Dentists usually tell us to brush our teeth 3 times daily. But I myself, due to tight schedule, can brush for 2 times a day only.

Wow! It's great that you try to make up for the toothbrushing you've missed.

yes i always brush my teeth every after meal so it's 3 times a day. i brush my teeth in the morning before i go to work, then after taking my lunch and of course before going to bed at night. it is necessary to brush our teeth every after meal to prevent plaque and tartar from forming and to prevent early tooth decay.

But is there any case that you had missed once your toothbrushing regimen?

I rarely brush more than once a day - guess I'm gonna be in trouble!

No, usually I brush only twice a day. I can never remember or find time to brush that third time every day. However, if I am sick and have vomited then sometimes I brush more than three times a day!

Hi, pebbels29. No. I don't brush my teeth 3 times in a day. I am lucky if I can brush it twice in a day. But, I do brush my teeth at least twice a day if possible. Sometimes, I may not even do that.

I try to brush my teeth as often as 3 times a day. But during busy days, I can only brush two times. But I make sure to look at a mirror before I go around after I have lunch. Of course that would be a funny thing if there is something stucked between my teeth. I am a person who loves to smile and show off my teeth so its really advisable for me to brush my teeth three times a day. Take care =)

Sometimes I do.Most of the time, like you its 2x a day for me as well. And I floss daily.I think that helps. Alot of people I know don't do that either. I think 2x a day is adequate if you do it right.

brushing 3 or 2 times a day is actually better than brushing your teeth after every time you eat especially if you eat more than 5 times a day... cos brushing too much can make your something(i don't remember what it is..) thinner then you'll have to get your teeth removed..
