    I started regularly flossing within the last year or so. Still not convinced it does anything.

    I swish at least an ounce and a half of scotch whisky every night. It kills every germ in there.

    I'm really particular about my teeth, and I thought it might kinda be overkill but I started going to a new dentist a couple months ago and he complimented my very white teeth and healthy gums---so I guess I'm doing something right!

    Brush twice a day (right when I get up and before bed)

    AM brush: just normal brushing, swish with some Listerine after

    PM brush: swish with hydrogen peroxide for about 30-45 seconds BEFORE brushing, then normal brushing, then floss, then swish with Listerine.

    It's a little obsessive, but at least my teeth are healthy and white!

    It starts with me getting my tongue scraper out and ends with me plucking pubes out of my braces.

    I just brush them morning and night. Unless I have garlic and then I brush them about 6 times until I realize that the smell is actually on my fingers and then I go to hubby with what looks like it will be a hug and then put my fingers near his nose. This is an attempt to have him not like foods with garlic so much.

    I brush two times a day (morning and night)
    I floss once a day in the morning
    I need the mouthwash. Morning breath SUCKS!
    Visited the dentist two years ago. My teeth is clean, no issues, no need to go to the dentist for the time being.
  • only floss the ones you want to keep!

    Brush - 2X a day, When I get up and when I go to bed.
    Floss - Multiple times a day. Kind of neurotic about it actually.
    Mouthwash - Once in the morning
    Dentist - Every six months for a cleaning & check-up. Was there 2 weeks ago.

    Brush teeth morning and night.
    Floss only at night.
    Use mouthwash in the morning.
    Been at the dentist about 6 months ago.
    I have this weekly ritual i usually do on Sunday afternoon, shaping eyebrows, using a facial scrub, moisturizing mask etc. It also involves flossing, and brushing teeth for a very long time until i feel they are as clean as possible.
    Huh, it sounds a little weird now that i re-read that.

    1. Every day
    2. Every day
    3. Every day
    4. Every six months without fail (thank God for the NHS - don't know where the idea that Brits have bad teeth comes from!)

    Brush twice a day with a Sonicare.

    In the evening I also floss and use a WaterPik and a bite guard.

    I get my teeth cleaned professionally 4 times year because I have a couple of dental implants and you need to clean scrupulously around them.

    Having spent my childhood getting teeth drilled at practically every visit, and most of my adulthood getting bridges, caps, root canals, etc., it seems I've finally found a good preventative routine. The majority of the time now all I need is a cleaning.

    Brush twice a day, floss once a day, rinse with whitening mouth wash in the am, fluoride rinse in the pm. Just went for my check up last week and the hygienist was impressed with how clean my teeth were for not seeing a dentist for almost 3 years. :happy:
