A brush all the teeth reminder blog

A couple daily reminders to keep up on your oral hygiene! All the reminders are queued and scheduled to post 7 times a day. Hopefully no matter where you live, you get a reminder at the right time for you to brush and floss. Turn on notifications on this and it could be your regular daily reminder.

Welcome!

You can call me Ms Brosser (she/her) in case it helps you to give a name to the account, and not a child. I'm just a person living in the Canadian prairies and I care deeply for your oral health and want the best for you. Always here cheering you on.

I'm not a dental professional, I just grew up with terrible teeth so have spent lots of time talking to my dentist and dental hygienist trying to make sure my teeth stay healthy. And I've learned a lot along the way. I have also watched my parents live a lifetime of pain and heartache because of lack of knowledge on how to properly care for their teeth. So I'm deeply invested in helping as many people as I can.

This blog started because I randomly decided to blaze a brush your teeth reminder post that blew up. From there I started this blog and have been setting reminders since. (brosser les dents is French for brush the teeth, since brush your teeth was already taken) so this is an account that sets reminders and provides education. It won't be for everyone and I can only truly speak from my own experience.

I welcome asks and there are no stupid questions. If you're wondering, chances are someone else is wondering too. Some things are obviously way beyond my knowledge, but if I know something that will help, I'll be happy to try. But from time to time, I will have to close the ask box. So you can CHECK THE STATUS OF THE ASKBOX HERE.

I've also started compiling an FAQ. It's a work in progress. You can find it here.

If you see any posts related to oral hygiene that would benefit other people, please don't hesitate to tag me.

There is swag.

Lastly, I have tagged this specific post with my most used tags. Mostly for myself. But if you're looking for asks, they'll all be tagged.

Good luck everyone. We're all in this together and I look forward to continuing on this journey with you.

BRUSH AND FLOSS YOUR TEETH!

pH balance in your mouth, and how it affects your teeth! Inspired by my dentist scolding me for my daily energi drink consumption, cause it’s apparently detrimental to the health of my enamel… whatever that means

why does battery acid have to taste so good…

Doing stuff "childish" is okay and even good actually

- If using plates and silverware meant for kids means you will eat more often and/or find more joy out of eating, good! *

- If using a divided plate means you are going to feel more comfortable eating, good!

- If having a water bottle with your favorite character/show on it means you are going to drink more water, good!

- If having children's toothbrushes and toothpaste means you are going to brush your teeth more often, good!

- If watching tooth brushing videos aimed at kids makes brushing more enjoyable/helps prompt you to brush correctly, good!

- If taking a stuffed animal or other toy out with you means you are going to feel a little safer, good!

- If using a nightlight (esp one with characters on it) makes you feel safer and helps you sleep better, good!

- If you find coloring in books made for children/simpler pictures more enjoyable, good!

- If decorating your living space with "childish" things with characters or bright colors is going to make your space more enjoyable/usable, good!

- If using organization systems and prompts aimed at children is going to help you actually use them, good!

- If you enjoy media aimed at children, and it brings you joy and makes your days a little easier, good!

No matter what your age is, you are allowed to use the things that bring joy into your life or make your life easier to manage. You do not need to "grow up" or "do it like an adult". You can do it in whatever way works best for you. There should be no shame in it. I think some of us want to beat the allegations that autism makes us more "childlike" thinking it makes us more palatable, when having "age-inappropriate interests" are a commonly known trait. It is normal to have autistic traits when you have autism. You don't need to hide it or pretend you don't. Yes I know not all autistics are interested in this stuff either but that's not my focus

* also there have been studies done that people tend to absorb more nutrition from foods they enjoy, so you are doing yourself a huge favor by making eating fun!

I had a thought

[ohabeeeeeee]

@brosser-les-dents he's not brushing, but at least he looks stylish!

[brosser-les-dents]

For the rest of us, remember to brush and floss! 😂

Don't tell him

[brosser-les-dents]

This is so cute, stahp!

Yes, brushing with a buddy can help make sure you do it!

[brosser-les-dents]

I'm gonna just drop this little note right here.

Note reads: Remember to brush and floss!

I had a several months long brushing streak thanks to this blog, that ended due to mental health dipping down, as it does. But I managed to get so consistent! And I know I can do that again! I've recently picked up teeth brushing again, with a side of flossing, and I am excited to see how long the streak will last this time

So, thank you!

[brosser-les-dents]

Yes you can always start again!

It's the 2nd of may as I'm writing this, and just in case anyone needs to hear this:

Brushing your teeth 3-4 times a year is still better than nothing. If you promised yourself that you'd do better this year and already fell off the wagon in january, go do it now, even if you can't manage it every day.

Once a week is better than never. Once a month is better than never. Hell, once a year is better than never. If you can't do perfect, better than nothing is better than nothing. Go brush your teeth.

Our new cactus chewable is made of soft flexible silicone suitable for chewing, fidgeting, sucking on or even brushing your teeth with! The 3 arms of this cactus chewable each have a different texture:

the long center arm features a soft toothbrush style brush on the front and grooves running the full length of the back

the right arm has a pattern of raised rectangles on both sides

the left arm has a low profile circle pattern on both sides

Photo descriptions: All four photos show a saguaro style cactus shaped silicone chewable on a plain white background. The center arm of the cactus is the tallest and has a toothbrush style brush on the front with a plain back side. The side arms are equally tall, coming up to the bottom of the brush on the center arm. The right arm has a pattern of raised rectangles at the top of both sides and the left arm has a pattern of rings at the top of both sides. The rest of the cactus is covered in long grooves running up the length of each arm from bottom to just below the textured areas. There is a hole pierced through the bottom of the stem.

Photo one is front view of a blue cactus chewable, photo 2 is a ¾ side view of a blue cactus chewable, photo 3 is a front view of a beige cactus chewable and photo 4 is a front view of a green cactus chewable.

Remember to brush and floss everyone!

Check out these sick toothbrushes!

Thank you for sharing with me @averyroundbird! They sent me the link too. X

Remember if cool ass toothbrushes will get you to brush more consistently, then do it! There's nothing wrong with adding joy and whimsy to your life.

Having an incremental progression at building up a toothbrushing routine again and finding it really difficult to floss regularly. Wanted to share that I found it extremely effective to just leave the floss by your bed and a little towel to wipe it and just do it in bed after you brush! You don’t really need a sink to do it and honestly I am tired after standing all day so it’s changing the game

Tooth fairy but for your permanent adult teeth! Inspired by my dentist telling me I can’t have energy drinks because their acidity is turning my mouth into a nuclear war zone.

its friday. if you don't normally floss, today is a great day to make an exception, since it's flossing friday! get rid of some of the built up mats of bacteria between your teeth that brushing and mouthwash have a hard time to deal with on their own, help prevent them from setting up camp beneath your gums, where they can erode your bones and lead to teeth falling out if left untreated. help save yourself a future doctors visit!

Remember to brush and floss the ass cracks of your teeth!
