I do brush my teeth 3 times a day. I usually do my brushing after meals or if I have time. Its kinda addictive when you get used to it especially if you're into close contact with people. I'm really conscious when it comes to hygiene.

You only brush your teeth once a day only? I have a story and it's true. My teacher told me when she got work at Hongkong her board mate as her why you brush your teeth thrice a day. It's hygiene she said. The friend ask again is that a ritual in the Philippines? No it's not, we talk to people and it's bad to have a bad breath. Personal Hygiene is important in our daily living. and they take a bath once a a day only. Me I take a bath twice a day or thrice also. lol

I eat a lot of sweets & still brush my teeth once a day in the morning, inspite of my dentist telling me to brush atleast twice daily. So, most of my teeth are now filled with silver and I often get tooth pai. In fact, my sister had recently some teeth treatment & now, she brushes her teeth thrice a day & also uses some mouth washes. Hope, her teeth remains good. I think my teeth are going to fully decay before I reach the age of 40, and I will have to live with artificial teeth. LOL!!!

I brush my teeth twice a day. After lunch and after dinner. I don´t brush my teeth when I get up in the morning because I don´t have so much time even to eat a good breakfast. I also buy a new toothbrush every three months to avoid cavities in my teeth (my dentist gave me this piece of advice).

mE too I don't brush my teeth before I eat my breakfast. But my aunt does it. I don't get it maybe because mouth is the most dirties part of the body because of food. The fact that you brush your teeth before eating breakfast the taste of the food may taste like a mint or toothpaste. hehehe...lol

I have never brushed my teeth three times a day. I do try to brush them twice a day. When I get up in the morning and then before I go to bed. If I don't do it twice I definitely do it once a day. Before I go to bed at night. I do rinse my mouth out after meals and snacks.

I usually brush mine twice a day. Once before I go to sleep and once when I wake up. Sometimes I forget to do it when I wake up though. I might brush them three times a day if I would remember, but I don't like the toothpaste taste left in my mouth. It makes everything I eat or drink taste bad.

I always see to it that I brush my teeth 3 times a day or after every meal. It is what I am used to doing ever since I was a kid. It was instilled with me by my parents and I still do it until now. The dentist is right as well as the TV commercials .
