How often do you brush your teeth? Sure, we’ve all been told the ‘twice-a-day’ , but how many of us strictly follow it?

Are there any cultures out there with alternative practices that still maintain good oral health?

I’m intrigued to hear your brushing habits, thoughts on this, and any interesting findings you’ve stumbled upon.

    There’s a recent podcast edition of Science Vs. about this very thing.

    According to their interviewed experts and their research, brushing your teeth does nothing to prevent cavities UNLESS it’s fluoridated toothpaste.

    Flossing also doesn’t really prevent cavities, but it is important for me gum health. They recommend regular flossing (more than once a week)
