I brush once a day but should do it twice. I used to floss but now I never do it. I use a toothpick to clean stuck food.

Brushing and flossing is simple and important for your health. I brush twice and floss once a day.

I think with the negatives it gets pushed aside a lot. There’s been days in the past when I didn’t brush because I barely got out of bed. And also there’s been times in my life when I’ve been so depressed that I’ve lost 30 pounds in a month for not eating and laying in bed wasting away. The last thing I would think about is brushing my teeth.

I have invisible braces, so I have to brush and floss after every meal. It’s a bit of a hassle, but my teeth have never been healthier.

Did anyone else go and brush their teeth after viewing this thread? I did :rofl:

I never floss. I hate it. But then again I never had holes in the sides of my teeth. And also sometimes I rinse my mouth with vegetable oil, like for instance olive oil. I think it is equally, or even more effective than flossing, but takes more time. You need to rinse your mouth for about 5 minutes.

I brush about every other day, and try to floss once a week.

When I was depressed, I wouldn’t brush my teeth for like a week. Now I brush once a day, and floss. Of course there are still lazy days where I don’t

i brush once a day and never floss. prob should brush twice a day but it’s hard to get it into my routine.

I brush once a day, but pick my teeth after meals and rinse my mouth often.

Never had cavities.

If you only brush once a day, make sure it’s before bed, or you might end up with serious dental issues.

I have a water floss machine. It saves waste and it also works very well. The conventional floss hurts my gums, unfortunately.

It might not be the same for you but my dentist told me it’s normal to bleed a lot when you start flossing. It will pretty much stop after a while.

I’m terrible at cleaning my teeth. When I get depressed I often have thoughts about not being alive much longer and not needing to take care of them. Even when I do brush more its only once a day and I skip some days.
I find I floss more if I leave the floss near the toothbrush. Im more encouraged to do it after I brush etc.

I have the hardest time with brushing and flossing as much as I need to. I am too lazy and headed to the dentist tomorrow to get a filling. :cry:
