You should have stopped at 4 fillings. - Bacon Aug 19, 15:24 6

- yeah, it was actually way easier than having fillings. and this tooth is already opened up, so should be fast. - colin Aug 19, 15:27 4
  - I had an exposed hole to a root bundle once. Had some food in it and used a water pick to get it out. - Bacon Aug 19, 15:30 3
    - yeah, dentist puffed air into the hole and that was.. rough. -- nm - colin Aug 19, 15:31 1
      - Yowie! -- nm - Bacon Aug 19, 15:32
    - ow ow ow -- nm - loosi in the sky with diamonds Aug 19, 15:31
Maybe you should stop drinking lye? - loosi in the sky with diamonds Aug 19, 15:23 19
- i need to floss more... ugh. my wife... no issues. i've always had bad teeth. -- nm - colin Aug 19, 15:28 16
  - I'm the rare person who actually flosses daily. My dental hygienist is always so happy with me. -- nm - Kim Pine Aug 19, 15:36 4
    - It takes 15 seconds. I really don't understand why people are so unwilling to do it. -- nm - David Aug 19, 15:51 2
      - Well, for people in TN, it's easy. Just wrap the 3 teeth and you're done. - Will Hunting Aug 19, 15:57 1
        
        ^this. -- nm - Remlik Aug 19, 16:14
    - after this, no more. don't know why i don't, but this is an expensive painful reminder that it's worth the 2 minutes a day. -- nm - colin Aug 19, 15:38
  - I am bad at flossing too. Something that has really helped me are those plastic flossers because you can floss anytime -- nm - Bacon Aug 19, 15:31 8
    - You know what motivates me? My mom got full dentures when she was 35. -- nm - loosi in the sky with diamonds Aug 19, 15:31 6
      - Wow -- nm - Bacon Aug 19, 15:39 5
        
        and that's why you should floss. gum disease is how you lose your teeth. -- nm - loosi in the sky with diamonds Aug 19, 15:45 4
        
        Also, Quebec = no fluoride in the water -- nm - Roger More Aug 19, 16:16 2
        
        true -- nm - loosi at home Aug 19, 18:00
        
        Portland Oregon as well does not have flouride -- nm - Bacon Aug 19, 16:53
        
        It also impacts your health in other ways. -- nm - Kim Pine Aug 19, 16:15
    - The ones that are 3 bucks for a bag of 100 or so -- nm - Bacon Aug 19, 15:31
  - I do too. I think a lot of it is genetic. No crowns or root canals yet. I try to floss every day. -- nm - loosi in the sky with diamonds Aug 19, 15:29 1
    - i just go way too long between cleanings and checkups. -- nm - colin Aug 19, 15:31
- Mountain Dew is a lye?! -- nm - Beryllium Aug 19, 15:26 1
  - One is horrible for your teeth and the other can be used to make soap -- nm - Bacon Aug 19, 15:28
