    Twice a day. If I’ve been tired in the evening and fell asleep I hate that feeling when I wake the next day knowing I’d not brushed them.

    I have found some electric toothbrushes are more 'harsh' than others.  There are also different head types for them.

    I still have an older 'Sensi-Ultrathin' which isn't too harsh.  I just use the normal brush heads, often on offer in Supermarkets or Amazon.

    I would advise anyone to avoid the Floss Action heads...  I got a free one with a new brush so thought I'd try it.  Didn't realise they have solid lumps of plastic within the bristles.  I managed to knock a tooth out of alignment when the plastic got in between two teeth!  :|

    Do people use other stuff like mouthwash or floss or just brushing?

    I use mouthwash before and after brushing but I’m lazy with the floss and always forget to do it.
    I use Tepe as recommended by dental hygienist
