Laziness. It’s uncomfortable and at times makes me bleed or makes my mouth sore for a while. I’ve just never been able to make it a habit. Using the string floss is really annoying to me, don’t like it on my hands so I’ve purchased a brush type one… it helps.
I’ve been pretty good about flossing, but I would say laziness or being too tired would prevent me from flossing. For the most part, I try and remind myself that it doesn’t take long and that it’s good for me so that keeps me motivated to keep flossing each night.
Sometimes I find myself creating excuses for not flossing. It ranges from “brushing my teeth will be good enough” to “I’m too tired” to “I’ll do it in the morning”. All of these things are irrelevant. No matter how tired I am or convinced that I’ll get to it later, I try to remember that it’s best for me in the long run. It takes no time at all and will save me from dental bills later!
Being too tired or going to bed so late that I am only prepared to brush my teeth. Also, late night snacking. If I floss my teeth straight after dinner then I won’t snack and only drink water until bed time
I tend to skip flossing because I think it is a waste of time, which it is not and I’m just giving myself an excuse to not do it. I am currently trying making it a habit so I don’t skip it anymore.
It seems like it doesn’t do anything. Sometimes it hurts a little. Sometimes I feel too tired to do something that seems like it’s pointless
If I don’t have flossers readily available, if I’m already comfortable in bed. My solution is to keep a flosser in/near my bed haha
I’m too lazy to do it, and I don’t really care about taking care of myself. I haven’t cared my health for a couple of years. I’m inconsistent more than avoidant. I’m glad I will focus on it more now.
Too sleepy to finish the entire brushing-flossing-gargling routine. Lesson learned: plan ahead and make time. Be intentional.
Getting so tired that I’m too tired to actually do my Evening Routine. But I’ve been pretty consistent since I started using Fabulous…
