How do you clean your teeth?

1) I floss first with either normal floss or a floss pick if I'm feeling lazy or tired. Then I brush my teeth with my Oral B electric toothbrush, and then use a tongue cleaner to clean my tongue. I do keep a soft manual toothbrush (Curaprox Ultra Soft 5460 - Best soft toothbrush I've ever used) around for the nights where I fall asleep and wake up at 3am and need to brush my teeth.

2) It takes me about 10 minutes overall. About 5 minutes to floss, 2-3 minutes to brush, and like 30 seconds to clean my tongue.

3) Twice a day, everyday. Sometimes I brush after lunch as well (I wait an hour before I brush though) if I feel like it and I'm at home. Though on a morning I only brush and clean my tongue.
