Teeth!

Miffo

Hi everybody, Matthew here.

Every night I do my teeth and I'm almost certain that I don't do them for two minutes but usually in the mornings I never ever do my teeth. I was just wondering if anyone else has these same problems and if they do what causes them, I'm confused!

Why don't I like doing them?

Thanks to everybody who replies. Smile

Regards,

Matthew.

    Gosh Matthew, you're exploding with questions!

    Doing them at night is more important than in the morning. To be honest, I do the same as you and it works for me. Like many aspies, I have an absolute phobia about going to the dentist (I guess that you hate this too?). I've learnt, from a dentist friend a long time ago, that dental floss is very useful for cleaning out bits of food and stuff from between your teeth. I now use the P shaped disposable things that you can get from Boots etc. I also use an electric brush - I'm a bit lazy and I like using electric gadgets too!

    I avoided going to the dentist for a long time (about 14 years!) until my wife nagged me to go. I was astonished and delighted that I actually didn't need anything doing because of my obsessive habits with floss and the electric brush (but only once a day). (Obsessiveness can sometimes be a benefit!)

    One of the reasons for you not doing them in the morning is probably because you don't like being told what to do and I bet your parents have badgered you to do this? There is a bit in our syndrome that makes us rebel against being told what to do. Did you know that?
