hi!i was hoping for some advice &also wanted to ask a question.
due to the combination of my unusual sleeping and eating habits, i struggle to find the time to brush my teeth. i dont really eat meals and instead tend to eat small amounts of food throughout the day. my sleeping is very erratic, i sleep when im tired and wake up when my body wakes up or very shortly before i need to leave the house. both of these together mean that even when i remember to brush my teeth, it doesnt seem like a good time to do so since it would be only a little while removed from a snack or a flavoured drink, or a long time before i will be able to sleep. fixing my sleeping habits is a behemoth issue but i would like to make progress in my dental hygiene in the mean time, so do you have any advice?
also, i wanted to ask since this popped back into memory. when i was a kid i struggled with dental hygiene (pretty much only brushing on weekends) but when i saw a dentist in middle school they said i was lucky to have the teeth that i did considering my brushing habits (which i embellished anyway). i was just thinking that maybe this was because of the fact i would mindlessly scrape my teeth all the time as a kid? is this plausible??
thank you for your time & advice!! i really appreciate it. (and im sorry if my scraping my teeth as a kid is gross :,,3)
So I don't have a lot of advice for you, bc I haven't experienced this or have heard of anyone who has a schedule like this. But since your eating and sleeping schedules are not usual, obviously trying to aim for usual/ideal oral hygiene schedules haven't been possible. I would recommend you see your dentist, so that you're able to have a conversation with them and to see exactly what might be most beneficial and helpful for you.
My advice, based on the limited info I have, is that it might just be most beneficial for you to at least brush once or twice a day whenever you think of it. Aiming for a consistent at least once a day any time of day is better than nothing. Even if you're about to eat something soon. It's better to brush and then eat than just never ever brushing at all.
Do you sleep in bed or also just conk out wherever you are sitting when you're sleepy? Maybe consider having a toothbrush, water bottle, floss, and spit cup at places where you most often sleep? So you can do a brush (and floss) before you sleep. And make sure you never fall asleep without at least giving your mouth a good rinse. Then when you wake up, be sure to do another good rinse.
With your schedule, I could see why regular oral care is hard, but to try and be sure you do something once a day rather than aim for ideal and just not do it at all will be most beneficial. And if you can be sure to rinse before and after sleep, will help.
As to the second part of your question, I have no idea what scraping is. I am going to tag in @nothingiswrongwithyourarmrests in case they have something to add.
I hope some of that is helpful for you.
Remember to brush and floss, everyone!
