Hey,my dentist always tells me to brush at night,but this practice is simply not getting into me.Maximum nights after dinner,I brush,but often I forget. Do you too brush at night?

i try to brush my teeth at night so that i get to complete the brush two times a day slogan. hehehehe...anyway, sometimes i do tend to forget that i brush just once a day and i do mouthwash at night. also, i have a question, which is better? burshing, flossing, or mouthwashing??

I think brushing is important to clean the surface of the teeth,flossing for cleaning the inner parts between the teeth and mouth washing for killing of germs...so a bit of both is important..

yes, i do brush my teeth before going to sleep at night and do mouth wash too. i tend to forget always the flossing. it is important to brush at night so that the food you intake will not accumulate in your teeth that would result tooth decay or cavities that gives you bad breath in the morning.

Yes, I too have made myself to get into the habit of brushing my teeth twice a day. Earlier I used to skip the brushing before going to bed by making some excuses to myself, but now I have focussed on it, and am in the habit now. We can question as to why we should brush our teeth in the night time. But in the night time, only we take a nap. But the germs never sleep. So as we people know, it may pave way for tooth decay. The germs may put big holes in our teeth. Of course the after math is a painful experience to anyone who is experiencing the tooth decay problem. We will never be able to eat anything properly without accepting the pain, which accompanies it. So it is always better to brush your teeth twice. Once in the morning, as soon as you wake up. And once in the night when we go to sleep .
