Jessica Simpson’s pearly white teeth are not as carefully kept as they may appear.

Hollywood actress Jessica Simpson has made quite a disturbing confession that she does not brush her teeth.

The A-list celebrity and star of films such as Dukes of Hazzard and Blonde Ambition claimed she only ever uses mouthwash and fights plaque by using her jumper to wipe her teeth!

Emergency dentists might therefore be forgiven for being stunned by her pearly whites and would no doubt recommend that this is not a course of action that should be followed to maintain good oral health.

Elsewhere, Fiji Village recently reported ensuring teeth are brushed daily is key to helping teeth stay healthy and a person’s smile remains bright.

Dental officer Dr Maher Angez told the publication a failure of many young people to brush twice a day and the increased consumption of sugary snacks has meant oral health in general has declined in recent years.
