Two things. I don’t think you ever welcomed me to your cult (you may have and I never saw but I also have a shit memory) But that’s besides the point.

What type of toothpaste flavours do you think the Yellowjackets would use?

Misty - some type of kid toothpaste flavored like cotton candy or bubble gum OR just straight up some fluoride toothpaste because it’s “better” for her teeth.

Nat - same with van ngl

Tai - same with laura lee in my opinion no idea

Lottie - totally uses the toothpaste tablets so she doesn’t have to waste plastic

Jackie- SHED SO SPEND SO MUCH MONEY ON WHITENING TOOTHPASTE AND THOSE WHITENING STRIPS- you cannot lie.

Shauna - would def just use some strong ass mint toothpaste. she’d fight the pain for some white teeth

Van - the cheapest they do not GIVE a fuck as long as it’s doing the job

Laura lee - would HAVE some dentist approved sensitive toothpaste or straight up something natural

- shauna would so call out jackie for wasting her money on those whitening strips n stuff knowing damn well it’s prob just a money grab -

Aw it's good we use the same, now I kinda have an idea of what you smell like.^^ I dont really care for coconut scented things but i love coconut flavored things actually a lot^^ I dont really like lavender as a smell much. Ive never had a plushy like that, that sounds like a really cool concept! It really does smell nice, and It was handmade too so it had really pretty Grey and black and white swirls in it. Whenever I got the chance to use it, I also found out it had coffee grounds in it too. Probably for exfoliation or whatever other benefits fo coffee can have for the skin. Lol you can never have too much chapstick. I have a snack sized bag of just peppermint ones cause whenever I go to the store I always steal some cause they're like 4$ a tube and that's crazy. Plus i mean i need a lot so i can have it year round^^ im not a klepto /j. I love the orange sherbert chapstick, though i never actually used it. I just had it around to smell lol. Then it got put in the washer and dryer- so that sucked. But I love orange sherbet ice cream a lot- ooh now I wanna try marshmallow fluff with that kinda ice cream too. I don't like peaches either, funny enough given where I live. (The peach state) I've never seen honeycomb ice cream before, it sounds good^^ What's tablet though? I'm kinda bad with mint too cause my teeth are sensitive and it hurts a bit, but i love mint chocolate icecream so much, i just persevere it lol. I also really really hate adult toothpaste, but kids stuff doesnt really work, so i gotta use it lol.

-ike<3

^–^ yes ! I like both !! Actually . just yesterday I bought a little bag of coconut sprinkles / shavings, which are probably supposed to be used for cakes, just to eat because I like them !! I think you can probably buy other smells, I just always happen to see lavendar ones ! aaaa that is so cool !! I think . I'd want to buy it just to have, not to even use !! I always really like watching people talk about their handmade soaps on tiktok and stuff, they always look really nice ! Coffee is good for the skin ? I didn't know that ! I think that's fair, it's good to stock up ! and I think it's fair you just steal them as well, it sounds pretty expensive ! I really like buying them for the smells as well, I used to carry one about with me just to show off to everyone how good it smelt ! I think it was . vanillia ? But I don't think I actually knew. . . it looked very cute, though ! It was a pale blue egg shape with white stripes, it came with a matching pink strawberry one !! I haven't either, or didn't ! I found it a couple months ago, it's really nice !!! Tablet is like fudge, but different ? It's very sugary and a little hard but not really ! It's a little crumbly, too. It's one of my favourite things ever, it's so nice ! You see it in shops a lot where I live, you should definitely try it if you ever get the chance ! Unless you don't like super sweet things, then, you might not like it but ! I know what you mean, I try my best when using the adult one but it like . actually burns, I try my best not to like, tatse it because I feel like it makes it worse but . it is quite hard . I make quite a lot of strange faces when using it, or at least my family has said so

Disability talk for a minute, specifically about autism

I'm autistic.

It has disabled me in some ways.

The biggest way, to me, is the inability to brush my teeth.

Sensory issues mean typical mint toothpaste is too strong and I would gag. When the choices are an emetophobia warning or not brushing my teeth, I come out a loser either way.

Bad dental genetics don't fucking help.

And my mother never bothered to figure out WHY I had the sensory issue. I figured it out when I was 27. I ran out of my toothpaste and had to use my mother's Pepsodent or whatever it's called. It's a $1 toothpaste and has very little flavor. I was able to brush my teeth without gagging.

Now I have the pain issue from toothpaste being cold at room temp.

But I've improved a lot by switching to tablets.

I've improved so much that my teeth, though getting cavities from years of neglect and the newer addition of GERD, are much whiter than they used to be. I'm no longer ashamed of their coloration.

Less thrilled about how crooked they are buuuuut I can still eat and speak and breathe fine so they're not a priority for my dentist.

It shocked me tonight, flossing dinner out of my teeth, when I saw just how much whiter they've become just from switching to tablets toothpastes. I pay twice as much for these little shits but since my sensory only lets me brush once a day anyway (better than not at all!) it tastes twice as long. And it's pre-measured!

