(lemmyunchained.net) submitted 3 years ago by LachlanUnchained@lemmyunchained.net to c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml 159 comments fedilink hide all child comments 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.
