My wife learned this the hard (read expensive) way.

My sentiments exactly, not only teeth but injury to gums as well. My dentist recommends brushing twice a day, before bed and upon rising. It's about bacteria that form while your mouth is closed and saliva production is at a minimum.

Radius brand. Friggin awesome! You will never use "regular" brush again.

YES. I used these all through college and I remember the Dentist's Assistant raving about how perfectly clean my teeth were. Seriously she wouldn't shut up I was wondering if she was going to follow me to my car or pick through my trash. I had to chuck it because it got worn out, and can't find a new one anywhere.
