i think i need to start flossing

that might be a good idea. do you floss? is everyone supposed to floss or is that something that only those health freaks do?

 

i floss

its good for your gums

 

I need to do something about my gums. They're terrible sensitive and bleed a bit. Even after using copious amounts of listerine

 

see a dentist, ya proabably got to much tarter build up. they'll scrape it off your teeth with a metal hook for ya, mouth will feel like shit for a week though.

 

Man.... I'm afraid to go to the dentist by this point. I haven't been in 6 years. I really need to go though. Do you have to pay upfront or do they bill you? I can't afford to pay upfront but I have no problem dodging another bill.

 

i havent been to the dentist since i was little, ive had this metal thing in my mouth for like 10 years now. its like a metal bracket thing in the back of my mouth. im soo fucking scared of the dentist & i dont have health insurance so therefore i wont be surprised if i never go to the dentist again.

 

yea, they had to do a lot of cleaning for me. they pretty much told me i had to floss or else i'd get gingivitis

 

whats gingivitis?

 

gum disease, which can lead to more severe problems like periodontitis and then if still not treated, destruction of your bone and tooth loss...

 

My dentist wants partial payment at the time of services unless you have Ins. Just a cleaning is close to $200.00. Flossing and using a water pick will save you big $$$ in the years to come.

 

ive also heard that cocain is real bad for your teeth

 

brushing multiple times a day, plus flossing, and mouth wash can help immensely.

 

multiple times a day?!

 

Yeah it really is. Especially if you have a tendency to rub it on your gums

 

i have been sooo out of the loop here....

amazing what you can learn on the internet.

 

haha, yes. i brush after breakfast and before bed. i pick and floss after dinner. and use mouth wash after i brush before bed.

with a smile like yours, ya really should learn to take better care...don't want to ruin a pretty smile

 

Yeah it is. Thought you quit doing that anyway missy?

 

my teeth are fucking nasty anyways. but now that i know all this i am going to start brushing my teeth way more.

and adam, i really dont think you should care.

 

You would care if it were me.

 

I didn't used to floss so often until I got a bunch of cavities and now I TRY to floss every day but I sometimes forget.
