Myth: Brushing once a day is enough

One good morning brush feels responsible. Then the day happens to your teeth, and the night finishes the job.

Habit, hurry, and the feeling that a thorough single brush should surely count double. Plaque disagrees.

Brushing at least twice a day is the recommendation for good oral hygiene. Plaque reforms within hours of brushing, and overnight, when saliva flow drops, an unbrushed mouth becomes a bacteria incubator.

Brush morning and night with fluoride toothpaste, and floss once daily. The night brush is the one you should never trade away.
