Have you ever wondered how oral hygiene takes place in space?
Well, wonder no more! Check out this video where Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield explains how to brush your teeth in space: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TU9kffoAQ8U
So there you have it. Your basic toothbrush and toothpaste can serve you just as well off the planet as they do on Earth.
NOTE: The brushing technique (and swallowing toothpaste) didn’t impress our hygienist, Janet Scott, who said, "I’m amazed that guy has any teeth left!"
You can read Janet’s advice on brushing your teeth in our next blog.
