@Tart Cherry Jam, Yes I'm really trying to be consistent this time. Signed up for another 5 day Tiny Habits program and so far so good.
Flossed and brushed again yesterday. __________________  "I danced in the morning when the world was begun. I danced in the moon and the stars and the sun". From my favourite hymn. "If you see the wonder in a fairy tale, you can take the future even if you fail." Abba

tonight is one of those rare nights when I am able to do the 2nd brushing right before going to bed.
It certainly feels wonderful. __________________ Bipolar I w/psychotic features Last inpatient stay in 2018 Geodon 40 mg Seroquel 75 mg Lybalvi 5 mg as a PRN Gabapentin 1200 mg, Vitamin B-complex (against extrapyramidal side effects) Long term side effects from medications some of them discontinued: - hypothyroidism - obesity Suspected narcolepsy Treated with Ritalin 5mg |

Very good. I do have to say, that I like how my teeth feel after I've brushed.

One of my upper side teeth hurts when I brush. It does not bother me otherwise. I will report it at my next cleaning in a couple of weeks. Maybe I need a filling?

@rjdb, When's your next dentist appointment? Could you maybe call their office and see if you can get in earlier?
Flossed, brushed, and rinsed with antibacterial mouthwash yesterday. In good news my gums have stopped bleeding when I brush. I've signed up for another 5 day Tiny Habits program to help me keep it going. __________________ "I danced in the morning when the world was begun. I danced in the moon and the stars and the sun".

@rjdb, in that case I hope you get in soon.
Flossed, brushed but forgot to use the mouthwash yesterday. __________________ "I danced in the morning when the world was begun. I danced in the moon and the stars and the sun". From my favourite hymn. "If you see the wonder in a fairy tale, you can take the future even if you fail." Abba

"Should I use mouthwash? Using a mouthwash that contains fluoride can help prevent tooth decay, but don't use mouthwash (even a fluoride one) straight after brushing your teeth or it'll wash away the concentrated fluoride in the toothpaste left on your teeth. Choose a different time to use mouthwash, such as after lunch. Don't eat or drink for 30 minutes after using a fluoride mouthwash." __________________ Bipolar I w/psychotic features Last inpatient stay in 2018 Geodon 40 mg Seroquel 75 mg Lybalvi 5 mg as a PRN Gabapentin 1200 mg, Vitamin B-complex (against extrapyramidal side effects) Long term side effects from medications some of them discontinued: - hypothyroidism - obesity Suspected narcolepsy Treated with Ritalin 5mg |

Thanks for the info @Tart Cherry Jam. I'll remember that going forward.
Yesterday was rough, managed to floss but not brush. __________________ "I danced in the morning when the world was begun. I danced in the moon and the stars and the sun". From my favourite hymn. "If you see the wonder in a fairy tale, you can take the future even if you fail." Abba

Better day yesterday, I flossed and brushed, right before bed and rinsed with the antibacterial mouthwash in the afternoon.

An article in the New York Times about tooth enamel: What Causes Weak Teeth, and You Can Strengthen Your Enamel? - The New York Times
Requires subscription mentions needing to wait 30-60 minutes after eating before you brush, among other things __________________ Bipolar I w/psychotic features Last inpatient stay in 2018 Geodon 40 mg Seroquel 75 mg Lybalvi 5 mg as a PRN Gabapentin 1200 mg, Vitamin B-complex (against extrapyramidal side effects) Long term side effects from medications some of them discontinued: - hypothyroidism - obesity Suspected narcolepsy Treated with Ritalin 5mg |
