How do you deal with dental health? (lemmy.ml)

I didn't brush my teeth as a child and teen because I had energy issues and I struggled to actually do them; I still struggle to do it today.

I rarely floss because it seems like a lot of work for seemingly little gains.

I got plaque again after getting teeth cleaned some weeks ago. I guess my teeth is screwed...

Keeping track of my brushing and flossing helped me become consistent. I use the Android application Loop Habit Tracker. It might also be helpful to designate a set time for brushing, say, right after waking up.

I was going to say literally the same. What a great app. Btw it's better to brush after breakfast. (at least imho since if done before breakfast would taste like thootpaste ..)_

My usually breakfast is black coffee with cold oats in milk, which uh, doesn't leave much room for a toothpaste flavor :) but yeah, brushing afterwards is typically nicer; I was just too inconsistent to make it work
