Well dentist says that you should only brush your teeth 2 times a day. But I used to brush my teeth as often as I eat foods most of the time. Also, I brush my teeth after every meals. :)

I brush my teeth only twice a day. Once I wake up and next before going to bed. It's enough.

I brush it twice per day during weekdays and I brush it three times per day during weekends. I wish I could brush it three times during weekdays all the time.

I brush my teeth twice a day , In the morning and at nights before I sleep . Some people say they brush their teeth after every meal but that is not good for their teeth , it best to wash your moth out after every meals .

I think you are the first person whom I have at least heard of who brushes his teeth after every meal. Don't you feel like getting tired doing it every time? Your patience and perseverance should be admired. Hats off to you for setting an example.

Well I see it the same way you. Probably the dentist recommended brushing your teeth AT LEAST twice a day. For me, however, are few. I every time I eat something, especially if it is sweet, right after I feel the need to go, take toothbrush and toothpaste and brush my teeth. Luckily for me, I have a pretty healthy teeth. Few indeed were dental caries that until now, I have had.

yes i do brush every day , but only once. To tell you the truth, when i was a child ,i used to hate to brush my teeth. I always used to be in hurry to eat and only eat. I used to think, who the hell kept this system of brushing teeth. why cant we eat with out brushing teeth? I fact i used to eat without brushing , sometimes when my parents doesn't notice. But if they notice it, full scoldings, you know. But thank God, i didn't do it for long, other wise, my teeth would have got spoiled.
