I rarely brush, except to go out.

You guys?

Poll coming...

Twice a day, three if it's a special occasion. Once if I decided to sleep instead of getting ready for school in the mornings. Which is very rare, but not completely unheard of.

Perhaps this is why you failed at chicks?

I brush two times a day, sometimes three if I think I need it. I also floss every night, rinse with that Extreme Listerine stuff twice a day and use a whitening Listerine solution every morning.

I got in a habit of brushing twice a day a few months ago. Then again, I wasn't so stressed out then... Now, I brush my teeth, oh, maybe three times a month.

Maybe. Then again, I drink a lot of water during the day, and I wash my mouth out in the shower (basically, it's just getting water in my mouth and swishing it around, though this town's tap water is quite mineral-rich).

I brush mine every day. Multiple times depending on the situation.

I try to every day, but sometimes I skip it on a busy day.

At least once a day, most times twice. My oral hygeine may not be the best, but if it gets late in the day and I realize I haven't brushed my teeth yet I suddenly feel like my teeth have grown fur. Blaaaaaaarg!
Unfortunately I rarely floss. That string dragging between my teeth has kind of a fingernails on chalkboard effect on me. The dentist will have to continue complaining.

The same, except I'll sometimes skip at night, never morning, if it's real late and I want to just go to sleep. I don't floss much though as I can never get the string between by backteeth, even the dentists has trouble geting it in there and they have much beter leverage than me for shoving it in.

Oh, ok. :)

And the phones? they up yet?

Oh, ok. :)

And the phones? they up yet?I have a prepaid cell right now- with a current grand total of three minutes left on it. It's supposed to be for emergency use only.:rolleyes:

Two-three times a day. My teeth seem to attract cavities like magnets, so I brush and floss regularly to drive them away.

damn. :(

Did the idiot phone line guys find your house yet?

I do it at least twice a day, often three times a day. Sometimes I just get this random urge to brush, and I do. It's really strange.

Two-three times a day. My teeth seem to attract cavities like magnets, so I brush and floss regularly to drive them away.I had my first cavity at 28. Since then they've started breeding. My dentist says I keep getting them around the gumline because I'm single handedly keeping Coca-Cola in business.

I'd love to coca-cola you if I had the income.... which i don't. :(

I'm ok on the teeth and tongue brushing and swishing etc.. what I need to get into the habit of doing is flossing everyday. I've never had a cavity.. btw. *knocks on wood*

I swish my mouth too. I use that crest no alcohol stuff. damn thing's nasty. It burns even with out alcohol, and leaves a nasty taste in my mouth that lasts half the day.

Good habit of soda drinkers or anyone for that matter.. throughout day swish with water. Gets rid of more in your mouth and on the teeth than you'd think.

Never used that. I'd switch if it leaves a nasty taste. Is it the kind that you are suppose to not drink anything for a while after use? I'd think after swishign with it and then swishing with water would get rid of it.

I use a few different mouth washes atm.. Targon, Plax or Whitening pre brush, and usually swish with ACT afterward. I use to could swish with regular listerine and not flinch.. now it makes my eyes water lol. Got out of the habit of using it, still got a bottle in my bathroom...I need to start using it again and flossing.

ACT is a good after brush rinse. Comes in cinnamon or mint and tastes good. You don't rinse or drink anything for 30 minutes after use.

*bookmarks for future reference* thanks :)

I'm glad they have started making toothpastes and mouthwashes in something besides mint. In the days of my youth the only non-mint toothpaste I could find was Tom's of Maine, which was only available at health food stores. I hate mint.

Usually twice a day.


Edit: I've only got one filling too.

everyday, occaisionally twice, and i've recently got in the habit of using mouthwash whenever i brush. despite this, i have pretty good teeth, never needed a filling and never had toothache that was not attributable to teeth movement. although somedays i'm so lethargic i don't even bother brushing, showering or finding clean clothes unless i have to leave the flat, sometimes not even then if it's just to go to the shops.

Wait, you want me to brush my teeth? What is this brushing you speak of?

The only times I don't brush my teeth twice a day is when it's midday and I still haven't brushed them.
No point when I'm about to have lunch anyway.

who is British and hit one of the last 2 options?

Twice a day, sometimes once. Followed by ACT mouthwash.

My teeth attract cavities, it's like they hide nearby waiting for me to get lazy... My dentist tells me that they hide in my cans of Barq's Root Beer, and doesn't seem to understand how "don't have any" can be seen as the worse option!

Just like Elizabeth I of England with her baths...
"Once a year, whether she needed it or not!"

*2 Times per day.:)

I don't floss much though as I can never get the string between by backteeth, even the dentists has trouble geting it in there and they have much beter leverage than me for shoving it in.I never skip the night time brushing. It's the most important one, as you don't eat anything during the night so you have an acid, and plague free mouth for the longest period possible during the 24-hour period.

Thrice a day.
But My Teeth STILL aren't white.
Most of the Enamel has been brushed away probably.
And below the Enamel is a yellow substance...
But I won't go all DENTISTY...

Usually twice a day. It depends. http://www.studip.uni-goettingen.de/pictures/smile/teethbrush.gif

Twice a day for 3 minutes (that's how long it takes folks, sorry). Any less wouldn't be good considering the job I do...
Also, there's no point in using mouthwash unless you have either:
a) bad breath
or
b) bad gums (or bad general oral hygiene).

If you floss, and it's not really that important, again unless you have bad oral hygiene, then be careful not to jam it into your gums, it'll only make things worse.

Teeth aren't white, they're not supposed to be. Only deciduous (or milk) teeth are white, hence the name. Adult teeth should be a slight yellow colour which becomes more pronounced through time.
That yellow substance is probably plaque. Maybe you should go all "dentisty".

When I wake up, before I go to sleep & after meals. Frequently another couple of times during the day, because it's a handy way of eliminating bad taste.

Twice a day, sometimes three times.

Twice a day, I floss maybe every other day and I use Lysterine mouthwash about twice a week or so, when I think of it.
I don't use any whitening substances on my teeth, as they will do more harm then good.

I brush once in the morning, once in the night, and usually everytime I leave the house, just out of habit.

I never skip the night time brushing. It's the most important one, as you don't eat anything during the night so you have an acid, and plague free mouth for the longest period possible during the 24-hour period.

Jeez, it would suck mundo to have that in your mouth. :rolleyes:

Once, twice if I get up before 10:00am, which isn't often. Don't think I've ever had a filling.

When I had braces it was twice a day, but now I'm starting to slip back into the habit of once a day. I think I've only flossed like three times in my life, not counting when I was at the dentist's office.

Jeez, it would suck mundo to have that in your mouth. :rolleyes:*watches the poor guy rot & die*

All hail Father Nurgle!

I brush my teeth 4 times a day and use mouthwash twice a day..


..Only because of my brace. :rolleyes:

At least twice a day, often three times a day.

I brush in the morning, and in the afternoon, and before bed. I tend to floss after meals.

I rarely brush, except to go out.

No wonder you never get laid.

I thought exactly the same thing when I read the OP...

Oh, is 17 days long enough to shout "Gravedigger!", or is that a case of "just resting"?

At least twice. At times after I eat during the day.
