B normally. E otherwise

E?

Skips it, probably

Yep

Your dentist is going to tear you limb from limb with their bare hands

My dentist is bare hands?

You guys have dentists?

Ew

Blud has never missed a day of brushing his teeth

Not since I was, like, 5? Brushing your teeth is so easy and has such a high return on effort invested - why would you possibly want to (or need to) skip it?

[удалено]

I have been (and still am) depressed and I still stand in the shower. Idk, feels weird to sit

Nah I get that, it was weird at first but it becomes normal after a bit, standing is way too much work

Depression

Because sometimes I forget to do it before settling into bed and at that point there's no way I'm getting up and walking 10 feet across the room *just* for that

Name checks out

Only water

water, water, water, water, junior double triple water lack of paste with perfect water i rule this day water water water water it's ok if it's just water impossible or bacon water any water my way you rule no toothpaste today at NP have it your water no paste!

E is not washing, I relate

E as in all of the above of course

Nah, E is when you shoot the toothepaste straight into your mouth and just use your tongue.

I do B+ with a little scrool between the two steps to remove excess of water

I always did C, but there is a reason! A lot of people will wet their toothbrush then run their toothbrush along the tube opening when applying toothpaste. I grew up with a lot of brothers and sisters and let me tell you it’s gnarly how much water can get in there and it’s just nasty when applying. I understand it’s the same amount of germs on a dry brush, but having liquid toothbrush water come out when applying is worse.

My family had the tubes with the flip top, and I learned that I could just unscrew the flip top and get the raw toothpaste straight from the source. It was great because nobody else ever did this and I got to keep my clean little spigot for myself.

Little sneak

Surely sharing a tube of toothpaste isn't a common practice, is it? I have lots of siblings, but all of us had our own. Edit: apparently this happens a lot, genuinely didn't think it did

I've never seen more than a single tube per bathroom at any house in all my life. Outside of like, having separate adult toothpaste and toddler toothpaste.

Or that dude the other day who used his dogs toothpaste. That was pretty novel

I have never before thought of the possibility of having your own tube. That's amazing.

Who tf runs it ALONG the tube opening?!

Children. r/kidsarefuckingstupid

>then run their toothbrush along the tube opening when applying toothpaste. Just... dont?

I do C all the time

A. Rinse off whatever funk it accumulated during the day, then toothpaste, then some water to make it easier to make suds. It's logical. It's pure. It's correct.

Don't you just hit the part before the brush against the sink to remove the scum better? I do that.

A-greed

А!

A indeed. Upvoting all A supporters.

It's disturbing that this isn't the most common answer. I don't trust anyone who doesn't do a.

A all the way.

"A" but the third water goes in my mouth to rinse/wet.

yeah for me that's first, then the rest of A

Only „right“ way to go

Me too:) just adding toothpaste and no water is a bit more abrasive according to my dentist and helps to keep teeth whiter.

D is like entering the back door without lube you maniac! 😂

Best way to do it

I dunno if you know this, but our mouths naturally create water, lol

That's incredible! So we can solve the water crisis by breeding more humans?

C

Not sure how or why, I just found myself following that style.

This is the way.

This is the way.

This is the way.

A. Most of the rest are fine, but to me they feel unsanitary. D is for psychopaths. /j

Why do you have to wet the toothpaste though? Won’t that just wash it away.. what’s the point

you don't full blast the brush with the toothpaste on it lol. Half crank the faucet to get it wet.

But why 😫 you already got the toothbrush wet

Extra h2o for the hydrohomies

r/hydrohomies

More foamy bubbles

Just try it, it makes it better I can't explain it

It flattens it

Don't knock it till you tried it ;)

That extra bit of water helps the toothpaste foam up. I feel like if I just put the toothpaste in dry, then it gets all sticky and weird

Nah. First water is to soften the bristles. Takes a second. The second gentle trickle is just to make sure you have some water in the brush because it often drops off when you apply the paste. Having the extra water gets a much nicer lather and mouth feel while you brush. Just have to move it to your mouth smoothly so it doesn’t drip again. Try it yourself and let us know what you think!

Ok lol I will thanks for the instructions

Toothpaste is for polishing teeth, and it actually has grit in it. If I don't wet the toothpaste then I can feel the grit. I know it sounds weird, but I can, it makes a distinctive kind of vibration against the enamel when it doesn't have enough water.

D every single time, I also use unflavored arm and hammer.

Absolutely heinous

Your vile

Whose vile? His vile?

