Dentistfag here. Quarantine is boring and havent made one of these in a looong time. AMA
I ll get the common boring ones out of the way.
1 Fluoride aint bad for you, muricans. And there's no conspiracy to mind control or poison anyone.
2 I dont mind not being a medical doctor. Never wanted to be one tbh
3 Not going to the dentist for months/years and not having major oral health problems pretty much means you re very lucky and got good genes
Any thought about committing suicide yet?
are you ethnic white? genuinely curious
not rly. im living a fking awesome life. I do understand some who do think avout it, though
What toothpaste should I use?
The anti- fluoride people are fucking retarded. Same retard boat as the 5g is the devil people and the colloidal silver cures everything people.
>7 years since a dentist cleaned my mouth.
>Brush my teeth once a day
>Floss my teeth once a week
>No problems whatsoever
Am I lucky?
depends on what you define as ethnic white.
im greek. dont consider myself black, sand nigger or aryan white. never rly cared anyway.
threads aking fun of niggers are hilarious to me though.
any non-whitening from a well known brand should be good
pretty much your hygiene takes care of you. if your gums start bleeding or plaque starts to form you should go for a cleaning. lucky in a sense that you havent got gingivitis yet but nothing groundbreaking. keep up the good work
I have an abscessed tooth, during this isolation time is emergency dental work an essential business? I'm in a lot of pain
what do when you have a small black point on the tooth? (Picture related)
I have very healthy teeth i floss, brush my teeth twice a day but didn't go to a dentist for around 15 years
What are the effects of having your orthodontics done late. I currently can't pay for it and I probably won't for some years. I was recommended to do it at 14 and am 20 at the moment
Ever drop a dental tool in somebodys mouth? A tooth you pulled out? Basically anything?
Also. How can I know if Ive got halitosis during the day since it's hard to smell on my own. Should I be worried even if I floss and brush my teeth regurally?
Not op but hell yes it is
drink your fluoride goyim chuggle it all up! drinky drinky yay! drink deep goyim!
How often would you recommend getting a cleaning?
I had a failed root canal break off but the bottom of the tooth and the roots are still in there. It doesn't hurt and it's not infected but I've been afraid to go to the dentist to have it removed because of the covid thing. How risky would is it for me to put this off?
>3 Not going to the dentist for months/years and not having major oral health problems pretty much means you re very lucky and got good genes
Last time I went to the dentist I was 10-11. I'm 36 now and no dental problems :D
Funny thing, both my parents have lots of problems...
I've had an impacted wisdom tooth for >5 years. Is it necessary to remove it if I don't have symptoms? (just mild pain not too often).
What can I do if most of my teeth have cavities and my molars are missing chunks?
Dentures lmao
i try not going to my office unless its an emergency. I usually tell my patients over the phone to take some antibiotics and painkillers till the quarantine is over. seems to work fine for the past 3-4 weeks.
hmmm that looks like a healthy tooth. mostly coloring on it. not everything black is bad for you. I do see however something that looks like a "white-spot lesion" which could indicate early carries. shouldnt be a major problem but if you can go to dentist to make sure.
nowadays ANYONE can get ortho. i ve had patients do it in their 60s and their smiles are absolutely beautiful. orthos can work wonders with today's tech and knowledge.
hmmm i have dropped a crown before i cemented it in a guys mouth. went to the back of his throat. he coughed it out thankfully but i shat myself a little during those 2 seconds.
ask a gf/bf/family member. they ll know :)
one a year
more answers coming
what is the effect of sperm on teeth?
i haven't gone to the dentist for 3 years, how fucked am i?
>Fluoride aint bad for you
yes it is fuckhead
it's a poison and we don't want it in our water
you can't make me faggot
you can't make me drink that shit
do u guys alter teeth of people to get them to come back for braces
For someone with perio is a softer brush better?
Also, is pic related legit or no better than scope or listeria?
I'm in the same boat. Would like to get an answer for this.
If you've ever drank from anything other than your own personal well, then yes, you've drank water with flouride at some point.
Restaurant?
Someone else's house?
BEEN TO A DENTIST?
Yeah, get fucked, smoothbrain.
how many hot chicks have you molested while they were knocked out?
