It is advised to brush your teeth at least twice a day, but when? Just before bed is a gimme because you’re about to lie mostly still for 6+ hours. Best to not leave food particles to fester.
What’s the best time for an earlier brushing? After breakfast? After lunch? After work/school?
Plus, what’s up with TV and movies having breakfast scenes where they get up and head right out the door? Did they already brush and now they’re going to leave food to fester all day? Eww.
Apparently I’m disgusting because I only brush and floss at night. I wish I was the sort of person who brushed after every meal but I just can’t be bothered. I haven’t had a cavity in years though, so I guess it works for me.
I, too, am lazy. I brush at nights only, because lazy. I go to the dentist every 12 months and they’re always stoked at how my teeth and gums look. Maybe it’s genetics.
Same here, but I’ll chew a xylitol-containing gum after most meals and snacks. (not sorbitol, it doesn’t work.) Hard to find a good gum though - the only one I can get here is Mentos.
@sara it’s the gumline plaque build up leading to gum disease /receding gums that I would worry about if I were you.
