Showering and dental hygiene are definite problems for me. The showering has improved since I moved in to the master bedroom. The tooth brushing deficit has caused a lot of problems, including using my steroid inhaler. I'm supposed to brush & rinse after using the inhaler but I was skipping doses because I didn't want to brush. I made a compromise and usually just rinse. Between meds, health issues & poor dental hygiene, most of my teeth are gone and most of the remaining ones need work. It was really embarrassing trying to explain the not brushing to the last dentist I went to. It's nice to know there are others going thru this; makes me feel less like a loser.
