It is recommended that you brush your teeth at least twice a day and floss at least once a day. Take note that it says “at least”. This means that you can brush and floss your teeth even more than those recommended amount of times each day, although make sure you are taking care while doing so.
In fact, brushing and flossing after every meal can significantly reduce your risk for tooth decay and gum disease. It may seem like work to do this routine of brushing and flossing every day but that is necessary to maintain a healthy lasting smile.
Think about it this way:
To keep your whole body healthy, you must have solid, healthy habits that take up a part of your every day.

To keep your teeth healthy, you have to take time to clean them as well as visit your dentist.
A healthy smile takes work, but it is well worth the benefits that come alongside that.