There are options. There is accessibility. There are ways. It's just taken time to figure something out because no one talked to me about how disabilities can make it hard/impossible to take care of basic hygiene. I get it, kind of. It's embarrassing to admit that. But man, talking about it is super important.

[whispering-woods]

Scrubbing salts, activated charcoal, and baking soda are all abrasive. They all roughen up and remove the enamel of your teeth, resulting in a higher risk of cavities and gum disease.

Kids toothpaste/mouthwash are a better alternative if the standard mint flavor isn't for you. You can find both in different flavors and with different levels of alcohol and fluoride to help protect your teeth. There are also options like Sensodyne, which still has a mint flavor but it's much milder than most toothpastes.

There are also plaque disclosing tablets/mouthwashes, which can help you be more intentional when you do care for your teeth

I have trouble taking care of my teeth because everything that involves doing that is a sensory nightmare. I decide to do some research to see if there's anything I can do about this. The results?

"How to make your autistic child brush their teeth"

"Autistic Children and Sensory issues relating to tooth brushing"

"How to get your little shit to brush his fucking teeth"

Like, yeah Google, thanks, that really helps. And like, even if I was a child, some of the advice seemed... unhelpful. Like, doing a dance and singing a song while brushing your teeth? Even for a kid, I don't think that would help distract from a sensory experience as intense as brushing your teeth. Like, the extremely intense and unpleasant flavor, the intense feeling of the brush against your teeth scraping across it, even mouthwash has such an intense and disgusting flavor that I have difficulty keeping it in my mouth for more than a few seconds. I wish there was SOMETHING that could be done.

North America Toothpaste Tablet Market Analysis, Market Size, In-Depth Insights, Growth and Forecast 2021-2026

The sale of toothpaste tablets in North America is witnessing a significant surge as a large portion of the population embraces stringent personal hygiene standards. According to Fairfield Market research analyst, the global value of the toothpaste tablets market is projected to reach an impressive US$152.3 million by 2026, experiencing a robust CAGR of 6.8% during the period from 2021 to 2026. This trend reflects the growing awareness of oral health benefits and the adoption of innovative personal care routines among consumers.

  In today's fast-paced world, individuals are increasingly seeking agile solutions to fulfill their corporate and social commitments. Grooming practices have consequently evolved, with toothpaste tablets emerging as a convenient alternative to traditional toothpaste tubes. These tablets enable individuals to maintain oral hygiene on the go, eliminating the need for the time-consuming and static practice of brushing and rinsing. Whether driving or attending important calls, consumers can conveniently consume toothpaste tablets, making them highly appealing to those with busy schedules and personal commitments. Furthermore, toothpaste tablets are packaged in glass bottles that can be easily carried in bags or even apparel, enhancing their portability. 

Recognizing the potential apprehensions of loyalists of toothpaste tubes, manufacturers are diversifying their offerings to cater to consumer preferences. Mint and cinnamon flavors, popular among the masses, are being experimented with by several manufacturers to mitigate any resistance to toothpaste tablets. This conservative approach to manufacturing is expected to yield greater returns, as consumers are increasingly open to trying new oral care products available in these flavors. 

One of the key advantages of toothpaste tablets is their zero use of preservatives, differentiating them from traditional toothpaste formulations. Preservatives such as sodium benzoate and paraben, commonly found in traditional toothpastes, can have harmful effects when consumed over prolonged periods. By eliminating preservatives and fluoride content, which can also be toxic if consumed repeatedly, toothpaste tablets offer a healthier and safer alternative. These factors contribute to the expected significant growth in sales across the global toothpaste tablets market. 

In Europe, the toothpaste tablets market is poised for substantial opportunities as environmentally friendly packaging standards gain traction worldwide. Research has indicated that toothpaste tubes generate high volumes of waste that often end up in water bodies or landfills. In contrast, toothpaste tablets packaged in easily recyclable glass jars are reinventing greener standards of oral hygiene in the market. Several Scandinavian countries in Europe are prioritizing and incentivizing green packaging standards, contributing to the growth of the toothpaste tablets market. Furthermore, the vegan oral brand 'Hello' plans to introduce its new line of nature-friendly toothpaste tablets in the UK. 

Prominent market players operating in the global toothpaste tablet market include The Humble Co., Colgate Palmolive Company, Nelson Naturals INC., Weldental LLC, DENTABBS GmbH, Bite, Lush Cosmetics Company, Kaylaan LLC, Georganics, and PÄRLA Toothpaste Tablets. 

As the North American toothpaste tablet market gains momentum, driven by the increasing demand for convenient oral care solutions and a focus on personal hygiene standards, it is poised for substantial growth. With an estimated value of US$152.3 million by 2026 and a robust CAGR of 6.8%, the toothpaste tablet market in North America is set to flourish in the coming years.

