I've never understood why people view brushing their teeth before bed as a chore. We only have so many teeth, why is taking care of them such an inconvienience?

  Short term pain, long term gain.

    Perhaps off topic, but brushing my teeth before bed is such an ingrained habit for me that it actually takes a force of will to choose not to brush them. I.e. brushing is actually easier than not brushing.

      Agreed. I have trouble falling asleep without a fresh-just-brushed-my-teeth feeling. An annoying habit in the beginning can become a necessity later on.

        Not only that it triggers your brain to start getting sleepy.
