Toothbrush?

[Allhallowsday]

Do you use a toothbrush?  Do you have a toothbrush?  Do you have teeth? 
I remember Wacky Packages stickers in the early '70s had CRUST toothpaste that was Garlic flavor...

That's better than the Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans in Snot and Vomit from the Harry Potter Series.

Do you have teeth?   

Trevor: [no teeth] "Actually, I don't have any ~ I had them removed in 2006 and had them replaced by sparkling white and brand spanking new false choppers."

Result: no more bad breath and I can smile and eat properly for the first time in a while. That operation took nearly two hours and whatever they gave me was damn good: I only felt pain three days later.

After 3 years of using an Oral-B battery powered toothbrush, I switched back to a regular one.
I like the battery powered one but the replacement heads for them are a whopping ten bucks each.
For the price of one replacement head, I could buy 4-5 regular brushes that are just as good.

My girlfriend is currently using toothpaste that she hates that tastes for some reason like salt.

Did you know that hillbillies invented the the tooth brush? If it was invented by anyone else, it would have been called a teeth brush. 

         

I shouldn't talk though...as soon as I hit 44...I started loosing teeth. I have one upper front tooth missing,so I look like a middleaged Alfred E. Nueman. I have two back teeth that fell out as well. I have years of drinking hard liquer and not enough fruit to thank for that.

For years I used a regular toothbrush and whatever paste was on sale.  Now I have an electric brush and it's brilliant.  I still have a manual one that I use to clean my tongue and brush my teeth at night.

Lately, I've stopped buying Colgate toothpaste.  They seem to have a bit of a monopoly in the supermarkets here and I resent not being given more of a choice.  I So I go to Big W (a department store chain similar to Wal-Mart) to buy any other brand I can find.  I don't care about the taste of the paste so I just buy non-Colgate-whatever-is-on-sale.

Collected them in the 70's and cherished them as much as my 7,000 card baseball collection. Wonder what I did with them?

I use to have a bunch of those and I think after I joined the Marine I was hardly out the door before my folks started tossing my stuff out, old comics, cards, albums tons of stuff that I could retire on now. Most of which I've spent a small fortune replacing over the years.
I get great joy telling my Dad ... "See this comic book/matchbox/album/whatever ... I had one, you threw it away ... it's now worth $800.00, I do hope you are happy."

Far as a toothbrush goes, I change my regularly and still at the ripe old age of 44 have all my teeth, intact and and in good condition.

[Torgo]

I use just a regular soft bristle toothbrush and Crest Baking Soda & Peroxide toothpaste.

I also sometimes use a Listerine pre-wash rinse if I think of doing that.

I've only had one chipped tooth my whole life and I had to get it crowned. Hopefully I won't have to have that done again anytime soon.

Okay, since you've all nearly taken this thread seriously,  it's my turn...
My dentist says my teeth are "very white"
They're all there, I never had a lot of cavities, but only one wisdom tooth.  Ironically, the bottom of that side only one molar ever came in and that's the one with the crown on it! 

[BoyScoutKevin]

Yes, but I don't use toothpaste. I use baking soda in lieu of toothpaste. It's worked so far. That and my quarterly visit to the dentist.

Baking soda is really good for your teeth, but I worry about the abrasive nature of it.  So I only use it sometimes.  Also, it doesn't really taste that good.  But in times of financial distress, it would do very well.

Ever had someone tell you a root canal felt good?  I told my wife that once - while the drugs were still kicking in.  I said, "they can root canal ALL my teeth if it feels THIS good."

Of course, it DID feel good compared to what it felt like before.  That was a root canal that I had to have twice because the first one did not go "deep enough."  This was straight out of a bad movie, I tell you.  There I was, in the chair for the second time, after two weeks of excruciating pain (after the first attempt), and watching the doc working that little digger in and an out.....what seemed like about 2 feet of probe was going in and out of my tooth.  I distinctly remember him saying to his assistant "I need a longer one, do we have a longer one."  Ouch - just the memory....

Then there was the time I had an infection under one of my wisdom teeth - infection got in the bone which I understand can be fatal.  A week later, all my widom teeth were gone, but two of them had to be sawn out.

Yes, I have a tooth bush and yes, I brush my teeth.  Crap can still happen.  My daughter, when she was 4, chipped a tooth while riding her bike; my son nearly knocked one out when he fell on our boat one day. 

Always good to be on good terms with your dentist...
