How often do you brush your teeth? (lemmyunchained.net)

How often do you brush your teeth? Sure, we’ve all been told the ‘twice-a-day’ , but how many of us strictly follow it?

Are there any cultures out there with alternative practices that still maintain good oral health?

I’m intrigued to hear your brushing habits, thoughts on this, and any interesting findings you’ve stumbled upon.

pretty sure brazilians brush 3 times a day.

i just brush twice a day and floss + mouthwash at night on top.

Yeah I noticed that a lot of Latin Americans will brush their teeth after lunch (which I think is pretty commendable). I liked that, especially nice when you have meetings after lunch.

Where I’m from (not LATAM) - twice a day. Floss at night because I still wear my retainers and want to make sure teeth are clean clean before putting them on

I also noticed this when I was living in LATAM. Many coworkers and toothbrushes at work and would brush right after lunch.
