Brushing your teeth, while absolutely necessary, can feel like a chore. Twice a day for two minutes each time, at least. Use a soft brush to brush your tongue and gums in circular motions. Remember to floss. See your dentist at least once a year. It’s all so unglamourously tedious. 

Toothpaste isn’t thought of as anything more than a means to an end. Not once have I thought of my toothpaste as a luxury product.
