Saturday Poll - Do You Brush Your Teeth?? - United Bimmer Community

A recent UK study shows 12% of Brits do NOT brush their teeth - at all - and only 30 percent brush for at least 2 minutes.

I brush at least twice a day. And I mean everything- gums, the palate and my tongue. I'm more of a fanatic about it now than when I was younger, and I used to smoke back then too.

In the morning and in the evening, and if I have something to eat with onions then it's a must. If not, this might happen to who I talk to

yeah man, this study said people don't brush at ALL. I couldn't imagine not brushing my teeth in the morning.

That is nasty as hell. How can you not brush your teeth at all? I do every morning for 2 minutes without fail

ok guys, I live in the uk and when I say "The Sun" newspaper is gutter press thats exactly what i mean. The sun is one of the tabloid newspapers that give the press a bad name, they wil take any subject regardless of who it may offend and sensationalise it, its the sort of morning paper that i and any other decent citizen will avoid buying at all costs.
The uk public are pretty much like anyone else where personal hygiene is concerned, we do brush our teeth and bathe regularly, maybe its just the reporters who work for the "sun" that don't brush their teeth or bathe cos their too busy making up stories about other people.

I'm so not surprised. We have plenty of gutter press here too

I brush everyday in morning and at night. The only time I don't is if I crash from partying too hard.

**xsperf** · 06-02-2007, 06:59 PM

well duh, have you ever SEEN their teeth? and all that tea cant be helping!

(boy im gonna get flamed)

CAP, what inspired you to post a thread about brushing? lol Is life that boring?
A lot of my guys & gals are brits and they are very "hygiene pro" and don't take that story seriously. About as seriously as Keith Richards snorting his dads ashes. As mentioned earlier the Sun is the equivalent of the Nat'l Enquirer so take it for what it's worth. Don't fall into the stereotype hype of "simpleton media" stories.

**RSF5** · 06-03-2007, 01:49 AM

I can't imagine not. It would feel disgusting.

**Hoppy** · 06-03-2007, 02:29 AM
