Dear Mari,

i have a similar problem.

i used to be really rigorous about my teeth until i had years of not-good-state mostly deprssion interspersed with patches of other stuff.

now i am still fighting to get into the swing.

my original routine was to brush very very well before i went to bed - whenever that was, because then your mouth sits with whatever is in it, and there is less salivation to disinfect. that is the medical argument for doing your "best brushing" before bed. and then just light onceover in he morning worked wonders. sometimes i'd brush after lunch not always.

BUT. i am having troubel gettig back as i said.

so my strategy right now is kinda vague:

SLEEP --- whenever opportunity coincides with need/sleepiness.

TEETH --- whenever i can get myself to, regardless that it might be right before dinner

meanwhile, it can help just to rinse with water after meals. will remove particles and acidic deposit that can damage teeth.

best i can do...

paddle along... paddle along.... maybe at somepoint someone will put wind in our sails....
