Hey City, So it was about 5-6 years since I went to the dentist, I went today. I was nervous because it had been so long that something was going to be wrong. I thought they would be picking around in there and all of a sudden I was going to feel a sharp pain or something.... But nope- still cavity free. Yet to have a single cavity in my life. And my wisdom teeth had grown in since the last time I went to the dentist and they are perfect- so I get to keep them and avoid a painful recovery. So it got me thinking - how does everyone take care of their teeth? I brush my teeth atleast two times a day, somedays 3. No mouthwash- fuck that shit its just another step (and I cannot stand the taste of any mouth wash- reminds me of hard alcohol everytime). And floss- well I've never developed a regular flossing routine (but the hygenist reccomended I start- she said there were a couple areas of heavy plaque). Just a soft tooth brush- very regular toothbrush no rubber things for massaging or anthing crazy like that. And some Crest Citrus Splash toothpaste- fruit flavored toothpaste is amazing, I hate that minty gel shit- makes me want to vomit first thing in the morning. O yea, and I stay away from soda and candy as much as possible. Thats about all I've done to take care of the chompers the past few years. I don't want filings, or crowns, or dentures or anything like that. It'd be awsome to keep all my teeth till the day I die. So again- whats your dental hygiene like? EDIT:: Never had to have braces or anything like that. I did have sealents put on the teeth more towards the front of my mouth when I was around 12 or so though
I've never had a cavity either. I'm sick. You're sick. Hurray for brushing our teeth! I used to brush 'em 2 times every single day no matter what. I sometimes only brush them in the morning now though.
I brush my teeth now, but back in the day, hardly ever. I got a few filled cavitys, but since Ive been brushing I havent had any.
My dad is a dentist, so My dad would shit a chicken if I didn't brush and floss at least twice a day, I still do... cept flossing, i only do that at night.
