It's actually not. At least not visibly. Except the choppers in the back are kind of fucked up (I can see the cavities) but otherwise my teeth are fine, if a litttttttle bit yellowed- but it's hard to even tell unless you're really looking.

I guess that's the silver lining. Despite looking less than stellar and not feeling great (I can't chug a glass of milk out of the fridge because my teeth ache too much from the cold), I have never had any cavities.

Healthy but less-than-ideal aesthetically is probably better than the alternative I suppose.

Fluoride is fine for toothpaste and mouthwash, but it's really bad for the body if you ingest it, so don't drink water with fluoride added.

ITT: OCD

I brush my teeth 3 or 4 times a week, and I have never had a cavity. Nor have I had a problem with women or ever heard a complaint about my breath. Your mouth has its own cleaning system, if you don't fuck it up with coffee, soda, or cigarettes you will be fine. I bet the lot of you obsessive faggots are so worried about all the stupid shit (like your breath) that you can't even talk to women without a panic attack anyway.

NEVER. I develop a coat of fungi over my teeth, which protects them from cavity.

This, never had a cavity, sensitivity or any of that shit, ever.

Although they still yellow very fast, I have to get them professionally cleaned once a month or so to keep them in check.

Some peoples teeth obviously are more susceptible to staining and damage than others, so just brush as often as you need personally.

Can you elaborate, please? How about rinsing with warm salt water?

Also, I got braces a month and a half ago so I brush after every meal, floss nightly, and rinse with salt water. Before then I actually only brushed maybe two or three times a MONTH, and never had problems.

twice a day, atleast.
I've got no fillings and i've never had braces or any shit like that.

if you only brush your teeth twice a week you probably have terrible gum bacteria and severe plaque erosion.

I try to brush at least once a day, but I am increasingly out of the house for days at a time and in no situation to bring, buy, or borrow toiletries.

Thankfully I have great genes in this area. I've had just a single cavity. I have a full mouth of strong, straight teeth. I could not brush for a week and it wouldn't do me any harm. I only floss when there's something caught between my teeth.

I have biannual dental checkups and zero complications since my wisdom teeth were removed four years ago.

On the flip side, my doctor and my gynecologist both think I'm going to get some kind of uterus cancer in the next 15 years, unless I take birth control.

Which I won't.

Because I don't want to menstruate more often(which is the problem; I bleed, at most, once every three months, and the buildup from infrequent shedding of the uterine lining will most likely lead to complications) and I certainly don't want any more female hormones in my body. I'm only 20, so no one wants to discuss the possibility of a hysterectomy yet. Because I might want to have a child some day.

I mean, it's not like I would kill myself if I had to carry a baby to term.

Twice a day without fail. I used to always forget to brush at night, but now I've managed to get into the routine and I don't feel like sleeping without brushing first. A few years ago I used to be addicted to biscuits and chocolate chip cookies, but my gums started receeding and I had a few cavities, where one tooth had to be removed and replaced with a gold inlay. That made me start taking care of my teeth, before then I thought brushing once daily was enough, regardless of what I ate.

I'm a dental student. First year. One of the first things I learn about tooth brushing (and oral heal care, in general) is that you are supposed to brush at least twice a day. Morning and night. Flossing once a day should suffice.

1) Floss (to remove plaque, so that fluoride can reach more places).
2) Brush.
3) Rinse (with water, not too many times. One or two rinses. You want to have minute amounts of residual fluoride remaining.)
4) Use mouthrinse?
5) ?????
6) PROFIT!

I use mouthwash and and brush twice a day. Sometimes I brush in the middle of the day depending on what I ate. If I had something like an apple with the skin on or low calorie popcorn, I'll brush and floss immediately cause I don't want that shit in my teeth all day.

Also, if I have a cheat day that involves food like, I dunno, chicken wings, I'll brush right after.

I went to a bad dentist until I was about 12. That guy woudn't even do x-rays! Didn't go for another 8 years. After another visit to that idiot I changed my dentist to someone who is actually pretty good. I got six composite fillings now. No tooth pulling thank god.

Recently, I went to see the dental hygienist. (who was pretty cute girl even) My teeth look great once again, so I'm happy.

Oh, and I brush twice a day.

I heard it's bad to brush after you eat/drink acidic stuff. Gotta let your mouth return to normal pH values first or else you'll be brushing with acid. Or so I've heard.

You've heard correctly. It's bad to brush your teeth before or after drinking anything acidic because your enamel is really weak. It's also bad to use mouthwash after brushing because it rinses off all the fluoride right away.

>>273798

You're brushing too often. You're probably doing more harm than good to your teeth. There IS such a thing as too much toothpaste. You shouldn't brush more than three times a day or else you might be damaging your enamel. It's the same thing with hair washing, if you wash your hair too often you might actually start losing hair because you're damaging the follicles.

Also, how do you even have time to brush five fuckin times a day? Do you brush your teeth during work or school or something? That's just obsessive.

I had horrid baby teeth. Like, I had at least 8 cavities before the age of 12. And, my baby teeth had roots like adult teeth, so the adult teeth came in behind the baby teeth, and the baby teeth had to be pulled. Not a single one of my baby teeth fell out on their own. All the while I was brushing twice a day like I was supposed to.

After a childhood of being LOL SHARK KID, my teeth where really fucked, so I got braces. It was too much effort to brush my teeth with the braces on, so I brushed maybe once a week. I got them off- no cavities!

Four years later, I've gotten into brushing once in the morning, and flossing once every couple of days. I now have the beginnings of a cavity.

Fuck brushing my teeth.

I don't see how if you should avoid using mouthwash after brushing, then at what point do you have time to use mouthwash at all? Brushing + mouthwash is a staple thing to do in the morning to freshen up from morning mouth and get ready for the day, so if we're supposed to avoid doing them together...what, wait around an hour after brushing before you allow yourself to use it? Or is brushing something to do directly after waking up, and Mouthwash something to do directly before you head out the door so that there's time between the two?

I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just wondering wtf you're supposed to do.

Wow. Did you not consider using mouthwash BEFORE brushing, dumbfuck? He said the reason not to use it afterwards was because it rinsed the toothpaste from your teeth, thus not allowing the fluoride to protect and strengthen them.
