Got another inmate coming in this afternoon, should be a fun time. I'll update later.
Sometimes this shit makes me pretty beat down. I made a full set of dentures for an 18 year a few years back, was his graduation present from his parents. Heartbreaking. Kid had never touched a toothbrush. Parents had the mentality of "my grandparents had bad teeth and dentures, I had bad teeth and dentures, he will have bad teeth and dentures". Sure enough, that's what happened. Pro tip. That's not how it works. It's not genetic, unless you have an actual genetic deficiency (which is pretty rare). No you didn't get the bad teeth from your parents, you got the piss poor hygiene and you drink soda all day every day. I had an instructor in dental school that was a retired Navy dentist. Really cool interesting guy. He always told patients, dentistry isn't expensive, neglect is. That's the damn truth. I hear all the time "nah doc, it doesn't hurt, I'll fix it when it does". Ok, well it could be fixed with a filling right now, when it hurts it's either a root canal and crown or it's cold steel and sunshine (extraction). |

Tell me this O cause I’ve been curious for awhile
Does coffee stain the teeth regardless of hygiene habits? Or does it all come back to just brushing your damn teeth |

It stains.
It can be removed if it's an extrinsic stain, but coffee tea etc, will stain. |

It takes a while and a lot to really stain it that bad, but they'll stain. Don't do whitening if you aren't gonna cut back on any habits that cause stain. People all the time "I wanna whiten my teeth, but I won't stop drinking 5 cups of coffee per day". Well ok then. |

How often do you floss O.City? How many people still think they can get away with lying about how much they floss?

My hygienist grills people about their habits all the time, I don't anymore. I have a big window in my office, I've extracted teeth and watched people walk out the door, stand in front of my window and light a cigarette after I just said "don't smoke, it increases risk of dry socket". They always say "oh yeah, I brush and floss daily". So your gums bleed when I touch them because....? Or that shit that looks like bread on your teeth just got there in the last 30 minutes? Ok. Cool. People are gonna do what they want. They don't listen. I just tell them their options and they can choose what they wanna do. "I care as much about your teeth as you do". |

also i am terrible about flossing - i do it, just very sporadically, i do brush 2x regularly and mouthwash - and just went to the dentist this morning, wasn't bad but i always have some plaque they have to scrape off, usually takes 20 minutes or so
how much do they hate me? i assume not so much since they see people with total nuclear fallout mouths |

I've drained a lot thru the actual tooth. Open the tooth to do a root canal and it will drain out. |
