If you're right handed/ left handed

Do you brush your teeth with your left or right hand? I'm right but brush with left and DD thinks it's weird as she's right but brushes with right!

Left handed and brush with my left.

A hygeinist I saw once reckons most people brush with their dominent hand - she reckoned that teeth were brushed better on the opposite side (seemed to have a bet on the go with her colleague Grin). So, as I was left handed, and natuarally hold my toothbrush in my left hand, then the teeth on the right side of my mouth were in better shape than those on the left.
She reckoned she could tell without knowing the person, and was asking them then, to verify her theory.

Interesting theory. I’m left handed but do almost everything, except writing, with my right including brushing my teeth.

I'm fairly ambidextrous, but write with my right (usually, I swap if it's more convenient) Dm reckoned in a left hand world I would have been left handed.
Brushing teeth though is something I always do right handed. Might be because of the mirror position. I even swap hands to do it-I hold it in my left hand while I squeeze toothpaste on, then swap it to my right to do the brushing.
