How often do you brush your teeth? Sure, we’ve all been told the ‘twice-a-day’ , but how many of us strictly follow it?

Are there any cultures out there with alternative practices that still maintain good oral health?

I’m intrigued to hear your brushing habits, thoughts on this, and any interesting findings you’ve stumbled upon.

When I wake up and before bed

Same, but I've combined my teeth brushing with showering. It gives you a nice excuse to zone out in the shower for just a bit longer.

Pro tip: if you call zoning out "meditating" (because that's what it is) it makes you feel more put-together and successful. Congrats on your practice of hydrotherapy meditation.

I just wander about the house brushing my teeth, that way I’m not stuck just standing in the bathroom

How do you keep from making a mess? I look like I have an advanced case of rabies when I brush mine.

With skill and a little flair x

Nah idk, I can’t do it for long ofc cause toothpaste has that habit of becoming a little too minty and then a little painful but it’s only messy if I’m trying to have a conversation mid brush.

Which btw, happens, if I’m walking about brushing my teeth, chances are I’ll be attempting to respond to people lmao
