Brushing once a day is not good enough!

Today, I had to keep telling my patients that brushing once a day is not good enough.  Please, people brush your teeth at least twice a day and spend at least 2 minutes per brushing.  Even after using an electric toothbrush, the most expensive kind, and flossing,  I still find plaque on my teeth.  That means that it is very very hard to get rid of plaque, communities of lots, lots of bacteria.  It is more than the number of all human kind on the earth!  It is not possible to get rid of all bacteria in our mouth, but please do put some control mechanism to get rid of some, especially if you wish to continue to enjoy food.
