Consensus does not equal necessity. We are often told we should be doing certain things X amount of times a Y, even though we could probably get away with far less and be just fine. Example: Recommended a minimum of 2 litres of water a day, whereas in reality you'd probably end up voiding the majority of that anyway.
I have found it fascinating that despite not adhering to consensus I continue to have 0 cavities, whereas other people I know DO brush after every meal and still get cavities.
I personally attribute it either to luck, or to a better diet. I wouldn't go so far as to say this conclusively, but I suspect that the fact I don't drink carbonated beverages is a strong factor in my good oral hygiene. That stuff is Terribad(tm) for your teeth.

Ahh. Halitosis.
Depends on whether or not I eat breakfast.
If I don't eat breakfast, then yes.
If I do eat breakfast, no.
