How many times do you brush your teeth a day?

Though most say it's proper to brush the teeth twice or thrice a day, I only brush once daily, before going to bed. I tried brushing more than once but I would get toothaches. I guess my teeth are sensitive with too much brushing. Even though I only brush once daily, I make sure I do it properly. That's when I stay at home all day by the way. But if I go to work, I brush before leaving home as well.

I brush my teeth anytime I eat something, I know it's good for my teeth. Brushing your teeth will probably never be enough since the toothbrush does not clean our mouth 100% so it's always good to use also something else togheter after brushing our teeth

about 3 times. sometimes more. you shouldn't brush your teeth soon after eating. leave it at least an hour. when you eat, the level of acidity in your mouth rises, so scrubbing your teeth after eating is like scrubbing them with acid.

Many times for me too, like the rest of the people.. around 2-3 times per day. But whenever I want to go out, I need to brush my teeth too, even though I have already taken a shower prior and brushed my teeth. I feel like so fresh every time my teeth are cleaned like that..

I prefer to brush my teeth 3 times a day,i even floss them every day,brushing is not enough to achieve cleanliness of teeth, flossing is also advisable to cleans in between teeth that brush couldn't reached.So i brush my teeth every after meal or any food i intake which i know can cause tooth decay .Its also an advice from expert that we should visit our dentist twice a year to prevent and have our teeth check by an expert.We should take good care of our teeth and gums to have that healthy and lovely smile. Happy myLotting!

Actually what i think is brushing your teeth twice or thrice is fine. But also check out those tooth brushes whichh you are using too, Because changing your toothbrush in about four to five months is important. As if the bristles of your brush having some problem, So this really can provide some real damage. I brush twice a day somtimes thrice too:). Hope this helps...........

normally i brush my teeth three times a day and that's every after meal. but sometimes whenever i eat too much of those junk foods, i brush my teeth as well. no wonder i still have a complete set of tooth

I brush my teeth twice a day. I'm sure brushing after every meal and before bed is the best thing to do. I guess I am too lazy to do that, though. I wonder if it is possible to brush your teeth too often? I think it is very important to take care of your teeth though, because an unhealthy mouth can lead to other diseases.

three times a day is recommended. dentist used to tell me not to brush too much as theres also a side effect for too much fluoride. if you do then just use small amount. i see those who brush with flouride almost covering the whole brush, its alright if we did it three times a day only. they recommend to use dental floss instead as it can clean the teeth completely.

I only brush my teeth twice a day. I usually only use chewing gum after my lunch. I'm not sure who is right and how many times per day you should brush your teeth. I believe you should o it every time you feel you need it, but too many times a day may cause additional problems. Like your teeth may become more sensitive or your gums may be damaged.

I brush two times a day. Once in the morning and then a night after showered or bathed. I think it's more healthy to do three but I am so busy I forget. :|

I just brush my teeth once a day but I clean it very well. I am really proud that till date other than my wisdom tooth which had to be extracted I have to say I have never had any tooth complans. So that really shows that I do take care of my teeth quite well.

Once or none. And of course this is terrible. My dad almost has to get a new(fake though close to real and functional, not gold or filling) tooth and that costs about 12 thousand dollars in america for a good one. So I probably will brush my teeth more, but I have a medical prescribed Crest tube with a load of fluorides and much much more, things and I use Listerine mouth wash. That stuff burns hard but eliminates almost all plaque and bacteria in your mouth. I sometimes alos use a fluoride rinse. I apoligize for commenting twice, I did not realize I left this window open and thought my comment did not get through.

I brush 3-4 times a day and I floss every day or every other day - I'm a little obsessed with keeping my teeth healthy. :)I don't know if you can ever brush too much, I hope you can't!

if you are a non-vegeterian or eats lots of sweet stuffs, then i think it is a must that you brush your teeth after every meal. others can do with twice a day. brushing before going to bed is advisable.

I prefer brushing my teeth twice. Once,early in the morning after waking up from sleep,and once before going to bed. I have many people brushing the teeth after they wake up from sleep and it touches even four times a day. It acts as a mouth refresher.I think,its good brush twice.

I am also brushing my teeth three times in a day. I brush early in the morning, after lunch and before going to bed. I think this is the most appropriate way of brushing our teeth. But, i had known a friend, who brushed her teeth almost every time, whenever she had ate anything. For me, it's quite difficult if we are to brush our teeth every time after we had ate something.

Two times a day..... morning and before going to sleep........

I brush three times a day too. Once in the morning, after lunch and than again before I go to bed. Back in the days before I became a stay at home mother I kept a toothbrush and toothpaste in my handbag so I could brush at work too. I have always made a huge effort to look after my teeth and it has paid off so far. At the ripe old age of 31 I have never had anything done to my teeth at all, no fillings...nothing and I'm very proud of that.

Brushing will scrape too much of your enamel off and so I do not brush very much.
