At what point should a Polycule have more than 1 tooth brush? (midwest.social)

I think 1 is more than enough despite the size of the polycule and keeps the counter looking tidy. What do you think?

Update: getting an electric tooth brush with our first fruits and getting a separate brush attachment for each of us that we can make a piece of pottery to hold super easy! Thanks for the input those that were helpful!

If you replace yours after every use, then go for it!

If you keep a more traditional schedule of toothbrush replacement, I'd strongly suggest one brush per person per month. You might get away with one brush per 2 people per month, or one brush per person per up to 3 months, but not both.

That's what big tooth brush wants you to think. If you use mouth wash after you brush, like you are supposed to, it sanitizes your whole mouth.

That's what someone in the pockets of big mouth wash would say.

The use of mouthwash contributes to the evolution of resistant bacteria. Mouthwash should be used sparingly, only for when it's needed (i.e. medically).

The use of mouthwash also nearly negates the use of a flouride-based toothpaste.
