It's never okay to use baking soda when brushing your teeth. Use toothpaste.
Up to six liters of water per minute can be wasted during teeth brushing. It is recommended to turn water off while someone is brushing their teeth in order to save water.
You don't you can't use gallons to brush your teeth that's stupid.
twice a week
It's a physical action without toothpaste. Many toothpaste have inactive ingredients, and are only there to "taste good". Toothpaste with fluoride, baking soda, and other common dental ingredients will undergo small chemical changes when they come in contact with water (when baking soda in water come together it creates a chemical reaction). So in some respects it's both!
The main compound in teeth is calcium phosphate. The component elements are Ca,P,O. Teeth are the hardest organs in the body.

Brushing your teeth once a day is now recommended since over brushing is as much as a problem as not brushing them enough. You should use mouthwash and floss in the morning after breakfast and brush your teeth and floss before going to bed everyday. Chewing sugarfree gum 20minutes after every meal (or after as many as possible) will keep your mouth healthy and your teeth protected. Flossing is actually more important than brushing and so its something you should be more concerned about. ------------- Brushing your teeth 3 times a day is important as it makes sure that you're keeping bacteria away and stopping the forming of plaque. Also you need to floss and use a water pick to make sure all areas of your teeth are cleaned. While brushing you need to be careful not to press too hard cause that may damage your gums. Here's a video which shows the proper tooth brushing technique - http://www.checkdent.com/en/videos/tooth-brushing-tips-237.html
The answer will depend on whether or not you are wasteful and leave the tap running while you are brushing your teeth.
Depends if you are running the water while brushing your teeth. Otherwise around 1-2.5 liters of water
Yes, but I'm not sure how many times is "too many". Brushing "too much" wears down the enamel. That's why it's recommended to brush only either twice a day, or after meals (assuming you eat 3 meals a day).
You should spend atleast 2 minutes brushing your teeth.
You waste 678 gallons on average per year if you leave the fosit running
Brushing one's teeth is supposed to be a time-consuming process. Many people do not realize that dentists will typically recommend that people spend 30 to 45 seconds brushing each tooth. By spending 30 to 45 seconds brushing each tooth, the teeth cleaning process ultimately takes about 10 minutes to complete. If you do not want to spend 10 minutes brushing your teeth every morning, then you may want to use an ultra sonic toothbrush. Using an ultra sonic toothbrush will only require that you spend about 2 minutes brushing your teeth every morning. An ultra sonic toothbrush allows for a more efficient teeth cleaning process.
Yes There is no need to brush one tooth that many times. You should spend three minutes brushing your teeth, in a circular motion, and that is good enough. Do this twice a day, floss after meals and becareful of the amount of sugar in your diet.
teeth grow about every 3 mouths
Practically none, I would guess. You should probably find a better way to burn calories. Just saying.
