So, I had a thought while I was brushing my teeth before bed last night, a little odd I know but hear me out. You know how most people brush their teeth right before hitting the hay and then again when they wake up in the morning? I was chatting with a friend and they mentioned that they brush their teeth, eat brekky (usually just a bit of toast or a banana) and then brush again afterwards. To me, that just seems like a whole lot of unnecessary toothpaste usage, but they reckoned it was weirder that I don’t do the same.
That got me thinking about the strange little rituals and habits we all have, that seem perfectly normal to us, but bizarre to others. There must be a real spectrum of oddball routines out there. I guess patterns of behaviour like this are what make us unique in our own quirky ways, right?
So spill the beans, what fascinating, odd, or ‘frowned upon’ by dentist habits are you willing to admit to? Anyone else a double brusher? Or do you have your own take on the way everyday things ‘should’ be done? This could be with anything, not just related to oral hygiene. Maybe you only eat chip butties on a Thursday? Or perhaps you read a book back to front because it’s more intriguing that way?
Go on, out with your unusual ways! Let’s see who can claim the title of the quirkiest routine 🤔
