Brushing Teeth

Posted by Umema Siddiqi on Wednesday, March 11, 2009 in beauty, dental skirmishes

I have always been very particular when it comes to brushing teeth, or personal hygiene, on a whole. Recently I have started using Colgate Max fresh (with cooling crystals) instead of Medicam. And from the past two days I've been brushing my teeth like a desperado :D I once heard on TV that we must brush our teeth for at least 5 minutes. Earlier (with Medicam) I used to brush for some 70-90 seconds on average. And with Colgate, I brush for even more than 5 minutes :P And fortunately, my teeth don't even bleed now :) Yay! And then I check my shiny teeth for the next 10 minutes :D And then I put my poor tooth brush and favorite toothpaste back in their places. Just today I noticed my toothbrush closely. The bristles have bent sideways, and it gives such innocent looks to me :$ Awww :(

My mouth feels fresh now. Brushing teeth had never felt that good. Thank you Colgate :)

wow! you know what DM? I have exactly the same feeling man! I normally use Macleans simply coz that's the one that my gharwalas buy.. but I tried Colgate Max fresh and I really felt great! it tastes sooo much better and 'fresh' (you know what i mean right ;) than the rest of the toothpastes! hehe.. colgate fresh - but don't overdo it ! or the aspirations of having teeth, let alone fresh would be far from being there! :P

~Chumpoo: Lol. I'm happy with my Colgate :) And your idea sounds too harsh :(

~Kamran: Since childhood I've liked toothpastes with good taste :P And I really love the flavor and freshness of Max fresh! :D
Lol @ your warning :D Will try to brush twice a day now instead of 5 times :P

Err...I'm not too regular in brushing my teeth. Bad habit I know. :D

I'll try Colgate Max Fresh now. Maybe the taste will encourage me.

I hate it when my mouth smells so that's basically one of the reasons I brush my teeth. :D

I used to brush my teeth by closeup's fresh gel long time ago..whilst brushing my teeth I used to crew few of those crystals..itna mazaa aa'ta tha:P
those were good ol' days when I tried every tooth paste that tasted good:P
now I'm hooked on to Sensodyne from quite some time & trust me it doesn't tastes that good:(

~Senilius: Oh.My.God! :P

~Asma: A hefty amount :p

~An Illusion: Crew or chew? :P I so dislike these medicated toothpastes like Medicam, Macleans and Synsodyne type.

Close Up... for my rotten teeth. Can you believe I'm just 18 and I lost almost my entire teeth? Thanks to the chocolate. :P

~Kreyszig: Hawww...How saddening! Next time keep chocolates and toothpaste together :P And try using Close Down - it might help :P

~An Illusion: Never used it. I also like AquaFresh 4. And I'm sure Macleans and Medicam belong to the same not-so-tasty-toothpastes family :D

Actually I have a pack of Dunhill My Mixture No. 16 and another of No. 85 sitting on top of my book-shelf. ;)

And Dunhill Lights are not for girls. Those are Menthol Lights.

~Senilius: What's the difference between Dunhill Lights and Menthol Lights? [And Menthol lights sound so uninteresting] :D

Anonymous says:

Dunhill Lights are the lighter version of Dunhill. Dunhill Menthol Lights have a minty taste.

Dinky,almost every school friend was a smoker. They wantd me to become a smoker too but they could not convince me. I think I have learnt in childhood that girls don't like smokers and they took time to figure it out till then it was very late :P

I, on the other hand, smoke because I don't want girls near me. :P

But I'm not gay either. ;)

~Senilius: Of course, Sawj, I know it ain't a good thing :D
Why, menthol lights are for kids? :P

~Chumpoo: When I used to go for my O-Levels tuition, there was not a single guy who would not smoke. And I knew a few girls too who would lock themselves up in bathrooms and smoke. Lol. Silly people!
