Am i doing enough for my teeth?!

The recommended amount of time is to brush 2 to 3 times daily.
If you have any queries about it, then I would talk to your dentist.
General check up with your dentist is useful every 6 months.
Check the strength of your toothbrush, toothpaste and mouthwash.

It is possible to OVER care for your teeth, be careful you are not
over using the mouthwash and that it is the right strength for you.
You also shouldn't brush straight after eating or drinking, such
as natural fruit and fruit juices; they have strong acid and brushing
straight afterwards can grind the acid into your teeth and cause
acid erosion and other problems for you.

Good tip is to drink some water before brushing your teeth, also
don't forget to brush your tongue!

Brushing your teeth twice per day is great, if you can do it three times per day it is even better. Flossing at least once daily is very important, and using mouthwash is also a good idea. Here are some more tips to keep your oral health in top shape:
-have regular dental cleanings and checkups
-ensure your toothbrush is soft bristled (check the package)
-brush gently, sweeping from the gumline to the biting surface, don't scrub at your gums; contrary to popular assumption, scrubbing your teeth does not clean them better, it just irritates the gums and may cause them to recede
-try using a tongue scraper as well to remove bacteria from your tongue
