So, I’m a teen in my parents house and I have a rather addiction to anything sugary and sweet like candy and having more than one soda per day, more like 2-3 cans per day.
Anyways, I also have this struggle with motivation and energy to doing mundane ass things. Like brushing my teeth? My lack of motivation slumps usually make me too tired or too unbothered to brush my teeth for days on end, maybe sometimes weeks, without brushing.
Leading me to have 6 or 7, maybe even more, cavities. Four of my front upper teeth have cavities, on the back but still. The others are mostly my back teeth like my molars on both rows.
I know the evident way to save my teeth is limit my sugar intake but it’s hard. Nearly everything in my house my parents buy or gift me is sugary, and I have recently tried to start cleaning my teeth way more (like 2-3 times per day, making sure to floss every night and swish mouthwash every day and night) but even after all my hard work, I know it probably won’t do much.. what do I do? I can’t tell my parents because they’ll just scream at me and be all pissy and do that thing where they bring it up in conversations just to get some people’s reaction, but I also don’t know what else to do..

I have always been very self conscious about my teeth but everyone always says I have a beautiful smile, even though I use to get bullied for my teeth in middle...
You'll have to tell them about the cavities to get them fixed or you'll have a lot of pain in the future plus it'll get worse. Better to confess it now to them. I know its not easy but try to limit your sugary intake. Im always craving sweets myself so yeah its not easy. Hang in there.
ReplyIt sounds like you might have some struggles with depression as well, which can make it really hard to complete even simple tasks, like brushing your teeth. It's good that you're doing this more. You really have to get the cavities filled, even if you get screamed at (I hate that this would happen to you). Keep doing what you're doing with regular brushing and maybe try a fluoride rinse at night and in the morning (don't eat for 30 minutes after). Do you have any other family you can reach out to?
ReplyOther family members? Not really.
Other families like non related, I don’t have much time to say something since I’m moving in like 4 days.
