this might sound like a stupid question, but i was just wondering, how many times a day do you brush you teeth?
for me, i brush my teeth twice a day. once in the morning and once at night. i brush in the morning because i guess that's what i've always been taught by my parents to do. also, it's good to have fresh breath in the morning heh.
i brush at night because i feel that after eating everything throughout the day, it's only right to clean your teeth before you sleep.
i know a friend who brushes after every meal or after eating anything for that matter. my dad actually told me that it is not good to do so because your teeth will become more sensitive
how about you?

I try to brush my teeth twice a day. Sometimes I only brush once a day if I am lazy but I try to do twice. I brush when I wake up in the morning but always brush right before bed. I usually floss every time I brush because I have tight teeth and food gets stuck easily. I floss and then brush. As for your friend, some people are genetically prone to not get cavities. Happy myLotting.

I brush my teeth atleast 4 times a day. I brush when I wake up and before taking a bath. I also brush my teeth after every meal.

just wondering, aren't you afraid that your teeth might be sensitive due to brushing too often? apparently, our teeth are coated with a layer of enamel which protects our teeth. and if you brush incorrectly or too often, you wear down this layer of enamel. this causes your teeth to be sensitive. when this happens, eating ice cream or drinking hot drinks can cause your teeth to hurt.
just wondering what you think about this?

Hello there jedimind.
I brush my teeth at least thrice a day, but brushes more than that when really needed. I always brush after breakfast, after lunch and before I sleep at night.
Good day!

When I actually remember to brush *cough*. . .I brush twice a day. But on a day where I only eat like one really big meal in the day and don't eatanything at all afterwards, I brush only like once. I tend to forget sometimes though when I know I'm going to be staying at home all day, and its just one of those daily hassles that I must remind myself to do. .haha.

I brush my teeth two times a day.
My kid wants to brush twenty four hours a day as it is a beautiful pastime for her.
