Does Brushing Your Teeth Make You Smarter? {Giveaway}

I'm using the recently launched Crest® & Oral-B® Complete product line, an innovative collection of toothpastes, mouthwashes, toothbrushes and flosses that you can actually feel working, but does it get your brain working as well? It got me thinking does brushing your teeth actually make you smarter?
Momma Findings:
So, I had to share a comment I got from an old friend on my Facebook Status. Ok. Okay. I'm going to share two comments that gave me a good chuckle.
See! I'm not the only one with "bathroom moments"! The longer I'm in there the more I feel like a genius. The next best thing will come out of my bathroom and launch me into Social Media Geniushood all because I spent a little extra time with my new Oral B Toothbrush.
While I understand it's not the backdrop of a corporate headquarters, the bathroom can serve for great ideas, as Yvette said above. Now if you own a business, you might want to take Mike's idea and grab up some Crest and Oral B as well.
Hey. I don't make this stuff up. Crest + Oral B + Bathroom = Genius Ideas. Just sayin'.
Tips on Setting Aside “Me” Time and a Great Smile:
- Get Lost in Your Own Bathroom: Make a deal with your man: one night a week, he lets you take a break from it all, including getting the kids ready for bed. Use this time to do something simple, but nice, for yourself. Take a hot bath, paint your nails, use that new facial mask…just ensure that hour is all about you!
- Look for Something Extraordinary in the Ordinary: Now that fall is upon us, set the alarm clock for 30 minutes earlier one morning each week. Get outside and take a walk – take a moment to look around and appreciate your surroundings and the peaceful calm of the new day. Let yourself see things you would normally miss because your mind is in a million places throughout the day.
- Divide and Conquer: The best way to effectively brush your teeth is to come up with a strategy. Divide your mouth into “quadrants” and be sure to reach all four sections and spend equal time and energy on all areas of your mouth.
- Out with the Old and In with the New: Replace toothbrushes every three months to maximize the cleaning efficacy.
- Twice A Day Keeps the Mean Scraper Away: To brush your teeth correctly, spend at least two minutes brushing your teeth, both in the morning and at night.

I don't know how strange a place it is, more like an interesting time--I often find the solution to problems, or the correct question to ask to solve a problem in those couple of minutes when I am waking up, but not quite awake. I remember being in college and finding the approach I needed for a difficult paper or assignment in those moments.

In the shower!

I know this is not the strangest place but while I was bent over inside my kitchen cabinet, I had an idea for dessert that evening.

It is an interesting blog and infact true. I liked the idea of spending enough time in brushing the teeth. You are right it is good to spend 2 min to brushing the teeth. I agree with you that Oral-B toothbrushes are good to use.
I brainstorm in the shower.
I think pumping gas, was thing of an idea to help with storing the kids lego's when not in use.
probably the wierdest spot has been in the shower

I have to say the shower too. Sometimes it's the only place quiet enough to think in this house!

I actually do get good ideas while in the bathroom. I think it's because it's the quietest place in our busy home!
