Task

Brush teeth (morning)

+15 XP+5 gems

Why this matters

Why bother?

Plaque forms overnight from bacterial activity. Morning brushing clears it and freshens breath before the day starts.

How often

Twice a day, every day. Non-negotiable.

Best time: After breakfast is better than before — but if you eat something acidic like orange juice, wait 30 min so you don't scrub softened enamel.

Pro tip

Use a soft-bristle brush. Hard bristles damage gums. Brush for 2 full minutes — most people quit at 45 seconds.

Common mistake

Rinsing with water right after brushing washes away the fluoride. Spit, don't rinse.

What happens if you skip

Skipping leads to cavities and gum disease — and dental work is expensive and painful.
