farg please work on my teeth in the middle of the night it's the only time i am available
Yes of course
When I am actually working if anyone tells me they are from se++ ill give them like a 10 dollar discount and let them take TWO prizes from the prize chest
They always nag me to floss, and at this point I'm just like "nah dog, that ain't happening." I figure they appreciate me being upfront with my utter non-compliance, but I don't really care. Just polish and check for cavities and let me go, please.
Just friggin' floss already. You know what happens when you floss? The dentist doesn't have to spend as much time scraping away at your enamel, and also doesn't lecture you about gingivitis.
I have four extra canines
one for each regular one
the baby ones never fell out
"why don't you get the baby ones out?" you might ask.
well because the baby ones are in the front and I don't want to look dumber than I already do when I smile
when I have the money to get them all out and get implants, I will
but for now the Legend of Sharkmouth continues
I have been blessed with good teeth. I'm 27 and I don't have a single cavity, never needed any kind of work, and I go to the dentist regularly.
However every visit is the same. I get chewed out for not brushing the right way or not flossing or something. And they always remark with surprise that "Oh! You have sensitive gums! They are bleeding."
Well yes. Yes they are. Because you are digging into them with a metal hook.
Uh-oh I accidentally deleted my signature. Uh-oh!!
I haven't gone to the dentist in a long time purely out of anxiety about not having gone to the dentist in a long time and how much it's gonna suck.
Believe it or not this thread may spur me to fix that. I gotta find a sedation dentist or something though to knock my ass out that first time I go back in so I don't worry.

2 weeks or so before you go in, brush twice a day for 2 minutes each time and floss between each tooth. You should be doin' that anyway, but if you're a horrible slacker this will seriously help your cleaning be shorter and easier.
My teeth were all crooked before I had braces when I was in grade school. Then from like 6th grade to 10th they looked great.
Then my wisdom teeth on the bottom grew in (literally) horizontally, screwing up the bottom row. So my teeth on top = perfectly straight. Bottom = not so much.
Fuck you wisdom teeth.
THIS IS MY EXACT SITUATION
Top teeth - perfect
Bottom teeth - looks like I have two rows of teeth
Luckily people don't really notice your bottom teeth are fucked when you smile but it made playing the sax a bitch
For the trifecta if anyone knows of a good dentist in the NOVA area I kinda need to go to one
I went to Northern Virginia Dental Associates on Rolling Road in Springfield, right up between the Whole Foods and the High School. They were quite good.
I take care of my teeth, but I have bad enamel courtesy of my dad. So for awhile I'd go in and they'd lecture me about flossing, because I needed another filling, and I'd tell them I floss religiously. Then they'd sort of pause and finally say, "...oh. Well, keep doing that."
It's gotten better lately, because most of the weak enamel has been replaced with fillings. Of course, it's now getting to the point where some of the older fillings need to be replaced... the circle of life.
(I don't mind, really. I've gotten used to it, and I have no horror stories.)

Yo, when can I start scheduling appointments?
Not for a long while but if you pay me like 50 bucks and give me your insurance info ill give you one of those sticky hand things and then throw the insurance info away because I can't do anything with it
I get to go tomorrow to finish getting fillings to fix my several years of depressive neglect and abuse.
Then all I need is a crown on one of my molars and I'll be set for life because I am never not taking care of my teeth again because holy shit getting deep as all hell fillings in every corner of your mouth sucks.

I already brush twice a day because otherwise my mouth tastes and feels disgusting (seriously how do people not do this...it's like people who don't shower daily ugh gross), though flossing is more infrequent.
my dentist tried to remove my wisdom teeth himself instead of sending me to a dental surgeon
after 45 minutes of pulling he finally got the top left wisdom tooth out
I still have the rest of them, but since they weren't crowding/impacted/bad I haven't rushed to get the rest out. especially now that I don't have dental insurance, which ironically costs the same per year to get the wisdom teeth removed
My dad always liked to tell me how when he was a teenager he had to have his wisdom teeth out. They were stubborn so the dentist had to break them into pieces with a little hammer and chiesel. That story made me afraid of my wisdom teeth coming in to the point where mouth pain of any kind got me freaked out.
Luckily despite my tiny mouth I was able to keep my wisdom teeth. I just had to suffer the dull ache of teething for a few weeks.

No, because you see, fluoride in the drinking water is how the government is trying to control your mind, man.
Don't you know Hitler did the same thing? Wake up sheeple!
My roommate's dad is a dentist, and he can always tell if a kid he sees grew up drinking non-fluoridated water- he's installed fillings and crowns on 8-year-olds.

