This made me think about reminders, and how you can remember to brush, floss, or wear your retainers. Here are some ideas from some experts on habits:
1. Make your brush/floss/retainers visible. The more you see these things throughout the day, the more youâll be reminded to use them!
2. Set an alarm on your phone to remind you, and be sure to set it for an hour before you usually go to bedâjust in case you hit the hay early one night.
3. Put a post-it note on your bathroom mirror or fridge as a friendly reminder.
4. Simply brush/floss/put in your retainers earlier in the day. Instead of waiting until youâre exhausted before bed, do it right after dinner (it keeps you from snacking in the evening hours, too!). Or, do it as soon as you yawn in the eveningâthat way you wonât be tempted to skip your dental routine because youâre too sleepy!
