Why it's important to brush your teeth twice a day.

So this is the next topic I have been ordered to write about. But seriously, I can sum up the reasons for this in three simple pictures...







Um, ew.

That made me feel sick. I couldn't even bring myself to click on the image link to get the full size pictures. The small ones were bad enough. In fact, I refuse to scroll up and look at those pictures again.

Anyway. THAT is why you should brush your teeth daily. Besides, it's really not that difficult. I'll even give you a how-to guide, all thanks to Sipho, Thandi, Jan, Marieke and the naughty, inappropriate, touchy-feely, toothbrush-groping Zodwa.

See that? Easy. Sure, the mother of those children must have really slept around with many different men of different races around the world, but who cares, those children have excellent dental habits. (Or maybe the parents were just really fond of adoption.)

So basically, unless you:
  • Have a desire to look like one of those clowns you throw balls into at fairs
  • Enjoy the fragrant aroma of garbage-dump-esque proportions every time you open your mouth
  • Have a soft spot for the colour parchment. In your mouth
  • Like playing "whack the beaver", where the gaps in your teeth are beaver holes and your tongue is the beaver
  • Enjoy growing plants of the not-so-strictly-edible variety in your mouth
  • Aspire to have no friends. Or family. Or work colleagues. Or acquaintances
  • Aspire to end up in a blog like this someday
BRUSH YOUR GODDAMN TEETH.

Thank you.

oh ew. But how very relevant seeing as my marketing group has been doing a big project marketing campaign on Colgate and Oral Hygeine.

Ha berloody ha. Those photos are yukkkerroo I hope you deleted them off your computer.

In response to your topic, I would like to say, Yes I brush my teeth!!!! But twice a day? Weell I try to....but sometimes I forget and usually I am running late but I try.

I will try even harder now of course, because as much as I like the colour parchment....I prefer pearly whites =]

Wow I love it when you listen to me even when I say ridiculous things like "write a blog about why it's important to brush your teeth twice a day"...

Hopefully someone who never brushes their teeth will read this and become inspired into healthy brushing habits.

Oh that reminds me. I need to put on my retainers.

:S

Those pictures are gross.
Rest assured though, I brush my teeth twice/thrice a day.

About the slutty/Angelina Jolie enthusiastic mother, I guess it's all about DIVERSITY everywhere you go!
