Whenever I’ve asked a dentist or looked up online, the optimum number of times for brushing your teeth seems to be twice a day. Yet whenever I finish a meal or snack it really feels like I need to brush my teeth, especially if I’ve had chocolate. So since brushing your teeth is good, why isn’t it better to brush them after every meal, and not just twice a day? Or have I misunderstood?

FWIW one time I went to see a dentist, it was around halloween and he was eating a candy bar. He finished it, said “hold on a second” and brushed his teeth.
The recommendations are things that it’s expected every person can do – it’s simple, it’s not too demanding, etc. But lots of people brush their teeth after eating also.
