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!
