Oral Hygiene Poll 2

It seems I was not specific enough in my previous question about before/after breakfast, so here's a new poll.

Oral Hygiene Poll 1

If you knew me in real life (ooo "real life!"), you would probably know that I take oral hygiene pretty seriously.  I use two toothbrushes of different bristle stiffness, a variety of mouthwashes/antiseptics, lots of different flosses/flossers, and I browse the dental aisle of my local drugstore a lot - mostly considering whether to buy a tongue cleaner, or a fluoride topical gel!  (I draw the line at electric toothbrushes and oral irrigators though)

In addition, I brush thoroughly (for over 2 minutes) 2x per day, or more if I happen to be at home after a mid-day meal or snack.

Is this crazy?  Good oral hygiene?  Detrimental?  Unnecessary?  Exactly what you do?

[baka1412]

1 times a day, mostly in the morning..

I always seems to forget about brushing before bed..

[mangaluva]

I sometimes forget to brush before bed, but I try to brush before bed and in the morning. I also always brush directly before going to the dentist's XD

[nomemory]

Brush 2x per day, floss and mouthwash at the evening/night although lately I have begin to forget it D: I have a tendency to be all hypochondriac about my teeth, and I sometimes have nightmares about them rotting away or other gross stuff along those lines. But not a single cavity yet Although it was a while since I last visited the dentist =(

[Azu]

Brush 2x per day <: .

I have lots (I think so:x) of cavities, because I loveeeeeeeee Chocolate. Milk Chocolates especially. And Morinaga Chocolates. And I love the Pucho Pucho sweets especially cola ones. .

[Commi-Ninja]

Generally, two times a day, sometimes more depending on what's going on.  Mostly:  before I leave my house.  So I suppose it varies quite a bit.

[GinRei]

Once after getting up and showering, once right before bed.  Other than that, it depends on how grimy my mouth feels (ex: after eating Pizza, something with high sugar, or chocolate I'll usually brush my teeth immediately).  Also if I'm about to go out and my breath stinks, but that's usually just an offshoot of the previous statement.

[Girl19]

Brush >2x per day, usually 4 or 5 times (but I never floss, and rarely mouthwash).

I brush my teeth after waking up, after having breakfast (if I do), after each lunch, and before going to bed.

[PT]

Twice a day, sometimes more. Rarely floss or use mouthwash, though. I have yet to find a floss I can stand using that doesn't make my gums itch, and I don't mind using mouthwash, I just never have any.

[Sherlock3]

at least twice a day, every morning and before i go to bed, every once in awhile i'll floss, if i feel the need to

[Akonyl]

in the mornings when I have the time / the willpower to get out of bed before having to run to work, otherwise at night before going to sleep.

[Conia]

1 per day every morning + mouthwash.

[pofa]

Twice a day and floss.

[dilbertschalter]

Brush 2x a day for around 10 minutes a go. Obviously not the most efficient way to do things (diminishing returns), but it works well enough.

[Detective Tommy]

Brush 2x per day
I use toothpicks after eating.

I use floss when I can't get something out my teeth.
