Cavemen wouldn't have eaten the same shit as us. Stuff loaded with sugar etc -


also, i apparently do not brush my teeth often enough. My girlfriend always tells me that but i thought it was just her

How can you guys be fucked brushing more than twice a day? I brush atleast once a day, but sometimes thats it.

Every day morning and night, mouthwash in the morning, floss once in a while.

Brushing "facts" (or so I've heard)


1. Brushing too much wears away the enamel

2. Fluoride in toothpaste has carcinogens (cancer causing) in it (DO NOT SWALLOW)

3. Mouthwash does little besides freshen breath. Brushing alone will kill those nasty bacteria.

4.Once a cavity starts...it can be "brushed over" rendering the need for fillings obsolete. (personal experience here...trust me)

I am humbled that a thread was started due to something I've said.
(Oh, and Stopper, hope you understand I was pointing out the absurd by being absurd :wink: )

For me:
At least 2-3 times/day, sometimes more depending on what's going on (after a plate full of baby back ribs perhaps :shock: ) with toothpaste. Additional mouthwash at night before bed (mouthwash in the morning before coffee, yuck).

I'm curious what the "typical standard" frequency of visits to the dentist is for you Brits. Here for the most part its every 6 months for a cleaning. X-Rays every 2 years.
That is, of course, if you can schedule a dentist visit before having to pull your own teeth out.

Almost impossible to brush that much. You would have to brush at least 20 times a day, for over 10 years to do that.
2. Fluoride in toothpaste has carcinogens (cancer causing) in it (DO NOT SWALLOW)
Not true. That is propaganda used by people who don't want fluoride in things

3. Mouthwash does little besides freshen breath. Brushing alone will kill those nasty bacteria.
Once again, not true. Mouthwash, used properly, can kill most germs then brushing alone.

4.Once a cavity starts...it can be "brushed over" rendering the need for fillings obsolete. (personal experience here...trust me)
Huh...I bet it will come back later, but I have no evidence to back that up.

1. Maybe with a wire brush and crushed glass, tooth enamel is the hardest substance in your body.

2. This may be true (haven't bothered to look it up), but so what, who eats toothpaste?

3. Some yes. Others no. Listerine e.g. is very helpful in cleaning the mouth and killing bacteria. Its just that most of the mouthwashes that are really killing bacteria, don't taste so great.

4. Whether this is true or not (I'm finding it hard to believe this personally), a cavity is basically a whole in your tooth, how can a hole be "brushed away"? Besides, I'd rather a trained and experienced dentist fix any cavities that I may have.

5. No offense Jay, but I think you may want to go see a dentist.

Most cavemen were dead by 25 or so, not much point really.

brush 2 or 3 times a day. Floss before I go to bed. Mouthwash when I wake up (and after breakfast if I eat eggs) and before I go to sleep.

Brush once a day. well twice if you count the time I brush without toothpaste before. I use that to grind all the gross stuff out. Then I go over with toothpaste to kill bacteria and freshen el breath.

the morning session supposed to get rid of bacteria that multiplied in ur mouth over night, and the evening one is to prevent a rapid bacteria increase.
