Dumb question

Because I never had a cat that did this before.
Foot seems to like to 'brush her teeth' by chewing on and dragging the bristles of the broom through her teeth.
1) Is this normal?
2) Is this an early indication of gingivitis or some other gum/tooth problem?
3) Should I worry and hide the broom?

Two of 'em have been in the house.
And the dogs? Not in the house. But you know about the shoe adventure. And they don't do that.
