new way to brush
August 19, 2010So, my wingman is 5 months pregnant and naturally hormonally moody. She told me that it is miserable, but that it did come in handy the other day. She went off on her husband about the way he brushes his teeth.
Previous to this conversation, i thought there was only one way to brush your teeth. Apparently not.
She described the procees to me and naturally, I had to try it.
Step 1. fill your mouth with water
step2. put toothpaste on toothbrush and insert into mouth.
step 3. brush your teeth while holding the water in your mouth
step 4. once al the water had flwon out of your mouth, get another mouthfull and continue brushing.
step 5. rinse
I don’t know why anyone would brush their teeth like this – other than for a good laugh. let me tell you how it went…
I filled my mouth with water. That was easy. Then i put the toothpaste on my toothbrush – also easy. It was when i tried indserting the toothbrush into my mouth withough losing the water that the troubles started. I lost half of the toothpast on my lips as i tried quickly jamming the brush through my lips thet were pressed to hold the water. And, once i started brushing, another issue occurred.
i’m not sure if it’s how you hold the water, or because you are still breathing or just because you are gushing the water around – but some of the now minty fresh water started to come out my nose. Not comfortable. So i slowed my brush strokes.
However, you have this tool in your mouth and water seems to be pretty clever. It found a way to escape by seeping down my toothbrush. Enough water seeped down my toothbruash that it also started streaming down my arm and dripping off my elbow.
At this point, it was all so ridiculous, that i was holding back laughter – which didn’t halp at all. Water sprayed out of my mouth and onto the mirror, covered the counter and soaked my tank top. Now, even though atthis point, I was supposed to refill my mouth and continue brushing, i gave up.
My teeth felt thoroughly clean, and my nasal cavity was cold from the cold minty air and i just didn’t think i could do it again with out cracking up and chocking on water.
I would never be able to do that on a daily basis. It’s so weird.
