I'm admittedly an overbrusher, so I'm wondering which sessions I need to dial back on to get within the 2-3 times a day recommendation.

2-3 times a day. Always in the morning and before bed. Usually once during the day as well.Where’s the “I’m pregnant so I brush every hour” option. Not pregnant I do morning and before bed and sometimes in the middle of the day if I feel like it or I’m going somewhere.
I'm transitioning to the mouthwash only when I get up and then brush after breakfast, lunch and dinner. My wife and I were brushing like 5-6 times a day which has worn my gums back a bit (after snacks and stuff).After breakfast. Before bed.
Got into a nice run after lunch at work...will try to get back into that.
I *get* waking up and wanting to brush right away...but think it's best done after eating. At least that's what my dentist-dad always said.
All the time.More than 3 times a day Cranks? You're not one of those at work brushers are you?
I also chew sugarless gum after coffee and lunch...again, per my dentist-dad, the act of chewing promotes saliva which acts to fight plaque and tartar buildup. Plus minty breathAfter breakfast. Before bed.

Yes, definitely double digits for me.Since you didn't specify timeframe in the first poll "How often do you brush your teeth?" I assume you mean over the course of a lifetime?
That's what I do, too.After breakfast. Before bed.

Similar, no set time but I usually don't start eating until 11-noon. I don't brush my teeth right when I wake up though. I will have coffee cup #1 in bed then brush my teeth.Walking Boot said:I eat breakfast four hours after I wake up
Sounds like a Meat Puppets cover band from Muskegon.facook said:First thing in the morning (pre-shower) and before bed at night. 90% of days.
Once in a while after a particularly fetid meal during the day.
Mouthwash may seem a beneficial, or at least harmless, addition to a daily tooth brushing routine.
But a new study suggests that swilling with anti-bacterial fluid could be killing helpful microbes which live in the mouth and protect against obesity and diabetes.
While mouthwash is supposed to target the bacteria which cause plaque and bad breath, in fact, it is indiscriminate, washing away beneficial strains.
Researchers at Harvard University found that people who used mouthwash twice a day were around 55 per cent more likely to develop diabetes or dangerous blood sugar spikes, within three years.
Although previous studies have found that poor oral hygiene can lead to health problems elsewhere in the body, it is the first research to show that seemingly positive practices can have unexpectedly negative consequences.
Yes. I personally use the alcohol free variants.Is mouthwash still considered good to use?
