Brushing Teeth Balance—Finger Touching Base

Each time you brush your teeth, morning and night, steady yourself by placing your fourth (ring) finger of the non-toothbrush-holding-hand on the edge of the sink or bathroom counter. Move one foot slightly behind you and off the floor. Stand on one leg while keeping the fourth finger on the sink edge.

Even with the one finger on the sink you might lose your balance, so be ready to touch the foot down to rest your toe on the floor until you feel steadier; you can then take the foot back off the floor to continue balancing while you brush your teeth. Keep the fourth finger on the sink or counter edge at all times.

Don’t worry if you lose your balance. If you need to, just keep resting the toe of the nonstanding foot on the floor. This balance may take some time and practice.

Alternate the standing leg for morning and night brushing.
