Try not to think of Balonz when you’re using it, mate.

It’s coming up to nearly two years since my root canal. Never had tooth ache like it, it was horrific. Dentist couldn’t find any source of decay and said that the infection was due to teeth moving (??) because I had a brace when I was younger.

#24

Had 4 teeth removed when I had my brace fitted. None removed since.

Same I was really half heartedly offered them. I wish the dentist had made the case better and I’d said yes.

Need a poll option for 0.5 (halfway through - not budging)

Had around 6 out at once when I was about 12 “to make room”, they gave me gas to put me under which I had a bad reaction to, apparently causing panic in the surgery. Then afterwards when I was sat in my mum’s car waiting to go home while she was shopping I threw up a load of gross, thick blood and stuff :nauseated_face:

Also my mouth felt like a WWI battlefield for weeks.

I got one on the recommendation of my hygienist. Not used it in ages.

According to dentist’s x-rays I apparently have all my wisdom teeth but they’ve never come up.

My dentist told me to switch to an electric toothbrush. He also told me I failed to brush my teeth correctly and was likely rushing every time. Felt like I was read like a book. There’s nowhere to hide in that chair!

I obviously ignored his advice. Instead of switching to electric, I perfected my manual brushing technique.

Unless I’m going out in the evening, I’ll only brush them once. Got to 28 years so far without any falling out or rotting away - brushing before bed is a toothpaste industry conspiracy.

#34

Feel absolutely minging going to bed without brushing. Occasionally will give them a once over if I have dinner before going out, but more likely to just swill a bit of mouthwash

I like going to the hygienist. It is unnecessary, but some of my teeth are a bit crooked and get a bit stained, so it’s purely for aesthetic reasons.

There’s no real need to go to the dentist every 6 months, but it’s a huge money spinner for them. I work with a lot of GPs and it really irritates them. Mostly because they wish they had a similar thing going on.

If I’ve drunk white wine then I don’t brush before bed as I was told it can be bad for your enamel. Just have to accept that your morning breath will be honking

#39

You’re meant to do it before right? Something about brushing after scraping the acids from foods into your enamel or something like that? I eat breakfast at my desk anyway

I think so. Especially if you’re eating fruit
