How many times a day should you brush your teeth? ?!


Question: How many times a day should you brush your teeth.? .?
Answers:
at least twice a day (twelve hours apart) the reason for this is that takes about 12 hours for cavity causing bacteria to produce enough toxin to demineralize (weaken) a tooth. Thats how they came up wit the twice a day minimum So recommend brushing after every meal, but you have to be careful of over kill as people who brush too much are inducing recession ans sensitivity.

I personally would tell you no more than 3.Health Question & Answer

Best after each meal or snack you eat but most seldom carry a Brush and paste around with them.

I would say at least try to after each meal but if you can't do it then once in morning and once before bed with a proven quality paste and likewise on a rinse recommended by your dentist.

It wasn't easy but I gave up alot of candy, sweets, and most things with sugar in it as sugar is an acid to tooth enamel. Health Question & Answer

2 times, one after breakfast and one before bed, too many times brushing your teeth could wear them down from the sugar in your toothpaste. you can at lunch time use a brush without toothpaste but instead water if you feel better, trust me i know my mom is a dentistHealth Question & Answer
