What steps do you take before you brush your teeth?

 

My friends think this is strange but I put water on my toothbrush first, then put the toothpaste on. I always use cold water as well.

 

Alot of people seem to put their toothpaste on first and then put water on the toothbrush and toothpaste. I don't like this method because of the increased risk of accidently washing the toothpaste off your brush before it gets to your mouth.

 

seriously?

Last dentist appointment they told me my brushing has improved haha.

 

my teeth were plaque free :D:D:D:D:D:D and no cavities....:smug:

Yeeeeeah. That's what that's for.

 

...Wait. Claw thing? o_O

 

Don't you know the little rubber thing at the end of the handle on some of the old-fashioned ones? I think it's just a glorified toothpick, actually. :laugh3:

^^^ Ahhh. Gotcha.

 

^ No, not on the end of the handle. Like on the back of the top of the toohbrush, on the other side of the bristles, there's ridges and stuff that serve as a tongue cleaner.

Like this, you mean?:

Unless if you want to get fancy and go for something like below, which I think just seems troublesome :uhoh::

^ That top picture is EXACTLY what I'm talking about. Thank you. :smug2:

I think a tongue cleaner would tickle too much.

^^ Oh no, it doesn't at all. The problem I have is trying to reach farther back on my tongue, and it makes me go into a gag reflex. Meh.

Water on the brush, water in the mouth to do some sort of pre-wash, toothpaste on the brush, push the button to start the toothbrush vibrations, wash the brush again and brush the teeth with the brush with just water, before another lot of water in the mouth to get rid of any objects.

 

Floss is evil when it breaks off in between your teeth.

 

OH MY GOD, I KNOW, RIGHT? Every time I try to floss it seems like it breaks and gets stuck in my teeth.

 

And sometimes it gets stuck and I can't get it out and then later I'll be eating breakfast or something and I'll accidentally swallow it. :confused:

 

You can all start feeling sorry for me now. Go ahead.

 

i don't even want to know what kind of cheap, crap floss you use. Mine definitely won't break!

tickling sucks, man! Everything tickles me, tongue cleaners, however, don't. Although i don't use them 'cause i think they're pretty useless.

No water at any stange. Only to clean the brush. Not even to rinse my mouth with!!

It only breaks occasionally, and because I'm really bad at flossing. And in honesty I've only swallowed it once. :P I am guilty once more of exagerating extravegantly.

Yeah, when I clean my tongue I have the same problem! :confused:

water, toothpaste, sometimes water again, then brush. i don't floss ever, really, but i've become a good mouthwash user, which gets the same job done for the most part.

 

i'm neurotic about brushing my teeth: i HAVE to do it before i go to sleep, no question. otherwise i just feel gross. and i've never had a cavity, so i think i'm doing ok :D

chris that's.....weird. but you should vote that in the poll!

the no water one

call me weird but i've always put the toothpaste on the brush, then the water lol

I put water on brush,then toothpaste,then more water,then it's brush time.
