How often do you brush your teeth?

[TigerRoseBear]

I brush them after eating breakfast and right before I go to bed. What about you guys?

A few times a week

Once a day

Twice a day

Three times a day (wow, keener :P)

I have braces...so I make sure to take good care of my teeth

[TigerRoseBear]

Holy sh*t hahaha... that's intense :P

[KarKingJack]

LOL

[FierceMegan]

I have braces too, but sheesh you're an overachiever. *bowing* (to greatness)

[peace-love-couture]

lol

Yeah...well, I don't want my teeth to rot and I want my teeth to move quickly. I have 4 gaps cause of teeth that were extracted...so, smiling? yeah, not so much atm

[TigerRoseBear]

Oh damn... why were they extracted?

[peace-love-couture]

I won't have to have my wisdom teeth extracted, instead, so instead, they extracted the teeth in front of the molars...but it's been like 3 months and I still have big gaps

[TigerRoseBear]

Oh okay. Wait, so you have braces to get rid of those gaps? Why do you say you "still" have the gaps? There's a way of getting rid of them?

[peace-love-couture]

My wisdom teeth were beginning to lay flat, meaning, like millions of other people with them, they begin to uh...shift and a shift can cause crooked teeth. So, because I do(did) have extra teeth, they decided to remove the extra teeth. There are now 4 gaps.

The gaps will close once the rest of the teeth have shifted, but unfortunately, they haven't shifted much, so the gaps are still there

[TigerRoseBear]

Oh, okay. Is it really visible?

[peace-love-couture]

If I smile and you really pay attention to my smile it is. if you don't, then not really. Depends on who you ask and whether you're observant or not

[TigerRoseBear]

Oh okay. So it doesn't suck too much, then... right?

[peace-love-couture]

I just don't like it :P

[TigerRoseBear]

Haha alright.

[TigerRoseBear]

Awesome profile picture :D :D :D!

[peace-love-couture]

thanks:)

[TigerRoseBear]

I seriously used to love those so much, lol...

[peace-love-couture]

Me too! They were yummy and super sour

[TigerRoseBear]

Lol yeah :D

[cun7n1nja]

Twice, usually. At least once though. I always brush in the morning, or early in the day before I go anywhere. And usually when I go to bed, but sometimes I get lazy or forget, lol.

[TheGodEmperorLeto]

bad to brush right after a meal. The acid of the food (yes, pretty much all food has some acid in it) weakens the natural barrier and brushing your teeth after makes it so more bacteria can get in. By the way, brushing your gums is also better for you. And floss is a lot better than brushing. This is educational stuff here -_q

[TigerRoseBear]

Wait, so you'd be better off flossing but not brushing than brushing but not flossing?

[TheGodEmperorLeto]

Yep, but you're better off brushing before meals (or enough time after a meal for your teeth's natural barrier to heal from the acid) and better off brushing your gums more so. Here's a funny article on it as well as other things

[TheGodEmperorLeto]

and here's the actual articles/stuff on it

[TigerRoseBear]

Haha okay thanks. I'll do that :)

And best answer because I think your monocle looks pretty good on you.

[TheGodEmperorLeto]

I wish I could show off my top hat too -_q only the finest gentleman wears both.

[TigerRoseBear]

Lol. And ha ha I'm loving the cracked article.

[TheGodEmperorLeto]

All cracked articles are awesome and actually somewhat factual.

[TigerRoseBear]

Haha nice. I might start going on it then.

[Lupianwolf]

Only once in the morning, but my teeth aren't bad

They're straight, never had a filling and are white so I don't see much use doing it twice

[TigerRoseBear]

Oh okay. But I think there are some health risks that come with not brushing your teeth regularly. Like, higher risk of heart attack and stuff...

[Lupianwolf]

What? How does brushing affect that?

[TigerRoseBear]

Something like the plaque goes into your body and can collect as cholesterol... something like that...

