When You Brush Your Teeth

 

Do You Wet Your Toothbrush First  And Then Apply Toothpaste....

 

OR, Do You Apply Toothpaste To The Brush.... And Then Wet The Brush?

 

I alway wet my toothbrush first as I find the toothpaste often falls off the brush  when I add water after.... I asked my husband what he does( been married 40 years and this subject never came upSmiley Happy )  and he said he wets his toothbrush AFTER applying the toothpaste...

 

WHO WOULD HAVE KNOWN????!!!! I learned something about my partner that I never knew!

 

HOW ABOUT YOU?

I was never taught to "wet my brush" at any time when brushing my teeth.  Been brushing with a 'dry' brush since childhood.

Wet only the other way is just to rough even if a soft brush.

I wet my brush first, then apply toothpaste. Then I brush.  I also wet my brush several times while brushing if using a manual toothbrush.
