Hi, I brush my teeth only once a day. But it is a good habbit to brush the teeth twice. Once after we awake up and the other just before we go to bed. Most of the dental professionals recommend brushing our teeth atleast twice every day. It is the best if we are able to rinse our mouth with plain water after every meal. But ocassionally I get to do so.
To keep our teeth and gums healthy we need to brush twice a day and floss atleast once. Brusing removes the coating of bacteria called plague that is spread above our teeth. So we need to brush daily. Brushing not only cleans the teeth but also strengthens the gums. Some people have bleeding problems with gums. So for a healthy gum we need to brush our teeth atleast twice a day.
It is very important that we brush our teeth after we have some sugary or starchy meal or snack. We atleast need to rinse after having such food. Sugary food are the root cause for tooth decay. So brushing twice a day help prevent plague, strengthens gums as well prevents tooth decay.
Happy myLotting.

Brushing teeth is very important because it prevents us from getting bad breath or tooth decay.It gives us self confidence also when we know that when we smile to anyone, we are sure that we have a white and clean teeth to show on them.
