It's a false colored, scanning electron microscope image of a toothbrush bristle.

You heard me. That stringy stuff covering it? That would be plaque.



feel sick? go get a new toothbrush once every week...
 
This why I never brush my teeth. Instead I eat the toothbrush. It is much more sanitary that way. I found the plastic ones have kind of an icky synthetic plasticky flavor. They will do in a pinch. I much prefer a nice leg bone from a moose or even a good stick. I prefer birch. It has a nice texture and the bark it can be really good. mmm mmm
My last girlfriend she came from a place where they don't have moose or birch. Poor thing. I was so happy she was able to adapt. Sometimes we have romantic time and share the same bone... oh the bliss. The happy tug of her trying to take the bone from my jaws; I love to feel the vibrations of her growling as she tugs and shakes her pretty head. So good for the teeth too. :lol:

Changed our toothbrushes every 6 months...(guessing that's too long)...and have soaked them all in Listerine too....

Back in the "ol' days", there were no toothbrushes...they used small branches from a Red Gum Tree...(believe that's what the trees were called)...

Also, toothpicks!...not in my home...floss is the answer.

Ewwwww!
I can only imagine what a close up of my ear mold would look like at the end of the day.
 
i replaced the toothbrush every 2 or 3 months and floss my teeth everyday as i was told by my dentist. i go to dentist every 3 months. thanks god i did NOT loose any of my teeth. bless my teeth to be saved,
 
and of course i pour the hot water on the toothbrush after brushing my teeth
 
My electric toothbrush has a sonic cleaner you put it in every once in a while. Plus I keep my toothbrush far away from my toilet. That is just gross.

You're supposed to get a new one every 3 months.

Annnnd bacteria are initially responsible for the plaque to begin with. Don't forget peroxide and mouthwash (recommended by my dentist) to kill those suckers!
