I brush once in the morning and once before I go to bed w/Listerine. I usually only floss when need be. I should floss more often... Chicken wings get me everytime!

I brush once a day, maybe twice. I floss religiously tho. I've never had a problem at the dentist, one cavity ever.

Two to three times a day. So much so my dentist warned me to use a soft brush and only twice a day I was wearing the enamel off my teeth.

I brush my teeth 3 to 4 times a day. I floss 2 or more times a day. I also use Plax before every brushing. And then I use Listerine after every brushing.
Sounds obsessive ... yet when I do not follow that regimen, I end up with bleeding gums.
Oh ... and ... I do a bleaching about once a year, to keep my teeth a bit whiter.

Bruxsh two or three times / day. Floss almost every day.
That Arm & Hammer flouride, baking soda, whitener tooth paste is not too shabby.
Pick my teeth after ribs, porkchops, steak, chicken. I hate those pieces getting stuck between my back bottom molars. Also not crazy about them getting stuck in the other teeth.

I'm still perfecting my technique. Now, do you brush in an up-and-down motion or do you brush with a circular action from one side to the other? Or, do you hold the brush stationary and shake your head from side to side?
I'm too confused. I give up.

I brush two times a day with sensitive toothepaste and use Gel Kam for my sensitive teeth. I also use a scrub brush in between my teeth to help the cause.

I just throw a little Comet on the 'ol Sonicare. Sure my teeth have been worn down to small nubs by the abrasive cleaner but heh...they are the whitest nubs you have ever seen!

I work for the ad agency that handles the Listerine account - the same agency that invented "Halitosis" as a marketing gimmick.
Anyway, when the PocketPaks came out, we were all given massive boxes of them to distribute to friends and family. The other copywriters and I had a contest to see how many of the strips we could dissolve in our mouth at once.
The first guy to try it put 100 in his mouth and nearly fainted. He had to spit out this wad of half-dissolved strips. His mouth was raw for three days and he couldn't taste anything but listerine for a week.
Powerful things. Beware.

Brush 2-3x day, floss, and I use a TONGUE SCRAPER...best invention for breath yet. Try scraping your tongue after a couple of bourbons and a double liguero...it will make you want to hurl when you see the amount of gunk that sticks to the tongue! It also gets my tastebuds back into proper form pronto!
A friend's father used to drink scotch and smoke ciagarettes...gave up smoking, and a few weeks later the scotch started to taste horrible to him...guess he never really was tasting the scotch in the first place!
