Today, my father told me he hasn't brushed his teeth for 30 years: he just wipes them with paper towels. I don't know whether to be horribly disgusted, or horribly jealous that he has never gotten a cavity. FML

I would be horribly disgusted. That's gross

Maybe it's just me, but wouldn't wiping your teeth down with paper towels be more involving and possibly time consuming than a quick brush?

If he doesn't eat added sugar he'd be fine. Teeth brushing is only necessary because of the amount if sugar we add to our food.

If he eats foods that naturally clean them and is thorough with the wipe-clean, it makes perfect sense. Some people can't handle bristles, and they make these finger swipe things for on-the-go, minty cloth you rub over your teeth and then toss out. I've used them before, they work fine for during a long day, or just eat an apple or another fruit/veggie with a similar crunch.
