Let’s get one thing clear: you’re already a badass. You’re navigating life, career, relationships, Netflix marathons, and possibly the occasional existential crisis, all with style and determination. But even a badass sometimes needs a gentle reminder: your teeth deserve the same fearless, confident care you give every other part of your life.
Inspired by Jen Sincero’s empowering guide, here’s how to claim your badass status, by giving yourself the oral care you truly deserve.
Badasses don’t hide their smiles
A badass woman knows her smile is powerful. Whether confidently negotiating at work, laughing uncontrollably with friends, or flashing a smile at a cute stranger, your teeth should always be ready for action. So, flossing, brushing, and gentle whitening aren’t chores—they’re badass self-care rituals.
Take no nonsense from plaque (or anyone else)
Just like you wouldn’t tolerate negativity in your life, plaque shouldn’t get a free pass either. Choosing thoughtful products, like gentle fluoride toothpaste and effective, alcohol-free mouthwash—sends a clear message: you’re serious about your oral health, just like you’re serious about your life goals.
Badasses know self-care includes their smile
You probably have skincare routines and fitness routines, why not an oral care routine you genuinely enjoy? Treat yourself to products that make your teeth feel amazing. Gentle enzymatic whitening toothpaste, an effective sonic toothbrush, or refreshing peppermint mouthwash make daily oral care feel less like a chore and more like a badass act of self-love.
Own your choices and your toothbrush
Badass women don’t use toothbrushes with sad, frayed bristles. Replace your toothbrush regularly, not because your dentist guilt-tripped you, but because you deserve fresh, effective oral care. Show your teeth you love them, they’re a big part of your badass persona.
Stop apologising for your teeth (and anything else)
Your teeth might not be “perfect”, but guess what? No one’s teeth are. Embrace your smile, care for it thoughtfully, and don’t apologise for imperfections. Badass confidence comes from self-acceptance, genuine care, and the understanding that perfection is overrated anyway.
You’re already a badass—so are your teeth
When you care thoughtfully for your oral health, it’s just one more powerful way to affirm your badass status. Keep being fierce, keep brushing fearlessly, and never underestimate the power of an unapologetically confident smile.
Because yes—you are absolutely a badass. And your teeth? They’re badass too.
Don’t just clean. Care.
