Didn't have time to floss and scrape this morning but did brush. Plan to floss and scrape and brush after a nap, before going grocery shopping.

I have struggled in the past with dental hygiene. But, after nearly losing a tooth, I got back on the wagon because I don't want false teeth. They're expensive, and more trouble than caring for the real ones. Dental wellness is critical. Best!

I acknowledge I was in a depressive spell last night and this morning. I still have not flossed and scraped and I haven't brushed today but plan to.

I guess dental hygiene just goes when I hit depression.

It's okay to miss - I recommend doing this as a top priority when you DO have energy for self-care.

I am caught up. I was depressed and in bed all morning, but got up in the early afternoon and got my act together: flossed (it took twice as long as normally because of accumulated gunk, scraped and brushed, and then just now brushed again. The mouth feels wonderfully clean.
I hope I won't disintegrate again tomorrow morning.

Yeah, depression hits me too and I find it hard to take care of myself. So didn't floss or brush the last two days. But flossed this morning when I woke up.

I can't believe it but I am going to bed with brushed teeth tonight. I ate before 10PM and just brushed my teeth at about 10:30 PM and will go to sleep.

I do not have high hopes that I will be able to build a habit out of this isolated occurrence, but it sure feels amazing.

That's awesome.

I've had a rough couple of days and didn't manage to floss or brush for the past 2 days.

I ended up seating in the middle of the night when I woke up hungry. So I did not spend the whole night with clean teeth. I think it is because I was ravenousky hungry after a workout last night and whatever I ate for dinner was not enough.
So, it didn't work. Oh well.
