I have ADHD and depression, so building that oral hygiene routine was extra rough. Now that I have it, I adhere to it religiously, especially since my brain just tends to decide everything is lost, when I mess up a routine, as happened after New Year's eve, and then getting back into it is torturous.
Even worse was that my anxiety about getting judged kept me from seeing a dentist for *way* too long, which ended in me needing two root canals when I finally forced myself to get an appointment. My dentist is amazing, though, and was extremely understanding about my issues. Now I have regular checkups every 4 months and my teeth are great.

I am wearing braces and I have hard time cleaning in between my teeth especially that these interdental brushes are not available in my area. Honestly, I did not care so much about it but now after watching this informative video, I am more aware about the health issue I may encounter and the importance of keep my mouth clean. Thank you very much for this video 💛

Gum and periodontal diseases are related to liver and stomach diseases no matter how much u clean ur teeth it's not going to help u unless u fix ur internal disease.
