Twice a day, plus a small metal tongue scraper and flossing. I used to use mouthwash until I found tongue scrapers worked much better.
I were supposed to do tree times a day, but i end up 2 every day. I also bathe every day
3 times a day.
I brush after each meal, floss after lunch, and use a waterpik after dinner before brushing.
Probably excessive, but it’s less than 15 minutes a day total to keep my teeth happy.
Thats absolutely bizarre to me. Do you travel at all? How does that work?
I brush twice a day. I had a kind of gross moment that forced the habit. One day I looked up microscopic pictures of teeth. Normal teeth kind of look like a cool lattice structure under a microscope. Non-brushed teeth... the bacteria looked SO disgusting. I do not want that in my mouth...
When I'm working, ever morning and most nights, when I'm off, hopefully once a day if I'm lucky. It's easier to just wallow.
Twice: after waking up,before bed. Floss, tongue cleaner , mouth wash is a part of the ritual. On a related note : can recommend electronic tooth brush.
The amount of individuals here who brush post breakfast or not at all in the morning is alarming ! Of course, mental health can affect the schedule but that's a different conversation and is understandable.
The rest, how is your dentist not harassing about your oral hygiene?
Easy fix. Don’t see a dentist. Many won’t, unless they have a problem.
Twice a day, and if I need to freshen up.
I have a pattern which really works for me where I wake up, brush my night guard and brush my teeth with no toothpaste and then eat breakfast. That way I don't have the horrible mint toothpaste / orange juice clash I'm sure many of you are familiar with.
Then at night I floss and brush with toothpaste, and put in the night guard.
I used to make myself floss only every other day (like if I didn't floss last night I MUST floss tonight), which I highly recommend rather than sporadic or no flossing. But I recently upped my game to "every night except special occasions".
pretty sure brazilians brush 3 times a day.
i just brush twice a day and floss + mouthwash at night on top.
Yeah I noticed that a lot of Latin Americans will brush their teeth after lunch (which I think is pretty commendable). I liked that, especially nice when you have meetings after lunch.
Where I’m from (not LATAM) - twice a day. Floss at night because I still wear my retainers and want to make sure teeth are clean clean before putting them on
Every time I take out my Invisalign :( so 5-10 times a day.
2-3 times a day, depends
If I'm at work, I also brush after lunch
If I'm home, I just casually skip it because yeah fuck it
Twice a day: After breakfast and before going to bed.
The latter one goes with mouthwash, and at least once a week some floss. Has worked for me quite well. You might need some more depending on your genes, but it seems to be the golden middle I found for myself (and others who ask me), and even the dentist has yet to tell me to change anything in that routine.
Twice a day, but I occasionally miss the one at night after a night out. Still haven't had any cavities!
Had cavities with no local anesthesia in Asia when I was younger so I am now religiously brushing twice a day and flossing at least once a day and visit the dentist every 6 months.
I got a dentist that would give me the option to not use a local for much of the teeth work he did. I actually prefer it, need to find another one that will do the same since the first guy retired.
