Why We Should Brush Our Teeth

Nicholas Ruiz VPA 192 Informative Speech Why we should brush our teeth Goodmorning, Let me ask have you ever been on the train and been sitting next to someone with terrible breath? Or been on a date and you kiss the person your with and they have a horrid smell seeping out of there mouth. These simple smelly encounters would be easily avoided if we all keep up with out oral hygiene. My name is Nicholas Ruiz and today I am here to inform you of how to keep your oral hygiene up to par and why it is so important to do so.As a dental assistant for the past 3 years I have been taught to show people how to keep the general oral hygiene were it should be. A couple of the most commonly asked questions I get is what kind of tooth brush should I use or what kind of tooth paste they should use. I tell them a soft brisal toothbrush(show soft toothbrush) is the way to go and any kind of toothpaste with Fluoride in it will work. I spoke with a doctor in my office Dr. Tad Picker he stated,† I always recommend a soft brisal toothbrush.It nurtures your teeth while you brush as were a firm brisal toothbrush can wear away the enamel of your teeth. (show firm toothbrush) And when it comes to toothpaste I say aslong at it has Flouride in it it is ok. Me personally I use Aquafresh. † Also, an equally big part is flossing everyday. You can be fantastic at brushing your teeth but only floss can get into those nasty area that your couldn’t get when you brush. Finally, a good product to use is Listerine it really does kill any of those excess germs left in your mouth after brushing.Now you should be brushing your teeth 2 times a day. I brush 3 times a day but that’s just a preference. Now when you get ready to brush your teeth, you don’t glob the toothpaste on like in the commercials with the little tale like in the commercials. (Show how not to apply toothpaste) You apply as small but sufficient amount of paste. (Show how to apply toothpaste) Now when you begin to brush you suppost to do it on a 45 degree angle as so †¦like your messaging your teeth. show example) Brushing hard does not help in your efforts to keep your teeth clean. It pushes the germs and everything in your mouth further down and makes it harder to reach. Now let me ask you why is it so important to brush and what happens when you don’t. ( Let audiences react) A lot of great answers. It is important because not only does oral hygiene effect your mouth but it can also effect other parts of your body such as your heart. Oral hygiene is a very important ingredient to the collection of things that keep your body balanced.Now when you don’t brush your teeth what happens is that any food that you eat stays on your teeth which breakdowns to sugars which turns into acids that burns away your tooth enamel. This cause things such as cavities and other infections. In conclusion oral hygiene is and should be a major part of your daily life. It is importan t that you have the right tools to be able to keep up with it. If kept up with your teeth with stay healthy and you wont have to wear those bulky dentures. Thank you.

Social Anxiety

Anxiety With awareness of different mental and psychologically disorders on the rise, one in particular caught my eye. Social anxiety disorder has always intrigued me due to its close relationship to shyness and has sparked many different questions pertaining to how this disorder differs from Just being shy. For my research paper, I would Like to explore how this disorder's symptoms are different from being shy as well as explore why people with social anxiety exhibit these symptoms.In exploring why people exhibit symptoms, I hope to find different studies that show how social anxiety disorder affects the brain and how people with the disorder's brains differ from people who do not suffer from it. Along with this, I would also like to be able to thoroughly explain how the disorder affects the dally lives of sufferers and when symptoms of the disorder begin as well as how to recognize that these symptoms correlate to having social anxiety disorder. For my research paper, I would like to explain different treatments for the disorder and figure their effectiveness as well as why they are effective.I will also examining the correlation between social anxiety and many other different mental or psychological disorders and determining if there is a direct relationship between any two.

Marilyn J. Essex, Marjorie H. Klein, Marcia J. Clattery, H. Hill Goldsmith, Ned H. Kaolin; Early â€Å"Risk Factors and Developmental Pathways to Chronic High Inhibition and Social Anxiety Disorder in Adolescence. † American Journal of Psychiatry. There has been evidence that suggests that high levels of behavioral inhibition act as a precursor for social anxiety disorder.The authors of this article took it upon themselves to evaluate and identify the different risk factors that may also play a part in development of the disorder. They conducted a study which evaluated 238 children who they followed from birth until the 9th grade. Different behavioral factors were evaluated in each participant. After evaluating each factor in the children, results showed that each factor examined accounted for greater and chronic inhibition. By the ninth grade, the study indicated that chronic high inhibition was associated with a lifetime of social anxiety disorder.Conclusions were made that high levels of inhibition were directly related to the development of social anxiety by adolescence. I will be able to use this source in my research paper to show the early signs of social anxiety. How the disorder develops will also be expanded upon using this article in my paper.

