How often do you brush your teeth?!

Question: do you brush twice a day, three times a day, gargle with listerine or something, do you not brush at all? do you just chew gum instead? do you eat an apple in the morning? do you floss? do you just get the toothpaste, rub it on your teeth with your fingers and gargle that?

I have a real "system" about this ... I brush after I've had anything to eat. So, if I eat 5 times a day (including snacks), then I brush afterward, using a very powerful power-brush. I also floss and use a water irrigator (water jet) to remove as much trapped food as possible, and I use a good mouthwash. This might sound excessive, but trips to the periodontist are very expensive, and taking expert care of the teeth and gums means no surgery later on.

Thanks for the best answer award. Yes, I do carry a toothbrush, small tube of toothpaste and dental floss with me in my knapsack, so if I'm at a restaurant and won't be returning home soon, I brush & floss in the washroom. Report It