[8-evil-annoying-catboys]

i have an addition, since i did see mention of sensory issues for toothbrushes but not for toothpaste: there are several options to remedy this.

if it’s the grittiness, try kids’ toothpaste, that usually isn’t as gritty and harsh.

if it’s just the texture of ANY paste (or it’s the grittiness but you don’t like kids’ toothpaste bc of flavor or whatever else), i’ve found that toothpaste tablets are WAY better for me, you crush them with your teeth and then use a wet toothbrush to brush your teeth. my preference is charcoal bc i don’t like mint toothpaste v much but my experience with them is limited, there can easily be other flavors i haven’t seen.

if neither of those options works for you, then you should know that you can also just brush without toothpaste. as long as you use water and you move your toothbrush in small circles close to your gum line (including electric toothbrushes, if you can’t do that then you can try to at least hold them against your teeth as close to your gum line as you can, but small circles, if you can manage them, are best) then you’ll get it basically just as clean as you would with toothpaste. and, regardless of your technique, brushing your teeth with water consistently is always going to be better than very rarely brushing your teeth but always with toothpaste.

there’s no need to torture yourself, you should make it as painless as possible to brush your teeth or you’ll never do it! something is better than nothing!

This post is going to talk in depth about dental/oral hygiene and ways to (hopefully) make it easier. There will be a summary at the end- look for the bold orange text. This post is aimed at other disabled people, but abled folk are welcome too (just don’t derail or be ableist, please!).

If this is not a post you wish to see, or you just don’t want any advice/ideas for this, that’s ok!! We don’t want to give unsolicited advice, so now is the time to scroll! Okay love you 🫰.

If you want to read though, hi! On we go now, under the cut:

Hey! So, we were thinking recently about how tiring/challenging disability can make keeping your teeth clean. And we manage to keep pretty good dental health (/not bragging, just stating because it is relevant to this!) so we wanted to share what has helped us in the past and currently to look after our teeth best we can?

This is not going to be a guilt-trippy post (we hope anyways, if anything comes off like that please tell us and we shall change that shit!), we are all about just doing what you can. Okay, so:

1. If you struggle to brush your teeth because of the taste/strength of the taste of your toothpaste/mouthwash- you can change the brand & flavour. This is the one we’ve seen suggested a lot elsewhere so this may be already well known- but we did want to add a specific recommendation; if the mint flavouring in dental products being too strong is why you struggle to brush your teeth, there are brands that will do other flavours like strawberry or apple. When we were littler we got braces and got given this special orthodontic toothpaste with matching flavour mouthwash. It was an apple flavoured one- but not in an overly sweet way, just this fairly neutral, mild & minimally minty way.? It still contains mint afawk, but it is not the dominant flavour in our memories. We didn’t remember it having mint at all actually- we only saw it when we went to look it up for this. Anyways, the brand is “VITIS”- the one we had is marketed mainly towards people with dental appliances like braces, but from what we can tell that’s mainly because it has some ingredients that are meant to help any small little cuts or abrasions caused by the braces rubbing against your mouth, and not because nobody else can use it? Linked both the toothpaste & mouthwash below so it’s easier to find. (This isn’t sponsored or something by the way- this is just the ones we have personally tried & know!)

2. If the alcohol content in mouthwash is a risk factor for you/the alcohol is a sensory issue/the alcohol dries out your mouth & causes issues- there are brands that don’t put any alcohol in their mouthwashes. At all. Some brands also do alcohol-free versions of their main-line mouthwash aimed at kids. Which also means they may do it in fun flavours that, again, don’t have mint as the main flavour.

3. If the texture/size of the toothbrush itself causes sensory issues- there’s a lot of ways the design and bristle-strength of the toothbrush can be changed. If you find the bristles too hard/strong/coarse and it hurts your mouth- look for kids-range toothbrushes! They tend to have softer bristles that don’t give as much resistance when you brush your teeth. The toothbrush heads will also be smaller too. Some will also have more bendy stems (? The long bit that you hold) if that is something you need to think about too. For adult toothbrushes you can also get toothbrushes that have harder, stronger, thicker bristles than standard, if you need more sensory input. There are also some that will come with rubbery textures around some of the bristles. You can also get toothbrushes where there are textured rubbery parts on the stem (handle?) as well, which we like because of the added sensory input and because it makes the toothbrush softer and easier to hold for us. The rubber might also help if you also end up chewing your toothbrush at all, as it makes it less hard?

4. If the energy/motion/executive functioning it takes to physically move the toothbrush around your mouth is too much to deal with- it could be worth looking into electric toothbrushes? They seem to be (a lot) more expensive than manual toothbrushes, but if you feel it would help you to not have as much energy spent on dental routines, it might be worth looking into! The ones we have seen let you switch out the type of head you put on the toothbrush stem (which you can charge when the battery runs out)- so there should still be ways to customise things like texture & resistance. It removes the element of brushing back-and-forth over the same tooth, as you basically just hold the brush over each tooth and the toothbrush does the work. We do want to mention though that they can vibrate a fair bit (it feels like a buzzing in your hand when you hold it and on your teeth if that makes sense?). Which is maybe welcome sensory input for you! If you’re like us though that’s a big no-no, so that’s maybe something to bear in mind if you look into it.