I always see soft bristle toothbrushes but never hard bristle or anything like that. Do they exist and more importantly, why would one need a hard bristle (or anything but soft bristle) brush?
if the gums heal over it and there was no infected tooth left inside then it is a valid practice to leave it in there. its not done regularly though, only in extreme cases. i ve done it twice on hard surgical extractions. still check up on the buried roots but so far its fine. you should keep an eye on it and go to a dentist after the quarantine.
genetics are not just what your parents have
nope. there are 2 schools of thought in dentistry. i prefer the conservative aproach. if it aint broke dont fix it. both of my lower 3rd molars are impacted but they dont cause any problems so i just leave them there.
get advice for better hygiene, use lots of fluoride and make sure your brushing technique is top notch. your dentist will take care of the rest
none to my knowledge. shouldnt do anything. its mostly protein. snowballed with my gf once. didnt get cancer
depends. cant answer unless i can examine your mouth
lol we stopped putting it in water in developed countries cause we managed to teach people that brushing is good. some areas still put it in water though.
nope
generally yes. a medium one should be fine unless you have major perio. not sure about the ones you named cuz they dont exist in my country and i dont know whats in them. anything that contains 0.12% chlorhexidine should be good for 1-2 months and the rest of the year use a "daily" one. try to avoid listerine or any mouthwash that contains alcohol
more coming
Why cant you bring a cellphone into surgery when at the dentist? Like when I got my wisdom teeth pulled they made a point multiple times that I shouldnt have my phone, leave it with the person driving me home.
Is it because they dont want that shit ringing or something? Does it affect equipment? Are they insulting us and worried about recordings? Whats going on?
when knocked out, how many dudes get erections? What do the chicks do or say when that happens?
>3 Not going to the dentist for months/years and not having major oral health problems pretty much means you re very lucky and got good genes
could you point out that after brushing you DON'T wash your mouth immediately but 15 minutes after?
>genetics are not just what your parents have
ok
also, are problems related to wisdom teeth normal or just bad luck? I mean, like I said, I didn't have any problem at all but I see people complaining all the time.
Why do dentists have such a high suicide rate?
thank you
Ever groped a chick while shes on the gas?
answered above
its illegal to knock people out in greece. we only use local anesthetics. i have operated with a team under total anesthesia but there's too many people involved. i do take the occasional peek down blouses or look at thongs when chicks spit in the sink beside them.
hard bristles are obsolete. they have no use anymore. most companies dont sell em. they do exist but only because certain maniacs will buy them (some people like feeling their gums hurt after brushing cuz it makes them think that they did a good job)
nah prob none of that. most likely so you dont lose it while you re high.
nothing really. any total anesthesia procedure is pretty professional. we do joke around and have fun but its almost always on unrelated topics to the patient.
thats a rly good point. you can spit after brushing. but the more you dont rinse, eat or drink after brushing, the better the protection from the fluoride and bioglasses from the toothpaste
its about 70/30 id say. (70 no problem) but there are so many horror stories going around about wisdom teeth that people think its 100% gonna happen
gums in front teeth are receding and sometimes hurt. washed my teeth furiously and there was some blood. got a soft toothbrush, stopped the bleeding but my gums are in bad shape.
are my teeth btfo?
in most conferences its reported that its because of burnout. dont see why surgical doctors dont experience the same if not greater burnout. im still young (30) so i dont have any experience in the matter. still im loving the fuck out of my job. its what ive always wanted
np user
nope. i did enjoy watching a naked 10/10 in uni when she came in for abdominal surgery
thankfully this time im keeping up with your questions. keep em coming
Look up periodontitis and cry
What do you think of my teeth.
>1 Fluoride aint bad for you, muricans. And there's no conspiracy to mind control or poison anyone.
Too much of it CAN poison you. There's enough of it in a single tube of toothpaste to cause acute toxicity symptoms and with all the sources in your everyday products (toothpaste, mouthwash, drinking water, granite food contacting surfaces), you'll likely end up with chronic bone deformation and kidney issues by the time you hit 40.
i know what it is. How long till teeth loss?
is it reversible?
Hey OP,
what causes the brown stains in pic related?
Mine are not as bad, but they are visible on a few of the front teeth.
I don't drink alcohol/coffee, I don't smoke, I brush twice daily, floss almost daily, mouthwash and also use a fluoride toothpaste, as well as an electric toothbrush.
Thoughts?
