First tooth to push though my gums meant others would follow one by one first baby on the block with a full mouth set and then to the dentist, my parents followed next. First brush, the mishwak, used in ancient times was applied to clean the gums and remove the grime, first cleaning agent, pumice rubbed in haste was a far cry from the first toothpaste. so dental care moves on to oral hygiene and product development took off with steam, the powdered pumice was thrown away and modern toothpaste became a mainstay. first tooth to brush and then to gleam first toothed smile building self-esteem lucky man whose teeth have given you a bite in a world of romance, the fires they'd ignite.
