In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Studies show that brushing can prevent gingivitis. Effective brushing should not only reach in between teeth to remove plaque, but also massage the gums to stimulate micro-circulation in that area. The best technique for brushing your teeth is the modified Bass Method. Orient your brush in such a way that its head is tilted at a 45-degree angle towards the gum line. This allows the bristles to clean 1 mm below the gum line. Use small, vibratory, circular strokes to remove plaque. After about 20 strokes, do a sweeping motion towards the biting surface of your teeth. For the biting surfaces, do a back and forth brushing stroke. Repeat these steps for all of your teeth. Flossing helps to remove plaque along the margins of your gums. This saves the gums from getting irritated by bacteria present in plaque. Floss first, since flossing brings the plaque stuck between the teeth out, and then you brush it away.  Get an elbow length piece of dental floss and wrap each end around your middle fingers. Leave at least an inch of floss between your fingers to work with. With the help of your index finger, gently slide the floss in between your teeth, starting at the back. Allow the floss to hug the surface of your tooth and gently slide down to the gum line. Then, drag the floss against the surface of your tooth. Do not force the floss in between your teeth as this could damage your gums and cause bleeding. Repeat the same steps between all of your teeth. Dissolve 9 teaspoons of salt in three cups of warm water. Rinse for 30 seconds, then spit out. Do this twice a day. Rinsing with salt water is an effective way to reduce the bacteria in your mouth. The bacteria present in plaque causes irritation of your gums. Salt rinses create a diffusion gradient inside the mouth. This means that it causes the bacteria to become dehydrated and die. Those that smoke are more likely to get gum disease, as smoking is very hard on the gums and bone, causing bone loss, which subsequently is more difficult to keep clean. The habit can give you a variety of gum problems, including sensitive gums, bleeding gums, or painful sores on the gums.
Summary: Brush your teeth at least twice a day. Floss before brushing. Use saline rinses. Quit smoking.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Allow it to cool down to a temperature where you can put your fingers into the tea and move them around without it hurting. Ensure that the bowl is large enough that you can fit your hair into it. Allow the product time to absorb into your hair. Rinse the product from your hair using lukewarm water. It will likely take about two weeks for your hair to look darker. After that, you may be able to maintain the color by soaking your hair once a week. Depending on the quality of your hair, it could return to its lighter color sooner. A variation on this method is to steep 3 heaping tablespoons (44.36 ml) of loose black tea leaves and 1 heaping tablespoon (14.79 ml) of rosemary leaves in 4 cups (960 ml) of boiling water for about 45 minutes then let it cool. After shampooing and rinsing your hair, pour the mixture over your hair. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes under a plastic cap, then rinse it out with lukewarm water.
Summary: Make a strong pot of black tea. Place the black tea in a large bowl. Soak your hair in the tea for about 15 minutes. Wash your hair. Repeat every day for two weeks. Try a variation.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You don’t have to wear makeup, but if you do, be sure to apply makeup that works with your glasses. If your glasses have thin frames, opt for thinner eyeliner. Apply thicker liner to balance out thick frames. Try cat-eye style eyeliner to compliment cat-eye style glasses. The geek chic look is best paired with a fresh face. Use concealer to brighten up the area under your eyes, and dab a little blush on your cheeks for a healthy glow. Complicated hairstyles can appear trendy, which might clash with your geek chic look. Instead, opt for simple and casual hairstyles, such as ponytails and messy buns. Curled or straightened hair works, too.  Try wearing your hair with a center part, and tuck it behind your ears. Or, sweep your hair into a messy bun, leaving out your bangs and some flyaways to frame your face. Schoolgirl-style headbands and oversized bows will complete your geek chic hairstyle.  Use a thick ribbon to tie your hair back in a ponytail or bun. If you want to wear your hair down, a simple fabric headband is the perfect compliment.
Summary:
Choose makeup that compliments your glasses. Brighten up your complexion. Go for simple hairstyles. Finish it off with a headband or a bow.
