HOW TO Brush Teeth Without a Toothbrush

If you're like most people, you can't leave the house in the morning or go to bed at night without brushing your teeth. If you're ever stuck without a toothbrush, however (perhaps you are camping, or forgotten to pack one while traveling), you can brush your teeth without a toothbrush. In a pinch, at least, you can get your teeth clean enough until you can find a toothbrush.

Instructions

Step 1 - Wash your hands thoroughly. With your forefinger still wet, rub your finger over the teeth and gums on one side of your mouth. Rinse your finger and repeat on the other side.

Step 2 - Wet the end of a paper towel. Wrap around your fingers and rub over your teeth and gums in small, circular motions. Work front, back and top of teeth to remove as much buildup as you can.

Step 3 - Rinse your mouth vigorously with clean water. Swish water over and through your teeth as forcefully as possible. Spit water out and repeat as many times as it takes for your teeth to feel clean.

Step 4 - Use mouthwash. Many brands of mouthwash now contain fluoride and teeth whitening agents. If you are without a toothbrush but have mouthwash, "brush" your teeth by swishing some mouthwash over your teeth.

Step 5 - Carry a product called Floss & Wipe© wherever you go. This will come in handy if you have forgotten your toothbrush while traveling. Simply open the package and use the handy floss and soft cleaning cloth combination to clean your teeth.

Tips & Warnings

- If you have toothpaste, you can still use it without a toothbrush. Put a small amount on your wet finger or on the end of the wet paper towel and follow steps 1 or 2.

- Brush without a toothbrush while camping by finding and chewing one end of a green twig. Once frayed, the end of the twig will act as a brush.

- Do not brush your teeth without a toothbrush over a long period of time. While these methods work in a pinch, proper care of your teeth should be exercised at all times to avoid dental problems.

Sachin's debut match was against Pakistan in a test
 match on 1989.
 His one-day international (ODI) debut was on December 18
against Pakistan. His maiden ODI century came on September 9, 1994
 against Australia in Sri Lanka at Colombo, just six years after his debut.


















On December 11, 1988, aged just 15 years and 232 days,

 Tendulkar scored 100 not out in his debut first-class match for
 Bombay against Gujarat, making him the youngest Indian to
 score a century on first-class debut.

Family: Father - Ramesh Tendulkar, Mother - ,

Wife - Anjali Mehta, Daughter - Sarah, Son - Arjun,
Brothers - Nitin & Ajit Tendulkar, Sister - Savita.



In 1995, Sachin Tendulkar married Anjali (born November 10, 1967),

 a paediatrician and daughter of Gujarati industrialist
Anand Mehta. They have two children, Sara (born October 12, 1997),
 and Arjun (born September 24, 1999).













 
 
He narrowly missed out on becoming the then youngest Test centurion
in Napier in February 1990, but Tendulkar finally gets it at 17 years
and 112 days. A wonderful rearguard innings at Old Trafford in August
1990 still remains one of his best

 
Tendulkar's first Test hundred in India also comes against England.
He hits 24 fours and one six in his 165 in Madras(Chennai) as India
go on to win by an innings and 22 runs
A fine Nelson: In November 1992, Tendulkar's 111in the second Test
against South Africain Johannesburg makes him the youngest batsman
to reach 1000 Test runs. His century comes in a first-innings total of 227



Captaincy goes, but Tendulkar the run-machine is at its
best in 1998. Two of his favourites - opponents Australia
and venue Chennai - come together, and the bowlers
 pale into insignificance as his second-innings 155
turns a deficit into a match-winning total.
Later, a certain Mr. Shane Warne suffers from nightmares
 
At the same ground in 1999, the first sign his body is suffering.
In spite of a back injury, Tendulkar scores a masterful 136.
India, though, fall short by 16 runs against Pakistan,
and a poor fourth-innings record remains a blot in Tendulkar's CV

 
Even the Don takes note of Tendulkar's batting, and says the Indian
 batsman's style resembles him the most among those from the modern era.
Tendulkar's tour of Australia in 1999-2000 - he's captain as well - is not in
 keeping with high expectations, with a few rough decisions coming his way

 
He yet tops the batting charts for India. India's hopes fade whenever
he departs, and the captain cuts a lone figure as his team loses all
 three Tests. He steps down from captaincy during South Africa's visit in 2000


Tendulkar makes 10 in both innings, but he picks up three wickets
in the Australia's second innings as India win the epic Test at Eden
Gardens in 2001 to level the series

 
India and Tendulkar have an unsuccessful tour of New Zealand
in 2002-03. The team begins the 2003 World Cup in South Africa
 under pressure; however, they make it to the final with Tendulkar the
Player of the Tournament

 
A workmanlike innings in Sydney during the 2003-04 Australia tour
helps Tendulkar to his first double-century overseas. His unbeaten scores of 241
and 60 - in Steve Waugh's farewell Test - almost results in a series win

 
Another 10,000: During his 52 against Pakistan in the Kolkata Test in 2005,
Tendulkar becomes the first to score 10,000 runs in both Tests and ODIs
 
At home in Australia: The crowds are entertained as Tendulkar makes
two hundreds in the four-Test series in 2007-08. India lose 2-1,
but Tendulkar goes home a happy man, scoring 117 not out and 91 as
India beat Australia in the finals to clinch the tri-nation one-day tournament

 
Playing a Test in Pakistan after nearly 15 years, Tendulkar scores an
unbeaten 194 - a declaration denies him the double. However, it's Virender
Sehwag - who developed with Tendulkar as a role model - who steals
the show in Multan, becoming the first Indian triple-centurion

 
Captaincy comes calling, and Tendulkar leads India to a win in the one-off home
Test against Australia to bag the newly instituted Border-Gavaskar Trophy,
named after two players he would eventually join in the 10,000-run club
A special win: Tendulkar holds the trophy after India beat England 1-0
during their 2007 tour, his first series victory outside the subcontinent

 
Come Chennai and he's back to his best. Makes a hundred in
 the first innings as India win a memorable series 2-1


 
 
Playing a Test in Pakistan after nearly 15 years, Tendulkar scores an
unbeaten 194 - a declaration denies him the double. However,
it's Virender Sehwag - who developed with Tendulkar as a role model -
who steals the show in Multan, becoming the first Indian triple-centurion

 
He's out stumped for the only time in his career, in Bangalore, but Tendulkar
is still the best batsman on show and the Player of the Series as India win 1-0

Sachin now holds the record for having taken most one-day runs
(17000+) and centuries (45).Highest Score - 186*. He belongs to the
group of rare sportsmen and his records might never be broken.
Sachin Tendulkar has also captained India for few years.
