Every time I need to. That is, every time I consume something high in carbohydrate content.

Did you know that before the introduction of the evil food source known as cereal into human life, tooth decay didn't exist?

Twice a day, I hate the feeling of my mouth and teeth being filled with sugar.

I don't know, but its not much.

0-2 times a day.

Twice a day. I try to do it after every meal lately.

You guys are pretty decent... last time I brushed me teeth was like a week ago... maybe two.

I think I'm going to do it now.

Usually once a night, sometimes after consuming something like soda.
Doesn't really make up for the 18 or so years I went without brushing though...

Don't do this.
If you've had something to eat or drink right before you brush your teeth you do more harm than good.

Lately I've been brushing them once or twice a day.
When I'm particularly depressed, I go weeks without brushing.

>>10123
Apparently, you shouldn't brush right after eating acidic stuff because acidic stuff softens your enamel. But it's still probably better than not brushing at all.

I brush around once a week. Sometimes twice a week.

When I went to school I did it every day.

Every night before bed

I brush at least once a day, but sometimes I'll forget and go a day or two without brushing.

maybe twice or three times a week, i forget too much ;_;

twice a day because I haven't been to a dentist in years and scared as fuck to do so now.

>>10139
I haven't been to my dentist in years either. He talks a lot and I'm afraid of him asking what I've been doing, which is obviously nothing. Maybe I'll be dead before my teeth rot...

- shower: about once a week...
- teeth: sporadically (I don't remember the last time I did)
- wash hands: all the time.

>>10139
The last time I went was about 2 or 3 years ago. That was also the first time I'd been in 6 years too. When I went I was told I needed a filling in one of my teeth, I figured since it didn't hurt and that since the dentist was some foreign guy who barely spoke English that he was wrong. A couple of days later I went to another dentist (who also lacked the ability to speak directly or in a comprehensible manner to me) which was literally next door and they told me, in front of the entire waiting room, that I needed 7 fillings. I just turned by back on them and walked out and have never been back since. And now a couple of years later my teeth are still fine and I have no intention of going back to a dentist since I don't trust them and If I don't feel there's anything wrong, then there's no need to worry.

Hardly, don't care either. I'll also be dead long before they rot. I take showers often.

>>10141
I'm pretty much the same.

I think that in this entire year, the longest I've managed to take a bath in consecutive days is maybe two or three. The longest I've went without a bath is either two or three weeks. I brush my teeth when I take a bath. I also don't remember the last time I brushed my teeth, and I also wash my hands all of the time.

I feel less lonely now.

Once every two days or so. I hate feeling dirty. And I hate that uncomfortableness you feel after you fap and don't shower for a while.

I try to brush my teeth twice a day, at morning and at night, but I often forget to in the morning.

I had a root canal at 13(never brushed up till then) and then a bunch of orthodontic work with various torture devices.

Going to a dentist scares the fuck outta me. I haven't been in a few years either. I need to, but dammit.

I feel like shit whenever I go to the dentist because I always need a filling and they say something like "if you want to have teeth for life, you need to make an effort to brush more often". I brush twice a day and chew gum after eating, it doesnt help. Also I had a fucked up infection underneath one of my teeth so they had to pull it out, the alternative was $1000 root canal surgery. My brother never has cavities and he hardly ever brushes. I've been trying to see a dentist for months but I work every day and my rare days off are always busy.

>>10203
My dentist my whole life has put me through nothing but more pain than I ever needed to be in. The only thing I'm thankful for them doing is cleaning my teeth up every so often but the bad out weighs the good. I had so many what I would call torture devices in my mouth my whole life that i've just given up. Let my teeth go to shit, I don't give a single fuck. Braces were the last straw a couple years ago, I forced them to taken them off after the first week. Couldn't take it anymore. As for the rest of my body I shave and take a shower every so often but I got no one to impress so I never make myself sparkle.

Never. Last time i washed my teeth was year ago, my last visit to dentist. Since then, not a single time.

My teeth are totally okay, but occlusion is completely corrupt. My left canine tooth is on the gum, right in front of another tooth. Others are misplaced/crooked as well. But no cavity.

I brush my teeth before bed, and whenever my teeth hurt, even if the pain is unrelated.
I shower every week or two, though I've been trying to do it more often.
I wash my hands and dick obsessively.

I shower at least twice a day. Hygiene is a side-benefit; I do it to relax. Showers rule.

I also brush my teeth pretty obsessively because, frankly, I fear pain. I also prefer to not look like a chain smoker or a crackhead.

