u should actually brush and floss after every meal. our mouths house a bevy of bacterias that feed off the food residue and cause tooth decay. flossing is equally as important as brushing because when food is trapped between our teeth, decay can start on two teeth at once. we call that inter proximal caries. brushing and flossing twice a day is a good start.Why should I brush twice a day isn't once good enough?
You should brush as much as possible. There are hundreds of types of bacteria in your mouth that causes tooth decay, and bad breath. If you don't brush after eating and then you go to sleep, the food is breaking down on your teeth and the bacteria multiply and cause cavities. Scrape your tongue, brush the roof and sides of your mouth, and most importantly FLOSS also.
Brush brush brush.
To answer your question, no it isn't good enough. Unless you want your teeth to fall out, then you don't have to spend 10 mins a day taking car of your own mouth.Why should I brush twice a day isn't once good enough?
My dentist tells me I should brush after breakfast, lunch, dinner AND right before I go to sleep. He also says I should floss twice a day and use mouthwash.
I ignore him. I've always brushed once a day and I'm fine.
Thoroughly cleaning your teeth (brushing and flossing) once a day will remove decay producing plaque.
But there is nothing like that just brushed feeling to give you confidence and help with bad breath..
My friend brushing twice a day is the best way to get rid of unhealthy bacteria in our mouths. Also if you don't brush at night, while you sleep you constantly have your mouth closed at least for 8 hours or so, so this is the perfect breeding ground for bacteria. But if you brush right before bed you reduce the number of harmful bacteria that defiantly going to build up my friend! P.S. Sneak in a 3rd time if possible too!
