I floss and brush religiously every night, have for many years. I had a cavity when I was young and the whole experience was terrible.
I still ended up with multiple cavities as an adult.
Beginning of the day and after my last meal of the day, plus before I take a nap if I do (they feel funny if I don't)
3 times a day (breakfast, launch and dinner).
My problem is that I am not sure that I clean them well enough and I don't know how to clean them (I use an electric toothbrush too).
3 times a day. Someone once mentioned to me years ago that I hadn't brushed my teeth, and from the onwards I make sure to brush 3 times a day, every day.
When I was a child my parents never enforced or made sure I brushed my teeth, so I never learned to do it regularly. Like, I brushed my teeth once or twice in couple months. Now as an adult I had to learn to do it, and establishing new routines is hard (especially because I’m ADHD af). I have a rule in my head that bare minimum is once a day, good days twice a day, but I have depression days when I just don’t do it.
It’s a miracle I haven’t gotten any cavities in my life, and even tho I keep better care of my teeth nowadays, I have had a chronic salivary gland infections for years and my gums have painful blisters now and then. Apparently I have some autoimmune disease going on in my mouth area.
Edit: typo
Twice a day (sometimes three). Once when I wake up, before breakfast/coffee (but might get pushed til after on occasion), and once before bed, every day. A third time might be in the middle of a day before heading out somewhere if my mouth feels like it needs it, especially if I've eaten something with garlic (etc).
Surely morning is after food and coffee?
Depends. I work from home. That said, technically, it's recommended to brush before because the stuff in toothpaste is meant to protect your teeth. But yes, if I were going out and about into the world, after. 😂
Usually twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening before bed. I usually floss once a day and use mouthwash and a tongue scraper occasionally.
Twice a day here, plus dentist every 6mos. I floss on and off (mostly off). Never had a cavity.
Brush teeth and tongue in the morning and night, floss each night.
Twice a day, first thing in the morning and when I am going out in the evening. I use mouthwash about three times a day after eating.
