Most people still aren't good at brushing their teeth

Are you good are brushing your teeth well two times per day? Not so fast, according to Dr. Paul Warren, who thinks that most people are "no good" at brushing their teeth.

Dr. Warren, who works for Procter & Gamble (naturally), stated that "Odd as it sounds, most people are no good at brushing their teeth." Dr. Warren mentions the American Dental Association's suggestion that adults and kids brush each tooth to the gum line for two minutes each time they brush.

Problem is, most adults -- according to Warren -- don't do this at all. Instead, we brush haphazardly, concentrating on the front-and-center teeth and making short work of our molars.

Another failing: many of us brushers scour gum lines "like if plaque were bathtub grout." What to do, you may ask? The tooth brush, which can't really be refined any further, may be doing just that -- inventing new designs to overcome out impatience and incompetence in brushing. I can see the name now -- couch potato brushing.
