I used to think this way, but you will regret this later and end up spending even more money. You need healthy teeth to enjoy your life and will realize this when things get even worse. Not to mention, bad teeth/gums also affect the rest of your body.

This. You're supposed to go for a checkup once every 6 months. Do that, floss and brush twice a day with an electric toothbrush and you wont have any issues.

flossing is actually extremely important btw, they dont tell you to do it every time you get a checkup for no reason.

This, even worse is how they break it up and don't really explain it to tell you in the meantime. So about 4 years ago I had a root canal. Then afterwards they're like okay we'll see you in a month for the crown, ask about the price on that, north of 2k. Fuck you. Long story short, I got a root canal years ago with no crown, and likely need another one on the other side. Basically my mouth is a ticking time bomb.

same here senpai, drank shitloads of soda most of my life and was horribly inconsistent with brushing my teeth, now over the past 3 years I have/had some 25+ major appointments to fix my teeth, from bridge work to crowns, fillings, and pulled teeth, the pain/discomfort alone makes me regret not taking care of them, let alone all the time and money spent.

I've had bad dentists. For example, the long-time family practicioner I used to go to. I cracked a tooth on a seed that was in a slice of bread. The dentist ground out the tooth and did a root canal which was fucked up because he didn't fully kill the nerve, so now there is a sensitive spot in my face where the nerve still lives.

I have a latex allergy, and for the crown, the dentists insisted using the standard Gutta Percha which is a kind of natural latex. I had to fight hard to get him to order the synthetic stuff and reschedule. Having the constant presence of allergic material in my body would have been kind of a shitty outcome for me.

He kept telling me every time I should get my wisdom teeth taken out (partially erupted) as "prevention". My brother had this done and got all sorts of dry socket, problems, etc. To this day I do not have major problems with them even though they are hard to get at.

He also tried to convince me to get the metal fillings, the ones that off-gas mercury, saying it was no problem. I am also allergic to metals like nickel, so again I had to insist. His UV-composite fillings became detached and I had to go back in and get them redone.

I found out from casual conversations that this guy was a Mormon. Reflecting on the craziness of that particular cult, it all clicked for me and I found another dentist.

This new dentist is a chill young family practice specialist with modern equipment, and told me that the wisdom teeth weren't necessary to replace unless there were problems. The cleanings were done with up-to-date techniques, and his fillings were always perfect. He talked about staying up to date on new techniques and research and was generally all-around a cool dude.

tl'dr there are great dentists, but also very shitty dentists, and I suggest you shop around and don't just go to the one you've always gone to or has been the family practitioner. Schedule a cleaning, look into the background of the doc.

my parents were retarded, they didn't take me to the dentist as a kid not even once. i never knew to brush my teeth twice a day and floss until i was in my 20s, i just brushed in the morning most of my life. And also drank soda regularly. All in all in my case, things could have been much worse, im going to brush my teeeth three times a day now, yes, even after eating lunch in the middle of the day.

The Dental Jew is one of the worlds biggest rackets. An absolute con. Similar to how (((they))) steal your foreskine at birth, (((They))) also steal your teeth during lifetime and coerce you into willingly 'brushing' with mind altering (((fluoride))) and poisoning you with (((mercury))) tooth fillings. Sometimes they even put micro chips into the fillings on behalf of the CIA or FBI to control your mind. Make no mistake about it, BigDental is a Jewish trick that needs exposing.

Yeah same. Can't afford to do anything right now. I didn't get any wisdoms taken out, so they've pushed all my front teeth forward and made them all crooked. Also didn't even brush for years, and I mean years. Eventually went for a check up cause I had pain and they cleaned (for 400 mind you) and now the bottom middle teeth are loose along with being crooked.

I had nice teeth in highschool. Becoming neet for 10 years just fucked them all up. Totally my fault.

Hope I can fix them eventually. Maybe if I save enough or link goes 1000eoy I'll be able to get implants or veneers. I don't think I can do much with the loose teeth at this point.

It's not a whitening toothpaste. I forget the name of the active ingredient, but it fills in enamel. It regenerates your teeth, sort of. No meme either, there's plenty of studies done on the ingredient. Fluoride has a monopoly in the west though, so it'll never take off.
