I need to do this. Badly.
Or at least make it not feel like a chore.
I think I must have been traumatized as a kid or maybe I was never told how serious it is, or something, because I hate brushing my teeth. It's just... I dunno. My mindset is really weird towards brushing teeth. It just... it lies to me. Tells me things I know that aren't true, so I don't know why I'm thinking them anyways.
Anyways, I need to like to brush my teeth. I've been trying to pump my self up to do it, but that doesn't work. I've been trying to scare me into brushing my teeth, but it won't work. I've tried looking at my own teeth to scare me into it more, but it just makes me sad.
Do you guys have any idea on how to make it fun? 'Cause yeah.
My teeth are terrible. I don't think you could see in any picture I've taken, but... yeah. I just... yeah. They're terrible. And I know I can't reverse it, but I want it to stop. I just... yeah.
Please?

Try turning on some music that's about 2 minutes long then play it when you brush your teeth it helps me as I'm busy dancing to the song or humming the words to notice the toothpaste (I HATE mint therefore I HATE brushing since its the only toothpaste flavor there is unless your like 6 then you get this AWESOME strawberry stuff they sell at the supermarket down here..)
Best of luck

I don't like brushing my teeth either, so some ideas to make it funish:
~*~ Get good tasting toothpaste
~*~ Get a funky toothbrush (I has a rainbow one c smile
~*~ Do something while brushing (Listen to music, dance etc)
~*~ Make a game outta it (I dunno how, but try :3)
Somethings I do :3 I like listening to music while brushing
Maybe you could give one of them a shot? :3
I hope you find a way to make brushing teeth fun <3

Looking at pictures like this this and this should help, do you want your teeth to start decaying and rotting in your skull? I have the same problem, and I have had to have a lot of work done on my teeth because of it. I've had teeth pulled, root canals, teeth break apart, re-constructive surgery on my teeth. It's horrible, brush, floss and use mouthwash everyday. Don't end up like me.I cant even eat ice cream without crying because it hurts so bad.

First off, I'm glad I'm not the only one who hates brushing teeth. ; O ;
I guess it's because everybody on TV and videogames and stuff are like "I've gotta go brush my teeth! -thousand watt grin-".
@ Testi;
Yeah, I've got some work done too. Mostly cavities filled, but I've had quite a few teeth pulled. Mostly because my mouth is too small and it doesn't fit all of them, but also because the babies didn't want to fall out on their own. I've also had a tooth broken apart, and they had to pull out the left over pieces too, but that one was also a baby. I'm terrified of root canals.
And my parents are on both ends of the spectrum. My dad has all of his pearly whites, and he brushes and flosses all the time. [ but his breath stinks for some reason? ]
And my Mom has 0 top teeth, dentures for those, and her bottom teeth are rotting already. She got her dentures in her 30s and she's 51 or something and has almost no teeth of her own left.
So far I'm trying to brush at least once a day, and I usually use mouthwash when I brush at night. I need more mouthwash though.
Um, I was thinking I guess I can kind of turn it into a game, but I don't know how. I was thinking of getting all psychological on it. I don't get a kiss from my bf if I don't brush in the morning, and if I don't brush/mouthwash at night then I don't get... I dunno. I haven't thought of that part yet. Maybe I don't get sex or something, I dunno. I don't get to sleep if I don't brush my teeth at night? I guess. D'x

Oh lord. o-o
So I'm sorry your mom has no top teeth ... but tooth decay is genetic. Not that you'll end up with no top teeth because your mom didn't brush, but there could be a predisposition in your genetics. @_@ So ... start brushing, even if you hate it. D:
I like CandiiRose's idea. Pick a song you like that's between 2-3 minutes long and just brush away until the song's over. It'll make it go by a lot faster. :]

Yeah... I just, ugh. Yeah.
I know I need to start brushing. And I need to think of the positives.
Like, if I start brushing regularly, then my gums will get stronger, and I'll be able to get some kind of braces so my teeth will be straighter.
My mom said she only messed up her teeth because she simply didn't brush when she was a kid. I hope that's true, I guess, but I dunno. I don't know how her teeth were, but my great-grandmother has two sets of dentures, but she said that she didn't need to get rid of all of them. She said that the dentists had told her it would be better if she did, but she regrets listening to them. She's about 90 something, and has one left, but it's hard for her bottom dentures 'cause they have nothing to hold on to.
You know?
Ugh. I'm rambling.
Genean! Brush your Teeth! Your teeth command it! D'x

That's what I do too. I put on a dancy song and hum, dance and brush. Also, I like to have "Tooth Brush Parties!" usually if I have friends sleeping over, with my sister, or when on the phone with my boyfriend. smile

How about setting up a goal?
Like if you brush your teeth for a week straight you get a new movie, or a new shirt.
If I manage to brush mine for a month straight I'm going to go get my tongue pierced. XD

Yeah, I've been trying that but I can't think of anything.
I have no idea what I might want or something.
Maybe dying my hair or something. I want a tattoo [or two], and a nose piercing but I'm getting it anyways when I get a job.
