What is the point of brushing your teeth.. before going to bed and right after getting up?
I mean you eat 3x in between and those bactaria can work their thing all day.

it's just a matter of convenience, user. you sleep for a long time, so bacteria does their work there. you wake for a long time, so bacteria does work there. night burshing cleans waking bacteria, morning brushing cleans sleep bacteria. you brush when you wake because, you just became conscious and feel like doing shit that helps you function. not having shit breath is part of that. i

But one interval is like 6 hours. That is 18 hours for bacteria to develop. And doing it morning and evening (more likely) is roughly only 12 hours for them to develop

You SHOULD brush after every meal. Also floss and gargle with mouthwash.
Getting up an going to bed are just times when you MIGHT remember to take care of yourself and have no more immediate pressing matters.

After meal the mouth needs time to neutralize

You have to brush your teeth every time AFTER you eat.

What is the point of living either? Why dont you kill youself you disgusting trash?

what did people do before oral hygiene??

math

I brush every morning after eating breakfast (also before going to bed)
Now one should not brush straight away after eating but wait atleast 30 mins, also flossing is very important if not more important than brushing.

Are you retarded?
Brushing your teeth after a meal removes the food that feed the bacteria.
Then they don't have anything to eat during the day and night.

B4 oral hygiene people didn't care as it was invented as a direct result of processed foods. So around the 1900's was the time people started brushing

the problem is not processed foods. It's sugar. Before we started chowing down on candy bars and chugging soda. There have been studies with the Inuit, who didn't brush their teeth, and started having too once they got easy access to sugar.

How can you accidentally make a cube?

After eating anything with starches or sugars in it, your mouth environment is acidic. This means that your tooth enamel is temporarily softened, and brushing at this stage is not advised. For best dental hygiene, you should chew sugar-free gum straight after a meal, and then brush and floss an hour or so later.

Before oral hygiene their teeth rotted out.
Refined sugars and soda has made the problem worse -- but don't think everyone had a gleaming white smile in the past. George Washington had wooden teeth. "Doc" Holliday was a dentist and there wasn't much he could do except extract a bad tooth -- which he did with a sort of compound-lever gizmo and whisky or opiates as an anesthetic.
The only reason EVERYONE didn't have bare gums and drink only soup in their old age is that few lived that long.

A 2008 systematic review of 11 studies concluded that adjunctive flossing was no more effective than tooth brushing alone in reducing plaque or gingivitis.[3] The authors concluded that "the dental professional should determine, on an individual patient basis, whether high-quality flossing is an achievable goal."[3] The review also states that "routine instruction of flossing in gingivitis patients as helpful adjunct therapy is not supported by scientific evidence".[3] Two studies found no effect of floss among dental students.[3] One review reported that professional flossing of children reduced dental caries risk, but self-flossing did not.[15]

In response to an Associated Press investigation, the US government stopped recommending flossing in their 2015 U.S. dietary guidelines, having deliberately changed their focus to food and nutrition, and stated that effects of flossing had never been researched as required.

it's not. see

It is, most people just don't do it properly.

>bacteria can work their thing all day
They are inhibited during the day by saliva flow, which is greatly reduced while asleep.

> The only reason EVERYONE didn't have bare gums and drink only soup in their old age is that few lived that long.

But with such a relative lack (to now) of opportunity to consume carbs, wouldn't teeth have a much greater chance on a healthy and long lifespan?

>greatly reduced while asleep.
I drool. does that mean im bacteria free?

Bigot

If saliva is reduced at night and say thay this contextually bound is disbenefitial to the body, why then doesn't the body adapt to that cycle this person assumes? Are there ulterior reasons for less saliva during nighttime?

You don't eat when you sleep. The action of the saliva (and the mastication) is the first step of the digestion process.

Eating is very important, most people don't do it properly.
Flossing isn't very important.

Eating actually helps clean your teeth. When you do long term fasting you need to brush your teeth more often than normal. Otherwise, your breath will get fucking horrible.

> it was invented as a direct result of processed foods
if only it was that simple

> your breath will get fucking horrible
at least part of the reason why fasting break stanks is also because of ketosis. interesting about brushing your teeth during a fast

So it just 'happens' to protect your teeth as well? Otherwise it would be multipurposed
