I am one of the worst teeth-brushers out there. I can’t even remember the last time I brushed my teeth. I go to the dentist two or three times a year, thankfully I’ve only had a cavity once, but each and every time my dentist tells me how lucky I am to not have gum disease already and that unless I want dentures by the time I’m 35 I really need to start brushing every day. I’ve tried to start a daily regimen of oral hygiene care but alas my supreme laziness has thwarted my efforts yet again.
People doing this are also doing these things:

I’m getting way better at this! I could probably mark it off soon

I need to love my teeth, yes love and respect them :D
after all, they help me eat, which I really love to do.
To inspire myself, I’ll write a poem.
Teeth.
I was born without teeth
It made me weep
until they grew out of my jaw
they were white and strong
but it didn’t take long
for my power to bring it’s decay
all day and all night
I did not treat them right
brushing not twice or once
I ate tons of sweets
and tortured those teeth
brushing (maybe) every few weeks.
scorned and abused
my poor teeth felt used
and soon could take no more
they grew full of holes
and would have sold their soles
for little floss or mouth rinse
too late to fix it now
time for a root canal
good thing this is a hypothetical
I’m gonna go brush em right now!
OK, I want to get back on track with this. I’ve gotten a lot better recently at the whole “taking care of self” thing (I think working in cosmetics has alot to do with that), but I still have trouble hitting this every day. My breath doesn’t really smell, and my mouth doesn’t really feel dirty when it’s been a couple days, so it’s hard to remember. And I have a habit of just dropping off at night. I think it’s probably easier for me to remember this in the morning. Also, I’ve decided it’s unnecessary for me to refrain from eating after brushing teeth; part of that is simply that I HATE the taste of toothpaste, and so I always feel like I need to put something in my mouth after. The way I figure it, not brushing for 3 days is worse than brushing and immediately eating.
If there was a way for me to figure out how to actually LIKE brushing, that would be nice.
I missed the 20th-23rd:( I think. I know that I dropped off fully clothed quite a bit during band camp, simply because I was exhausted. Well, I’ll say that if I brush from now until the 15th, I’ll still pass it off.
