1. The average person spends 38 days brushing teeth over his or her lifetime.
2. Toothbrush bristles were originally made from cow hairs. There’s no need to worry – modern toothbrushes use nylon bristles.
3. The most popular toothbrush color is blue – hopefully it’s not because of the brusher’s mood.
4. Roughly 4 billion people use a mobile device. BUT only 3.5 billion people actually use a toothbrush. We hope there’s a brushing app for that.
5. In 2003, the toothbrush was chosen as the #1 invention people can’t live without, beating out cell phones and cars.
Don’t forget to schedule a checkup and cleaning with your dentist – and of course, don’t forget to brush!