5. If you just can’t handle the act of brushing your teeth at all right now- first of all, that’s okay. It’s not some moral or personal failing like we’ve seen some people imply. You just keep on getting by, however that looks for you at the moment. If you can’t keep to a routine (for example “brush twice a day, once in the morning & once at night”), you can change it. Or you can have no routine at all, and just do the things you can manage at whatever point in the day/night you feel up to it. If you need to go with brushing your teeth once a day? That’s so fair! If you don’t have the energy to hold a toothbrush to your mouth, it is an option to skip the brushing and go for only mouthwash. If you are too fatigued and/or bedbound and can’t brush your teeth with toothpaste/mouthwash? That’s ok! You could always try out things like taking a mouthful of water and swooshing it around your mouth (to try get any little bits of food or anything out from between your teeth). If you have some energy, but not the ability to get to a sink/basin/whatever to brush your teeth? There are chewing gums that are made to help with oral hygiene that you could try out. We know that personally the taste in our mouth can cause sensory issues, so this might help if you really want to brush your teeth but can’t in the moment. If you have limited energy for personal hygiene and don’t have the energy to physically carry out lots of tasks in a day? We’ve been there. It’s hard, and sometimes you just can’t get to everything, and that’s okay. If you like, you can try to merge hygiene tasks together- for example, brushing your teeth in the shower. Like, take your toothbrush into the shower with you. You could sit on the floor if it’s easier (we do!) and do your brushing routine whilst you shower.

6. If you struggle with brushing teeth because it feels like a demand/isn’t rewarding/is just generally difficult or unpleasant- this is a gentle reminder that you do not actually have to follow set rules about routines if they don’t help you. If demands like “you need to brush your teeth at this set time!” make you feel stressed out or upset, you can ignore them if you fancy it. Who’s to say you can’t do it an hour later? Or earlier? Five minutes later than expected because fuck being told what to do? Endless options really. If you struggle with the routine because it feels too boring, bland or just not worth the effort it takes? You can make that shit more interesting if you want. Put on some music with a fun rhythm and try to match your teeth-brushing with it. Get yourself a toothbrush with your favourite character or animal on it. Decorate the space where you brush your teeth- and if you need a checklist of actions around the routine, write it up and put it there for you to look at & remind yourself. Give yourself little & consistent rewards in whatever capacity you find most helpful every time you brush your teeth if it helps. If you feel up to it, make a chart where you can put fun stickers every time you brush your teeth. You brushed your teeth yesterday? Boom, gold star shiny sticker for you on the chart. You tried out using mouthwash today? Boom, another shiny sticker. And if you just find the task of brushing your teeth unpleasant- we want you to know that’s understandable. Personal hygiene can just be a lot to do and maintain!! If you want to try out doing more oral hygeine stuff/try to maintain a schedule but are just dreading it- we recommend distractions. In whatever form works for you. Brush your teeth with your favourite songs blaring through your headphones. Put on your favourite cartoon or show and watch it whilst you try out using mouthwash. If you’re extra good at multitasking, brush your teeth with one hand and use a fidget toy in the other,,, so many options really, if you can think of anything that’d be helpful to you personally, try it. Worst case scenario, it doesn’t work. And you know what- that’s ok too. It’s ok if none of this stuff helps you. Sometimes things are just really fucking hard, and that’s not your fault.

7. If you have memory issues/lose time/struggle to organise and remember what you need to do for oral hygiene- we cannot recommend phone reminders enough. Not alarms (loud and stressful for us!), reminders. On Apple phones there’s an app that’s just called “Reminders”. It’s basically an app where you can set up lists of tasks/appointments/important dates and give them time and date stamps. When that time/day comes, it just gives you a little pop-up notification the same as any other notifications you have from other apps. It’s quiet, and for us at least it means we’re more inclined to go do it because it feels less stressful. We’re actually very fond of this app now so if a separate post talking about how we use it would be helpful we can try to make one ☺️. But more broadly speaking; if you will find it useful, get your hands on an app that will send you a visible reminder of what you want to do with your dental hygiene. Be as specific as you want, set as many as you want. We put an example of how we do this below in smaller text (so it’s easier to skip if you don’t want it!). Skip the small text if you just want to continue the main post.

• Small and optional example here! When we have to do something and know we won’t like it/will struggle with the steps to do it, we will set a series of reminders. They may look like this: Alarm 1, “X thing needs doing in 40 minutes!”. Alarm 2 (30 minutes later), “time to get up and start preparing to do X thing now!”. Alarm 3 (5 minutes later), “Good job, it’s time to start doing X thing now! Remember that you need to do [insert steps for the task here]!”. Alarm 4 (5 minutes later again), “Great job, you did X thing! Time for [insert reward]”. You can set separate alarms for each individual step if you want to as well. We’ve also found that encouraging language in the reminders makes us way more receptive to doing the task (and not being angry about it while doing it). You could also set a fun ringtone to the alarms if that would help. Okay, back to the main post now!