HeadCreepsNOW IS THE TIME FOR DRINKING!Registered Userregular
For a very long time I avoided seeing my dentist, but then a few years ago when I was on my lunch break a small piece of a tooth fell out, followed shortly by some of the worst pain I've ever had. I'd never had any cavities up until then, and he found a few more working their way into my teeth. So now I floss all the time and I'm much more thorough with brushing.
I haven't been back in a while though. Unfortunately I don't have dental insurance so that shit gets really expensive
I had a shithouse dentist in germany - he was probably technically fine, but he was a con artist and a jerk, and i swear his techs were hired for looks not competence (not one of them could take an xray in less than five goes, I'm probably gonna get face cancer now).
Anyway I basically ended up getting a bunch of filling replacements I may or may not have needed, but on one of them he found decay behind the filling and said I needed a root canal (which ended up being a total cost of 4000 euro!), and then he fucked up the root canal! "oh now you need a resection whoops" "Ok well I'm moving this month and won't have health insurance till who knows when so how about you do that RIGHT NOW" so I made him do it right then and there but he was really shirty and rough and didn't anaesthetize enough and also left my face horribly bruised.
Anyway the reason he managed to get away with charging so much is that when I'd agreed to the assessment I'd thought the estimated costs included a wisdom tooth extraction. Turned out no, that was a whole separate thing, so ok now I've STILL got my bullshit sideways wisdom teeth and what with one thing and another I haven't got the time to take off work to get them out but I know next time I go to the dentist they're gonna want to schedule that so basically I've been ducking the dentist for at least a year. Definitely need a clean and two crowns and three wisdom teeth out, and that's if nothing else has gone wrong.

Hell yeah he did, from the irreplaceable educate-yourself.org:
"According to Charles Perkins, who was appointed post-war head of the German chemical giant I.G. Farben, “The real reason behind water fluoridation is not to benefit children’s teeth…The real purpose behind water fluoridation is to reduce the resistance of the masses to domination, control and loss of liberty…The German chemists worked out a very ingenious and far-reaching plan of mass-control which was submitted to and adopted by the German General Staff. This plan was to control the population in any given area through mass medication of drinking water supplies…Repeated doses of infinitesimal amounts of fluoride will in time reduce an individual’s power to resist domination, by slowly poisoning and narcotizing a certain area of the brain, thus making him submissive to the will of those who wish to govern him.”
His remarks were reinforced by Dr. E.H. Bonner, who was the great Albert Einstein’s nephew: “Even in small quantities sodium fluoride is a deadly poison to which no effective antidote has ever been found.” For those wishing a more complete reading on this subject, please reference “The Crime and Punishment of I.G. Farben,” by Joseph Borken."
I don't floss, I typically brush once a day, and I drink a lot of soda.
"Your teeth and gums look great! You do a very good job at home. You must floss often."
"No, virtually never."
"Oh, then you must brush at least twice a day."
"No, I usually forget to do it at night."
"Well whatever you're doing, keep it up because your gums look great and there was only one spot I could see that could have used a little extra attention when brushing."
I'm not sure if my dentist is nuts or if I have been blessed with immunity from bad oral hygiene.
I had braces for about five years. My orthodontist was terrible and I probably need braces again which is half the reason I haven't been to a dentist in years (the other reason, of course, is money).

i cannot fall asleep without flossing.
maybe next year...

Also I have one baby tooth remaining. Its replacement doesn't exist apparently, so the Dentist checks it carefully to make it last.
Believe it or not this thread may spur me to fix that. I gotta find a sedation dentist or something though to knock my ass out that first time I go back in so I don't worry.
Never fails to crank up my anxiety and I always leave with bleeding gums, plus I have to pay them for the pleasure! Not fun!
Also Flynt Flossy but that's a completely other kind of thing.

Luckily people don't really notice your bottom teeth are fucked when you smile but it made playing the sax a bitch
Also dentists make MAD BANK which is not to be overlooked
Two root canals? That's rent for the month
but if you are not using this shit
you're doing it wrong.

but really, it's better to play the odds.
What it means is I need periodontal surgery to prevent my teeth from eventually falling out of my head.
Dammit.
just got a letter telling me my works benefits have to drop dental
: \
"it looks like you might need braces", he said
I didn't say anything to that, mostly because my mouth was full of cotton and surgical steel
"do you want braces?"
"no"
and that's how I talked my way out of getting braces
I had to wear headgear for a while during the night. That shit fucking hurts.
and whatever the stuff is they use to glue the brackets to your teeth tastes like butt.
then during the night I swallowed half of it. Those metal bits sure tear you up.
I was smart though, and didn't tell anyone.
