For a change of scenery.
To brush the road.
The toothbrush was accidentally dropped by its owner and needed to find its way back.
To get away from the germs and bad bacteria.
To get away from bad breath.
The joke “Why did the toothbrush cross the road? To get away from bad breath” is a twist on the classic “Why did the chicken cross the road?” joke format. Instead of leading to the expected nonsensical answer “to get to the other side,” it surprises the listener with an answer that makes sense within the context of dental hygiene. The humor comes from personifying a toothbrush, giving it a motive to move—a motive that is in line with its use, which is to clean teeth and combat bad breath.
