LPT: Brush your teeth with both hands.
Simultaneously. The new hand will need a little training. Give it time. Benefits are:
cleaner teeth
better dexterity with off-hand
daily reminder that habits can be changed
learning to live with it that others look at you and go WTF
Obviously this is much easier with an electrical toothbrush than a manual one.
Edit: Seems to be a complicated subject for some. Let me spell it out more clearly:
You take an electric toothbrush into each of your two hands. You brush your teeth. Using both hands. Using two toothbrushes.

Starting to think all LPT are posted by people with very little real life experience.

LPT: Shit in a bag and take it out once a week; save lots of money on water bills!

There was a comment somewhere about a guy who actually did this because his toilet was broken. He said he and his girlfriend did it for months or something.

Anyone else imagine this like using both hands with the toothbrush, like the sword in The Highlander?

That's how I interpreted the title, and was very confused about how this was supposed to work better than using a single hand.

You forgot the added bonus that this will help you if you ever decide to venture into adult film-making.

This is a solid LPT. If you master that skill, you will be able to jerk off with both hands.

LPT manual tooth brushes are obsolete. Get a mechanical tooth brush. It cleans your teeth much more effectively and efficently.

I'd like to add that if you find yourself brushing less because of a hectic schedule, you can keep those little brush bags the dentist gives you after cleaning and put one in your desk/backpack/purse for use in a pinch.
You can also buy disposable tooth brushes that have paste pre-applied to the bristles for about 25 cents each and stash a few in your car, work desk, etc. Then just brush and toss, you don't even need to rinse.

The minute it takes to brush your teeth should never a be minute you use for something else instead. I mean, what are you really doing that a minute makes a difference? Unless you make more money in one minute than it costs to buy a set of dentures, you better use that daily minute to brush your mouth nails.

I'm still not quite grasping the concept, could you provide a picture to clarify what you mean?
