I used to have really yellow teeth because I brushed my teeth really rarely (thank goodness I never smoked). I've had some periods where I brushed them more often but I'd quickly fall back into hopelessness.
Then I hung a small calendar in the bathroom where I cross each day that I brush my teeth, and the "I don't want to break my win streak" feeling is so RIDICULOUSLY compelling that it's been many months now and I brush my teeth almost every day, in fact I didn't miss one day since 1 month and 3 weeks ago.
DON'T underestimate the sheer POWER of "win streaks".
My teeth are almost white now!
- TheSOB88 16y agoStrange, my teeth are light yellow and I've hardly ever missed a day. Most days I brush twice. From this I'd gathered that tooth discoloration is permanent.
- Hexstream 16y agoWell, I consider that they're "almost white" in relation to the piss-yellow I used to have. But the difference is dramatic nonetheless.
