- haydesigner, on 04/23/2008, -0/+15"let me **** him"?
I'm guessing that missing word starts with either a "K" or an "F"... - Dylson, on 04/23/2008, -1/+11I bet if I ate my own crap and sniffed asses on a regular basis I would have better oral hygiene.
- schizogony, on 04/23/2008, -2/+12Mythbusters proved this like three years ago.
- cboy222447, on 04/23/2008, -1/+10...without peanutbutter
- Tomboys, on 04/23/2008, -4/+10Now I'll can feel okay when my dog gives me a big wet kiss after eating another dogs doo doo.
- peterjmag, on 04/23/2008, -1/+6Eat?
- icepick314, on 04/23/2008, -0/+4maybe we all should try them Milkbone biscuits instead of brushing and flossing.
- weirdalexis, on 04/23/2008, -1/+5let me in?
(ok that's disgusting) - Oea420, on 04/23/2008, -0/+3Humans have generally healthy, self-cleaning teeth if they dont ingest a bunch of negative things. If your diet is free from a lot of sugars and acids, teeth are actually pretty sturdy.
The reason people have so many teeth problems these days are most foods are loaded with sugar and acid. I'm sure if your dog was drinking some coca cola before he went to sleep, he'd have some pretty gnarly teeth after awhile.
Plus you have to take into account lifespan, humans have teeth designed for a much smaller lifespan than what we currently live.
Plus, with all of this oral hygeine going on, there's really no selective pressure for stronger teeth. - YahtzeeG, on 04/23/2008, -0/+3In short... "its like comparing apples to oranges"
- Matt174e, on 04/23/2008, -0/+3I hate mad libs.
- ChinezePanda, on 04/23/2008, -0/+2I dont lick my ass or suck my own dick while sitting in dirt in my front yard somewhere.
So... I refuse to believe it. I mean..
I ALSO BRUSH MY TEETH AND USE LISTERINE! - ronk, on 04/23/2008, -0/+2Actually, if you brush your teeth twice a day and rinse your mouth after you eat stuff you will have better teeth than the average individual..
- bbandito, on 04/23/2008, -0/+2You mean you read the articles, I'm too busy pretending I'm a popular Digg-ian and hammering those Digg buttons to actually read any of this stuff.
- CyberInferno, on 04/23/2008, -0/+2Buried for misleading subtitle. If people would actually RTFA after this grabbing introduction paragraph, it continues with:
"Could this really be true?
Well, sadly, no." - 3leggedHorse, on 04/23/2008, -0/+1 So licking your ass keeps your mouth cleaner.
- ALyken, on 04/23/2008, -0/+1should be KISS him, it was an honest mistake and was just a joke. Oh yeah, just remembered, when you sign up for digg you're meant to leave your sense of humour at the door.
(Sorry about the mistake!) - Berkana, on 04/23/2008, -3/+4I don't know about other breeds, but sometimes, Labrador retrievers eat their own feces to re-digest it in an attempt to extract more nutrients from the food the second time around. Thank goodness they can't really chew; imagine what molars would look/smell like after a meal of dog *****.
- mattiP, on 04/23/2008, -1/+2Dog breath stinks though, so I'll still be avoiding the wet kisses, good hygiene or not.
- rebo2, on 04/23/2008, -0/+1I actually tested this theory. I prepared 2 plates of agar jell, allowed my dog to lick one, and I licked the other to the same extent. I put wrap over the specimens, and allowed the bacteria to grow.
Result: Dog's lick had MUCH more bacteria.
Thanks. - flameboy, on 04/23/2008, -0/+1wtf? Try reading the article.
- lacreme, on 04/23/2008, -1/+2yeah, dog breath tells me otherwise
- diggitydoc, on 04/23/2008, -0/+1could you at least read the ***** article before you make yourself sound like an ass?
FTA: Could this really be true?
Well, sadly, no. In short, a dog’s mouth is besieged by its own legions of germs, roughly as huge in population as those living in the human mouth and causing a similar array of dental illnesses.
nice story though... - diggitydoc, on 04/23/2008, -0/+1nice one retard. "surprisingly i didn't even read this article before i commented on it"
- inactive, on 04/24/2008, -0/+1We have only YOUR word on this...
- Zaggynl, on 04/23/2008, -0/+1Duh, they smell for a reason.
- SpaceMonkeyZero, on 04/23/2008, -1/+2You're sort of correct. What it means is that their food isn't giving them enough nutrients the first time they ate it. In otherwords... cheap dog food passes through them before they can fully digest.
- trollick, on 04/23/2008, -0/+1My dog is a big cat crap connoisseur. So, the answer is NO.
- flameboy, on 04/23/2008, -1/+2heh... you should probably read the article, bud.
- jimjoke, on 04/23/2008, -0/+1My dog eats its poop.
- amdforever, on 04/23/2008, -3/+3Dogs don't do oral sex...
- d3faultnet, on 04/23/2008, -1/+1tl;dr: no.
- travis1982, on 04/23/2008, -2/+2hahahaha
- JasonCox, on 04/23/2008, -1/+2Did they just discover Mythbusters or something?
- gkiltz, on 04/23/2008, -0/+0Sometimes!
I brush my dog's teeth with swallowable dog toothpaste, and a child's toot brush. Their normal body temperature is warmer than ours, about 102 degrees F Fewer bacteria thrive at that temperature, and their digestive enzymes break down things ours can't.
If you take proper care of them, it should really be cleaner than yours1 - mohsenxp, on 04/23/2008, -0/+0hmm ddnt really want to read about a dog's mouth, but i did anyway! the internet is a weird thing.
- anshuman, on 04/23/2008, -2/+1you mean even after licking balls and sniffing behinds? is it still cleaner??? common??? what did you smoke today??
- kelmaster1, on 04/23/2008, -1/+0It's the saliva, dog saliva has better cleaning bacteria than ours. Our saliva works pretty well, but surprisingly people didn't even know that if you have good saliva genetics, you practically don't need to brush at all given that:
1.) you eat healthy whole foods and very little sugar
2.) Keep your mouth shut when sleeping (this is a big plaque builder, since your saliva dries up)
3.) Stay hydrated
4.) Have good saliva
Using sodium-fluoride works like any drug, your body becomes used to it being used and therefore lowers the natural cavity fighters in your saliva.
Dogs have tons of saliva, which has stronger (good) bacteria than ours. - inactive, on 04/23/2008, -2/+0Well I know I wouldn't let a dog blow me. Or a street whore.
So no, it isn't. Why do you ask? - alchemist27, on 04/23/2008, -3/+1cbf reading.
can someone give me a quick answer? - ALyken, on 04/23/2008, -10/+2I've always wondered why my dog won't let me him, now I know.
