How many times do you brush your teeth daily?

[PUURO]

I brush my teeth about two times each day.
But it will be more, because according me, a self made proclaimed "expert in brushing area" experience, we must also brushing our teeth after taking a meal or after eating something...It will help a lot in reducing mouth problems.
Especially for anyone who have had problems before

I brush my teeth about once every 3 or 4 weeks. JUST KIDDING lol. I brush them 3 or more times per day. In the morning to get the “sleep” out of my mouth, after each meal and anytime I have a snack that has sugar in it. I then brush them before I go to bed at night. I just can’t handle the icky taste of a dirty mouth, but then again people laugh at me because I am just as finicky about my hands. I wash them dozens of times per day, after handling money, using utensils, heck even after putting a rented movie in the DVD player. Anytime my hands touch something that a lot of other people have touched.

Being a bit lazy, I often brush only once in a day. I try to brush twice but end up doing other tasks and when it becomes too late, I decide to go to sleep with germs playing hide and seek in my mouth. I hope my teeth remains with me for another 40 years or so. I would seriously advice others to brush twice in a day!

LOL, after reading your post I swear we could be twins; you described "ME" to a 'T' with "YOUR" words. Like you, I too brush regularily (morning and night) and, in addition to those times, I also brush after any snacks/meals (most especially sweetened items) I may consume throughout the day. I'm very finicky when it comes to hygiene; I can't stand anything on my teeth (that shouldn't be there) nor on my hands or body. Of course, along with brushing I also floss my teeth and (here we go)....brush my tongue each and everytime I'm working on the rest of my mouth. Super picky is what I am! As for my hands, yep, I'm picky in that area as well. Yuk, the thought of not washing my hands after touching something just creeps me right out so, anytime I touch something (especially things in public places), I am right there over the sink soaping up and scrubbing the germs off. I'm not a germ-a-phobe but, evenso, that's no excuse for me not to do my best to keep those germs at bay.

I brush my teeth about once every 3 or 4 weeks.

LOL...gross!!! You actually had me going there at first.

I brush 3 times a day; when I wake up, after lunch and then before I go to bed. But I usually eat something that gives an uncomfortable feeling with my mouth, so add another 2

Well, usually I brush my teeth twice daily, first in the morning and second time after having dinner at night. This keeps my mouth free from germs and bacterias and also from foul smell coming out of the mouth.

Doctors recommend brushing your teeth after every meal but the truth is that, brushing your teeth three times a day isn't the best for you because the enamel wears away any time we brush our teeth. In other words, the more you brush your teeth, the more the enamel wears away leaving your teeth with numerous breakages

I brush my teeth at least twice a day. Before going to bed and after bed. However, I make sure I rinse my mouth after every meal to get rid of germs and bacteria. It is good to brush your at least two times a day

I brush mine twice a day too, occasionally more often if I eat something particularly spicy/stringy or irritating. I use a normal hand toothbrush to begin with and an inter-dentine brush to get all the little bits between my teeth. It's important to get those little bits too, otherwise you can end up with gum problems later on.

I brush my teeth 1 - 2 times daily, but i cleans my tongue for about 5 times.

But think that brushing teeth can't clean teeth, it can only stop teeths getting dirty.

[onlinefarhan]

The best practice to clean the teeth is twice. When you wake up at morning and before going to bed. Normally I brush my teeth once in a day at morning time, but I must clean my mouth with water after having any food.

[kgdhin]

to be honest ,i brush my teeth only once per day,sometime rarely i brush twice. but i will not forget to brush by teeth even once....your ques is very much important ,it may lead to many germs on teeth ,and one day or the other our teeth would get decayed. so beware to brush daily.....

[dyanaangel]

I brush my teeth twice a day. Morning and at night. It is very much important to brush our teeth twice a day, bacteria in the mouth will risk for heart attack also. So we have to keep our mouth clean.

[sesilak]

how many times am i supposed to brush in a day. i think laziness makes me brush once a day but occasionally i have gum ache, is that the cause?
how do u floss?

I learned It is scientifically wrong to brush your teeth more than 3 times a day because it wears out the enamel. It is good to brush your teeth twice a day and that is enough to keep your teeth and mouth fresh and healthy. Instead of brushing more than twice you could floss at regular intervals and save your enamel

Yah I HATE BRUSHING MY TEETH CAUSE IT HURTS MY GUM.......I THINK ITS GINGIVITAS..IF THAT'S HOW YOU SPELL IT..I'M ONLY 3??

[kennymevrick]

Well the first thing that I do in the morning after I have woken up is to go to brush my teeth. After that I brush my teeth after having had my lunch and before going to bed at night. I think that brushing your teeth is quite important if you don't want to suffer from toothache and other problem attached to teeth.

Hi,

I agree with you .From my view 7-8 hours sleep is necessary to keep the mind charged for the whole day and to remain refresh

Thanks!

floss and rinse after every meal but I brush just twice a day in the morning and at night

[happyfrancis]

well i usually brush my teeth thrice a day normally after meals. I usually do this because i could still taste the food that i ate after a a few hours after the actual meal. There are cases where in i have to brush my teeth after i ate ice cream because it seems to irritate my teeth and its quite painful. have you ever had tooth aches after eating ice cram?

brushing your teeth more than twice a day is not good because it cause erosion of the enamel. When you eat and acidic food or drink such as fruit juice, you should not brush your teeth just after eating. You should allow atleast an hour or two for the enamel to remineralize before brushing if you don't want holes in your teeth.

I brush my teeth 6 times in a day because of my dental carries. I have 5 dental carries. I'm afraid to go to dentist i'm afraid to loss all my teeth either!

[chantale]

I brush my teeth twice a day for 2 minutes, my teeth are very important to me and I think it is so important to have good hygiene all the time.

once a day. at times none.

[Doug]

Wanted to ask how many times do you brush your teeth daily?

NONE!!!!!!! I take them out and give them a bath every evening and then go to bed.

I brush twice a day still my teeth are golden brown.

[Jennifer.lara]

I brush twice in a day.

I brush my teeth and clean my tongue once a day (in the morning when i wake up). But i noticed that each morning i have a thin white coat on my tongue which comes off quite easily when i brush. Now i have a fear if my white tongue is cos i dont brush often enough or if i have oral candidiasis or something