Hello again! Continuing on for point 7. If phone reminders aren’t for you, or you don’t check your phone enough for them to be useful- physical calendar-type charts may be helpful! If you put a physical chart somewhere you will see it, and make it big enough that you’ll catch sight of the written reminders on it, that could help if you’re struggling to keep up with dental stuff because you just don’t remember. You could put it somewhere like beside your bed, next to your medication (if you take any), on the wall outside your bathroom, or on your desk/fridge/front door if those are places you see/go to regularly. And decorate it if you like!! Spend time making the chart if you like, design it however you want- make it a fun thing to look at and engage with. A physical calendar may also help if you lose time and can’t remember when you last did certain dental things. If you check off what you do/don’t do each day, then hopefully when you next lose time you’ll have at least some idea of what has/hasn’t been done recently. If written reminders don’t work for you though, and you’d rather have a physical and verbal reminder, consider enlisting the help of others if they’re available and up for it! If you live with others that would be okay with doing this (for example your partner/partners, a parent/guardian, a roommate, a carer, a sibling), you could always request that they help you out by verbally reminding you to brush your teeth/use floss or gum/use mouthwash. If they want to/are able to and it’s something you’d find helpful- you could also consider some hand-over-hand physical guidance to help you complete dental hygiene tasks. For example, if you have a carer, you could request that one of the things they help out with is reminding and physically helping you to brush your teeth. You could also request that they give verbal instructions and/or encouragement throughout the task, so that you don’t get stuck or confused part way through what you’re doing.

8. Miscellaneous things we didn’t manage to fit in earlier- there are likely a lot of disability aids out there to help with things like physically holding the toothbrush to your mouth. We don’t have enough information on them- so we don’t feel able to give proper advice on this, especially as we haven’t tried any out ourselves. But they’re out there!! There are other things like keeping hydrated that will help you out a lot, from what we have seen! Dehydration means you produce less saliva, which can have an impact on your dental health. So if you can, keep water close by you (for example by your bed, by your desk, somewhere visible in your kitchen, in your work/school bag). If nothing else, we find that drinking enough water means our mouth doesn’t feel uncomfortably dry and start tasting “funny”, as we call it. Water bottles are your friend if you’re prone to spilling/knocking cups of water over, and if you need to get non-reusable plastic straws to help you drink more? Do it. If you spend a lot/all of your time in bed, you can keep a lot of water beside it- along with any chewing gum, mouthwash or floss you may want- and somewhere to spit out the gum/mouthwash (could literally just be an empty cup or bowl, there are no rules!). If you have braces (or just generally struggle to get into all the hard-to-clean areas in your mouth, like between your teeth) there are these little things called “Interdental Brushes” that are specifically designed to make it easier for you to get into any hard-to-access places in/around/between your teeth. They have a small plastic handle, and then a single, pointy bit of bendy wire that is covered in little bristles. It is basically a tiny, pointy toothbrush for spots you’re struggling to clean. The bristles come in lots of different sizes (for different-sized spaces in your teeth!). There are also versions with much longer (and slimmer) handles- similar to an actual toothbrush. We’ve found them helpful because unlike a toothbrush, the heads can be bent at different angles so you can get behind your teeth easier. We’ll link the ones we use below (again not sponsored, just don’t feel comfy recommending brands we haven’t tried!). You also, by the way, do not have to use any energy over the bare minimum to do dental hygiene stuff. You want to sit on the bathroom floor to brush your teeth? Go for it, it’s what we do too! You wanna lie propped up in bed to use dental floss? Awesome! Just please, please make sure you don’t lie on your back to use dental health stuff that could be accidentally swallowed or choked on. On that note- if using certain dental health items/substances will be physically dangerous to you in any way, please be careful, either don’t use them or make sure you have assistance/support using them. Safety is the priority. And good luck if you try any of this, we really hope at least some of it can be useful!

With that, we will probably end our long-form rambling there. We have undoubtedly missed things (feel free to add on!) but we hope this helps 💖. Below will be a TLDR (we realise this is so much text, so it will summarise key points!). We will also put the links we promised at the bottom.

TLDR for the post:

- You can change the size, shape, texture and resistance of your toothbrush. Kid’s toothbrushes are also an option!

- You can change the flavour and strength of your toothpaste and mouthwash. There are types that aren’t so minty, or minty at all! We’ve seen strawberry and apple flavours.

- You can get mouthwash with zero alcohol content. Look for types aimed at younger children.

- You can get electric toothbrushes. They’re more expensive, but worth the investment if they’ll help you save energy/prevent symptom flares. Do be aware they vibrate when you hold them and they vibrate when they touch your teeth.

