Adding this into your daily routines and having a partner to hold you accountable is a surefire way to develop easy dental habits and look forward to doing them!
Invest in Your Products
When you invest in your dental health products, not only will you be more inclined to use them, but you will be excited too! Purchase the products that will benefit you the most whether an electric toothbrush, toothpaste catered to your individual needs, floss and mouthwash to complete your routine, and otherwise.
Add a Song
Whether it’s the top song on your playlist or a song you’ve made up yourself, adding a musical element to your routine won’t only make dental hygiene more enjoyable but will also ensure you’re brushing and/or flossing for the proper amount of time! Spotify, the digital music app, has specific playlists for tooth brushing, guaranteed to get you in the mood!
Use a Timer
If none of these tips are working for you, using a timer will ensure you get the job done.
