Dental cleaning is coming up.

Welcome rgdb, glad you've found a solution that works for you.

Was completely dead when I got home from work last night, so neither brushed nor flossed. Back at it today.

brushed for the second time today and soon after (but more than 30 minutes past) did stimudent. Somehow stimudent revived this very pleasant minty flavor and feeling from the toothpaste. It was overall a great experience.

But come bedtime and I am too tired for it. Oh well.

Flossed yesterday

Did stimudent last night and it felt great to go to bed after it, but in general I expect to be too tired on some nights, being realistic

Flossing gives you an amazing feeling. Never fails. Totally agree.

I buy floss essentially in bulk from Amazon, ha!

Did the second brushing today and plan to use stimudent later tonight.

Gearing up for the dental cleaning next week.

I hope your dental cleaning goes really well. You've been doing well with the second brushing so that should show some positive results.

Again, flossed but didn't brush yesterday.

Second brushing today. I have started doing things a little differently in preparation for my road drip in California/Oregon in October. I put my floss, orange toothpaste and one tongue scraper in my new hanging toiletry tote bag.

Stanford Blood Center - Donor Portal toiletry bag

I also put two regular (manual) Dr Plotka toothbrushes in a special component for the toothbrushes which I keep unzipped.

The scraper is in a zippered meshed component.

I now do my dental care routines in the bathroom and use the timer on my phone. In the past I used the timer on the microwave in the kitchen.

I also used to toss the used tongue scrapers (I have many) into the DW. But I won't have a DW on the trip. So I now wash the tongue scraper immediately upon use with dish soap and put it into the mesh compartment and next day it is dry.

I need to stop by a drugstore and buy a travel size bottle of dish soap and put it into the hanging toiletry bag.

I am making these changes to develop a new habit seamlessly, so that when I do go on the trip, it won't be jarring to me.

Sounds like you are setting up a good routine, both for now and on your trip.

Flossed yesterday.
