Any MOTIVATIONAL tips on brushing my teeth everyday? I HATE brushing!?

Answer 1

Not brushing is disgusting and people won't want to be near you.

Your teeth will fall out if you don't

Is that motivating enough?

Answer 2

The best motivational tip: Look at a Cavemans smile, what do you see?

Answer: Rotten teeth

Motivation to clean teeth and floss:

You will lose teeth, even front ones (look like a Hillbilly)
Your gums will bleed (even when asleep, on your pillow)
It will cost you tons of money to fix the problems if you let it go
Dentures are not great (food gets under them, they need cleaning, they are loose at times, you dont taste your food)
Bad teeth affect your health (linked to heart problems)
Your breath will stink constantly
More procedures, more pain at Dentist.
Have you seen Old People without teeth (my mother is one)
No teeth, you get only soft food (cheese, soup, pudding etc)

Brushing cleans the surface area of the teeth. Flossing cleans the teeth under the gumline where a brush can not reach. Both are important every day. Most of my family have bad teeth and gums. I started out that way and have spent over $60,000 for repairs over the years from bad care in younger years. Now I am meticulous and feel better. You can too.

Answer 3

Not brushing can end up costing you literally thousands of dollars in repair work or tooth loss. A crown can cost $900 or more and insurance, if you have it, usually covers only half of the cost. If the money and hassle of the dentist doesn't bother you there are also other serious health concerns. Gum disease and tooth decay can cause bone deterioration of your jaw and infections. Remember that every time you take a breathe germs and bacteria in your mouth can be inhaled into your lungs and the results can be very serious. There are instances of people that have had amputations because of untreated infections from their teeth. Lots of pain and money. BRUSH!!!

Answer 4

Sure. Think of the results of not brushing...
• Do you like pain? You will have pain when your teeth decay and become abscessed.
• Your teeth will decay, and if not taken care of, make you ill.
• Missing teeth can be really ugly
• Do you like to eat? It's hard with decaying or missing teeth.
• Want to have a social life? Not brushing your teeth means really nasty breath and eventually, not a good look for making friends.

Answer 5

Brushing teeth actually feels good, get an electric toothbrush, with a 2minute timer , as the brush runs think of how good your breath will be and how painful toothaches can be.

Answer 6

Sure- Find a picture of someone without teeth. Realize that this could be you if you dont brush them on a regular basis. That should be PLENTY of motivation.

Answer 7

yeah, read the nightmare im going thorough right now

by not brushing your teeth, tooth decay will occur. and when they are gone, they are gone for good. brush and floss in the morning and in the evening every day at the very least. if it seems boring grab an ipod and do it.

also, chicks dont really go for the guys that taste bad, so you might not mind bad breath but you're definitely hurtin your chances with the ladies

good luck man, dont let it go too far and end up like me

Answer 8

Your teeth are part of what another person finds attractive in you.

If you want to be attractive to that person that you care about, then take care of yourself.

Bad oral hygiene can also lead to generalized health problems, so taking care of your teeth also helps to safeguard the health of the rest of your body.

Answer 9

Answer 10

Try losing a few teeth because of it; that'll motivate you.
