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, usually prying ones she thought werent great 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 appears illogical, I know. But touching my teeth usually reminds me of when she did these issues to me, & Im also afraid that shell hear me cleaning them & need to inspect them herself, which could lead to an additional session.
Please, can you think of any way I can get into a more typical cleaning routine? My oral hygine is extremely poor, & it wants to improve badly, but I cant motivate myself well because of these fears & due to the fact it isnt a habit for me so I usually forget. I only appear to clean them when my mother isnt around or just before I need to leave the house sometimes. Im not trolling, any advice would be so appreciated.
Thanks.
