2nd brushing entirely thanks to our thread. I am feeling a little down this evening and would have forgotten to brush my teeth had this thread not reminded me.

Way to go on doing the 2nd brushing. Glad you find this thread helpful. I do too, as I really want to be able to come here and post that I've flossed/brushed.

Flossed last night, and brushed this morning.

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.
