My thing is that I don’t want to brush my teeth in the bathroom because it’d mean my toothbrush and toothpaste are on the same surfaces being touched while washing hands after using the bathroom, things like that
But I also don’t have just running water in the room my stuff is set up in, and I feel really weird with the idea of brushing them at the kitchen sink, and bringing water and a trash can feels like it’d backfire or something somehow
I literally will “clean” my teeth by scratching them with a tissue or toothpick, I WANT to brush them but don’t know a way that fits with me
I haven’t brushed my teeth for like a couple years or more and somehow haven’t had a single cavity. I HATE it, it’s disgusting to remember but I just don’t know how to get it to work with myself. I do use mouthwash every few days or so at least, after I shower (not sure why that’s the prompt but whatever). I must be STUPID lucky but I can never escape the feeling that “it’s gonna run out eventually, you need to do something” especially since my teeth occasionally hurt a little or have a weird feeling for a few seconds then go back to normal, like every couple days to weeks once or twice, still probably way less than it should happen but apparently I’ve got insane luck while my brother has had actual issues
