    Do you have nice teeth? Have you had any cavities, and if so, how many?

    I would say I have nice teeth. Since I don't smoke or drink coffee, my teeth are pretty white. I also managed to make it 26 years without a single cavity. When I went to the dentist last October I had a cavity, but it was very, very small. I was kind of surprised since I brush my teeth like 3 times a day (when I am not working), which is more than I brushed when I was younger.

    I also wore braces for several years in middle school, so my teeth are pretty much straight, though they have shifted a small bit since the braces were removed and I have a slight gap between my two front teeth.

    I have good teeth. I had I think three fillings in my molars when I was younger, which I think need to be refilled or worked on or something. My teeth are really white though. I brush a lot.

    I got braces when I was 18, paid for them myself, I have had cavities and a root canal, my teeth look a lot better than they use too, I brush them so that tends to help...

    my teeth are pretty healthy. i've had 2 cavities so far; both of which were small enough that they were filled without novacaine, and i didn't feel a thing. then one of the fillings fell out, and they did shoot me up for that one...

    my dentist thinks i have acid reflux because apparently the enamel is wearing off on the backs of my teeth, and my molars are grinding down too fast because i sometimes grind my teeth and because my front teeth don't quite come together, putting extra pressure on the back ones.

    i was technically supposed to wear braces when i was younger, but it wasn't that severe and we didn't have the money for it. so like i mentioned, my front bite doesn't quite come together. i also have one canine tooth that is pretty far out of line with the rest of my teeth, and my mouth is slightly too small for my bottom front teeth so they are scrunched together a little bit. overall though, my teeth look pretty straight and nice unless you are specifically looking for problems.

    oh yeah I forgot to mention that I have a pretty bad problem with grinding my teeth in my sleep :(

    it hasn't really affected the way teeth look when I smile though so it's alright

    Depakote I believe is used to treat bipolar disorder.

    Oh, and an anticonvulsant as Dave just pointed out.

    yeah, it's one of the more mood stabilizing anticonvulsants, it's also used to treat headaches, since it does a number on the vagus nerve, and sodium channels.

    i have pretty nice teeth since i got my front tooth fixed. i had chipped my top right front tooth - had 2 fracture, horizontal and vertical. capping it didn't work, they kept breaking off. so i kept it chipped for a while. now its crowned and looks much much better. i did have braces in middle school. since then, my bottom teeth have shifted a bit, but i'm not really all that worried about it.

    i did have some cavities. not too many though

    For a smoker and tea drinker, my teeth are pretty white. They are perfectly arranged, but way too big and forward.. like rabbit teeth. I should have worn braces longer than a year.. orginally it was supposed to be 4 years..

    My teeth look great... its a beautiful lie.

    I have had more filling than I have teeth, and still need more done. I have poor enamel.I go to the dentist every month to get spot filling,and every 3 to 6 mo to get deep cleanings.

    On the plus side, they are naturally straight - and even my dentist is surprised I never had braces.

    lets just say my teeth are not the same shape that they used to be. I grind my front teeth pretty much always, so they're grinded down a whole lot, and I used to suck my thumb all the time (i still do occasionally) so my teeth are kind of fucked from that. but whatever, they still work great.
    i haven't had a cavity since i had baby teeth still, and i use toothpaste sans fluoride.
    oh, and i drink coffee and tea, my teeth aren't pearly white, but again, they do their job. everytime i go to the dentist they say "you're teeth look great. are you brushing at least twice a day and flossing?" and i'm like "...yeah..." and they're like "i can tell. keep up the good work."
    but i lie to them, i brush my teeth like once a day at most and sometimes i forget to. and i pretty much never floss. But obviously that is good enough.
    lol

    I had a couple cavities when I had baby teeth, but my teeth have these really steep crevices to them. I don't think my teeth are exceptionally white, they are very iridescent is how the dentist described them, and recommended that I start using an enamel strengthening toothpaste. I drink a lot of tea. I have very big, rounded feminine looking teeth for my mouth.

    I had a cavity in behind my top front tooth, when my permanent retainer broke off partially and gave me a little cavity there. My dentist then decided to remove my permanent retainers and made me one to wear at night instead.

    He filled in my teeth, because they are too jagged and sharp and he smoothed them out a bit as a couple cavities were about to begin, he thought.

    But he says my teeth are beautiful. I adore brushing my teeth. It feels amazing to me. I love flossing and enjoy taking care of my teeth, I always brush and wear my retainer at night.

    When I have trouble sleeping, I get out of bed to go brush my teeth. It's just so comforting.
