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.

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
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.
twice a day (at home) and sometimes after meals (outside) if i have time.
i have this toothbrush disguised as a lip gloss.
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!
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 brush twice a day most of the time. it feels great once youve done it (and flossing and stuff) so its something i look forward to each day.
i might forget to do it when i feel exhausted from a busy day and just fall asleep on the lounge haha
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.
Your supposed to do it twice a day, but like my showers i do it every time i get ready to go out even if its like 5pm or 10pm. my average would be twice a day but sometimes only once. and if my mouth feels sticky.
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.
usually twice a day, occasionally i will spend the night somewhere and it will end up being once but that's super rare. i will never understand how some people manage to brush after every meal haha i never carry a toothbrush with me lol
I voted B. In the morning and at night and sometimes (on a rare occasion) during the day if they feel gross.
Twice a day, and I still have teeth problems. A friend of mine only brushes once a day and she never has caries... The world is not fair like that =( Dental care is so fucking expensive!
After every meal and also as soon as I wake up and before going to bed.
Morning and night. And if I'm going out with friends or on a date I'll do it before that too.
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.
At the very least after every meal. but sometimes I will just brush if I have something to drink or for some reason I need to get rid of the yuck feeling in my mouth.
Twice a day, when i wake up and when going to sleep
2 to three times a day... Too much brushing isbad for the teeth
I usually brush my teeth twice a day, but occasionally I am so exhausted that I skip it at night. I can't skip the morning. It just feels gross.