I do have a history of bad oral hygiene though, which I have now somewhat fixed.
you re prob breathing through your mouth while you sleep. go to an ORL and then a dentist
what he describes is most prob not perio. isolated bleeding in upper fronal teeth is most often mouth breathing
heh your dentist is gonna make some nice cash
3-4 extractions, one root canal, one crown, one implant
the broken one isnt clear enough for me to tell. maybe root canal and crown. rest look fine
yes it can but anything in large doses, even water or oxygen. and no consuming everyday things in normal ammounts is NOWHERE near a 50% toxicity threat
dont know how long. pic would help. if its not reversible its definately stoppable (not sure if thats the right word). basicly stay the way it is and not get worse
tea has a lot of colorings as well. but anything can color the teeth. just go have your teeth cleaned. usually these types of stains dont even need ultrasound to take em off. simple air polish should work.
unfortunately some people just get stains on their teeth more easily. maybe the type of saliva has somthing to do with it. its not a major problem though. just go get em cleaned
fluoride causes those stains. theres a name for it. its when theres way to much in the water. after moving to the southern US I got it after a year. might explain why people here seem kinda of too.
I'm not dentist bro but I am curious as well since I'm a period too.
You need a real cleaning (scaling and root planing) first off. Hopefully you'll have better luck with that than me. Medicaid turned my ass down.
>its about 70/30 id say. (70 no problem) but there are so many horror stories going around about wisdom teeth that people think its 100% gonna happen
ah I see, yeah, my sister had that problem and the first time I see about it, I kind of freaked out
Hey OP,
how fucked am I?
Pic is from a while back, had the wisdom tooth extracted since, plus a lot of work done.
Had bad experiences with school dentists, however not taking care of my teeth was not exactly helpful either.
How are you handling the existential dread knowing you weren't smart enough to get into med school?
I assume you own the practice or are a partner in it.
How many of your hygienists have you banged?
Have you ever felt up a hot patient while they were under?
Do you use any of your shop drugs recreationally ?
Have you heard of ceramic toothpaste such as BioMin and what are you thoughts about it?
>pic would help
that's the most affected area. What do you think?
Yesterday I broke on of my teeth and I was so unlucky that it broke it that I have sharp edge on the side of the tonuge. Now my tongue hurs as fuck and I can not eat. Fuck my luck.
Why is every dentist who takes State insurance a piece of fucking shit?
And do you take state?
My teeth are kind of yellow on account of not brushing enough as a kid/early teen. Otherwise I have good oral health but my teeth don't look great.
Are there any whitening toothpastes that actually work? I'm too self-conscious to get them whitened at my dentist's.
fluorosis is usually white, yellow or maby green. brown color from fluorosis means you found a way to take waaaaaaaaay too much fluoride from something. definately not something normal. also it happens most often from birth till age 8. and its permanent. you prob cant get it as an adult
yeah dont worry about it. if it happens, it happens. also 90% of the time you dont feel a thing. its the rare difficult case, that people are gonna complain about. but every single one that had no issue or a painless extraction aint exactly gonna run down the street screaming about it.
seems stable-ish. lower left 1st molar needs attention asap. also upper right 2nd molar MIGHT have mesial carries. not sure from this angle.
not rly. my grades did get me into med school but i chose to go to dental school cuz thats what i wanted.
my own private practise. hygienists aint a thing here. we laugh at the prospect of having non-dentist do dental work.
aswered above havent groped anyone and i rarely do total anesthesia operations.
i did bang a lot of my gfs on my dental chairs though.
unfortunately we dont use drugs in greece. its illegal for a dental practice. i do use some drugs but very rarely after graduating. something like 3-4 times a year.
this is basicly bioglass toothpaste and im a firm supporter of the practice. i forsee in the next decade all toothpastes will contain bioglass. as stated above you should avoid rinsing/eating/drinking for some time after brushing
more coming
The oldest person you know with no cavities or major dental problems?
Not a dentist but I can say they do work. White strips work too. Not sure how healthy they actually are for your teeth tho. Ide ask a pro.
I have a wisdom too like in pic related, except that it's completely horizontal. How often does that happen?
Thanks for answering. I've tried BioMin myself after doing some research, and I must say it removed all tooth sensitivity I had previously.
My dentist friend helped me giving my dog a gold tooth when it broke. Turned out the be cheaper than pulling it at the vet
