Summary[]
Mr. Perfect answers the titular question, saying: "When you brush your teeth, you have to brush them perfectly, otherwise, it's pointless. You know why we do it. Because when we eat, tiny pieces of food get stuck between our teeth. If we don't remove them, our teeth get damaged. To remove them, you have to scrub for a long time because the space between the teeth is very small. They're really stuck! It takes longer than removing dirt from your skin. And above all, don't forget to brush your back teeth!" while sympathizing with the reader.
