today's question

Not.

I think the wet toothbrush is a carry over from when tooth powders and baking soda were used: Wet the brush, dip in the powder so that the powder adheres to the brush.

I don't wet the brush because it breaks down the toothpaste faster, so it is not as effective at polishing your teeth.

FYI: The ADA Web site does not mention anything about wetting the toothbrush in their FAQ on how to brush.

 
Of Course Not. AND the TP should unroll close to the wall!....

At least in MY house! So DON'T change mine (as some of my guests do) when you are at MY house!

 
Because wetting the bristles softens them, so they don't scrub as well...(more)...

at least, that's what all of my dentists
have told me.

 
Interesting. My dentists have consistently said the opposite

that you want the bristles soft, and even a soft toothbrush from the store can be too stiff. They recommended rinsing in warm water for a couple of minutes if the bristles need more softening.
