How many times do you

[djmastermum]

Clean your teeth during the day?

I only clean them at night before bed, seems to work for me since I have no fillings in all my 35 years! :D

[Naomi]

At least morning and night. I know I should after lunch as well but I usually don't.

Josie, how do you leave the house in the morning without cleaning your teeth?! Don't you feel like your breath is rancid?

I don't leave the house, because I can't :-( I have never had a prob with bad breath either.:)

[Stormy]

If I'm at home, I clean my teeth after every main meal. If I'm out and about, then I just clean them in the morning before I leave and before I go to bed at night. :yes:

I can't not brush my teeth in the morning.....I just can't. I remember one of the girls I work with coming to work one morning saying she hadn't had time to brush her teeth - however she did have time to fully straighten her hair, put on a full complement of makeup and iron her uniform. No way, I would have skipped on the ironing before I'd skip on brushing my teeth. :blink:

[Cherie]

I am the same as Stormy. Morning and night etc.
Josie.. what about morning breath? doesn't your DH complain? Mine would.:hehe:

[floras69]

I've had a lot of problems with my teeth and gums over the years. I've had heaps of fillings put in. Gum recession which required surgery and root canal. I'll need to get a crown put in at some stage I used to only brush once a day (in the morning) I now make a point of brushing twice morning and night and flossing at night

[holly]

My grandad used to go off at me as a child if i didnt clean them morning and night, so i was brought up that way lol

[mummyof3babes]

Morning and night, what a bloody strange question!! (Not even sure why I answered!) LMAO

[Mad Old Cow]

I can't believe anyone would go without brushing their teeth of a morning OMG
morning & night for me

[Stormy]

Morning and night, what a bloody strange question!! (Not even sure why I answered!) LMAO

Maybe for the same reason I did....boredom LMAO

[CndMama]

I brush my teeth about 3 times a day, and I floss at night. I bring my toothbrush with me to college, so that after i eat lunch I can clean my teeth. And nightime flossing, it just feels so good!

I brush mine morning & night & sometiems during the day too. Stormy I cant believe she put her makeup before brushing her teeth!!

[romana]

You should brush your teeth at least every morning and every night. I recommend flossing once a day, preferably at night or using a water irrigator like the Waterpick brand. I am a dental hygienist and I believe that you can do a lot for your overall health by taking care of your gums and teeth and by visiting your dentist/hygienist 2x year.There are those rare cases where a patient does not have problems (genetics, saliva composition,etc), even though she may not be brushing or flossing regularly, but most of us need to follow a good routine to stay healthy.:D

[Jeda]

Gee, DJMastermum! You only brush once at night?? That must be my problem - i brush too often!!! (After every meal!) I've got LOTS of fillings in my 45 year old mouth! Plus a root canal and a crown, and a false tooth at the back which will soon be converted to an implant since it keeps falling out!

The front ones are still white, strong and filling-less tho..touch wood! :jump:

[Alexa]

Morning and night for sure and sometimes at work if I have eaten something like garlic with my lunch (ie Thai food), I also Listerine and floss (though not every day) and I have no fillings.

Yes, my dentist said I have perfect teeth. Had to have my wisdom teeth out a few years back to the sum of $700.00.

[Rachel]

I brush twice a day. Morning and night. Considering the amount of bacteria in a mouth I consider it unhygenic not to brush at least twice a day. Also, I feel brushing in the morning freshens me up and I just couldn't go to bed without my teeth feeling nice and clean :yes:

[zen]

3-4 times a day, first thing in the morning, after breakfast, maybe early afternoon, and always before bed.. and at least one flossing, maybe two.. mouthwash once or twice as well. can't have a too clean mouth! :D

[Stormy]

I brush mine morning & night & sometiems during the day too. Stormy I cant believe she put her makeup before brushing her teeth!!

Well the person in question is probably one of the more daft people there but completely obsessed with external appearances :blink: I shouted her a packet of Minties just so I could stand to be in the same room :eww:

LMAO There's a lady that I sometimes is seated next to me in tafe and her breath is awful, she leans close to me when she talks to me and I have to hold my breath! It makes me feel physically ill.
Needless to say, I like getting to class 5 mins late now so I can avoid her sitting next to me! LMAO
I can't stand people without good personal hygiene.

[Stormy]

Just keep a stash of Tic Tacs on you Laura and offer them to her at every opportunity LMAO

[mel35]

I've had lots of teeth problems since I was a kid I've always brushed at least twice a day, my parents used to stand a nd make sure my brother and I did it properly. When I was pregnanat I was anal about brushing my teeth every time I ate.

[Mesmereyes]

Well i clean them morning and night and i will tell u soethng that not even alot of my friends know, I have a full top plate,:>: nnoooooooooooooooooooo not a denture i hate that word, LMAO.

[redrobyn]

I brush mine twice a day can't leave in the morning til I've brushed my teeth, sometimes during the day if my mouth feels yucky, I also keep mouthwash in my locker at work just in case.

[mummyof3babes]

OMG the funniest thing happened at tafe today Stormy. This lady came in and sat next to me, not long later she pulled out a huge pack of minties and placed them on the desk. At first I started peaking out and thinking 'OMG she is on AFW'!! lol Anyway, we are doing an assignment together and I said 'Give me your email address and I'll email you the info tonight' and she said 'oh I don't have email or internet'... I was relieved!!! She's obviously not on AFW!! :hehe: Somebody must of said something to her about her breath, don't know, I was absent yesterday to take DD to get her x-rays so I don't know what happened while I wasn't there!!! LMAO

[sandydee]

morning and night here ,cant go to bed without brushing my teeth nor leave the house without brushing:uhno:

[Stormy]

Maybe her friend is on AFW Laura LMAO

[Kekka]

At least 3 times a day.

Once on waking....once after brekkie....once before bed. (Also after I go out drinking if they feel "mouldly".)

I had my first filling at 41. :D

[miss kiki]

ok, growing up i was bad with brushing my teeth. it was once a day..i can't even tell you how many cavities i've had..or fillings..now it's twice and usually when i feel gross i'll brush-that usually happens when i eat something gross, after candy, etc.

[Cherie]

I actually have a toothbrush I tote around in the car glove box...It's just handy to have, imagine talking to someone with food stuck in your teeth.
Well I did get caught once..I ate some parsley just before I raced out the door, went into the newsagents, then off to school. Spoke to one of the mums and then she told me my teeth all green..I nearly had a fit.LMAO
Yes its funny now.:D

[mummyof3babes]

Maybe her friend is on AFW Laura LMAO

Maybe!! LMAO

[kimba]

After every meal so 2 to 3 times a day:)

[fussybluu]

Definetly morning and night

another habit of mine is washing my face with soap
in the morning, which i have done since i was little
so far it's worked for me as my skin is fairly good considering i'm 46 .

[Mum2Twins]

I could never leave the house without brushing my teeth in the morning. Yikes!!

Morning and night for me.
