How often should you brush you teeth with toothpaste?
My mom always said to brush you teeth twice a day with toothpaste and then brush once with just water. I don't really know why she said that but then I saw on TV it said brush three times a day. Technically I do brush three times every day. But do they mean 3 times with toothpaste or what? we do use floss and mouthwash too when we brush if that matters.

Your suppose to brush morning, night, after every
meal. When you brush your teeth, it's puts a protective layer on your teeth and keeps them healthy, when you eat or drink something with citrus acid in it, it immediately takes away that protective layer and little holes form in your teeth and little bugs get in there. Brushing with just water seems pretty stupid to me, I don't get why you would do that. Flossing is even more important then brushing. Mouthwash is good too.

I don't really know that brushing with water does anything. But, technically you're supposed to brush after every meal, but brushing in the morning and at night is fine. Yes, definitely floss and use mouthwash.
I generally brush/floss/use mouthwash twice a day, and my dentist said I have very good oral hygiene. So.... XD
