I hate brushing my teeth, but I'm usually able to steel myself to do it. It's the taste of the toothpaste that bothers me, though; as long as I have a regular toothbrush I'm fine, but if I try to use an electric one, I can't bear doing it.

I also do not like brushing my teeth. I have yet to find a toothpaste whose flavour I could stand. I also have great trouble actually remembering to brush my teeth. If I do not have someone remeind me to do it, chances are I will go a week or more without brushing my teeth.

I too have a problem with remembering and making myself do it. Where as most people I've ever known my age religiously brush their teeth to death.
Recently I got myself to pick up a routine at night (once a day for me is a miracle) where I'll change clothes, wash my face, and brush my teeth. It's helped me alot, I'll still shrug it off if I'm tired, but I'm getting to where I kind of NEED this routine.

You mean most people don't?

I set it up so I brush my teeth right after I shower.

I used to have really bad issues with brushing my teeth because it hurt my teeth.. sometimes still does, no matter how often and how hard I brush my teeth my gums will still occassionally bleed. :roll: But I always feel horrible if I don't brush my teeth so they do get done at least once a day so I avoid the disgusting feeling in my mouth. I always make sure that they're brushed before I go out - I can't leave the house without brushing my teeth.

My teeth are sensitive as well, but it's certain foods that hurt, not brushing my teeth. The biggest problem I have though is the taste of toothpaste, which remains in my mouth for the next hour. I can't stand it.
I usually brush my teeth once a day, at night.

I usually can't remember to brush my teeth, But when I do, I get really obsessed and will brush for literally hours.

I try to brush my teeth regularly as it is part of my routine, though I do not like to do it as just the thought of rubbing a bristled brush against my gums makes me shudder. :P But I feel better when I do it because I know that it is a good thing and it makes me feel clean.
