Oral Hygiene Poll

To be honest... I only brush my teeth when either my parents bug me about it or when I'm actually in the bathroom after eating.

think you mean "cavities" there

Actually, it's the same. (Dental) Caries is just the medical term for it.

I brush regularly because my dad has about twelve metal fillings, and they're ugly as sin. Whenever he suspected that my little brother and I were lying about brushing our teeth before bed, he'd open his mouth wide, point at them and go "SO YOU WANT THESE DO YOU?" Needless to say, we brushed our teeth. (He claims the problem was that, after his first filling, his mum bought him a king-sized Dairy Milk slab "for being a brave boy", and did it every other time he needed a filling.)

Not in English, apparently. In German, however, you nearly always use Karies

Once in the morning a couple minutes after waking up. I rarely eat breakfast, so that doesn't effect it really. I'm horriblw with my teeth, but I have yet to get a cavity so \o/
