How often do you clean your teeth and floss?(trying to work out why my teeth/gums )

[Phteven]

I clean twice a day.
I don't clean every time I eat. I would have no enamel left.

I have just last week been to dentist and had a very painful clean done, and told to clean 2 times a day and floss at least once a day. I have never been a flosser as I hate the feeling of it but will be now (need to go back in 3 weeks for a gum check and then 1 week later for 2 fillings ? 1 may be a root canal) but need to wait till gums have settled a bit as they were very red and angry after the clean.

Have always brushed 1-2 times a day depening on if I can be bothered before bed!

Once I was at the dentist and the guy before me got a huge lecture on his way out for over brushing his teeth. Apparently he brushed them three times a day after meals and he had stripped away his enamel. I guess everyone has different teeth though.

I brush mine every night and mornings that I remember. I floss very occasionally, only prompted by something stuck between my teeth.

Brush twice day (sometimes 3 if I am going out of an evening)
Floss when I remember
Listerine occasionally.

Depends on where you live if you have fluoride. Check with what ever authority you pay for water use.

I brush at least once a day, usually twice. Flossing happens probably 3 times a week...I have sensitive gums and hate doing it!!
