To brush my teeth twice a day

I brush mine twice a day. DP sometimes does it once every other day. I am just about ready to blow my lid at him

Surely even once a day is better but not doing it before bed then leaving the house the next day without doing it! I'm embarrassed and disgusted.

I admit to doing it once a day. I had my first "filling" at over 40 and that was due to wearing away my gums rather than decay in the actual tooth, so I'm not inclined to do it more to minimise further gum wear.

Husband is also once a day, but hypocritically it bothers me because I'm a last thing at night person (so they are clean all night) but he's a morning person (so they're only clean for 10 minutes before breakfast).

Every other day would disgust me.

Hmm, this is quite grotty. Going to work with claggy, unbrushed teeth 🤮. I would feel disgusting and it wouldn't want to interact with people if my teeth weren't clean. Smelly breath is also not nice to inflict on others, and i imagine that's quite unavoidable if you're going so long in between brushing.
