Is it normal to hardly brush your teeth?

I often do not brush my teeth, if anything i do it before i go to bed. I just simply never have time in the morning (I have Hypersomnia, which makes you sleep alot). I have tried to get into the habit of brushing it two times a day, but that only lasts for about a week, because i get lazy again and dont bother. Is it normal?

    Probably is normal. But def not attractive! Make a point to do it on break at work, after a meal, or even just when you go to the bathroom. You will thank yourself later in life!

    Yeah, I find myself not wanting to brush my teeth many times and I put it off a lot which is definitely not good, but honestly, I know my teeth are fine - they are just not white, white which I'm okay with.

    It is normal for some people who are unaware of the damage it could cause to not brush their teeth regulary, but you must know how important it is to brush your teeth. I understand that sometimes, you may forget. Maybe you should brush your teeth in the shower in the morning to save time? If you are forgetting, it is a good idea to set an alarm in the morning and in the evening before you go to bed to remind you to brush your teeth. It is most important to brush your teeth in the evening as you have lots of sugar that has built up on the surface of your teeth from the whole day, so make sure you brush your teeth when you know you will not be eating or drinking anything that might contain any sugar. Hope this helps.

    As you know you should do it twice a day. But, at least get in the habit of once a day with floss sticks and mouthwash. Maybe use a timer and set it for 5 minutes so you know it will only take 5 minutes and no more. It is very important not only to your oral health but overall health. Many studies have been done showing a connection between heart disease and people with bad oral hygiene. And as you know, the first sign of heart disease is often fatal.

    You will also hardly have any teeth. You will also have periodonal disease and your mouth will smell like a rotting corpse. But you do it your way.

    I think it's normal but I do recommend getting into the habit of brushing it 2 times a day.

    You really should try to brush your teeth at least twice a day. Can you do it at work? I bring a toothbrush with me, so I can brush at work. I always brush my teeth 2-4 times per day.

    This is absolutely normal, half of the population do this. They get lazy or can't be bothered. Only one problem, if you do this for too long you will end up loosing your teeth and dentures are no fun !

  • You will regret it as you get older (over 35) and your teeth start to show signs of neglect. You will have to suffer toothaches and major dental bills.

    People can tell when you don't take good care of your teeth. It's not really something anyone would ever say to you, but it's something that most people notice, especially women. We don't like furry teeth or funky breath.

    Whatever, your choice.
