One of the most enjoyable and helpful things in life is brushing your teeth. Brushing your teeth is extremely helpful, protecting your teeth from rotting, damage, and the gum disease gingivitis. There is only one problem: if you do it incorrectly, it could lead to injury or death. My cousin’s friend’s roommate’s mom’s uncle’s brother’s dog’s former owner’s niece nearly died from brushing her teeth incorrectly. Her hand slipped, and the toothbrush ripped open a huge gash from her left jaw all the way to her elbow. She had to have her arm amputated, but she survived. Still, brushing your teeth is still very helpful, and there are very few cases of death or injury by teeth-brushing, thus, the benefits outweigh the risks. You should always brush your teeth twice per day in order to avoid tooth rot, damage, and the gum disease gingivitis.
