It should take at least four minutes, not counting flossing. If you're doing less then you might as well not do it.

i'm 99% sure that pretty much everyone in dentistry agrees it's two minutes

I was taught "as long as it takes to sing the alphabet in your head" so unless you're doing it in Mandarin prob not 5 min.

You know what I'll bet you my dentists says four because people are lazy and will do a half-assed job, that devious bastard.

Also literally every electric toothbrush I've ever seen that had a built-in timer had it set to two minutes. Brushing for twice as long seems like a great way to destroy your enamel, especially if you're using hard bristles because it "feels" cleaner even when every dentist ever tells you to use soft bristles.

All my dentists have recommended 4 minutes, 2 for the mandible and 2 for the maxilla. And my electric toothbrush is a 4 minute cycle that beeps every minute to tell you to switch from inside/outside, top/bottom. :shrug:

Mind you, my current dentist also said that no one brushes their teeth properly and she's just happy when someone's remembered to brush the inside/back of their teeth at all.

My toothbrush switches itself off after 2 minutes, so it looks like our toothbrushes are in disagreement!

I hope this doesn't turn ugly. :ohdear:

I've never had a cavity on the inside of my teeth. I've seen various cats and dogs have gotten tarter build up on the outside, but never the inside. I bet your tongue worming around in there does a pretty good job on the inside surface.

Prime Day, more like Kickstarter Buyers Remorse Day

Only further reinforcing that Kickstarter is little more than a pre-order market now and there's zero reason to pledge when you can get the same (or better) product at a discount mere months later.

I've had a cavity that started from the back of one molar and you can get pretty bad staining on the inside of your front teeth if you smoke or drink tea and don't brush properly. I think you're right that the tongue will prevent tartar buildup though because you see insane tartar on historical skeletons of paralysed people.

Today in things that surely TOTALLY work:

quote:

The new Smartduvet Breeze is the world's first dual-zone climate controlled self-making bed. The Breeze doesn't replace your existing bed or bedding, it simply makes them better. In addition to making the bed for you, the Breeze allows you to set your preferred temperature individually for each side of the bed.

It's the same thing except from their Kickstarter from last year, which is due to deliver this May.

Self-making bed is like peak "things mom used to do for me when I was a child"-type of kickstarter.

Maybe somebody should kickstart an app that teaches you basic household life skills, it'll make millions. You'd get exp and achievements and whatnot for making your bed and doing the dishes and poo poo.

Does it looks like stop motion because the gif is optimized ? Theres a lot going on between frames 27 and 28.

I like this because it requires you to either push your duvet perfectly downwards every morning, or to go through enough effort to get the thing positioned right that you might as well have made the bed yourself in the first place.

I don't think it's stop motion, either. It looks like it inflates until it's completely unfurled, and then very quickly deflates. It probably technically works under ideal circumstances.
