What the hell kind of question is that. if you hate brushing so much then just dont do it whatever all your teeth will fall out and then you will see why your mom wanted you to brush your teeth. it only takes like 2 minutes to brush your teeth. its not a big deal

Your mom is right. Be sure to get a dental consult before your teeth start rotting from the old food that is probably building up in your mouth. Just remember, you will never get kissed from a boy friend or girlfriend with bad breath caused by bacteria.

When you brush your teeth your are not only brushing away food. You are also cleaning your teeth of bacteria that builds up on it.

It's brushing your teeth. 2 min out of your life that you won't miss.

I think it's better than having your teeth rot and get cavities. Which I can guarentee will happen if you continue on this path.

sit her down and just tell her that you only use the right side and that you are you only brushing the right side....but remember one day when your all gown up you are still only going to be brushing the right side cause you wont have any teeth on the left cause they will rot and fall out...good luck doll!

What are your plans in your future? If you'd like friends, possibly a mate in your adult future, etc. you should brush ALL of your teeth. It's just good hygiene.
DO YOU WANNA LOOK LIKE SHREK BY THE MOUTH?
I would hope that you start brushing so that in a couple of years you have teeth to chew your foods instead of drinking Ensure.
Consider your gums too.

you are not going to change your mom's mind. she is right. even if you did only chew with the right side of your mouth you would still have to brush everything. you brush to clean your mouth of bacteria that gets on your teeth, not just to clean off what you eat. if you ate nothing at all you would still have to brush your whole mouth. sorry. i love brushing my teeth, i am 22.

Bacteria builds up all over your mouth no matter what side you chew. It takes 2 minutes to brush your teeth, and is a lot better than having the dentist drill into your teeth to fill a cavity.

Brush your teeth - don't be disgusting.
Whatever side you chew on your saliva will still wash the bacteria around your mouth anyway. But do wwhatever you want..

ok u have to brush your whole mouth if u want your teeth to fall out and your breath to smell like butt go ahead keep what u are doing up

Just brush your teeth. You dont wan to be going dentist more do you?? You will regret it in the future!

Having lots of friends will be according to your healthy appearance and good hygiene. You see having friends would be easy if and only you will have a good grooming,such as clean and fresh breath...start with a simple one and you will end up to get a bigger one.

WEIRDO! You're mum is right, brush your teeth! You know that if you don't brush your teeth you will get cavities, which apparently hurt like hell. Your teeth can also rot and as more bacteria builds up you will begin to swallow it, causing you to obtain diseases such as heart disease, stroke, uncontrolled diabetes, preterm births and respiratory disease. You can also get gum disease and your teeth will rot out of your mouth. You don't want to have to wear dentures at the age of 10! LISTEN TO YOUR MUM! She knows best. I am 13 years old now but when I was 10 I didn't want to brush my teeth either, but I did anyway!
LONER, who doesn't want friends and shrek is ugly, i would kill myself if I looked like him!

we can really tell that you are a 10 year old...quit being so lazy and brush your teeth.......once they are gone, they NEVER grow back and dentures cost $$$$......like I said grow up...no one wants to talk to a potty mouth......bad breathe is disgusting.

hahaha sorry but the comments are soo true and so funny. Seriously, brush all of your teeth for at least 3 minutes 2 times a day and rinse with listerine eveytime you brush.

if you dont youll end of being rejected from your boyfriends (if you have) because of your butt smelling breath and youl get laughed at. and youll lose all your teeth by the time your 20 becuase the dentist will have no choice but to yank them out.

seriously, your mom tells you that becuase she loves u and doesnt want u to end up like this. it;s better than having a root canal. or worst lose your teeth.

good luck!

Well.. Sweetie. Brushing your teeth only takes maybe a minute and a half. If you are already in the bathroom brushing one side of your teeth brush the other! Its not hard. You will really regret it once you get cavities like crazy, and maybe need root canals. Its easier just to take care of your teeth. Brush them and take care of them.

Good luck.

O K keep doing that.

In about three years time all your teeth on the left will decay then you won't have to worry.

You will be putting your false ones in a jar.

Your mom is RIGHT

Well if you dont like to brush your teeth you can buy a brush that spins so you dont have to brussh it can brush it for you you can also just use mouthwash so your breath will smell good and it will kill some germs try chewing on gum and taking mints but chewing on it wont help trust me
