How often do you brush your teeth? (lemmyunchained.net)

How often do you brush your teeth? Sure, we’ve all been told the ‘twice-a-day’ , but how many of us strictly follow it?

Are there any cultures out there with alternative practices that still maintain good oral health?

I’m intrigued to hear your brushing habits, thoughts on this, and any interesting findings you’ve stumbled upon.

Twice a day (sometimes three). Once when I wake up, before breakfast/coffee (but might get pushed til after on occasion), and once before bed, every day. A third time might be in the middle of a day before heading out somewhere if my mouth feels like it needs it, especially if I've eaten something with garlic (etc).

Surely morning is after food and coffee?

Depends. I work from home. That said, technically, it's recommended to brush before because the stuff in toothpaste is meant to protect your teeth. But yes, if I were going out and about into the world, after. 😂
