Good morning goons! Let’s talk about how to keep our teeth and gums healthy. A lot of people brush and floss with the right intentions, but can miss crucial areas during cleaning. This opens up the door for plaque, gingivitis, and cavities! I got a waterpik for a few weeks ago and am finally learning how to use it correctly (and without getting water everywhere). It’s kinda cool but it’s VERY LOUD. I’ve kept traditional floss around just to see if anything gets left behind, but I think I got the technique down because I hardly see much, if anything anymore. Then I managed to pick up a Sonicare toothbrush over the weekend on clearance and it’s actually quieter than the $5 disposable electric toothbrushes I used. I feel late in transitioning to all electronic oral care. Still have mixed feelings, but it feels wild whenever I have to use a traditional toothbrush. So let’s talk about all things teeth and gums here! 🆗 e: thread music: Mozi posted:well i'm mozi and i'm here to rap buglord fucked around with this message at 14:33 on Jan 29, 2018 |

I like the Sonicare but I've learned to put the drat thing in my mouth before starting it up when I have fresh toothpaste on it. Otherwise, it'll just fling off. Waterpiks are neat. Had one in the 90s. Pull all teeth and eat paste. It's probably cheaper.

Electric toothbrush: primary is an oral b black 7000. Secondary is a philips Sonicare DiamondClean I rarely use, having received it as a gift a few months after buying the oral b. Floss pick: Listerine reach flosser. Waterpick: waterpik wp100.

I saw a bunch of discounted ones there the other day. $125 for some $250 toothbrush that has fuckin Bluetooth inside it for some reason I shoulda bought one cause my teeth are rotting out of my gums and I'm too poor to use the dental insurance I've been paying for Stevie Lee fucked around with this message at 14:31 on Jan 29, 2018 |

Yeah target. One was regular 60 and I got it for 27. Doesn’t have the Bluetooth mumbojumbo but it’s still a Sonicare.

don't just brush your teeth, remember to also clean your tongue and gargle some water so you don't get tonsil stones (which smell loving awful from what I've read)

I used to use a sonicare. My dentist said it was loving up my gums or something from brushing too hard and I should switch to whatever oral b equivalent at the time was. I'm sure it was just a coincidence that his office was selling exclusively oral b products. Now I just use a regular one because mine started doing this thing where it would randomly turn on and off. I'd keep waking up to it bugging out multiple times a night and during brushing i had to start it up like 20 times before I was done because it would shut off. Eventually I just let it run until the battery died and I threw it out.

I have a sonicare and a rotadent. I use glide floss and sensodyne toofpaste. And I chew gum after I eat if I am out and about. And I brush my tongue when I brush my teeth.

I have a sonicare toothbrush and floss occasionally with those flossed pick things I found a great dentist with TVs on the ceiling and I watch Netflix while having my teeth worked on. I watched planet earth II while getting a crown FYI

My dentist keeps recommending me to get my wisdom teeth taken out but I'm just not eager to have that done. I probably should though because complications from not doing it seem inevitable. They're hard to brush. I feel like I'm gonna keep delaying doing it though until they tell me I'll die if I dont or something

I went about six years without seeing a dentist when I was in my late teens/early twenties. It was driven mostly by apathy and insurance issues. When I finally went I had something like 8 cavities, one crown, and a root canal. I also went ahead and got my wisdom teeth out during that time because why not. It was a 'sedation' procedure so I don't remember anything except drooling in the car on the car ride home. I go twice per year now and I'm taking better care of my teeth (although I don't floss regularly). I haven't had any cavities in the last year. My dentist has a pretty sweet painting of a lobster on the exam room wall.

I have a sonicare. Flossing is more important and I really want a waterpik because it seems like it'd be more fun than standard flossing and encourage me to do it more. My aesthetic teeth look great, but my functional teeth are kind of hosed, so I can't eat gummy worms anymore but I look really nice when I smile still

Waterpiks are cool but dont expect a miracle off the bat, because its quite a learning curve to use. maybe it isnt for most people and im just a dumb GBS poster, but it wasnt as easy as the tutorial videos led me to believe. that said, I really enjoy it now.

I brush twice a day, and I try to floss at least every other day. I haven't been to the dentist in almost eight years, but none of my teeth hurt and my gums don't bleed when I floss. ....also, I had a really bad experience at a dentist's office once and it scares the poo poo out of me to go now.

I know there’s a growing dentist “market” for people with similar hurdles. Chances are maybe someone there knows more about oral sedation.

The problem is the cleanings. I had a scary dentist(the only one my lovely insurance would cover) who did a really violent cleaning job and really hosed me up. Like, he was holding the little pick thing overhand while he was angrily digging away at my teeth and gums. So, after that I was sitting there with my own mouth blood smeared all over my face and this dentist gets up and yells something at his hygienist and kicks the wastebasket on the way out. I just remember the scared look on her face, and the fact that she was crying a little while she helped me wash the blood off my face. I reported him to my insurance, and considered waiting for his funky old rear end in the parking lot, but he literally retired two weeks later and nothing became of the whole event.

I hate when dentist do that thing where they put pressure on your tooth with the sharp pic thing. Stop trying to punch a hole in my tooth, drat it. Or the loving doctor gets some twisted pleasure in asking you questions after getting your mouth full of gauze and other poo poo.

I hate when they check gum depth or whatever the gently caress by poking you in the gums with that sharp rod. Also hate when they miss when trying to scrape off plaque and accidentally poke me in a sensitive gum area, but I forgive them.

I don’t like the drilling sound, but aside from that the only thing I don’t like about dentists is the bill. Even with insurance it can get pricey.

Here, stick some folded pointy piece of plastic around your back molars and just try to ignore the stabbing pain or your gag reflex otherwise we gotta start all over again. That single event is why I haven't set up an intake appointment for a dentist.

So what's a decent electric toothbrush that isn't fuckin' $250? I've been wanting to go electric for a while but I have no idea what the difference is between a $35 one and one that's a couple hundred bucks and don't want to go too cheap and get a lovely brush, but also don't want to waste a lot of money on something that's not any better than something else half it's price.

Please be sure to pick up the habit of flossing if you don't already. Your date will thank you for not having nasty horrible breath.