- You don’t actually have to follow set timetables/routines for dental hygiene if they don’t help you/make things harder. Mess around with the routines if you like. Do what you can, when you can.

- Reminders are a thing! Phone reminders/alarms, physical copies of timetables/charts/reminders you can put up around your space, verbal reminders from people you live with… We personally use phone reminders.

- Chewing gum that helps with dental health exists. If you can’t brush your teeth/use mouthwash/floss but you have enough energy to chew for a bit, this might help!

- You can give yourself little rewards every time you manage a dental hygiene task. Because go you! Sticker charts are what come to mind, but do whatever you find helps you best 💖.

- Staying hydrated is important! For lots of reasons, but also for dental health!

- Interdental brushes are a thing, and they’re made to get between your teeth or behind any braces you may have.

- Use as little energy as you can. Sit on the floor to brush your teeth. Brush your teeth in the shower. Floss while you sit up in bed. Literally just do what you can, where you can, when you can. No rules to this stuff except “do what’s possible” & “stay as safe as you can manage”.

- If you have people around who can help, and would be willing to help? Ask!! Anything from verbal reminders to hand-over-hand guidance is an option if you want it and can get it.

- Make it fun and/or give yourself distractions! Loud music, your favourite show, YouTube video essays, stimming at the same time… All options!! And you can decorate your dental hygiene products and buy a toothbrush with your favourite animal/character on too if you want! Do what you want/can to make it all bearable/doable.

//End of post summary. End of main post.

Below are the links we promised. Number 1 is the VITIS orthodontic apple toothpaste.

Number 2 is the VITIS orthodontic apple mouthwash.

Number 3 is the TePe interdental brushes (we use the pink ones personally). For some reason it won’t show an image on the link sorry, it’s a link to the official TePe site, specifically the page that shows their interdental brushing products 💖.

Tips For When Dental Hygiene Is Hard

On this account we cover how to do things that are "common sense" or otherwise untaught for the people who dont know. Shame-free. Today, we'll be covering some tips and tricks for keeping up with dental health when times get rough.

Often when we begin to struggle, we spend so much time and energy trying to keep ourselves going that hygiene is the first things to slip away. Unlike other hygiene, Dental hygiene is very important and if things start to go awry it can be extremely expensive to fix. Here are some tips to help keep your teeth clean when you feel like its the last thing on your mind.

────────────

1) Simplify it - Brushing your teeth can come with so many rules and critiques from dentists that it starts to feel like you shouldnt even do it at all. You're technically supposed to brush twice a day, or even after every meal according to some, and for two minutes at the least.

This isnt realistic for a lot of people who are struggling. To get the energy to get up at least twice a day and perform a boring, often unenjoyable task for two straight minutes can be the last thing you want to do.

The key to this is to simplify it. If you cant brush for 2 minutes, twice a day, then brush for as long as you can whenever you feel like you can. Whether its 3am or 3pm, if the motivation strikes, then do it. A quick once over with a toothbrush will help in the long run, more than you think. You dont even need to use toothpaste. The greatest threat to your teeth is simply the plaque that builds up after eating - and removing plaque only requires some scrubbing with a regular, soft toothbrush.

2) Avoiding deterrents - Some people may hate brushing their teeth because certain parts of it can be unenjoyable. For most, this can be the taste of the toothpaste, especially for neurodivergent people. If its too minty or generally just tastes bad, theres absolutely nothing stopping you from getting a children's toothpaste with a fruity, gentle flavor. Same goes for mouthwash. If you hate the mint, try out bubblegum or berry splash for kids.

Is it the action of getting up and going to do it? Leave a toothbrush by your bed and scrub whenever you have the motivation, or better yet, pick up a bag of some disposable mini toothbrushes. These come with a dollop of toothpaste in the center, requires no water, and is ready to go whenever you need it. Flossers are another easy addition to your nightstand to use whenever the motivation strikes.

Theres two other products that are great for convenient brushing. Disposable finger brushes and tooth tissues. Disposable finger brushes are a unique type of wipes you slip onto your finger and scrub your teeth with. They're great for people with sensitive teeth or sensory issues from toothbrush bristles. Tooth tissues are very similar and are exactly what they sound like. A type of moist towelette often used for children, but theres nothing stopping you from picking up a pack to keep beside your bed, couch, or in your bag.

Miswak is a traditional oral hygiene aid popular in some parts of South Asia and Africa made from the Salvadora persica tree. Its been used for thousands of years and doesnt require toothpaste to clean your teeth. The World Health Organization (WHO) has encouraged people to use Miswaks for their natural health benefits. They contain natural minerals such as chloride, sodium bicarbonate and potassium to help strengthen your enamel and fight plaque and gum disease. They are fully biodegradable and vegan if single use plastics are something you worry about.

One last product you can keep on you is Xylitol gum. Xylitol is a sugar that actually reduces plaque buildup and prevents tooth decay by killing the bacteria in your mouth that causes cavities. You can get the gum in a variety of flavors and pop a tablet in your mouth whenever you see fit.

