How often do you brush your teeth each day?

Question

Honestly, how often do you brush your teeth? Lately I've been forgetting to brush my teeth at night and want to know how I compare to others out there.

I brush once a day. Oftentimes, on the occasions that I do brush my teeth at night, I end up eating something afterwards, anyway, which defeats the purpose.

Because I have braces and everything I eat gets stuck in them, I regularly rinse my mouth with water throughout the day, and scrub my teeth with a miniature toothbrush I carry around for the stubborn food particles (I don't use toothpaste when doing so, though, so I don't count that as brushing).

As for your question in the update section, I have good teeth. My orthodontist says my teeth are in great condition. They're a good enough shade of white.

It's anywhere between 1-4 times a day for me, haha. I always brush my teeth right after waking up. Sometimes I fall asleep in my clothes and forget to brush them before bed, but I usually do before bed, as well. Sometimes I brush them after lunch, and I always brush after eating anything sweet. So it's sort of when I remember to, but also sort of randomly, and not particularly constant.

I've learned just recently (past year or two) that the most important time to brush your teeth is at night. both natural and artificial sugars have lactic acids in them. this breakdown the enamel in teeth and causes decay and cavities. During the day you are producing saliva, drinking water and other things to help the lactic acid break up and be swallowed however at night it really negatively affects your teeth.

so dentist recommend that if you only brush once a day, do it at night. your teeth are then clean in the morning but people brush or gargle mouthwash just to freshen your breath

I'd say twice on average. Once before I leave in the morning, and once before bed. Maybe a third will happen in certain circumstances, if I'm going out at night or something.

Eiffelgirl21 · Answer

I try to brush 2x a day. But, most of the time it only is once a day haha. And, noooo my teeth are really nice. Straight & White =)

I think it is genetics though because it runs in my family..and for some reason...we also get a 4th set of front teeth lol I guess I am a weirdo! haha

Pingju · Answer

I brush my teeth twice a day, once in the morning and once before bedtime.I gargle after every meal and floss every night.I also carry a small bottle of mouthwash with me wherever I go just in case I need to freshen my breath after eating certain food like garlic as I don't want to give the food smell to the people around me.

Anonymous · Answer

I brush twice a day mostly, and try to always do that. But I am so lazy in the morning, or I run late, or it's late at night and I've just come home from a party... nevertheless I often only brush once a day. But I brush really thoroughly, and I've never had any cavities!

XNicholeMariex3 · Answer

I brush once a day, I KNOW I should brush twice, but I always make it a habit to brush at night before I go to bed. I do not have bad teeth, I have never in my life had a cavity and I pray that I never do.

I try to brush my teeth twice a day but sometimes I only manage to do so once a day (usually nighttime). If I get stressed out though, I brush more often. So there are some days where I brush 4+ times.

I need to do it 4 times a day, but sometimes I forget. I need two caps, but can't afford them. I have to brush them and use mouthwash all the time or they really start to hurt, very badly.

JustDoingMe · Answer

I brush my teeth once a day, always have since I can remember. My teeth are white and my dentist thinks I brush twice a day, he always tells me I've been taking great care of my teeth. I never mention I only brush once. Because I know my teeth are clean and apparently my dentist and orthodontist believe so. It's really just a personal preference. If I had a spouse, is probably brush my teeth again at night for them but as of now, I brush in the morning only.

Twice a day actually did you know that brushing your teeth too much is bad for you? Our body needs Fluorine, but too much is unhealthy.
