Dental interlude: I’m a little late posting today… — 7 Comments

  1. I only changed two things to quit helping my dentist buy new vehicles. I still only brush twice a day and floss irregularly though.

    I brush about twice as long each time. And I try to make sure I’m not eating or drinking anything for at least a half-hour, not water, nothing afterwards. That’s for the fluoride to sit on the teeth.

    That’s it.

  2. groundhog:

    I take such good care of my teeth that I regularly get compliments on them from hygienists and dentists.

    My problems are mostly congenital, plus the fact that my fillings and crowns are old and sometimes they give up the ghost and have to be replaced.

  3. You have my sympathy for the ongoing discomfort and frustration. Glad for your serendipitous improvement. I am thankful for my good teeth and my own wonderful, nurturing dentist. I see her next week for a checkup.

  4. Whereas my hygienist says she still finds plenty of plaque, but it just scrapes of with no underlying effect.

    I swear, it’s fluoride soaking, not the cleaning that made the difference. I don’t lose old fillings anymore. My teeth don’t wear out so nothing comes loose.

    Well, I’m convinced, if nobody else is. : )

  5. I’ve had so much dental technique — that I have a permanent invite at the local dental college.

    It takes the trainees 25 minutes to describe all of the work.

    Horrific childhood chickenpox did me in.

  6. Sympathy Neo. I am also in the process of getting another crown; got the temp today.

    A bit of advice to all.. If you are an ice chewer, break the habit. Not easy. Easier, I think, to quit smoking.

    Actually the Dentist, perhaps to make me feel better, suggested that it is more likely age related. That, and back in my youth I was a soft drink (RC Cola in the south) junkie, and have a mouth full of fillings, surrounded by fragile tooth material.

    Happily, cavities are ancient history.

    Must be a fad – got my temporary crown fitted yesterday.
