I started keeping my toothbrush and toothpaste in the shower and I really love brushing my teeth in the shower, so I do it every morning (even though I’ve always been doing it, I used to not like it very much, for some reason). I’m still not very good at brushing my teeth at night, it wakes me up and I do a lot of late-night snacking (mm, chocolate). I’m going to brush my teeth tonight, though. I remember my mom getting mad at me when I was like twelve because I hated brushing my teeth and she was like “this is basic self care, Tiger! This is stuff children do!” and I was like “yeah yeah yeah.” Well she’s right, but it still doesn’t make it fun :(

SavageGenius Realized that her dad was obsessed with cameras.
Definitely worth doing! Feels so refreshing, haha. Probably should do it more though… and floss.

Yes, I’ve somehow made it to being an adult without ever developing this habit. I don’t recall it ever being stressed as a ritual when I was growing up, to the point that my teeth had started turning green. After repeated adult dental visits I would have a brief spurt of attentiveness to oral hygiene, but it would then lapse.
I’ve heard from various sources that it takes 21, 28, or 30 days to form a new habit, so since my last visit to the dentist I’ve been trying to form this habit. I’m a bit hazy about how long I’ve been going on an uninterrupted streak (shoulda wrote something down), so I’ll just mark Monday the 4th as when I started. Hopefully by March it will become a lifelong habit!

erihu is looking forward to the new house
i brush my teeth 2-3 times with both a pre- & post-brush rinse of listerine…on Saturdays i use a pre-brush rinse, toothpaste, salt, baking soda, peroxide, then toothpaste again, and rinse with listerine & they feel as good as after i get them cleaned at the dentist!!

And now I have one! Even when the rest of our routine went kaput, I managed to brush my teeth before work and at 8pm each night.
(The reason I brush at 8pm and not before bed is so I dont snack before bed!)

Also, I make sure my toddler sees that we brush our teeth, to reinforce the norm.
