How do you deal with dental health? (lemmy.ml)

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...

"Can you keep your toothbrush, and a bottle of water and something to spit into, near where you sleep, if you don’t usually get to the bathroom before sleeping?"

Yes.

"Or if you do make it there,"

I usually don't.

"could you get out your toothbrush and toothpaste in advance, when you’ve got more energy, so there’s not so many steps when you’re in there when you’re tired?"

Probably. I haven't tried that out though.

"Do you have mouthwash, as a quick fix if you’re too shattered for brushing and flossing?"

Yes, but I'm uncertain if the mouthwash actually does anything.
