I am the same way. When things are at their worst, I'm very negligent about dental care.
I know I have a toothbrush - and I know I have a mouth, but the idea of bringing all that together just seems like more time and effort than I can handle.
I have a six-unit bridge as the result of a bike accident, and it involves floss threaders which makes it all even more involved. Then, I know I should use the irrigator as well, so like many things - it becomes an overwhelming experience that's somehow rooted in my desire to do every little thing just so-so and failing miserable at all of it.
(That sounded really despondent but it was more of an observation, not a poor me-ish thing).