3) Scheduling - Scheduling can be some peoples worst nightmare. Many people feel like theres only a certain timeslot they can perform an action and if they miss that timeslot, they have to wait for the next. To put it simply, thats not true. As said above, theres nothing stopping you from brushing your teeth whenever you feel like you can.

Another tip is to keep your toothbrush in the shower. When you're in the shower and you see your toothbrush laying there, some find it easier to pick it up and do it then. Its a great tip that can help people who often forget to brush as well.

4) Lastly, make it fun - Brushing your teeth can be a chore, but there are some ways you can make it a little more fun.

Chewable toothpaste tablets might not sound very fun, but Lushs oral hygiene line spices things up with unconventional flavors like cherry-citrus or spicy cola to make brushing fun. They also offer toothpaste in jelly form! While these options may seem redundant, a lot of people find motivation in trying and using up new products they haven't seen before.

Fun apps can give you reminders and motivation to get up and brush your teeth. Pokemon Smile is an app where youre encouraged to brush your teeth to help fight cavities, and at the end you're rewarded with a Pokemon to add to your collection. The app can be a little childish, but the visuals are adorable and the gameplay is rewarding.

Some of these recommendations may seem silly but we encourage you to try some out and see if you notice any difference in your oral habits. Its never too late to start trying to develop a routine and just trying can go a long way.

I’ve been trying to transition away from toothpaste in plastic tubes because I’ve been trying to transition away from as much plastic in general as possible and I was having a hard time because most of the toothpaste tablets I could find didn’t have fluoride (I have genetically horrible teeth and need all the fluoride I can get).   And the only ones I found that did have fluoride and also had non-plastic packaging tasted so overwhelmingly strongly of mint that chewing them made me gag.  I have sensory issues and I hate mint and usually I’m okay with it in toothpaste, but something about these tablets made it way too strong for me.

Then the other day I was at Target because Target has deodorant in paper tubes and I found this:

Hey Humans is a new brand apparently sold exclusively in Target, with the toothpaste tube being made of aluminum and recyclable, and the cap being one hundred percent recycled plastic.  They also make body washes/lotions in aluminum bottles and deodorant in paper tubes, and according to their website, all their products are 6 USD or under.

Both of their flavors are mint, with a stronger taste than most commercial toothpastes I’ve tried, but it’s not unbearably minty to me like the tablets were.

Anyway, I just thought this was cool and wanted to let people know.

okay one Kendall mint cake is neither cake nor pastry it is Sin (it is toothpaste) (seriously it's just. solid toothpaste) (it's a mint flavored glucose tablet)

two that's... bakewell tart not frangipane tart

three this is banoffee pie (and battenberg, but op doesn't like almond so I'll forgive it) erasure

let alone trifle 😭

but FOUR these are all nitpicks because op is otherwise entirely correct about the malignment of English baked goods (which, like, I get, given the lack of respect we give to others!! but that's not the CAKES' fault, ya know?) & now I am extremely missing home & my mum's simnal cake for Easter 😭

English Cakes and Pastries Poll

I am sad I can't include welsh cakes or shortbread in this but WHATEVER

I am TIRED of the outright SLANDER people bring to English food when they 1) call it British and then IGNORE all the fantastic foods in any of the other nations of the British Isles and 2) ONLY EVER TALK ABOUT THE 'WEIRD' STUFF!!!

So here, have a poll for cakes. Aside from Frangipane* I have eaten all of these and would again, so fight me if you dare. Example pictures below the cut.

*too much almond

Chelsea Bun

Apple Pie

I want to share a list of things that have personally helped me through my experiences with autism, adhd, depression ,gad and chronic illness ever since my diagnosis, and even before then.

(Ps, these are not cure-all’s but I’m happy to share what has helped me)

1. We all sweat and stink sometimes, but i know it’s hard to shower for a lot of people. So what I do is a take a wet washcloth (temp does not matter) and wipe at said stink til its gone. This is simple but has been a life saver multiple times.

Ps don’t use this as a complete substitute for bathing! Just a good freshen up

2. I hate brushing my teeth, the brush a bad texture and I also hate toothpaste texture and flavor. One day getting ready I had an epiphany,

QUTIPS

if you take q-tip and rub it your teeth it gets a good bit of debris off, plus you can use it on the go, you and get decomposable q-tips, it has no strong flavors and personally I’m not bothered by the texture.(its fine if you are tho)

Then chose a breath mint of choice or I bet a toothpaste tablet would work pretty good too!

3. Carrying 1 to 3 note books or sketch books on me (plus writing utensil of choice) Has been super used . I write down ideas, information and even drawings. This has helped me save information for when it’s needed, or a good distraction or motivator

Example being, the more [insert thing that needs to be done] I do, the more detail I get to add to what I’m doing.

