You should brush your teeth at least 2x a day, but you should also consider brushing your teeth under these 5 circumstances. We all know how important brushing your teeth is; there is no other way to remove food from the surface of the teeth and gums. Without brushing, the food on your teeth turns into acid. This acid then wears down your tooth enamel causing cavities and other problems.
Here are 5 circumstances that might occur when you want to brush your teeth:
- First thing in the morning
- A meal that is high in carbohydrates
- After you have drunk soda or alcohol
- Before you go to bed, remove any leftover food debris on your teeth at night.
- After you consume a dessert
