Not only 2nd brushing today, but yesterday, I flossed twice, and today, at work, I use those single plastic flossers after lunch. They are not as good as true floss but still something towards keeping our teeth clean and healthy.

Got my permanent crown in tooth 31. In June, we will start working on getting a new contemporary crown for the adjacent tooth 30. Overall, I have 4 old crowns that eventually will need replacement. For now, the one over tooth 30 needs it the most. I hope the others can wait.

Glad you got your permanent crown, and good luck with replacing the old ones.


Flossed but didn't brush yesterday.

Brushed and flossed yesterday, but didn't do them together. I brushed during the day and then flossed as usual before bed. I'm going to see if I can make that pattern work.

Did not have time for the 2nd brushing today, but did the second flossing, with Waterpik, right now before bedtime. My mouth feels so great!

Brushed and flossed again yesterday. Splitting them up seems to make them feel more manageable. We'll see how it goes.

Thanks. Did them at the same time. And yesterday I again managed to floss and brush, but at separate times.

Flossed for the 2nd time today before bedtime the mouth feels so good.

Did not do 2nd brushing, though.

My Oral B electronic toothbrush is Bluetooth, it turns out. Now it gives me guidance and scores as I brush. I am approaching close to full coverage and I am occasionally guilty of overpressure. I will continue brushing while guided and hope to improve further.

Was hungry at night, had to eat, negating the positive effects of flossing and brushing at bedtime yesterday evening.

Today, did Waterpik and then put two Xylitol mints, lemon flavor, in my mouth. It feels great now.

Yay!

Flossed twice, but didn't brush yesterday. I'm starting another 5 day tiny habits program to see if I can tackle the brushing.
