    Brushing is a good habit to be in. If you forget one night, it probably isn't the end of the world, especially if you don't care if down the road you loose teeth to rot and decay. If you care however, I would recommend brushing every day, especially before bead.

    Food particles in your mouth feed the bacteria which dissolves tooth enamel, brushing and flossing removes these food particles.

    You, Lottie, have my permission to skip brushing your teeth tonight:D I am the same way as you! But I rinse my mouth out with water so some of the sugers from sodas or candy get off my teeth (braces).

    I do miss brushing some times, no real problem. I once asked my dentist which teeth do i need to make sure i brush well, she replied "Only the ones you want to keep"

    don't skip you brushing...it will become your daily habit...if you are feeling bit lazy to brush than you can do gargles with mouthwash...n don't eat anything for at least half an hour after doing gargles.
