Brushing your teeth!
 
The title explains it all,
this thread is about brusing your teeth. C:

How often do you brush your teeth?
What toothpaste do you use?

Discuss! ^-^

( I brush my teeth 2x a day. At morning & before i go to sleep. C: )

Once a day - at night. I used to use Pearl Drops but now I use Crest 3D. As for flossing, I hardly ever used to do it but now I try to do it at least once a week.

And my teeth are whiter than anyone I know.

I also used to do it only once at night,
but i hate to have a bad breath during the day. C:
So that's why i brush them also in the morning.

3 times a day. First thing, then after breakfast, then last thing. I started doing the after breakfast one a few years ago when I used to have cereal for breakfast, as it just got the taste of milk out of my mouth. Stale milk taste/smell's just nasty.
Now I can't have milk any more for breakfast (as it makes me feel like throwing up if I have it first thing) but the brushing teeth after breakfast habit just stuck.
If I have certain foods, I'll brush after. Things like egg, onion and garlic.
I unfortunately have an extremely good sense of smell, so I'm quite aware of how my breath smells (and how others smells), so I figure I'd rather smell of mint than of whatever I last ate. Even if it won't bother others, it'll bother me.

It's funny, but when I was a kid, I hated brushing my teeth, as I really disliked the flavour of mint (and my parents wouldn't let me buy different flavoured toothpaste). Took me quite a while to get used to the mintyness and now I quite like it.

That reminds me of when i was still little. C:
I also hated to brush my teeth because of the taste.
But my mom always told me it was good to brush my teeth,
so it became something i couldn't miss anymore. C:

I sometimes also brush after something i eat,
for example pizza. C:

I brush my teeth twice a day, in the morning and at night. Usually. Though like others have said, if I've eaten something that has a strong smell I'll brush my teeth after that so sometimes I brush my teeth more than two times a day.

`YuuCute 01-15-2011 08:46 PM

I think we all hate having a bad breath. C:

Cherish 01-16-2011 12:17 PM

I brush my teeth every morning and every evening, and every time I leave the house, and every time I eat something that's got a strong flavour or drink milk.

I even keep a mini toothbrush and travel toothpaste in a pocket in my handbag, so I can eat things with a strong flavour while I'm out.

I'm a bit paranoid about bad breath. I've got kind of a "thing" about it. :sweat:

`YuuCute 01-16-2011 12:56 PM

Wow! you DO brush alot. D:

Mystic 01-16-2011 04:46 PM

I brush my teeth in the morning and at night. If I'm home during the day and ate something then I'll brush then. I floss when I can remember and always mouthwash. I use Tom's toothpaste. It's natural and it works for me. I use the mint flavored one.

The "Strawberry" one was on sale the other day and I bought it only to find out it did NOT taste like strawberries and was most certainly not "great tasting" like the package claimed. It tasted like bananas and literately made me throw up.

Sadistix_Love 01-17-2011 12:00 AM

Lol I brush it morn and night too. My cousin who is learning to be a dental hygienist taught me how to brush properly. PX

Glitter Golgotha 01-17-2011 12:08 AM

I brush once or twice a day (sometimes more if I feel the need) and I just use whatever toothpaste is available. Personally, I like trying a new kind every time we run out.

Fable 01-17-2011 12:14 AM

I brush my teeth about three times a day. :B

I have braces though lol.

Captain Pains 01-17-2011 07:27 AM

...I'm very bad when it comes to brushing my teeth. D:
I try to aim for once a day but I keep forgetting. I know I know. I'm disgusting. But I just cant seem to ever remember to do it, even if I'm staring right at the stuff in my bathroom. I've had this problem since forever.
And I drink a LOT of soda, so my teeth are stained, and no matter how many times I brush, rinse, bleach, etc my teeth it never comes out. [but it does lighten up a bit, then I drink more soda. x_x]

And even still my breath isn't bad and my teeth are still whiter than my friends. @[email protected]
Odd.

I want to fix this bad habit of mine...I really do. D:

kittykondos 01-17-2011 05:21 PM

I brush at least four times a day. I brush after i eat breakfast. Then I brush when I get home from school. Beacause school lunch is just flat out nasty. Then I brush in the shower, which is usually after dinner anyway. Then i brush before bed.

Melody 01-17-2011 08:27 PM

I brush twice a day on average. It will be 3 times today though, since we had chips and salsa for lunch, and the onions in that stick to my breath like...er something really sticky. :lol:

I use Crest cinnamon toothpaste. >.> While pregnant with my first daughter Mint made me sick. Horribly, horribly sick. And since then...well I just haven't been able to deal with mint on a regular basis, and so Cinnamon it is!

kittykondos 01-17-2011 08:51 PM

I use varied types of toothpaste. I don't really have a set brand. It's probably whatevers on sale or what looks nice.

Admonish Misconstruction 01-17-2011 09:04 PM

Crest. It's my thing.

Amethyst Lavenlight 01-18-2011 03:30 AM

I brush my teeth twice a day: after eating breakfast and before bed. I've been using Colgate Total Whitening paste, and I think it's decent. Also before bed, I floss (lots of food that breaks down into sugar between teeth) and swish with Act mouthwash. I'm really big about keeping my mouth and teeth clean.

Jovial 01-18-2011 04:07 AM

I brush two or three times every day. I usually just go by how my mouth feels. If I feel icky and I'm worrying about bad breath I'll go ahead and brush. I used to be really terrible about it when I had braces (2-3 years ago), I'd go three or four days without brushing. It was nasty. I'm surprised that I saved my teeth and they're not stained and ruined. They're extremely white now.

Aemilia 01-18-2011 04:09 AM

I'm not going to lie, I brush my teeth only once a day. XD I do however, floss my teeth almost everyday with floss picks. I don't use rinse but I really should. I don't like mint at all so I brush my teeth with fruit flavored toothpaste. I use Tom of Maine Silly Strawberry, Mango, and Cinnamon Clove flavors.

Jovial 01-18-2011 04:14 AM

Oh yes, I use Crest Extra Whitening. I don't particularly like mint paste either, but I haven't been able to find a fruit flavoured paste that doesn't make me want to vomit. I'm weak when it comes to mouth wash. It starts to burn and I feel like I'm gagging after about 15 seconds, so I'll spit it out way before the bottle says I should.

Oh man, me too. My parents and dentists were never able to drill good dental habits into me. I don't know why, but brushing and flossing has always seemed like too much a chore or punishment for me to get into it, though I'd like change that.

Then again, it really doesn't help that I have an exceptionally shallow gag-reflex and toothpaste of any kind is mildly disgusting to me -- its hard to want to brush when doing so makes me want to vomit. D:

Kole_Locke 01-18-2011 05:53 PM

I usually brush my teeth twice, and I really need to start flossing once a day instead of once ever couple days. I use arm and hammer toothpaste.

monstahh` 01-18-2011 05:59 PM

I don't brush my teeth nearly enough...but right now my teeth are to that point where brushing them hurts like hell. :(
so it's intense pain, with no real payoff, because I need my teeth fixed before they'll stop getting worse. :/
hopefully though, that will be happening this week!!! ^______^
