Is it important to brush your teeth twice a day or after every meal?

After every meal: I am sure you have heard it before, you should always bruch and floss after every meal. New studies show that it is best to wait a half an hour after you eat to brush and floss.

Yes: It's important to brush your teeth at least twice a day, in the morning and before you go to bed. Some people like to brush after each meal but it would be better to brush before to remove the bacteria. Don't forget to floss at least ones a day.