Background characteristics of individuals with symptoms of social anxiety were compared to those who participated in the screening who had no symptoms of social anxiety disorder. The barriers to previous mental health treatment for all participants in the study were evaluated and compared.The results of the study indicated that people with social anxiety have a higher risk of functional impairment and feelings of isolation as well as run a higher risk of suicide. They also reported financial barriers, uncertainty of where to seek help, and fear of what others may think which decreased the likelihood for them to seek help. Conclusion were preventing sufferers from seeking the proper help needed.

In order to back her claims, Book took it upon herself to conduct several different studies to analyze this relationship.In one study, she and some of her colleagues determined whether social anxiety serves as a detriment to successful outcomes in traditional forms of alcohol and drug use therapy. The results from the study showed that there was clear correlation between social anxiety and alcohol abuse.

Self-Reflective Paper - 838 Words

This semester in English 1302 my perspective on writing has immensely changed. In the previous semester I struggled and nearly passed by a hair because I did not clearly understand the objectives that were given. In this semester, my mistakes had to be fixed. Although it was a process, I finally got around to clearly understanding what the objectives were for English 1302 and how to apply them to my papers for this course. The first objective that is given in the syllabus is to meet the requirement of 20 pages total by the end of the course. The objective includes being able to revise and edit papers in a proper fashion. There was a time where revising and editing did not seem important, however, it can make a significant difference in a grade. Being able to revise and re-edit can have its impacts because it causes you to see the mistakes that you could constantly be making and not realize. It can also help you to become a better writer. Roughly I have met 20 pages in this course aft er turning in this paper, and not including citation pages. In paper 1 I was able to write 4 and a half pages and that was due to my interest in the topic, arguing about the significance of paragraphs 14 and 15 of Martin Luther King Jr’s Letter from Birmingham Jail.

My uncle and I on the beach, our ankles buried in wet sand. Three ofus girls in party dresses, posing for the camera. All of these are snapshots of the past. Theyare memories frozen and preserved by chemicals on glossy paper, reminding the viewer ofthe things that have passed. My computer’s hard drive holds even more photos, thousands ofdigitally captured remnants of a moment that seemed important enough to trap with a click ofthe camera.Collecting pictures for the yearbook has shown me how much has truly changed.

The girl who wore giant sweatshirts and boys’ pants has become the promqueen. The most popular kid in fifth grade has become a whispered name, with everyoneasking, â€Å"Whatever happened to†¦?† These people I shared my animal crackers with duringsnack time have become strangers to me.I sifted through the boxes of old memories with wonder. I constantly marvel at thepower that remembering something, or someone, can hold over a mind. As I dug through thecontents of my drawers, I found a folder of notes written to me by my friend who passedaway. The nostalgia that wound itself around my heart felt like a rubber band worn too longon a wrist. It unlocked a floodgate of sudden realizations, like blood rushing back into numbfingers. I thought of all the people who had gathered at this friend’s wake, putting theirdifferences aside to mourn together. We had held hands around a candle lit in her memory,our eyes closed so that we might witness a miracle. For an instant, we were connected by ourgrief.Despite the fleeting melding of sad souls, I have since grown apart from many ofthose individuals. I still see them everyday—a small school means there is no avoidinganyone. Sometimes we smile at one another, a half-hearted acknowledgment of ourfamiliarity. It is exceedingly strange to think that our amity has been reduced to a briefgreeting. Some of the people who now pass by without a second glance are the same peoplewho I stayed on the phone with for hours. We knew everything about each other, and thereare so many documents that can testify to what once was.Even my closet door is a canvas of forgotten names. There are at six or sevenhandprints of my dearest friends at the time. They have outgrown their handprints, and ourfriendship. The drawings that are strewn across the door are relics of the recent past. Theyexist only in the world of memories, floating in the evanescent abyss that runs on theenigmatic time zone of teenagers.When I was young, even a single minute could feel like forever. The impatience ofchildhood made me believe in the ever after promised to me by fairytales. Suddenly, I amseventeen and time is moving too fast. All around me there are things, people, and evenplaces that I have outgrown—boxes of clothes I no longer fit into, people I no longer hangout with, places I no longer go to. The tree that my sister climbed is no longer there. Maeganand I still talk, but we have not been close for years. The group of us standing in a line havesince grown up and gone our separate ways. The sand that my uncle and I trapped our feetbeneath is eroding. The girls in party dresses are only acquaintances now. Human beings arechanging organisms. We are bound to outgrow things, but when we do new things take theirplaces. Today, there are flowers where the tree once stood, I have grown closer to otherpeople, and we go to a different beach. One day, the present may become another box ofmemories. In the mean time, it fits just fine.
