You're in a rush and only have time for one, which do you choose?

[dustybiker2]

A dentist asked me this once and I chose incorrectly, according to him. 😏

Brushing

Flossing

[TommyMountainFigure]

As a fan of Star Trek, the old Kobayashi Maru scenario comes in to play here DB.

I choose to do both, but leave brushing my hair.. I would sooner have nice clean mouth and go out with a bedhead!

[dustybiker2]

Hahaha

[dustybiker2]

Smart. I should take this on. I have helmet head when I arrive anyway.

[TommyMountainFigure]

<< Bows ty ty.. Oh wait no... oO I'd better not bow, you're likely to take out a hairbrush and attack me 'ead with it.. by the way lmao @helmet head!

[dustybiker2]

lol

It's a distinction I wear proudly, sir.

[TommyMountainFigure]

Like I always say.. well, ok sometimes say... actually up until now I don't think I have ever said it, but it's better to have your own teeth and look like a clown, than smart and tidy hair and a mouth like that James Bond Villain Jaws!
Actually, thinking about it,., I don't think I'll say it now either cos it's not very catchy is it?

[dustybiker2]

Ha. He used to be my least fav person on the planet as a kid!!

Catchy? Eh. Shout it to the heavens. You only live once.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

My mom is a dentist and floss is the correct answer.

You should always floss your teeth especially before you go to sleep.

[dustybiker2]

Yes. It's understandable at night to remove stuck food, but heading out to face the world I guessed brushing.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

If you brushed your teeth the night prior you actually don't have to brush it again in the morning.

Just wash your mouth to refresh your breath.

[dustybiker2]

Huh, interesting. Less guilty when I am in a rush until noon now.

[TheRealPepperPotts]

Floss and rinse with mouth wash, then pop some gum in my mouth. The plaque buildup wouldn't be that bad from only brushing the night before...

[dustybiker2]

This is true.

[Account]

It has happened to me. I floss because it is faster. No clue if that is the accurate answer.

[dustybiker2]

It is. Yes.

[purplepoppy]

Dog dental sticks are better. Go for chicken flavour, your breath doesn't smell as much.

[dustybiker2]

Good tip

[Charliefretz329]

Well… the bits of meat that get stuck between my teeth smell the worst, so I’m gonna go with flossing.


And I keep a flosser in my wallet so I can dig and flick on the go 😎

[Charliefretz329]

And I always have a hot coffee in the morning so, I guess that’ll clean the works up a little

[dustybiker2]

Enjoy those suckers while you have them. I want to ban them. Nasty people drop them all over parking lots.

Hot coffee cleans teeth? 🤔

[Charliefretz329]

I reuse the same one until it breaks and dispose of it properly. I hate litterbugs.

Yes, hot tea, coffee, or other hot beverages help clean your teeth after a meal and as an added benefit help with digestion.

[Charliefretz329]

Brushing cleans better of course but it’s like spraying off your dishes with hot water before scrubbing. It helps

[dustybiker2]

Go back for the stains. lol

[Charliefretz329]

People with pure white teeth give me the heebie jeebies anyway

[dustybiker2]

They do lol

[Wiredone]

I'm brushing no matter how much time I have, or don't have. My mouth doesn't feel clean until I brush

[dustybiker2]

I feel the same.

[jennifer_bloom]

I was born with good genes and only need to floss once every 3 months cause things never get stuck in my teeth.

[sirderpsalot123]

Brushing. I don't care if that's "wrong", flossing would be too time consuming.

[dustybiker2]

This is true

[AviatorTom]

I use toothpicks and rubber tooth sticks often during the day, more than I brush anyway, so I chose flossing.

[OfMiceandMen]

I would brush if I only had time to do one. Just do a really thorough job.

[GeminiDiamond]

I'm brushing %10000000.

[dustybiker2]

lol same

[DrPepper12]

How can anyone NOT begin their day by brushing? 🤮

[dustybiker2]

Everyone needs to start the day with a kiss to be reminded.

[DrPepper12]

Good idea!

[exitseven]

Brushing. It makes my mouth presentable.

[Booklover_90]

Brush.

[noohair]

Mough wash or brush
