Yes, I'd say on a good day, I will get in 5 brushings. I've heard that flossing is very important for the gums. I alternate between using fluoride-free toothpaste and baking soda/salt/peroxide mixture. (Quick brush on waking, one before dinner and after meals.)

Oil pulling or swishing the peroxide mixture I've heard are key to keeping the gums healthy so I try to remember to do that at least once daily. It's easier for me to swish the peroxide mix around.

I'd be interested to see what others do. Nice post!

I always brush my teeth frequently I dont know if its five times a day, but regularly. And unfortunately Ive had problems with my gums. Thats why I avoid gluten. It seems to help some. I also brush with baking soda. Sometimes when my gums really bother me at night I also suck on ice.
