Fuck not brushing your teeth regularly and having unbrushed teeth from lunch till night time.
I try to brush my teeth three times a day. Used to have regular issues, now I don't and my teeth are less yellow.
No brainer.
I found out in some cultures brushing your teeth three times a day is the norm.
I asked my dentist about it and he said if you brush twice a day and floss once a day that's the most important. You're better off doing something else, like not eating sugar, probably won't get much benefit from brushing three times a day.
Maybe you need a better electric toothbrush or your toothpaste is shit?
That and following any "bad for teeth" food or drink with something neutral/good to mean it's not just sitting there.
Glass of water after sweets/coffee/coke/etc..
to be fair, everyone's teeth are different - some people just get blessed with healthy teeth, and if you don't eat messy, you might be good with a sip of water in between morning / evening tooth brushing. After all, cave men also didn't get caries in their 20-something years of life at least.
I think every three weeks is reasonable.
I just don't stop brushing. Every second you're not brushing, you're letting bacteria fester in your mouth.
Some people have toothpics in their mouth, I have a whole toothbrush.
I just found out my daughter's best friend only brushes once a day at bedtime. They're 11. I truly question some parents.
Coincidentally whenever they're facetiming I always yell in the background if she brushed her teeth this morning.
I see you Cecily. Your parents may not but I do. Brush your damn teeth!
Once a day isn't crazy if she doesn't eat tons of sugar.
I'm a school bus driver and one of the girls on my bus this morning was complaining about her teeth being yellow. I asked her if she brushes them and she said "no" like I had asked her if she could fly. TBF we think her mom steals her medication so her lack of basic life skills is understandable.
