How To Put Toothpaste On A Toothbrush One-Handed

December 18, 2011 — 7 Comments

Brushing your teeth is messy business.

In the movies they’re able to keep their mouth shut the whole time and keep the mess to a minimum. I’m not able to do that. My mouth is usually wide open and toothpaste foam gets all over the place; my lips and chin, down my toothbrush, onto my fingers…it’s not pretty. And rinsing and spitting, while somewhat refreshing, is kind of disgusting.

That is why I did not film the actual brushing of my teeth. You are glad I didn’t.

Are you a “clean” teeth-brusher? Or do you make a huge mess like me?

    If not for the good of all mankind, at least for this Momma of a Single Handed Super Hero. Oliver is 3 and we are learning great ways to do it all. I LOVE THESE POSTS. It shows him a “Daddy” who is doing is all single-handedly, too. And, my other two son enjoy watching a grown up just like like Ollie. :). A millions thank you’s and keep them coming!

    Thanks so much for making these!! My son is having a blast watching them & comparing notes on what you & he do the same & what you do differently.

  3. I JUST WANDERED INTO YOUR SITE AFTER A FACEBOOK FRIEND HAD SHARED IT. I HAVE A 3 1/2 YEAR OLD GRANDSON BORN WITH HIS RIGHT ARM ABSENT JUST BELOW THE ELBOW. I CAN’T WAIT TO SHARE THIS INFO WITH HIS MOTHER, MY DAUGHTER. I THINK YOUR SITE WILL BE HELPFUL FOR HIM TO SEE OTHERS WITH AN ARM LIKE HIS AND ALSO SHOWING WAYS TO ACCOMPLISH THINGS ONE HANDED. YOU ARE WONDERFUL AND KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK! GRANDMA DONNA

    • Thank you for your kind words! I’m so glad to be able to help. πŸ™‚

      • Nice post which usually wide open and toothpaste foam gets all over the place; my lips and chin, down my toothbrush, onto my fingers it’s not pretty. And rinsing and spitting, while somewhat refreshing, is kind of disgusting. Thanks a lot for posting.
