They recommend that you do it 2x a day. I think 1x a day is sufficent and 2x if you are a stickler. How about you? How often does everyone brush their teeth? Have you ever lied to the dentist or ped about how often everyone brushes?

I do it at least twice a day. It's a must for me to brush my teeth in the morning. I'd feel sleepy and inactive all throughout the day I won't do this. Of course, it would also give me self-confidence especially when talking to somebody. Then another important thing is to brush my teeth before sleeping. This is to prevent sore throat or canker sores. On top of these things, brushing our teeth at least twice a day would definitely keep dentists away aside from having clean and healthy teeth & gums.

I brush 2X a day. First thing in the morning and last thing before going to bed. I also replace my toothbrush every three months or at least close to it.

Usually I do one time mainly before I go to bed but if I feel bad taste in my mouth I will brush my teeth again in the morning. In fact we need correct method when we brush our teeth or it is no use and sometimes it may break our teeth.
