The toothpaste and the water. What order?

Recommended Posts

I wet it over and over again... I like lots of toothpaste and lots of water and I brush forever... I guess that's why I don't have any cavities. I count as I brush too.

I am a little OC. Damn, I am just admitting all my idiosyncrises tonight. Did I even spell that word right? Who cares... I've been at work way too long now. [:/]

I put the toothpaste on then add water. Dunno why. And I always floss morning and night cuz it cuts the time you spend in the dental chair for cleaning in half. And I hate spending any more time than I have to at the dentist :P.

BTW Krisanne, you are too funny. I really enjoyed meeting you at the Byron boogie :)

Wet the brush, add the paste, wet it again.



OMG! THATS WHAT I DO! :o



Holey cow! Me too!

:o

me too. my option wasn't in the poll.. i just assumed everyone did it that way... the paste distributes more evenly this way or it makes them cleaner or something:S

Well, damn, I didn't think about you OC people who would do it twice!

This was a mildly amusing topic of discussion this past weekend. And yes, I must have been bored in the midst of my post-boogie letdown. :S

Nope. Misspelling things is one of your idiosyncracies, apparently. :P

Sounds like you should get a Sonicare. Great toothbrush, makes the whole process much more tolerable. It times four 30-second increments, and gives a beep and a momentary pause between each of them, for a total of 2 minutes of brushing time. That's what they say is recommended by dentists. (Turns out I had never been brushing my teeth for long enough, in the past.)

Oh, I should mention that FLOSSING IS ESSENTIAL. I am a convert to flossing. In years past, I would floss only if I felt something stuck in my teeth. Now, though (after mucho work that should not have been made necessary) I floss at least once a day, every day. MAN, you should see how much more stuff is removed than just by brushing.

For the record, I prefer to wet the toothbrush, apply the toothpaste, and then wet it quickly again before brushing.

The trouble with paste then water is, if the water pressure is unexpectedly high, you lose your paste down the sink. Which is pretty annoying, especially if it was the last bit of paste in the tube and you've just spent ten minutes squeezing it out.
