Hey there, have you ever wondered how many times a day you should brush your teeth? Let's dive into some common questions about oral hygiene! 

First off, Dr. Rupam Khanna, a renowned dentist at San Ramon Family Dental, recommends brushing your teeth twice a day. This means a thorough cleaning in the morning and before hitting the hay. 

Brushing your teeth in the morning helps to freshen your breath and remove plaque that has built up overnight. On the other hand, brushing before bed is crucial as it clears away the food particles and bacteria that have accumulated throughout the day. 

Remember, it's not just about how many times you brush, but also about how you brush. Dr. Khanna suggests using a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste, gently brushing in circular motions to cover all surfaces of your teeth. 

Of course, don't forget to also floss daily and schedule regular check-ups with your dentist to maintain optimal oral health. Taking care of your teeth is an essential part of your overall well-being! 

So, to answer the question - you should brush your teeth twice a day, every day, for a healthy and happy smile!
