I wonder what is the ratio of wet vs dry brushers.

    I’ve never even considered brushing my teeth under the shower? That seems unnecessary and impractical imo. I shower ever other day usually and I brush my teeth at least twice a day, but currently 4 times a day due to braces. I don’t see how these 2 things align in terms of planning?

      Despite what a dentist might say, I imagine most people still brush once a day. I grew up doing that and had no cavities or other issues.

    I keep a toothbrush and bottle of toothpaste in the shower because I have atrocious ADHD and that is the only place I ever remember to brush them. It’s literally the one lifehack that I’ve tried that has actually worked. I’ve been doing it for a couple years now and I finally brush my teeth every day after struggling for my entire life.

      I typically turn the water off if I’m brushing in the shower. Hop in, shampoo, rinse, apply conditioner, turn off water, brush teeth, scrub body, turn water on, rinse, done. Makes use of otherwise dead time I’d spend waiting for the conditioner to work, and is comfortable enough with the residual heat from the walls and steam.

    I used to keep toothbrushes and toothpaste by each sink and in both showers. It can be convenient to just do everything while you’re in there.

    The sink. It never occurred to me that people regularly brush their teeth in the shower until now.

    I used to brush without wetting the toothbrush, but ever since I saw a fruit fly on my toothbrush, I’ve rinsed it off before using.

    Why would you brush your teeth in the shower and what idiot uses a dry toothbrush to brush their teeth,

    Didn’t realize the former is an option. Now I wanna try. This is like that time I realized I could just piss in the sink.

    You guys only brush you teeth under the shower?!
    I think my dentist would get very mad at me if I only brushed my teeth during holidays.
