How Often SHOULD You Brush Your Teeth?

I just brush mine twice a day. Once in the morning and once at night. That is what most dentists recommend as a normal amount. Also, use mouthwash twice a day and floss at least once a day. Sometimes I let the flossing slip to 3 or 4 times a week just because I am lazy even though I know I should do it once a day at least. They also have those tiny toothbrushes that you can put in your purse or pocket to use in between the meals or snacks if you aren't at home to brush your teeth.

I always brush mine twice a day! I usually chew sugar free gum and drink water after meals though!

You can brush with no paste. I am prediabetic but don´t eat 6 meals a day.

We were taught to brush when you first get up in the morning, after each meal, after snacks, and before bed, ALWAYS, no excuses.

A few years ago it was recommended twice a day. Morning and before bed.

Ideally you should brush your teeth every time you have your food, in most of the cases it is not possible. But brushing your teeth before going to bed is compulsory. Rinsing your mouth will not have same effect as brushing, it can be done whenever brushing is not possible. If you have a habit of flossing, continue that. You can even use inter-dental toothbrushes instead of Dental floss.

Usually I brush my teeth twice a day. That's in the morning after I get up and in the evening before I go to bed. But I will use the waterpik to clean my teeth after lunch in the office. It is convenient for me.

It depends I think on what health condition you are in or your teeth are in. I see my dentist every month because of my braces for thorough teeth cleaning. And since I have braces I need to clean my teeth after eating. Normally without braces or any special conditions, the dentist would advise to make sure you brush your teeth twice a day or every after meal. But not to over brush because brushing can destroy the enamel of the teeth making it weaker instead of stronger. Flossing is better to get rid of the particles stuck in between teeth and then a moth wash. I also learned recently that when we brush our teeth, we should not neglect brushing our gums as well.

I usually brush my teeth after eating meals.

I brush my teeth (and floss) after every meal, I do not get snacks. Rinsing has not the same results.

Twice brushing with paste and after eating cleans the mouth and teeth without paste.

I wish I had some teeth to brush @Hate2Iron . The type of water we had rotted them all out. I think brushing when you get up and go to bed with toothpaste is good and then for the inbetween times, just using the brush.

We were taught after meals and bedtime. That seems adequate.

I brush after I had a meal, which means breakfast, lunch, teatime, dinner and snack. 5 times a day , less one time from yours. Problem is , I have periodintis , a gum disease which is serious losing my teeth. I lost 2 teeth already and my gum is swelling.

I brush three times a week.Which is plenty and for me.
