Or at least, you know, twice a day and after meals if I&#8217;m home and I floss. Oh, I floss. So of course, being a good dental patient, I looked up exactly how long I am supposed to brush my teeth.<\/p>\n<p>And I discovered, you are supposed to brush your teeth for about 3 minutes. 3 minutes, people. For those of you who don&#8217;t know, that is the approximate length of the song 4 Minutes. (Granted, the version with Timbaland is 4 minutes long, which I guess redeems the fact that the rest of the versions are a close 3 minutes.)<\/p>\n<p>So folks, if you want to save the world (or just your teeth) turn up the &#8220;4 Minutes&#8221; (by Madonna and Justin, OR if you&#8217;re so inclined, by the Glee cast) and dance around your bathroom, brushing those teeth at a 45 degree angle, and make sure to brush your tongue.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"border:0 none;\" src=\"http:\/\/thepenguinswillfindyou.files.wordpress.com\/2008\/12\/ist2_1463881-brush-your-teeth.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"380\" height=\"380\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I went to the dentist yesterday.
