>excessively brushing their teeth Is that in spite of why their teeth decay so badly?
The brushing doesn’t help. The teeth decay is from lack of saliva.

I think it’s more because it’s a simple task that feels productive. It satiates the desire to be doing something without introducing the added frustration of failing at a more complex task.
