@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. |

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 Gabapentin 1200 mg+Vitamin B-complex (against extrapyramidal side effects) Long term side effects from medications, some of them discontinued: - hypothyroidism - obesity BMI ~ 38 |

Very good. I do have to say, that I like how my teeth feel after I've brushed.
Flossed and brushed yesterday, Now shooting for a full week of brushing. |

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. |

"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 Gabapentin 1200 mg+Vitamin B-complex (against extrapyramidal side effects) Long term side effects from medications, some of them discontinued: - hypothyroidism - obesity BMI ~ 38 |

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 Gabapentin 1200 mg+Vitamin B-complex (against extrapyramidal side effects) Long term side effects from medications, some of them discontinued: - hypothyroidism - obesity BMI ~ 38 |
