Thinking Outside of the Box 4

I'm the guy who's always trying to come up with better methods to accomplish goals, be they mundane or essential. For example, I have developed two ideas for mail carriers to sort mail faster (I recently retired from the USPS). One was adopted nationwide, while the other is now being officially evaluated. But you'll have to judge for yourself whether there's a madness to my method, or vice versa, in this series.

We've all seen an various ads for this or that brand of toothbrush, and invariably one of the boasts made is that "because of its unique design, our brush reaches places in your teeth that other brushes can't reach!" Have you ever chewed one of those pills that exposes how much you missed after brushing by turning the food particles remaining in your mouth into a bright color? So this definitely is something to consider.

I have no doubt that toothbrush A, with one design, may reach places that B, with a different design, may miss, but I'll bet B can get to places A can't. And C with yet another design might reach spots that the first two missed. So should you use A, B, or C? Yes. Who says you have to use one toothbrush three times a day, every day? I actually have five that I choose from (in no particular order). Why not? Toothbrushes are cheap--I never spend more than a dollar for a toothbrush. So there's a greater chance that every part of my teeth will be eventually cleaned every day.

The bottom line: My dentist tells me that my teeth and gums are healthier than 95% of her patients.
BTW, don't forget to floss at least once a day!
