It must quite common for recent quitters to develop a toothbrush fetish, since all those chirpy guides to quitting suggest you brush your teeth whenever you want a cigarette. Better not clean them forty times a day though, they'll end up as nubs!
I treated myself to a state-of-the-art toothbrush this morning. Its an Oral-B Pulsar, you seen one? Man, they are advanced. Distributed throughout the normal bristles are these little yellow rubber bits, they strongly resemble bees' legs. That's not all, you press a button on the handle and the bees' legs start to vibrate. Actually they kind of flap feebly, as though your bee is drowning in a jar of jammy water.
So far so good, but it is not clear how to apply the buzzing brush to your teeth. Do you just hold it against your teeth and pulse the detritus off? Or are you supposed to scrub in the traditional way with the pulsing as an additional boosting mechanism?
I got through the clean using an ad-libbed combo of the two methods. It probably explains it all on the packet but I can't read that tiny writing, not with my middle-aged smoker's eyes. If anyone has experience in modern tooth-brushing techniques I'd be grateful for any insights.
Cheers
