I do use it to remind me to actually floss, I’m a type 1 diabetic so teeth health is a must for me, and I’m super bad at remember to floss, I don’t use the actual string, we have sticks? They’re called plackers, it has a toothpick on one end and floss on the other and I carry them around in my pocket and when I remember too floss I do, but the reminder is super helpful, especially at night. I totally feel you on that depression train, I couple this app with another app that I’ve been using to try and get control of my eating disorder. Structure is super helpful for me. The good part is were working on it 🖤
Greetings- Unfortunately I have gum disease because I did not floss like I should have when I was young… So I must brush my teeth twice a day and floss at night. I also use a water pick floss machine to wash away any residual food particles between my teeth. You can buy a water pick machine on Amazon. My gum health is much better and my dentist is impressed. I would highly recommend flossing at least once a day! Your dentist can give you tips on how to floss around your retainer. You can also look up YouTube videos on how to floss. Talking care of your teeth and gums leads to whole body health. Hope this helps. 🦷🖤
I use it to actually floss, and by habit I floss every single day! I also have permanent retainers (wires) behind my teeth and cannot thread behind them, so I use a normal flosser and just angle it into my teeth and floss as best as I can. Flossing and brushing your teeth are very important for your overall health, and they only take a few minutes to complete. Keep up the good work, you’re doing great!
Haha hello ! Where are u from ? I use it as a reminder to brush my teeth too 😅 thought I was the only one.. I usually forget to or just skip it but this app with their timer made me do it! Why depressed ?
I’m not American but I use the reminder to actually floss, alongside brushing my teeth. I suffer from depression too and I found thread flossing very unpleasant in the past, which made forming a habit very difficult, but I’ve since switched to a water flossing device and it’s made the process much nicer. I love the clean feeling in my mouth and kinda look forward to it now. I’d definitely recommend water flossing if you haven’t tried it before. It’s more compatible with braces too.
I have a brush and a floss reminder on mine. My dentist said that a water pick flosser would be ideal for braces. There are some options that are relatively inexpensive. I’ve also found that my teeth start feeling gross if I don’t brush them. American Dentists advise that we brush twice a day and floss once. So I only floss in the mornings. I have also struggled with developing a brushing habit at all. I understand depression making things hard, I find ways to reward myself, if you like stickers maybe a calendar in the bathroom to put stars on, more steps usually doesn’t help me though so I reward myself with chocolate. If its darker there’s less sugar and thus not counterproductive. :] good luck! I’m here cheering for you!
I don’tusually floss my teach but I brush my teeth twice just to make it cleaner. For the first time, I rinse my mouth with water and brush my teeth without toothpaste for 40 seconds; for the second time, I apply toothpaste and brush away.
I recently took my braces off so that is why I am able to floss.usually when I travel to find motivation to brush my teeth or do self care, I put my headphones on and listen to my favourite song. But another song I should be done brushing teeth and all
I use it to remind me to floss. I’ve often forgot to floss after brushing my teeth. Additionally, the constant reminder to floss means I’ll always be thinking of restocking floss when I am low.
I believe there is a brush your teeth reminder. I use the floss one to either use my water flosser. Or lately it’s been my reminder to do oil pulling before brushing my teeth.
