What's your dental hygiene routine?

[Anonymous]

i have a friend who's a tooth freak and brushes & flosses after every meal, before going to bed and after waking up. and at the dentist they tell you something similar. is that really what everyone is going?

how often do you brush, floss, and use mouth wash?

I am a dental hygienist and can tell you that most people do not do the flossing thing although I would say most people do brush twice a day but for healthy teeth and gums you really do need to do both brushing at least 2 times a day and flossing. For those that don't some are lucky and don't have problems while some people do everything they should and still have issues it really has a lot to do with what kind of bacteria lives in your mouth.

I brush and floss my teeth when I wake up in the morning.

Then I brush and floss my teeth sometime in the afternoon.

Then I brush and floss my teeth before going to bed.

I used to use ACT mouthwash once, nightly, but it made my teeth sensitive so I stopped.

I don't do anything to 'em, they're fine. They taste fine, they look fine. I had some problems with them but that's because of how they were growing, nothing to do with plaque. Its all propaganda, man, its a circle of fear instilled by brilliant marketing. Brilliant marketing! Hahaha.

Brush once or twice a week and I don't do anything else and yes my teeth are fine.. check up every 6 months.

i brush 2-3 times a day and follow with mouthwash. never flossed in my life, maybe I'll die younger because of that.

I brush in the morning, at night I floss then brush. If I have mouthwash I use it in the mornings
