Just wondering how often everyone acts what they (are going to) preach.
 
I was taught to only brush for dates... however I dont go on many dates.

Brushing and flossing?!!!
God only gave us 24 hours in a day and i don't waste this precious time doing such things.
 
I usually brush 3 times a day and floss twice. I usually also rinse with listerine before I go to sleep. 😀 After seeing/smelling periodontal disease all day at a homeless clinic for the last 2 months, I can't help but get a little OCD about my oral hygiene.

There are, however, a few students in my class whose breath is horrible.... 👎
 
I brush after every meal (~3 times a day) and floss once a day. I also rinse with listerine twice a day.

It seems a lot of people have smelly breath. How does one get rid of smelly breath?

I use the tongue scraper too. I don't think it's working though. Must be something inside.
 
Brush twice, floss once, some times more. Have you guys tried the mouthwash that Crest came out w/that's supposedly as good as Listerine? Can I just say, that they went overboard w/their blue coloring. I've heard it said that listerine's got too much sugar alcohol which is bad, in that it leads to cavities? Don't know how true that is.

Yeah, I'm going to go back to my listerine..I like the arctic mint flavor! Where is this ACT mouthwash available, is it in stores, or only online?
 
well what about brushing twice a day and flossing only once. then again it depends.. if i'm at work (in the dental office) i brush 3 times a day and floss once. so there you have it...
 
Man.....you guys make me feel like I'm a slacker in the hygiene department. I rinse with H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide) and brush usually just once a day. I can't wait for classes to end so that I will stop drinking coffee......I have been staining my smile kinda badly for this past semester.

No particular reason, I was just wondering where you were going.


I thought for sure a rude comment was approaching.

Sorry, but I am well known as a person who speaks his mind.

Nope, you thought wrong 🙂 I have no desire to be rude. Yeah I've noticed that you do speak your mind.
