Why do we have to brush and floss our teeth? Why is it important? What happens if we don't? All of these are vital questions we must ask ourselves when we make decisions about our oral care. When we get home late at night and think "It is really late, and I am just too tired. One night of skipping my oral care won't hurt." However this is not the case. Most of the time, people who skip nights occasionally are less likely to care when they forget. Therefore, these people are at a greater risk of ceasing to perform oral care completely. Studies have shown that habits are easier to keep when sacrifices are often made to keep them.
