More than one way to brush a tooth

Ghoulish Delight · 05-29-2007, 09:36 AM

There are 2 types of people in this world. Thems what wet their toothbrush before putting toothpaste on, and thems what start with the paste.

So, which be you?

There needs to be third choice: those who wet the toothbrush before AND after putting toothpaste on.

And maybe a fourth choice: those who don't brush their teeth.

My toothbrush is already wet. Wetting it afterward (which I did for a while) just makes the toothpaste fall off. Bleh. Then it's a mess at the bottom of the sink and wasted paste. I just use less and wet beforehand (people use too much toothpaste, anyway.)

3rd option added. I'm not adding the fourth because those people don't deserve to be acknowledged.

I don't wet the brush at all.

Toothpaste on, wet brush, brush teeth.

Toothpaste first, wet brush using entirely too strong a stream of water and lose first toothpaste application, curse, then turn down water, reapply toothpaste and water and then gag as I realize the water was on warm. Somewhere in this scenario I usually get a bit of toothpaste in my eye.

I don't wet the brush either. Just toothpaste and then Sonicare. The vibration is enough to fling toothpaste all over my mouth. If it were wetter, there would be an unacceptable mess.

Before and after... I like lots of water.
