This is embarrassing but how do I get into the habit of brushing my teeth because for some reason I really struggle. I’m usually too exhausted to do another step besides for showering and putting my clothes on. Any advice would be appreciated

i do it in the shower in the nice warm water while i’m waiting for another step like leaving in medicated shampoo or conditioner. getting an electric toothbrush was a game changer because you just move it around your mouth, you don’t have to do circles like a manual toothbrush. its way easier so im much more likely to do it

lowk this post did a lot for me but also think about the dental work you’re gonna need if you don’t. because i need to get one extracted but the dentist is 1. expensive and 2. scary as hell so bottom line brush before it gets to that point!!

I absolutely hateeee brushing my teeth but my mom got me an electric toothbrush and it literally changed the game completely for me! I think there are pretty cheap ones out there so if u have the money definitely try that!

Lolol, my mouth is in a constant state of slight plague. The bad news is everyday I wake up with my mouth completely bitter. The good news is that forces me to brush first thing in the morning, keeping it clean for the day and preventing it from getting worse or getting cavities. I live on edge.

I keep my toothbrush and toothpaste on my nightstand. I can just stay in bed and brush my teeth, then it makes me get up to spit it out or you can keep a cup/trash beside you. Electric toothbrush helps the task feel easier. I also used kids/flavored toothpaste and mouthwash to help with hypersensitivity to mint!

If showering is easier for you to get done, try keeping it there and doing it while you’re already in!
