I would say brush your teeth 3 times a day and go to the dentist once or twice a year. Also, floss once or twice a day.

I brush my teeth twice a day, morning and night. You ARE supposed to do it after every meal.
Other things that help with keeping healthy teeth if brushing is not available after every time you eat is eating things like celery (which help clean the food off your teeth when you chew it) and drinking water to wash away some waste.
I'd say you should go to the dentist every 6 months for a cleaning. While your there they usually check for cavities and such.
ANd like they always say, dont eat too many sweets.

If you have VERY HEALTHY TEETH right now, than you must be doing the right thing, so basicly just worry about wrinkles, not teeth.

three times a day, for at least 2 mins of brushing.

brush 2-4 times daily. up like a rocket, down like the rain, side to side like a chocho train. brush your tongue too.
floss 2x daily and massage the gumline.
before you go to sleep, rinse your mouth with flouride.
