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.

Had cavities with no local anesthesia in Asia when I was younger so I am now religiously brushing twice a day and flossing at least once a day and visit the dentist every 6 months.

I got a dentist that would give me the option to not use a local for much of the teeth work he did. I actually prefer it, need to find another one that will do the same since the first guy retired.
