How often should you brush?!


Question: How often should you brush!?
i'm 21!. i've not been to the dentist in 3 years (see me previous post: http://answers!.yahoo!.com/question/index;!.!.!. )
To be honest i don't really bother much with my teeth, brushing was never really a big thing in my house when growning up, no one made sure i did or told me to!.
So i got into the habbit of not brushing for days/weeks sometimes!.
I am trying to get into a routine, but it's hard to remember to do it every day!.
So how often should i be brushing, just now i'm managing to do it every night for about a minute, is this ok!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

wow!. not brushing for a week !?
you should brush about 2 times a day
preferably in the morning, after breakfast
and then at night after dinner
and you should brush for about 2-3 minutes!.

i highly suggest you start brushing daily
it can do really bad for your teethWww@Answer-Health@Com

um, deffinatley brush in the morning! you don't want to scare people off with some stanky breath and no just chewing gum will not cure it!

so once in the morning and once at night and if you have time after lunch or something stickyWww@Answer-Health@Com
