‘SHOULD I BLEACH MY TOOTHBRUSH?’

‘SHOULD I BLEACH MY TOOTHBRUSH?’



CHICAGO (Wireless Flash) – Some folks really need to brush up on their knowledge of oral health, if the questions they ask dentists are any indication. The dentists who staff the Academy of General Dentistry SmileLine report they get all sorts of clueless questions, including: “Should I soak my toothbrush in bleach?” “Can I use a nail file to make my canine teeth less sharp?” and “Do I have to floss all my teeth?” However, some questions aren’t as dumb as they sound. One man asked if he could use crazy glue to fix his dentures and was told “Sure, as long as you wait for the glue to dry before you put them back in.” The SmileLine will be taking calls this Thursday (Aug. 2) at 1-800-SMILE- 33.
