Do y’all have any tips and tricks about getting in a routine and brushing your teeth? I was not raised in that routine and I hate my parents because of it.
Graduating in a few hours very proud… I still forgot to brush my teeth😂

I'm super bad at establishing habits. so instead I really focus on the feeling of not having brushed my teeth and how gross it feels and how bad my breath must be. so basically I make myself feel so bothered I have to do it lol

something that helped me was finding a mouthwash i like to use. make it fun to incentivize the task for yourself/ give yourself some sort of gratification for doing it to reinforce the habit

set reminders on your phone, if your sensitive to strong scents get a flavor that isn’t mint (i use cinnamon flavored toothpaste), & electric toothbrushes are more efficient than manuals

i brush my teeth in the shower so at a minimum i’m at least brushing them once a day which is better than not at all! most conditioners say to let it sit in your hair for 2-3 minutes and i have an electric toothbrush that uses a 2 minute timer so bam after conditioner i brush my teeth while i wait

I do the same. I also make it a point to keep my toothbrush near me when I’m showering because then it becomes part of that ritual more often.
