There are many uses for a toothbrush. The most common use for a toothbrush is to clean your teeth. You can first wet the toothbrush under a sink or fountain of some sort. After the bristles of the toothbrush are slightly moist, you open a tube of toothpaste. Other products can be substituted for toothpaste, such as a homemade bicarbonate solution. After you have prepped your tube of toothpaste, you slowly squeeze a small amount of the paste onto the top of the bristles of the toothbrush. The optimal size for this paste is to be approximately the size of a standard pea. Too much toothpaste and it is bad for your teeth because there are small hard particles in the paste which, in large quantities, could damage your teeth. Too little toothpaste and it would not be enough to adequately foam up and cover all of your teeth. After applying the toothpaste to the toothbrush, you should close the tube of toothpaste. Then, you insert the toothbrush into your mouth and move it to and fro, rubbing the bristles against every side of each tooth. This should take about 2 minutes. After you are done brushing, you can rinse out your mouth with some water. Next, you should clean the brush by placing it under running water and rubbing the bristles with your finger. Then you can let the toothbrush dry on a nice, clean area until the next use.

There are two options to induce vomiting with a toothbrush. One method involves the use of the bristles at the head of the toothbrush, and the other method involves the use of the end of the toothbrush. Both methods are effective to some degree. However, any method to induce vomiting may not work for everyone.

First, with the head of the toothbrush, to induce vomiting you wet the bristles and move the head back and forth on the back of the tongue. When you start gagging do not stop moving it back and forth. Do not remove the toothbrush from your throat until you have stopped vomiting. Be sure that you wash the entire toothbrush thoroughly when you have finished.

Second, with the end of the toothbrush, to induce vomiting you wet the end and move it back and forth on the ridges at the back of your throat. When you start gagging do not stop moving it back and forth. Do not remove the toothbrush from your throat until you have stopped vomiting. Be sure that you wash the entire toothbrush thoroughly when you have finished.

Whether or not you are using either method, after vomiting gargle with warm water mixed with a spoonful of baking soda to neutralize the gastric acids in your mouth before brushing your teeth, flossing, or rinsing with antiseptic mouthwash.

Why call tooth brush instead of teeth brush?

Good question. I would say it's called tooth brush because of the size of the brush. Technically, it really only brushes one tooth at the time, hence a teeth brush would be longer and more cumbersome to use in the mouth.

How do you clean suede boots?

Use a clean soft tooth brush and foam up Dawn dish soap with warm water. Only use the suds! Don't saturate the clean toothbrush. Put the suds on the tooth brush and gently rub the tooth brush back and forth on the suede AND don't saturate it! When finished use a paper towel to get any dampness off the suede. When the shoes are dry then take the dry soft tooth brush and brush the backwards against the suede to bring up the plush.
