Really?

I'm still mesmerized by the fact that I have been brushing my teeth incorrectly for the past 23 years. That's a long time to be doing something in the same way- and in the same wrong way at that. It's a hard thing to break...to learn a new way of doing something and undoing the old. Especially when it's something so elementary- something you didn't think you could do wrong.

But you can.

And this will happen if you do.

Well, hold your brush at a 45 degree angle toward the gum. Vibrate then 'swoosh' the brush toward the inside of the mouth. Move over to next 2 teeth and repeat.

Dentist 101. Who knew?
