Me I brush my teeth almost 3 times a day. I guess depending on how many meals I ate. Plus if I had a snack that's so delicious like a dessert or have a lingering taste in my mouth. And How about YOU??

as for me, i brush my teeth three times a day, after breakfast or when i woke up, after lunch and after dinner. After dinner i made sure i am not eating anything after brushing my teeth because if i do then i have to brush my teeth again.

I usually brush my teeth three times a day. I prefer to use a toothpaste that has a 12 hour antibacterial protection. I don't like the feeling of not having my mouth cleaned. It just feels icky.

I brush my teeth twice a day.Thats after getting up and before going to sleep.I heard doing too much is not good for your dental health.But I do rinse my month everytime after I eat especially cookies or dairy products.It makes me comfortable.

I brush my teeth after every meal. This gives me the fresh and clean feeling in my mouth. Makes me uncomfortable talking or having a conversation with someone when I haven't brush my teeth. When I go out I often bring a small toothbrush in my bag.

i normally brush my teeth thrice a day or eery other meal. there are times when i have to go out in between meals so i'd freshen up before leaving and i'd brush my teeth again.

Normally I brush my teeth three times a day. That's every after meal. There are times I am lazy, that is, when I'm home, but I do rinse my mouth after eating and use dental floss instead to get rid of food debris between teeth. I end it up by using mouthwash to have that fresh mouth feeling you get after brushing.
