I believe it was in 2009 that a friend of mine decided that she was not going to have a single New Years resolution, but rather, she would have twelve: one for each month of the year. Although, her model was based on simply giving something up for the month and then (presumably) going back to indulging in whatever habit--sugar, coffee, etc.--she had given up. In my case, I'm going to attempt in creating good habits that that I can build onto throughout the year.Technically, I started my January resolution in the middle of December, but I've been committing myself to maintaining exceptional oral hygiene. It used to be that I would only brush my teeth once a day, and typically only if I was planning on leaving my apartment. But now I force myself to brush my teeth, scrape my tongue, floss, and rinse with mouthwash every day when I wake up, and right before I go to bed. I haven't missed a single day; it's been a successful resolution month thus far. My dentist appointment in February is going to be the best visit ever! No bleeding gums for this guy!
I have yet to decide what my February resolution will be. Some possibilities include: giving up my use of Grindr, always keeping my apartment clean, or not eating any fast food, which should be a hard rule anyway.
The primary motivation of keeping my oral hygiene regiment is the effects I see months after observing this practice.
ReplyDeleteTrue, commentator above. Though not a lot of people have enough patience to wait for months to see those purported effects.

What an awesome Idea. I think I'll try to use the 12 resolutions one per month rule too.
ReplyDeleteI think the 12 month model really works because people tend to forget their resolutions all the time.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you've decided to maintain your oral hygiene. It is important to visit the dentist at least once in two weeks to maintain healthy strong teeth. My Orange County dentist never fails to remind me for an appointment.

ReplyDeleteHealthy teeth and gums do more than providing you a nice, shiny smile. Good oral hygiene definitely a great way to keep your whole body in good shape.

I agree with the comments. A good dental hygiene will give you a good dental system. It is essential to brush your teeth, floss and gargle mouthwash everyday to make your mouth clean, fresh and healthy.
ReplyDeleteI love your resolution. It's good to know that you were able to practice good dental hygiene. It is always a must to brush, floss and gargle mouthwash every after eating to prevent tooth decays and halitosis.
ReplyDeleteIt's always a must for every individual to practice good oral hygiene. Our teeth and gums are important. They are the symbols of being a responsible individual when it comes to oral hygiene.
ReplyDeleteOral hygiene is very important. I suggest you also visit your dentist Sydney at least twice a year. Good job!
ReplyDeleteIt seems like your new year's resolution is infectious. I talked to my dentist Laurel and he says that proper oral hygiene does involve not only brushing, but also flossing, then mouthwash. Those are the complete oral hygiene regimen. Thanks for the inspiration!
