ask a guy who hasn't been to dentist in 20 years anything

Ill start off with some F.A.Q.s to save time for some of the more obvious things that will surely arise during the course of this thread.

Are you poor?
Yes

Are your teeth jacked up?
I had 2 molars break, 30 and 19 on the universal tooth number chart. Both have had fillings from when I was a kid. Both of them had a piece fall off, but the fillings are still there. It has been like 10 years for one of them, and about 3 for the other. Food constantly gets stuck between 19 and 18 if I chew on the left side of my mouth. I have lived with this minor annoyance for a decade now.

Do your teeth hurt?
Nope, occasionally i will miss some of the food stuck in the above mentioned scenario, and it will get a little hurty. I purchased a dental kit from CVS years ago and the little picker thing fixes it right up.

No dental insurance?
Not until today, just started a new job with full benefits.

So you will be getting that fixed?
Fat chance, I hate the dentist.

Any cavities now?
Nah, I started taking excellent care of my oral cavity as a whole years ago. I am the Dental game Lebron James now.

What is your regimen like? Mouth cleaning wise....
Brush a few times a day, and always before bed. Mouthwash at night as well. Floss almost every day. I also use dental tools to remove plaque from the gumline weekly. I also brush my toungue and roof of mouth and gums gently on a regular basis, no set schedule though, just when I feel like it.

How are your gums?
Not fantastic, both of my parents had gumectomys. I think itrs partly genetic, and partly from not relaizing how hard I was brushing when I was younger.

That about covers it, so fire away sherbros! Ask me anything you want, totally related to oral hyugeine or otherwise, I have fantastic advice dispensing skills.

 

Could you speak farther away?

Farther.

 

I could but I wont.

 

Depends on what floats your boat.

 

Why don't you floss more often?

 

What's up with your grill?

Spoiler

 

Well, I suppose I could. I figured once a day was sufficient, but I will go back and re-examine this now. Thank you.

 

Nahhhhh fam. This is why I am trying to raise awareness. Neglect can lead to a myriad of health issues from mild discomfort to death. There is a strong correlation between gingival ailments and heart issues. Its not even debateable, people that do not take good care of their teeth cannot be healthy.

 

Oh my god I'm going to cry no no no

 

You're welcome, sir. There is a correlation between good dental hygiene and long life span. Remember me when you're 106.

 

How goes the single life?

 

How's the weather in Alabama?

How did you propose to your cousin?

 

I'm pretty sure dental hygiene is taught at schools. Your parents having gingivectomys was probably due to their bad hygiene. Seeing that you had terrible hygiene yourself says that you were never taught proper hygiene. Hygiene includes taking care of every single part of your body (diet, exercise, mental hygiene, sleep, etc). I wouldn't be surprised to hear that you're deficient in more than one area.

 

Is it safe?

 

What's a good cooking forum?

 

Assuming the flouride doesnt kill me before then I totally will.

 

Strontium 90, imo.

 

I see where you are going with this, and normally you would be correct to assume this. But I actaully have a hot GF. True story. My front teeth, both upper and lower are white as all heck, straight, and in good shape. Only real issue is fillings in molars from youthful carelessness.

 

Closest I have ever been to alabama is florida when I drove there 2 years ago. I live up north.
Also, I have not proposed to any of my cousins.
