I agree with Solid. I've seen you doing it all over the boards and it gets damn annoying. Either say something meaningful or don't post, please.

I avoid it as much as possible

Yup, I have a motor brush that even shows how long I brush my teeth! I try to brush for at least 2 min, twice a day, but even that's hard for me to do! I close my eyes also when I brush my teeth.

When I watch other people brush their teeth I cringe when I see it and hear the bristles against their teeth.

So yeah, I have a hard time brushing my teeth...

I'm getting better at brushing my teeth... It used to be I would do it once a week (sometimes less often), now I try my best to do it at least once a day if not twice, but it doesn't always happen but I rarely go more then 2 days without brushing.
I really don't mind smiling because my teeth seem to be all but immune to plaque build-up, talking to someone inches away from their face is a different story, even if I did brush that morning (if my mouth gets dry at any point in the day I will have bad breath the rest of the day)
I'm not quite sure what makes me not like doing them, I just don't.

Same here. Used to I just never remembered AND the toothpaste flavor was kinda unberable, but now I have a better kind and if I don't do it, it just makes me feel wierd the rest of the day...

When I was younger, I never used to like brusing my teeth. I can't remember why although I remember having fights about this with my mother lol.

Now I don't have any issues with tooth brushing. I like brushing my teeth because I feel safe knowing that I'm doing whatever I can to keep myself healthy.

Yes I always have had a problem brushing my teeth, im actually 20 and 2 days but im not in anyway an adult, I hope you don't mind me posting here. Anyway I've developed a phobia of teeth but it doesn't really effect my brushing I just say it does because I have such issues with it, the tooth brush I use is age 0-2 but I still find it hard to use. I can't stand the toothpaste either.

The only reason I don't like to brush my teeth is that I must always shake my head and look to the left when I'm brushing. I think it may have something to do with my OCD...

I don't like to brush my teeth, but I do it.

I also really like baking-soda toothpaste, which everyone else (my friends, family) seems to find strange. I find the salty taste of it is really wonderful.

Lol I never thought there would be so many other people who didn't brush their teeth
Anyway-, I used to be the same, but ever since I've been working (worst job; I am the girl who puts all of your groceries and other items through the cash register at your local supermarket. I could go on, but thats a different story) I've really needed to brush my teeth because otherwise the customers would be repulsed.
But I honestly didn't think it was so bad not brushing your teeth all the time (used to be like once a month)... mehh.

I haven't had problems with toothbrushing for awhile. When I was little I had a little trouble, however. I still need to go to the dentist because I haven't gone to one since I was 12 and so I have a few cavities that need to be filled, not to mention get my teeth cleaned lol.

Whoa, I never expected this topic to come back... problem is i'm still having problems with it.
I got a sonic toothbrush to help with this as i've heard from many sources that you don't actually need to brush properly with it, but my mum seems insistant that you do, even though I posted this on yahoo answers and I got responces from dental hygienists, including one with an autistic son lol. So I really don't know what to do lol.

weekdays-no problem

weekends (or breaks from school)-no problem during morning, evening I have a hard time doing it as I might eat late and be too tired to get up and brush my teeth.

I have a problem not brushing well enough & only brushing my TEETH, not my gums.

I had a hard time brushing my teeth when I was younger, I used to forget to aswell and my dad had to remind me.
I think it's kinda boring now, hehe, but I still brush em
