RESOLUTIONS FOR YOUR TEETH

Most people make resolutions at the beginning of the year. Sometimes, we keep them. Sometimes, they are forgotten by January 2.

The way our brains work, we are most successful creating new habits if we identify a cue, establish a routine and follow-up with a reward.

Psychology Today wrote an article about a woman who wanted to change

her late night snacking routine. Her cue was a hungry feeling. Instead of

eating, she changed the cue to translate into the message that she

was losing weight as she slept. It worked!

Try that technique with flossing. Put your dental

floss beside your toothpaste as a cue to

floss when you put your toothpaste away! Reward

yourself knowing your teeth are REALLY clean!

It’s important to think of and visualize the eventual positive outcome! Picture

yourself with a healthy mouth and a bright

smile!

The process of cue/routine/reward

can be used in almost any area of

your life!
