>>5Whenever I have an emergency, I have health insurance but no dental insurance, so no one is going to take me unless I have I need to pull out my teeth. I have lost 3 so far.

Once a year because I never had dental issues. If I had one I would go to the dentist without a wait.
No.27
Actually saw them this week, was concerned about a wisdom tooth coming in, told me it's fine and to lay off the sugary drinks.
Drinking soda through a straw now and will try to remember that for the future.
No.33
I'm thinking about going to one soon because I have tooth pain on and off. It's probably nothing, but it wouldn't hurt to make sure.

i went to the dentist for the first time in around 20 years a couple of months ago. had to get a root canal and a crown but otherwise they said my teeth looked good for 20 years of no dental advice.

Never. Sometimes I'll get tooth pain after eating lots of sugary sweets, then I'll go on a low sugar diet for a while and the pain stops. Then I can go back to a moderately sugary diet and there's still no pain as long as I don't start shoveling down cake or something. Also I haven't brushed in almost 20 years but I chew sugar-free gum after almost every meal or snack (always after anything sugary).
No.2980
>>2957That sounds awful. You should take better care of yourself.
No.2992
>>2982The combination of eating lots of sugar and not brushing causes the pain, so instead of brushing you can just not eat much sugar and clean your teeth with gum after every meal which takes no time unlike brushing which wastes hundreds of hours of your life. Not eating much sugar also grants you the added bonus effect of not being obese or diabetic.
No.3007
>>2992>unlike brushing which wastes hundreds of hours of your lifeIt's not just sugar that messes up your teeth and brushing them only takes like 4 minutes tops twice a day. I have no fucking idea how you think using gum is gonna make it any better (unless it's sugar-free, but even then it's still not a replacement). And you don't have to buy toothpaste. You can make your own relativity easy for cheap.
No.3010
>>3008Still not a replacement and it all depends on the gum you use. Most gums are not good for your teeth.
