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.

When I wake up and before bed

Same, but I've combined my teeth brushing with showering. It gives you a nice excuse to zone out in the shower for just a bit longer.

3 times a day.

I brush after each meal, floss after lunch, and use a waterpik after dinner before brushing.

Probably excessive, but it’s less than 15 minutes a day total to keep my teeth happy.

Thats absolutely bizarre to me. Do you travel at all? How does that work?

When I wake up. Once a day. Never had issues, breath smells fine etc. Guess I'm blessed with great tooth genes.
