I didn’t brush my teeth as a child and teen because I had energy issues and I struggled to actually do them; I still struggle to do it today.

I rarely floss because it seems like a lot of work for seemingly little gains.

I got plaque again after getting teeth cleaned some weeks ago. I guess my teeth is screwed…

    I have energy issues too. It really sucks passing out because I have sinus issues too and end up breathing through my mouth when I sleep sometimes.

    Flossing daily helps me. Also using the little hook tool to scrape under the gums.

    The biggest game changer is baking soda and peroxide toothpaste though. Even if you don’t have time for a full cleaning the suds keeps your pH in balance and prevents growth for a couple hours after brushing. Regular toothpaste doesn’t do shit.

            Probably the same thing but plastic doesn’t work anywhere near as good as metal. Actually you want the tip to be really pointy sharp too, so the one in the picture I linked sucks too.