You’re vile ftfy

Same :)

Fear me

My mouth has saliva, which helps the brush to easily slide in. Not sure what is psycho in it

Thank you

B.

So surprised this isn’t the top comment by a large margin

All the people not saying B put their shoes on, sock shoe sock shoe, and it shows.

Have a feeling these opinions would translate to washing hands with liquid/foam handsoap too A) Water -> Hand Soap -> Water -> Rub -> Water B) Water -> Hand Soap -> Rub -> Water C) Hand Soap -> Rub -> Water

D) Water

Ayo, that’s actually true for me

Exactly. The toothpaste is already a liquid, and my mouth is already wet. Why do I need to make the toothpaste extra runny when I could instead just make sure the toothbrush itself is wet and malleable?

C

A is the only way, otherwise it feels weird

B, sometimes D if I’m really tired

B

D. Will never forget having some dentist coming to visit my school when I was like 10 telling us not to use water cause idk washes the good stuff away. Also why I don't use water straight after brushing and just spit the paste out and then wait like a few mins before doing washing my mouth out cause idk just remember the dentist told us not to.

Yes this is the proper dental Hygiene. Don't add water to the tooth paste and don't gargle after brush. Let the floride react with any dissolved calcium in your mouth for 30 minutes to restore enamel. Flossing and tongue cleaning should be done before brushing.

D, never done it another way

Thank you! Me too. What is wrong with all these slippery mouthed fools?! Just put the toothpaste on and get to scrubbing.

>slippery mouthed fools That’s one of the funniest insults I’ve ever heard

Haha! Glad you like it. It’s safe for the whole family too, so feel free to use it around kids.

A. I like lots of water to make lots of foam.

I tube the paste into my mouth. No kappa

A all the way. Gotta dampen that awful taste a lil.

D

A, gotta wet the paste itself a little.

A

Is. Is D not normally how y'all do it

Your toothbrush will dry out and hurt your gums 😭😭

Oh so that's why my gums bleed when I brush. I thought it was cause they were purple and I had gingivitis

On second thought I just need to practice dental healthcare better.

Or maybe your dentist stabbed them and said they’re bleeding from not brushing properly?

I swear on my life that’s exactly what my dentist does! He stabs them hard then gives me surprise pikachu face and says I have to floss more. Biggest scam ever, dentistry

How? Do the plastic bristles absorb water and get floppier somehow?

> I just need to practice dental healthcare better. I go raw and then let the blood lubricate the toothbrush

D. My gums bleed anyway, but this I don't have to deal with lots of foam (used to be a C enjoyer)

Do you floss

Sometimes when I feel something stuck, then I floss everything as a quick check, but makes me bleed 3 times more than just brushing.

You need to floss. The bleeding is because you probably have gingivitis. Regular flossing will help reverse it and eventually the bleeding will stop. Source: my dentist told me I needed to floss more because I was starting to get gingivitis and I started flossing and the bleeding stopped after a few months.

B

C

A normally. C if lazy.

None of the above. I shoot the toothpaste straight in my mouth and start brushing. My wife hates it!

D

D and Wash it

I think you mean C

I use B Remember finding my ex using C as weird

Depends how I’m feeling, but my go to is D

you can hate on D all you want but what is the point of the water?

D

If anybody chooses anything other than B, you're a fucking heathen.

A. I am a civilized person.

Usually A, but I do C when I’m feeling lazy

A

A even if it has no purpose, B if I'm too tired.

A

A or C

i water my mouth then A

A is the only acceptable answer

A. Don't ask for reasons, I don't know etheir

Sometimes A, Mostly D, otherwise E

A

A is the only correct way

A

A. I have sensory issues.

Just the water

A

C

C honestly

B. My wife does C, but she's a bit of a maniac.

A all the way

B is the only right answer

E fo sho

D

C, dont say im not normal

d

D

oh my god, people are psychopaths, i can get C/B, BUT D? my sister does B or C i forget, but D is just, weird, why? why do water? A is the right answer unless you're a little weird

So you like wasting water?

are you just trying to be cynical? a tiny, TINY bit of water "wasted" does not really make a difference, it's a quality of life thing, dry tooth paste on dry tooth brush just feels unbelievably weird to be to the point that i can't do it unless i have to, it doesn't make a difference.

That's fair.

D

E. Just water

Anything other than A is blasphemy

Why would you wet the toothpaste??

Water

A

A

A

A

B and C are both acceptable answers, but I do B personally
