Brushed my teeth for 15 mins

TeddyTedson

Now I know you're only supposed to brush for 2 mins, 30 seconds per sixteen, but I can't help doing this. I often makes me a bit late for work.
I floss first for about 5, but that's just because I'm so **** at it.

Is anyone else a little obsessive about brushing their teeth or similar.
I'm not doing any good after brushing for 2 mins but it's just a sort of mental thing I can't break. Maybe a bit of OCD, but I don't think it is actually, just something I've built up over time.
I wash my hands waaay to long and often too, which is equally as pointless and annoying for me.




Lastly, sometimes I brush my teeth at about 10, and can't eat anything after that obviously, but I might drink some water. Not horrible tap water though, volvic. Is there a need to brush again after that? What about milk...?

Engage in some TPN. Getting fed intravenously will help you in your battle to keep the teeth clean.

Try including more sex in your diet.

I brush 5/6 times a day,i must brush after every meal or i cannot function as a human being.

The worst is after a curry or Chinese,i must brush within 10 minutes or i break down.

I carry a brush with me to the cinema and after the movie i brush in the bathroom,all the coke and popcorn leave your mouth feeling dirty.

That be OCD. Nothing should be done to yourself continuously for 15 minutes.

Give yourself a hand shandy for 15 minutes. How Derek and the two Mc Loughlins feel after that assault is the same as your teeth feel except they cannot send the same signals to your brain as yer todger.

Is this true or are you taking the piss out of me?
You can get these things to wipe your teeth with for when you're on the go.

If you're brushing your teeth that much it's one of the worst things you can do! You'll take the enamel off your teeth!

I think it's making the gum drop to low too and the area that's below is now above.
No, it can't be good.
I'll have to fix it. :mad:

Where To

Buy an electric toothbrush and tepe brushes.

Trust me Teddy, this is the only advice I'll ever give anyone on the interweb, and it's damn good advice at that.

I had an electric that vibrated (sexy much?) after 30 seconds to tell you to move on to the next 16, but if you brush for ages with lots of tooth paste it's a different feeling on your teeth, and wrongly in my head now that's what I need for them to feel clean. I will have to break this!
But thank you,

well done Teddy

I brush for about 5mins... another 5mins to play with the water till it gets warm and wash the brush...

And I don't know how to use a floss. It always puzzled me how one could use a wire to clean something...

Not as extreme but I can't even get dressed without having a shower. Even pull on a t-shirt and jeans to put the bin out... have to have a shower first.

This may be an urban myth but I think you can damage the enamel by over brushing to that extreme.

One tip about brushing teeth.

Do not allow anyone to do it for you.It is not a nice feeling to have someone else to brush your teeth,they do not apply the correct amount of pressure and do not hit all the hard to reach places.

Just don't brush for so long...

Teddy, I'm getting a bit worried about you.

Just stick them in a glass of water beside your bed at night - they'll be grand
