I recently had braces removed and now have to wear a retainer all day, and so brushing after every meal is an unequivocal must.
Since I only eat one meal every 24 hours now, it’s been much easier to keep my retainer in because I only have to brush once after eating. I don’t brush in the morning because my breath doesn’t smell, and if it does, hydrating fixes it.
Do most people who fast skip brushing, or do you keep the same schedule as before?
I pause flossing, but continue brushing after my morning shower and right before bed. I probably *could* get away with not brushing during my extended fasts, but I like facing the day and the night with freshly cleaned teeth.
