Everyone knows that brushing your teeth regularly is a must if you want to keep them in good condition and prevent dental problems, but it appears that American singer Katy Perry has taken the advice a step too far, as she admits to taking a supply of new toothbrushes everywhere she goes, to stop her teeth from getting cavities.

A source told the Daily Star that Katy had experienced tooth decay when she was younger and is so determined to avoid the problem that she brushes her teeth up to six times a day. The singer spoke to YouTube this week and revealed that a childhood fascination with the teeth of pop star Britney Spears started her obsession with oral hygiene, saying ‘I wanted them to be like Britney Spears white. I used to grow up seeing her music videos and be like ‘what does she do? Does she get a new set of teeth all the time? They’re so white.’

The 27-year-old divorcee also admitted that suffering with dental caries as a child contributed to the habit, ‘I’ll brush my teeth [after] breakfast, lunch and dinner,’ she says, ‘I did have thirteen cavities at one time, so you can imagine why I’m so freaked out. When I was a kid I didn’t really go to the dentist a lot and when I finally went, they were like, ‘you might as well get a new set of teeth.’