I don’t have many motivators but this a relatively healthy one. Plus you you can even get notepad Keychains if you really don’t want to take up space.

Feel free to talk about your tips and tricks! I’ll repost the ones I like or might use! (Idk how tumblr work but if this is possible tag me in it!) if any of these are bad or unhealthy to promote then let me know !

hi im someone whos had to go through a large amount of dental procedures this year bc of previous years of not brushing my teeth bc Depression and Autism so heres all the tooth brushing alternatives ive heard of to add on to that one post:

- the one post in question mentions these dry disposable brushes by colgate. they only come in the flavors mint and mint 2 but they dont require water and therefore getting to a sink, u just brush and toss

- on the subject of mint and mint 2: kids toothpaste and adult toothpaste is literally the same stuff. it is no less effective. not only can you get any of the kid flavors but theres also kids toothpaste that pumps out like soap instead of a being in a fiddly tube

- brushing with just water is leagues better than nothing though. toothpaste enhances the cleaning provided by the action of brushing, not the other way around. you can skip it if it gets you to brush more (it does for me)

- extra soft toothbrushes and toothbrushes made of nonplastic things also exist if thats more your problem than the toothpaste

- a mouth rinse with fluoride helps on its own and is great in conjunction with anything that takes fluoride out of the equation

- xylitol chewing gum helps and also your brain thinks its tasty candy reward and not boring maintenance task

- bit of a long shot but would you rather chew on a stick than brush your teeth? thats what we all did before the modern toothbrush and its still common in places so you can do some research into chewing sticks and buy those online if that intrigues you

- finally ive seen a lot of people recommend various ‘tooth tablets’ but all the ones i can find are intended to be used as a substitute for toothpaste while still brushing normally. just chewing it would still give a nonzero benefit, there might be some that arent like that, and its a perfectly good toothpaste alternative, but ive never seen that part mentioned so

SICK REMEDIES!(literally)

This weekend I had fortunately caught a cold, or a fever. I am assuming it was a sickness of some kind. It started with a sore throat, body aches, then I woke up in the middle of the night feeling like I was on fire. And then I had been spitting up mucus and had three separate headaches the next morning. DayQuil and chamomile tea were my only aid, that and seven-up and Mexican food.

BUT! Because of this, I’ve been inspired to research some home remedies and what I’ve found were some cute simple solutions for all of my symptoms that I wish I knew about at the time! In Wicca, more specifically with kitchen witches, herbs are essential for their work, and I’m not much of a gardener so learning these things can help lots since store medicine can be a bit pricey.

Mint

One of the things I experienced was coughing up mucus, blowing my nose constantly, and a sore throat, and what I’ve found is the mint, that tiny green toothpaste tasting leaf plant, has methanol in it that can treat all of these.

Mint on it’s own is edible, its dynamic taste can be used for salads, teas, and many recipes, even to help with coffee breath, but due to the methanol peppermint tea is the way to go if you have any throat troubles! You can straight up use the leaves to brew your own tea if you can’t get going to walmart in your drowsy state, that is if you have any lying around.

Personally I knew that vix rub and a humidifier or steam could help as well, but I’m very glad that I have more of an excuse to bring mint items into my home more so than usual, especially as of writing this, it is a day before Halloween and it is currently snowing in the midwest where I live. Cold weather brings many things, and sore throats and coughing is one of them.

Elderberry

Now this berry is very very off the beaten path for a remedy, but fun fact, it’s a common ingredient for over-the-counter syrups in the form of Sambucol! Sambucol can shorten flus to around three days, and you can get Elderberries in tea and tablets to use at home without buying any medicine at all! But, as I said this the path less taken, since Elderberries, if not properly washed and picked and treated, can be very poisonous when consumed, and that includes stems, leaves, etc if consumed with the tea.

Garlic

Perfect for the season, and warding off vampires and anybody you wanted to be near, Garlic has been seen to help with colds and flu systems when consumed and are actually very good to eat since it can boost your immune system! You can mince it, toss it into your chicken soup, its a great little piece of food for about anything. Just beware, it’s very strong. So double the dose.

MY Home Remedies

I grew up in a Hispanic family, so we have a few things we do to help a cold.

Homemade Lemonade- Take a couple of regular lemons or lemons, maybe some sugar, and chug it. Anything Citrus is good, oranges, store lemonade, Sprite especially if you live in my family.

Powerade/Gatorade- If it helped with sport athletes, my family used it to help with stomach aches. Specifically red fruit punch flavor. To this day I can’t drink it because of it’s association to sickness.

The Egg Prayer- This might just be a family tradition, but my family, my mother would take an egg, rub it on the face of the person who was sick and say a prayer. After that she’d break the egg into a clear cup of water, and from the yolk she could tell if you were sick, and when it was going to get better. Not a very legit remedy, but it might have a placebo effect.

As always, these are just some natural stuff you could use IF the sickness is manageable, if it’s worse than just your average cold or fever then head to your nearest doctor than. Thank you for reading!
