    I’m weirdly upset / bothered if I’m not very clean when I climb into my sheets

    I mean, the normal thing to do is showering every day and brushing your teeth twice a day. If you only brush your teeth once a day, that’s still less than you should, so it only helps if you’re the type who would go a day or more without brushing your teeth even once (this is extremely rare for me, but it happens pretty often that I only brush once per day).

      I wear a mouth guard and sometimes I brush my teeth in the morning (without toothpaste, though) after scrubbing my mouth guard … but it’s not consistent.

      And yeah, once a day isn’t ideal, but it’s better than the less than once a day I was at before 😞

      That said, I do eat a rather healthy diet with lots of fiber and vegetables, and my dentists have always said I have remarkably clean teeth (even before I started brushing my teeth once a day, lol - I always found that ironic).

      My dentists have also told me to brush less vigorously, but I’ve always used the softest brushes, and I brush usually once or twice a day, so I don’t know what else to do (I don’t think I’m brushing that hard, tbh).
