Do you know that humans have been cleaning their teeth for over seven thousand years?


       It is thought that the Egyptians (埃及人) used a finger instead of a toothbrush to clean their teeth. Your toothbrush, however, may have also become     1     because it is now possible to clean our teeth without using our hands!

Two Canadians, Adel Elseri and Said Fayad, have made something called T2T or “tongue (舌头)-to-teeth”. Elseri says he came up with the idea     2     he was driving home after a long day at work. His idea is a toothbrush that goes onto your tongue. T2T has special edges and toothpaste. So just     3     your tongue over your teeth and it cleans your teeth just like a toothbrush does! It will make your breath fresh, too.

Elseri and Fayad made this hand free toothbrush because they thought it was a     4     way for people to brush their teeth. But people can only use the T2T once.

Would you use the tongue-to-teeth? The Huffington Post in the US     5     readers what they thought. Sixty-one percent (百分之) said that they would use it while only thirty-nine percent said they would not. I think I am going to keep using my toothbrush.
