What type of toothbrush do you use? The reason I ask is because brushing my teeth is the one thing that I get obsessive about. If I'm not at Uni, or out fighting crime or something, I usually brush my teeth 3 or 4 times a day. Always in the morning and at night, but also somewhere in the middle. Is this an unusual amount of times to brush my teeth in one day? Anyway, I don't care what you think - there's a history behind all this!
When I was at 6th Form, I used to drink 3 or 4 cans of fizzy drink a day. 3 or 4 cans, 5 days a week, for almost 2 years. You do the math. Consequently, I've found myself with rather prematurely stained teeth. They're not pure yellow, but in the right light (the light of a bathroom perhaps), they really bug me because they're just off-colour enough to be noticed. Sorry if this has spoilt your Ultra-human-sex-pot image of me, but it's true - I'm getting stained teeth. It doesn't help that I ingest copious amounts of tea, but I have cut back on the fizzy drinks, only really drinking them when I'm round mate's houses, or at a pub and don't want beer.
Now back to toothbrushes. Up until yesterday I used a hard toothbrush. I find that a long brushing session really makes my mind feel better about the state that my teeth are in. The only downside is that I get through a toothbrush every month. Now THAT'S not normal! They always end up all curved to the side and the bristles start to come out after a few weeks. I do hold the brush very hard and I do brush my teeth very hard, but I don't do it hard enough to cut my gums. Just long enough to wear out the brush quickly. But yesterday I got a new toothbrush - one with the kind of rubber handle you'd expect to find in a special-needs school.
It's kinda weird. The head of the brush is fine, but the handle splits into two, and looks like the bones on your forearm. I think it's meant to absorb the force put into gripping a toothbrush, but it could just be a pointless gimmick. I've used it a couple of times now and the results weren't exactly fantastic. It may just have been because it is a new brush, but I didn't feel my mouth feeling as fresh as when I use the normal brush that I buy. That's an interesting side-topic: what's the worst gimmick you've ever seen to sell a toothbrush?
So onto your toothbrushes. What type of brush do you use? Soft? Flexi-head? Long? Hard? Oo-er, this is all starting to sound very..."racy". Do you scrape your tongue (an old practice, but still very essential to oral hygiene)? Do you just let the fur grow on your teeth? What's the biggest thing you've found between your teeth? Have all your teeth fallen out? Come on people - let's get oral!

Hmm, once before I go to bed, then again after breakfast in the morning. Any more than that and I consider you a freak of 'Jack Nicholson in As Good As It Gets' proportions. However, I understand about the fizzy drinks - I can rarely drink a can or glass of Coke without my teeth feeling like they're wearing little fur coats.

Yeah but I thought of doing it first, you must have slavishly copied me somehow.

'There is no toothbrush'
I use a electric one, far better.
I have your problem too, monkey man, although as far back as I can remember I've had funny coloured teeth, It's not through doing anything, there just the wrong side of noticable.

It probably doesn't help that I'm on my second bowl of ice-cream and I'm having a cup of tea with it...
Finish off with a smoke...
Excellent - hands and teeth at the same time!
Every night before bed I have a grappling session with my pegs.
Before I turn the light out I always glance at my chattering teeth in the glass of water on the bedside table.
"We're drowning" they yell as the bubbles rise and pop.
You'll thank me in the morning I say.
"Okay" they squeak, as they softly sink.
No, I use the cheapest brush I can find at the local supermarket. Maybe I should rethink my toothbrushing philosophy....

I use both an electric and manual toothbrush.
Everyones teeth become yellowed, if it worries you buy a tooth whitening kit instead of brushing your teeth to dust.

I use a Electric brush, then mouthwash, then these little brush things that go between your teeth.

That's bad for your teeth. You should brush before you eat your breakfast, that's what I do. Brushing after eating wipes that anamel stuff off (however you spell it) because the acid in the food weakens it, then brushing takes it off, and if that happens, "you're gonna have a bad time."
