How Many Times Should You Brush Your Teeth Every day?

[raven1114]

I fully brush them twice a day but I run a brush over them with plain water about 4 or 5 times a day.

I always brush in the morning and before I go to bed.  Floss after I brush in the evening.  Or after I have had a meal when I feel food in my teeth  lol  Sometimes I brush my teeth after I eat  LOL

I believe you should brush every morning, every night and after every meal. But I would also say don't brush less than two times a day. More if possible.

I have always been raised to think brush after every meal, however, I have also been told that too much brushing is bad for your teeth and gums.  Your saliva is supposed to do a lot of the work for us, so, I rinse after every meal with water and then brush at least morning and night and if I am going out.

Me i would have to say.. I brush my teeth twice a day...
One in the morning & Once before bed...
I do however have a small mouthwash bottle u use throughout the day...
 For a quick clean..
I Usually do not brush right after i eat.. i usually put a mint in my mouth, gum, do a quick rinse with water or just do a quick clean with mouthwash...
Supposidly brushing after you eat moves acid around your teeth so i don't brush right after i eat.. But i use my other techniques for my brush breathe (:

Wow, that's good I mostly do it when I wake up and when I go to sleep.

Morning and evening is pretty much all I do.  I figure that takes care of most of my dail things.  Plus, with them saying you can brush away enamel if you brush after eating, I'd rather just avoid it incase that's the case so I can keep as much of my teeth as possible.

I'm not as vigilant as some of you. I only brush my teeth one a day, everyday for about 2 or 3 minutes. I don't floss very often and I never use mouthwash. However I must be doing something right because I did not get my first cavity until I was 27 years of age. It can't be just luck because my twin sister also got her first cavity at 27. I grew up on Colgate toothpaste and for the last 10 years I have used the most fantastic Orab B Vitality electric toothbrush.

Twice is plenty for brushing your teeth. Brushing them more will probably aggravate your gums!

There for awhile I was brushing many times a time, every time I ate anything. My teeth were so sensitive and in bad shape from no dental insurance and the only thing that seemed to give me any relief was the Sensodyne toothpaste. Now that I finally have dental insurance and have been able to slowly but surly get my teeth and gums back in shape I have went down to brushing twice a day.
