    I only brush my teeth for a couple of minutes, morning and evening. Was at the dentist recently and had to get a filling because apparently I had worn away the enamel on one of my molars... seems the whole 'brushing for four minutes twice a day' thing is really a dastardly ploy by dentists to extract :pac: more money from us for unnecessary fillings.

    I try to do it twice a day, but invariably I end up doing it once every couple of days. Then I get a pang of conscience and might brush them 5 or 6 times in one day 'so as to make up for those lost days.'

    Very much a love/hate relationship with my teeth :)

    Post-breakfast and pre-bed are the only fixed brushings, definitely twice a day. Additional brushing if I've eaten crisps/jellys/chocolate, I can't stand the feeling of plaque/grime on my teeth, it drives me nuts.

    Here's a great time saving tip.

    You don't need to brush all your teeth, just the ones you want to keep.

    Brush my teeth 3 or 4 times per day usually.

    Can't believe how few people in Ireland floss their teeth.My ex girlfriend used to smell her own floss after using it.She got some weird satisfaction from knowing she'd cleaned it off her teeth.Watching this wasn't what you'd call a turn on.

    I heard on the radio from a dentist that it's bad to brush after your breakfast, you should do it beforehand. It's something to do with acid or something *shrugs* :o

    Anyone else brush their teeth while having a **** or am I weird?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,446 ✭✭✭miss_shadow


    I brush once a day,sometime's I forget. I don't have any cavity's/fillings. Brushing teeth was like a religion whilst growing up. I might get them bleached soon though.

    There are at least four 4 letter words that could fit into that sentence... all extremely filthy! :eek: Which one are you asking about?

    I'm thinking it was 'sh1t'. Doing any of those other things while brushing your teeth would fcuk up your rhytm :D Can't say I've done any of those things while brushing, but flossing and brushing at my desk I'm guilty of.

    Know that corsodyl stains but thought that it was the best of the mouthwashes and you can counter the staining by visiting hygenist every 4 rather than 6 months + give teeth a quick brushing before you eat food in the morning:confused:

    they have a warning on the fold out label. Your not meant to do much for an hour after having it.

    There's a few substances that re-act to it. Can't remember what exactly, but it's often found in food products and stuff like tea / Coffee.

    - Drav!

    ps. I brush in the morning at least...

    I don't think corsodyl is for daily use though, it's only if you have signs of gum disease/mouth ulcers. I use it occasionally for mouth ulcers (damn you raw tomatos!!! :pac:) and it definitely stains (I do drink a lot of tea though). I get my teeth cleaned once a year at the hygeinist to remove them.

    On the question, I brush my teeth twice a day without fail. If I am at home, I'll also brush after lunch or something particularly sweet.

    Please tell me you work in a bank or somehting where Customers come and sit in front of you at your desk.I imagine some interesting scenes as you break off mid life assurance sales pitch to tend to your toothies.Cue a couple of minutes awkward silence followed by their promises to have "a think about things" before rushing out the door.

    Not quite, if I told you what I did, I'd have to kill you :pac:

    Well I've always had my own office, I don't think anyone would put up with my incessant fidgeting with my mouth. But me dashing to the bathroom with a mouth full of toothpaste to be spat out would be common place, and nobody would bat an eye lid. Hmmm I do like the sound of your suggestion though :)