[Lupianwolf]

Still I have healthy teeth, they're white than people I know who brush twice a day

So I don't think I have as much plaque as them

And besides your teeth would need to be 'really bad' along with other factors to get heart problems

[TigerRoseBear]

Haha okay.

Well, you never know. Everyone's bodies are different.

[secondbestkiller]

Twice a day generally, after my shower (which I take when I wake up) and before bed. But a lot of times I'll do it more often, like before I go out (if I don't think my breath is so fresh) or if I wanna get a weird taste out of my mouth, lol.

[Tentacle_Therapist]

Before bed and BEFORE breakfast. I always thought it'd be better to brush after breakfast, but apparently that's not so great for your teeth, or something. D:

[TigerRoseBear]

Really? Why isn't it good for your teeth?

[Tentacle_Therapist]

"dentists are now recommending that people, especially small people between the ages of five and 10, not brush their teeth after every meal. The reason is that the acidity in food and beverages causes tooth enamel to soften, and brushing right after eating an acidic meal strips enamel from the teeth, leaving them vulnerable to cavities. Leaving a little food behind actually doesn't cause as much damage as your toothbrush does as it scrubs the natural protective layer off the teeth."

[TigerRoseBear]

WOW! Does it give a time limit? Like, maybe 20 minutes after eating it's okay to brush your teeth?

[Tentacle_Therapist]

No D;

[TigerRoseBear]

Hmm. Oh well haha, I'll try brushing before eating and see how it goes :). Thanks for the advice!

[WoIIie]

Once a week. It gives some extra flavor when we're making out.

[TigerRoseBear]

LOL

[FierceMegan]

ahahaahhahahahaa, ewwwwww

[TrickyNickn]

At least 2-3 times a day. I brush them in the morning, before going to bed, and sometimes after lunch if I'm home at that time.

[Lockenkopf]

After breakfast, before bed and sometimes before work (I work in the evening) or before I go out.

So 2-3 times a day.

[mike5150]

Twice a day. Once in the morning before I go out for the day and then again before I go to bed.

[Anonymous]

twice a day, sometimes more.

after my shower, before I go to bed, and if a brush is handy after lunch

[SmartArst]

after every meal nobody wants to smell nasty food on peoples breath

[TigerRoseBear]

Nobody DOES smell nasty food on my breath even after I've eaten lunch.

How do you manage brushing your teeth after every meal? Do you bring a toothbrush wherever you go?

[SmartArst]

yes

[TigerRoseBear]

Shit son.

[FierceMegan]

Once a day :D It should be twice :(

[TigerRoseBear]

Haha still that's not too bad :)

[FierceMegan]

At least it is before breakfast! :D I stay up so late that I just fall asleep, I have no bedtime. :P

[TigerRoseBear]

Hahaha true. And yeah I stay up really late too. Most days I stay up so late that I'd get in a looot of trouble if my parents knew I was awake, and I have to brush my teeth really quietly :P so they won't wake up.

[FierceMegan]

Hahaha, well I don't have parent issues I am 23, soon to be 24

[TigerRoseBear]

Luckyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy :P

[SmartArst]

you should be doing it 5 times a day and using mouth was and floss

[FierceMegan]

Why? To wear off my natural enamel.

[SmartArst]

You would have to be brushing pretty hard to wear your enamel off. You will understand how serious this is when you get gingivitis

[FierceMegan]

Me dentist said, I have great teeth! :P

[FierceMegan]

and GUMS!

[SmartArst]

have you ever had braces?

[FierceMegan]

I have braces now.

[SmartArst]

Yeah you definitly need to brush more than once a day. Food caught in braces look nasty. Then again when you have braces the ortho's usualy polish your teeth once a month.

[FierceMegan]

Thanks for the concern.

[TigerRoseBear]

LOL

AND HOLY SHIT FIERCEMEGAN YOUR PROFILE PICTURE IS F***ING AWESOME DONT ANSWER ANY MORE QUESTIONS JUST KEEP YOUR XPER AT 6666 :D
