I brush at least 3 times a day. I keep a toothbrush by my kitchen sink and one in the bathroom so I can brush frequently. I also floss at least once a day and keep special tiny brushes you can pass between your teeth at my desk so that I don't get plaque and tartar. I have receding gums because I wasn't good about flossing and I don't want them to get any worse!

I'm glad I could inform you. Plaque turns to hard tartar and forces the gums away from the teeth. That's why it's so important to floss daily and keep the plaque off your teeth!

I brush my teeth twice a day, sometimes more if my mouth feels unclean or I have eaten something smelly.
My children clean twice a day, morning and night but very often ask if they can clean them again during the day again depending on what they have been eating

Have to say that I disagree and you are very lucky not to have any problems with your teeth. Bacteria build up on your teeth after every single meal and drink that you consume. I hope your oral health continues to be good but I do advise you try to brush at least every day. It only takes a few minutes to do after all.

yes thats true but if you eat crunchy fruit ie apples etc etc they help to naturally clean your teeth to a certain extent
it also depends whether or not you are in a high fluoride area also,there are many factors that affect your oral health not just cleaning 3 times a day.

I usually brushed my teeth 3 times per day.
2 every I am shower and one before going to bed, I want my teeth be strong and health. I fear going to dentist (I have trauma about it). I also gargle with Listerine mouthwash.

I brush my teeth every morning, no matter what! You have to get rid of the scum and morning breath!! As for how many times I brush after that, it all depends. I try to brush after I eat dinner (as long as I'm at home.) It helps me not snack for the rest of the evening. It's also good for my teeth too. I sometimes brush in the middle of the day too. It really just all depends on how my mouth is feeling.

Hi, UK_Shree! It's funny you brought up this kind of topic, but I agree with you. A lot of people don't bother to brush their teeth. They have a lot of reasons, or should we say 'excuses' for not ding so. I've heard from someone that he flosses or gargles mouthwash anyways so why bother brushing. Well, flossing or using mouthwash are so different from brushing, and I don't think they're enough. Personally, I brush more than twice a day. I made it a habit to do so, and I thank my parents for it because they trained us to brush every after meal. It also says something about your oral hygiene. ^_^

I brush my teeth at least 3 times a day. Once right when I get up, then again after I shower and then at night before bed. Once in awhile I brush during the day depending on what I eat.

I always brush my teeth once a day.It is my habit and also i think my teeth and my body are healthy.Some scientist ever said we should brush our teeth after every meal everyday.Also original inhabitant in tropicalzonerainforest never brush their teeth but they are still so healthy.And how should we do?
So in my opinion,how many times we shoud brush our teeth everyday is decided by our habit.Every body has her or his own selection...

We've always been told (at least here), even in toothpaste commercials, to brush three times a day. I guess for some people that is impractical. But I brush three times a day. If I can't, and only brush twice a day, I make sure to use mouthwash twice a day instead of just once a day, like I usually do. Mouthwash is a must for me. Kill any extra germs and all.
