How often a day do you brush your teeth?

I have the same problem. Whenever I eat or drink something very high in sugar like chocolate cake or coke I brush my teeth 10mins afterwards just to try to get rid of the plague

lol.... Plaque, maybe?

Don't know why that made me laugh so much.

I clean my teeth twice a day, use sugar free gum and colgate mouthwash also.

I have'nt been to my local dentist for a few years though (my dentist is so annoying). I go to the orthodontists though as I still have a fixed retainer behind my bottom teeth.

I am feeling down about my teeth though as the last time I went to the orthodontists I was told I have to see a hygienist :eek:

! Is this a normal proceeder? or is this her round about way of telling me something i.e. I have poor hygiene! I was so upset and humiliated :redface:

after she told me this and to make matters worse the wench said that after the retainer is took off my teeth might go back to their natural state, WHAT! She talks so fast as well so much so that it's practically impossible for me to get a word in edge ways :mad:

!

I just feel like I have went through five years of treatment for nothing now because of her insults. :frown:

Will stop rant now, sorry. :smile:

P.S. Do you think it is really necessary that you go to the dentist every six months or as long as you look after your teeth no?

Don't worry about the hygienist thing. It's just to save dentists time I think.

I go every 6 months for a check up and last time I went he said I only needed to see him (the actual dentist) once a year, and that I should just see the hygienist every 6 months alternatively. That was because I've never had anything wrong with my teeth, so it's just easier if I see the actual dentist once a year.

Just try to brush your teeth after each meal, that way you will have less problems.

Thank you for the reassurance. Feel better about myself and my hygiene now. :smile:

By the way, mouthwash such as listerine are crap because they're mainly alcohol based, which means that it dries your mouth more. This provides a feasting ground for which ever bateria it is, causing bad breath. Hydrogen peroxide ones are good :smile:
