Recently am going as a promoter for the Pepsodent’s free dental campaign. There I used to brief kids about the benefits of brushing twice a day. But I feel, its not a habit to be followed only by kids. It is really the most compelling habit even for us. I know most of you would be brushing only once a day. But it is really a good habit to brush twice a day. The Pepsodent company has made a funny and humorous cartoon, which emphasizes the importance of brushing twice daily. The shocking news is that, in tamil nadu 83% of the kids under the age of 5 are affected by tooth cavity and tooth decay problems. So it’s a must to take care of our teeth. After all, a sparkling smile can make things work out. We can question as to why we should brush our teeth in the nighttime. But in the nighttime, only we take a nap. But the germs never sleep. So as we people know, it may pave way for tooth decay. The germs may put big holes in our teeth. Of course the after math is a painful experience to anyone who is experiencing the tooth decay problem. We will never be able to eat anything properly without accepting the pain, which accompanies it. So it is always better to brush your teeth twice. Once in the morning, as soon as you wake up. And once in the night when we go to sleep.

Hey man, I like your blog. But I think you got this wrong. I know for a fact that we dont need to brush twice daily. Brushing leads to thinning of the enamel layer present on our teeth. As for the actual 'killing of germs' shown in tooth paste advertisements, thats for publicity only. The only way our teeth remain free of germs and leftovers is to eat some kinds of fruits. For example, you may eat an apple or two everyday. Or even a soft banana will help. Eat fruits everyone. What nature gave us is enough. The real purpose brushing serves is that it reduces the yellow lining on teeth after decay. It also reduces mouth odour. Except for those two, tooth paste serves no other purpose.
So, my conclusion: Brush in morning regularly. It is social. But dont get carried away watching advertisements and hollywood crap. Eat plenty of fruits and drink plenty of water. It is better remedy than brushing twice.