I hardly ever (and I mean EVER) brush my teeth. I've always drank a lot of soda and smoke from moderately to heavily for 15 years now. Nevertheless, I've only needed dental care in two occasions: a little cavity, when I was a kid (mostly due to family pressure; nothing of concern), and when I got two of my teeth broken, when kicked in the face repeteadly by a bunch of drunk football players (don't mind any more details)...

I guess I just have good teeth, like the hyena I am. I had to have at least one physical advantage, right?

I brush my teeth before I go to the dentist (luckily my father) once a year. That's about it.

Oddly though I'm very meticulous about showering, I hate the feeling of greasy hair or touching my arm and feeling the grease on it.

Shower once every other day, brush twice a day.

I shower or have a bath at least once a day. It's relaxing to do.

I brush my teeth any time I eat or drink something (unless its water).

Erratically.

I've heard only showering every other day is better for your skin

>>10395

It is true. It's also true with hair. Your body produces its own natural oils and they are beneficial to the body. Washing every day may not be a bad thing, but you would benefit from spacing it out.

It's been cold, so I've been showering every other day. Usually it's once a day. Brushing, once a day.

Echoing this. I've struggled with acne for half my life, and the single biggest improvement occurred when I stopped washing my face altogether. I still shower daily in the warm months, but I only use soap when there's a bit of dirt or something that won't come off with water alone. I never use shampoo, either, and my hair is never overly oily, dirty, smelly, or any other undesirable adjective.

I try to brush my teeth once every night, but often I can't be fucked going downstairs to do so. So generally I might brush 6 times a week on average. I wash generally once or twice a week. I love baths but I hate showers, since they're never warm enough.

I don't

Its so out of habit I just don't care enough to start, my teeth are already fucked beyond repair by this point and I WILL be eating baby food in my elderly age. I've hit the point that it doesn't even matter

I wash my face with olive oil. This works a HELL of a lot better than it probably sounds.

>>10628
What do you mean by this? Do you lather up with soap then use the olive oil like you would water? What kind of olive oil do you use?

>>10629
I too would like to know more about this.

>>10628

Wouldn't olive oil soap work better, or be easier? I see it for sale at stores.

>>10629

Nope; no soap, no cleanser, no nothing. I just massage in a quarter-sized amount of regular extra virgin olive oil, let it sit for a minute, and rinse it off in the shower. The idea (if I understand correctly) is that it dissolves the dried oils and dirt, without overdrying or removing the sebum your skin needs to be healthy, which is what most soaps and oil-free cleansers do.

Google "oil cleansing method". There are a few different versions, some of which involve mixing in castor oil, exfoliating with baking soda beforehand, etc. I just go for the quick and simple way, and it works like a charm. Also makes it much easier to shave, which is important for me since I have a fairly dark, coarse beard.

Fair warning, I am not a dermatologist, and this may all turn out to be total bunk. But a lot of people, myself included, seem to have been successful with it.

>>10632

Might be worth a try. I've never used it myself.

>>10635

Interesting. It sounds completely legitimate, at least. I know my sister uses olive oil in her hair to keep it from drying out. I guess it has many benefits after all, as do many natural substances.

Hygiene/general thread?

I brush my teeth twice a day with fluor supplements, floss very seldom - that shit takes forever. I shower once every other day. Wash my hands alot; face, chinchin and armpits some.

At least once a day, but it doesn't help from having yellowish teeth.

I usually brush my teeth 4+ times a day. If I go out, it's usually more. I'm constantly paranoid that I would offend people with my breath.

On a side note, I have a hate-love relationship with showering.
After I take a shower, I feel pretty relaxed and in a better mood. Yet I will go through great lengths to avoid taking showers. I bought baby wipes a while back to clean my my underarms, nether regions, and sometimes my arms and neck. It's pretty convenient.

>>10635
The Romans used to clean themselves that way.

>>10668
And now they're all dead.

I brush my teeth once a day at least. I found that if it is a regular part of your regimen, and you don't eat processed sugars much, your mouth becomes complacent and if you don't brush for a day and eat processed sugar, it kind of fucks your teeth over. So I would highly suggest either not brushing and keep eating sugar or keep eating sugar while brushing at least once a day. I suggest the second one.

As for showering, if I don't shower once every 24 hours, my head itches like crazy. I don't even notice it until I ask myself why I am scratching my head so much, and realise that I was supposed to take a shower three hours ago.

>>10648
I brush my teeth only once a day, and sometimes use mouthwash couple times a week. Dentist says the teeth are in perfect condition. I think cutting out sugars, snacks, and processed foods + eating more fruits likes apples does more to your teeth health then brushing 3-4 times a day;

According to Wikipedia, the population of Rome as of September 2011 is 2,777,979. Sounds like they're doing just fine.
