Or perhaps you too have thought quite matter-of-factly that you can communicate in garbled-foaming-speak if you just slush it to the back and sides. You can’t – you sound like a bridge troll, but whatever your oral hygiene quirk is, you can safely assume some of that stuff goes down the hatch.

We’ve pulled together all our reads on oral care in one place to help you get clued up and equipped with easy DIY solutions.
