I usually do brushing two times a day, That is one in the early morning when i wake up and another one when i go to bed. But my friend said i should not do like that. It is not good for health. Is he true?

Here , we were taught in school to brush our teeth 3 times a day , after breakfast , lunch and dinner . I do it 4 times at the office . The fourth one is after my snack during our break time in the afternoon .

I brush my teeth after every meal; however, I let 30 minutes pass, before every brush.

@sunilparthan I read that one has to allow the mouth to get less acid before brushing the teeth.

It is all right to brush twice a day. Many friends brush 3 times a day. They do it after lunch in the office too. You just have to pay attention to the toothbrushes that you use. Make sure you change to a new one more frequently, and the new one must not cause bleeding gum.

Well, although my doctor said I have to brush my teeth at least two times a day, but I do it 4 times in a day to be sure of cavities.

I'm not a dentist (the person most qualified to answer such a question) but I've always understood the best practice to be twice a day—once in the morning and once before going to bed. People also brush as needed after eating strongly spiced food (i.e., garlic). When I worked full time, I used to rinse my mouth out with water after lunch and keep floss handy.

I brush mine 3 times a day. After every meal. I bring my toothbrush when I go to work so I can brush after lunch

It is good to brush two times a day.Especially brushing of teeth during night prevents dental carries..
