I keep a bucket of water with me and tooth paste/brush in my room and probably brush 7-8 times a day. Brush in my room because I don't like staring in the mirror at myself.

I usually only brush once as part of my before bed routine. Sometimes twice if they feel particularly dirty during the day.

I brush my teeth 2-5+ times a day, and I floss twice a day. They like me at the dentist's because my teeth are very quick and easy for them to clean and check and all that.

I clean my teeth every morning and every night. I don't mind what toothpaste I use, as long as it does it's job.

I try to remember to brush once a day before going to bed but I don't always remember. I don't like doing it and I don't like most toothpastes because I don't like mint and I don't use mouthwash or floss. If I used mouthwash I'd probably have to use a kid one because I hate mint and things like listerine taste really gross to me. Flossing is too hard and makes my gums bleed. Brushing does too a little but not always.

I've never had my teeth cleaned at the dentist or had a filling. I quit going to the dentist when I was 7 and didn't go back until my late 20s or early 30s to get some teeth pulled.

I progressed to brushing after every real meal despite the overly minty and terribly brushy experience of it.

Yay me. Mr. sensory dysfunction, you lost.

Or maybe you won either way, seeing how now I cannot stand the lingering taste of meals anymore and absolutely need to brush.

usually 2-3 times a day. I don't really floss as such. i don't see how flossing is effective beyond my canines as i just can't get two fingers in any further. maybe it's just about practice but i do also have quite a small mouth but a normal sized jaw.

i usually use a fingernail to scratch off plaque, it works wonderfully and you get much better sensation in terms of being able to tell where there is plaque. i don't often floss between my teeth but now that i think about it i'll start.

oral hygeine is fairly important to me of late. it does actually have health benefitts beyond your mouth and teeth

I must add, I did clean my teeth every morning when I had a 08-16 job, but now it has just been a slippery slope.

Once a night with the help of my mother. Couldn't do it without her helping me.

I never cleaned my teeth growing up; I just said I did.

Once or twice a day. I can't brush immediately after waking up because I gag on the toothpaste and throw up.

A few months ago, by mom was over my house and saw me brushing my teeth. She started laughing and asked who taught me to brush my teeth. I said "not you". Truth is though my motor skills are horrible and it's difficult.

I never did brush my teeth when I was a kid. I remember doing it after my aunt pointed out that I needed to. I think my parents assumed I would know to do it on my own.
