Finally an article about it

How hard it is to do hygiene routines during depressive episodes.

I have never heard of this syndrome before, but I have known old people who would fit this definition.

Flossed and scraped the tongue twice yesterday, second time as I was getting ready for bed. It sure felt nice sleeping through the night (well almost, until 5:30) with clean teeth.

Flossed and brushed yesterday. The tiny habits program has definitely been helpful as I want to be able to report that I've brushed each day.

I so much liked going to bed with flossed teeth and sleeping through the night (more typically I wake up several times) that I am repeating it tonight. Flossed, scraped my tongue AND brushed. Now, going to bed. Good night! If I encounter problems making this into a habit, I will go back to the Tiny Habits program.

Flossed and brushed yesterday. I'm starting to look forward to how my teeth feel after they've been brushed.

I have just noticed this quote from you signature, Splitimage: "If you see the wonder in a fairy tale, you can take the future even if you fail." Abba

I remember ABBA from when I was a child. Fond memories.

I loved Abba, listened to a lot of it as a kid, and still enjoy listening to them occasionally.

Brushed and flossed yesterday.

Flossed and brushed yesterday. It wasn't the best brushing in the world as I kind of rushed it as I was super tired from work, but at least I did it.

Yesterday:

Brushed once in the morning

Flossed in the morning, at bedtime and a little bit after lunch at work (our restrooms are stocked with little flossers).

Did Waterpik in late afternoon at home.

Felt great with all of that.

I continue to enjoy going to bed with flossed teeth.

I cannot brush my teeth at bedtime on most nights because I eat right before going to bed, but I sure can floss at bedtime.

Yesterday I flossed and brushed and scraped my tongue at bedtime. It is definitely much more pleasant to sleep with a completely clean mouth.

A good idea for clean teeth is to swish some hydrogen peroxode around the teeth, dont swallow it though, lol

I researched the issue of hydrogen peroxide several years ago and ultimately decided not to use it, even though I initially bought a hydrogen peroxide rinse from Amazon, but I do not remember now what the arguments against using it were, it has been several years and my memory is faulty. I then tried to donate the big bottle of the hydrogen peroxide rinse through the local Buy Nothing network but found no interested parties.

Just mentioning this to inform you that there were strong arguments against its use.

It will stain your teeth. It can be used occasionally, like to help a gum problem, but should not be used every day.
