How often do you brush your teeth? Sure, we’ve all been told the ‘twice-a-day’ , but how many of us strictly follow it?

Are there any cultures out there with alternative practices that still maintain good oral health?

I’m intrigued to hear your brushing habits, thoughts on this, and any interesting findings you’ve stumbled upon.

    I’m right there with you.

    I’ve had good and bad periods of my life, with regard to how well I treat my teeth.

    Currently trying to curb a bad period. Brushing daily is a struggle.

    I put out reminders and set alarms on my phone.

    But depression is a hell of a thing and it can honestly be surprising when I realize it’s been a week of ignoring my alarms and reminders.

    My hygienist has been thoughtful about my mental health situation. But I always feel terrible before a trip to the dentist.

    I was once a flossing consistently, bruising 2-3 times a day rope guy.

    Trying to get back there. But everything is up hill and some things suffer.
