i only brush 1x a day, floss like 1nce a week. Been trying to ramp the flossing up (i actually enjoy flossing quite a bit, the buzz it gives your gums is pleasant) but i dont beat myself up over it. Got no intention of ever being a 2x a day brusher.
diet has more to do with dental hygiene than your scrubbadub routine tbh. Eat oatmeal (not the kind packaged with sugar add your own very small amount instead), bagels, bread and savory dishes with lots of capsaicin (you won't miss salt, sugar added, etc if you get a nice spice buzz) and obsessively drink water non stop all day for 15 years and maybe you might get to be like me. If you need an intense flavored beverage learn to enjoy coffee, tea, occasional beers. These have nuanced flavor that is way better than soda drinks and "juice" (sooo different from soda cuz its natural amirite) anyway.
Don't convince yourself you need concentrated sugar from citrus for vitamin c or other dogshit nutrients; analyze everything you consume by sugar, protein and calories (fat content doesn't really matter) while brushing 1x a day and you can enjoy better teeth than you have now with less effort than you put in currently, while feeling better and enjoying visible abdominal muscles without any form of scheduled/rigid exercise regimen. Dentist compliments me on the state of things and the exceptional hardness of my teeth every single time, and daily when I look at my shirtless visage in the mirror of my beautifully well-lit luxurious bathroom before I take a shower I feel reassured.
