I know this sounds gross but I have real trouble remembering to clean my teeth. When I was younger it was never encouraged by my parents. Then when I got a bit older & my dentist began to berate my mother for the state of my mouth, she began amature dentistry. She would clean my teeth herself, typically prying ones she thought werent beneficial sufficient out with general tools & chipping away at tartar without pausing to let me spit out the blood. Obviously it was excruciating & its left me with a fear of cleaning my teeth. It seems illogical, I know. But touching my teeth often reminds me of when she did these things to me, & Im also afraid that shell hear me cleaning them & desire to inspect them herself, which could lead to another session.
Please, can you think of any way I can get into a far more regular cleaning routine? My oral hygine is extremely poor, & it needs to improve badly, but I cant motivate myself well simply because of these fears & mainly because it isnt a habit for me so I frequently forget. I only appear to clean them when my mother isnt around or prior to I need to leave the house sometimes. Im not trolling, any advice would be so appreciated.
Thanks.
