I figure it was invented by a hillbilly. Anyone else would’ve called it a “teethbrush”.

my dentist says toothbrushes are bad, and toothpaste is worse. they are abrasive, actually damage teeth, & etc.

he preaches a waterpick.

smart guy, but I still brush.

My 20 year old Sonicare toothbrush stopped working recently and a new one from Amazon was $25 plus shipping - I paid over $100 for the first one in the late 90’s.

In 1223 a Zen master wrote that he observed monks using pieces of ox bone with short horsetail bristles attached.

If a tooth falls out in the forest is there a hygienist there to tell you to floss more?

Anyone remember tooth powder? It’s all my grandparents used.

The Toothbrush was invented in West Virginia.

If had been invented in another state, it would be called a Teethbrush.

Pat Metheny used a toothbrush to hold the strap in place.

It became kind of his trademark, so he still put the toothbrush on his newer guitars, even though he doesn't need them.

Went to the store for a new toothbrush...The selection was mind boggling.

Soft,medium,firm...there are all sorts of Disney characters and even a rapper toothbrush.

Can you believe it? A rapper...Two-Pak!

AND you get TWO brushes!

‘In 3500 BC the Babylonians had “chewsticks”’

Still using chewsticks in India to this very day.

beeps when you have brushed for 2 minutes

In 12 years I've never heard it beep. Really? Two minutes?

You can have a toothbrush that beeps when you have brushed for 2 minutes or tells your kids "Good Job!"

I got it! A disposable razor that beeps after two minutes. It will say "All right already! That's close enough!" I'll get Kramerica Industries to produce it. It will come with a stick of butter.
