Twice a day, once in the morning or whenever I get ready for the day and once before bed. I also brush my tongue with a tongue brush/scraper. My current struggle is trying to get flossing into my routine. I know if I keep at it, it'll get better, but right now it's hard to want to go to bed with the taste of blood in my mouth.

To all of you who don't brush in the morning, are you all nose blind? Morning breath is the worst, second only behind coffee+morning breath. Have some consideration for your fellow humans.

Twice a day, plus a small metal tongue scraper and flossing. I used to use mouthwash until I found tongue scrapers worked much better.

I were supposed to do tree times a day, but i end up 2 every day. I also bathe every day

3 times a day.

I brush after each meal, floss after lunch, and use a waterpik after dinner before brushing.

Probably excessive, but it’s less than 15 minutes a day total to keep my teeth happy.

I have a pattern which really works for me where I wake up, brush my night guard and brush my teeth with no toothpaste and then eat breakfast. That way I don't have the horrible mint toothpaste / orange juice clash I'm sure many of you are familiar with.

Then at night I floss and brush with toothpaste, and put in the night guard.

I used to make myself floss only every other day (like if I didn't floss last night I MUST floss tonight), which I highly recommend rather than sporadic or no flossing. But I recently upped my game to "every night except special occasions".

I brush twice a day. I had a kind of gross moment that forced the habit. One day I looked up microscopic pictures of teeth. Normal teeth kind of look like a cool lattice structure under a microscope. Non-brushed teeth... the bacteria looked SO disgusting. I do not want that in my mouth...

pretty sure brazilians brush 3 times a day.

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

Twice a day, and if I need to freshen up.

When I'm working, ever morning and most nights, when I'm off, hopefully once a day if I'm lucky. It's easier to just wallow.

2-3 times a day, depends

If I'm at work, I also brush after lunch

If I'm home, I just casually skip it because yeah fuck it

Twice: after waking up,before bed. Floss, tongue cleaner , mouth wash is a part of the ritual. On a related note : can recommend electronic tooth brush.

The amount of individuals here who brush post breakfast or not at all in the morning is alarming ! Of course, mental health can affect the schedule but that's a different conversation and is understandable.

The rest, how is your dentist not harassing about your oral hygiene?

I floss and brush religiously every night, have for many years. I had a cavity when I was young and the whole experience was terrible.

I still ended up with multiple cavities as an adult.

Twice a day: After breakfast and before going to bed.

The latter one goes with mouthwash, and at least once a week some floss. Has worked for me quite well. You might need some more depending on your genes, but it seems to be the golden middle I found for myself (and others who ask me), and even the dentist has yet to tell me to change anything in that routine.

Beginning of the day and after my last meal of the day, plus before I take a nap if I do (they feel funny if I don't)

Every time I take out my Invisalign :( so 5-10 times a day.
