of all is the tooth scanner, an electronic gadget that can scan a house and locate each of the people in it, then scan their teeth to identify a loose tooth before it even falls out. So, the Tooth Fairy’s elves scan their houses and watch for the loose teeth to fall, then they call TF herself, who comes in person with her reward. Even though the Tooth Fairy now uses new technology to keep up her good work, she’s still as special as she always was. So, remember that when your next tooth starts to wiggle a little bit, you’re already on the Tooth Fairy’s radar and you’re sure to get your prize.

The 32 permanent teeth include 8 incisors for cutting; 4 canines for tearing; 8 premolars, also known as bicuspids, for crushing; and 12 molars, which include 4 third molars, also known as wisdom teeth, for grinding.

What is orthodontics? Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry involving the diagnosis, prevention, and correction of ‘irregularities of the teeth and jaws,’ commonly referred to as ‘malocclusions.’ The English word ‘orthodontics’ is derived from the Greek words ‘orthos’ meaning ‘straight’ or ‘correct’ and ‘odontics’ meaning ‘teeth.’ Orthodontics addresses misaligned teeth, poor bite patterns, and abnormal jaw positioning, often involving dentofacial orthopedics to modify facial growth. Common treatment interventions include traditional braces, clear aligners, and removable retainers to gradually adjust tooth position and jaw alignment. Orthodontists are dental professionals who, after completing dental school, undergo three to five additional years of specialized training. In addition to alleviating or preventing physical health problems, orthodontics can boost self-esteem, as treatments align teeth, jaws, and lips. Among the well-known orthodontic patients are psychologist Joyce Brothers and comedian Phyllis Diller.

Scientists may someday develop methods that will allow adults to grow replacements for their damaged or missing teeth.

The earliest toothbrush was developed sometime around 3,000 B.C.E. It was called a ‘chew stick’ and was crafted from a small twig with a frayed end that was rubbed against the teeth. The first toothbrush with bristles is believed to have been developed in China in 1498. The bristles were taken from hogs at first, and later from horses. DuPont de Nemours introduced the first toothbrush with nylon bristles, called ‘Doctor West’s Miracle Toothbrush,’ in 1938. Squibb Pharmaceuticals marketed the first electric toothbrush, known as the Broxodent, in 1960.

Tooth Care Guidelines
- Brush your teeth either at least twice a day or within 20 minutes after each meal to ensure optimal dental health.
- Replace your toothbrush with a new one once every three months, because the bristles wear down with use and tiny microorganisms can grow in them over time.
- Thoroughly rinse your toothbrush after brushing and place it where it can dry completely.
- Flossing on a daily basis ensures healthy gums and teeth.
- Visit your dentist once every six months and any other time you feel a need to.
- Children as well as adults can have their teeth straightened and aligned by orthodontists.

-Your oral health is linked to your overall health. Bad teeth and gums are linked to many chronic diseases, including diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.
