Showbiz Tonight, ABC News cite ADA oral hygiene recommendations
On April 29, Showbiz Tonight (on CNN) ran a clip of Jessica Simpson's appearance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show." The celebrity admitted she doesn't regularly brush her teeth, and the host of Showbiz Tonight said, "Well, Jessica Simpson is mouthing off, and this is just gross. Jess just sat down with Ellen DeGeneres and reveals a very shocking secret. Jess doesn`t believe in brushing her teeth every day. Eww." Brooke Anderson, the host, concluded the segment by saying, "Seriously, Jess? I`m sure you know this, but the American Dental Association recommends brushing at least twice a day." ABC News.com also covered the Jessica Simpson story and quoted two ADA spokespersons, Dr. Sally Cram and Matthew Messina, about oral hygiene.
