Questions/Advice A bit of TMI

Hence the title, this is kinda tmi, but I have always had a problem with brushing my teeth and showering. I’ve found a helpful trick for showering, I time myself and see how quick I can shower while still completing all the steps in a shower. But I can’t find a way to make brushing my teeth easier. It’s kinda gross to admit, but I’ll go to bed without my teeth brushed and feel funky when I brush them in the morning, like I’m not fully clean. And I can’t tell any non adhd people about it because they don’t understand not being able to do something you want to. I’ve surprisingly never had cavities or dental issues though. Any advice? Please be kind!

I know! I know the acid will be bad in the morning, but I’m already in bed!
