Classic Yas Forums user time.
What are your thoughts on how I can go months without brushing my teeth, and somehow I haven't had cavities since I was like 10. I am now 18. And I don't have bad breath either. Trust me. The people I hang around would tell me. And they have, whenever I eat certain things. But it goes away.
Am I the chosen one?
Or is it just because I don't eat a ton of sugar?
(As usual with classic Yas Forums user, image is not related.)
Same for me but i eat heaps of sugar so im clearly superior
Actually, you know what. Image is related.
I just clicked randomly.
Drink vodka to kill the germs
Umm... I have brushed my teeth probably 5 times MAX this year, but if you don't floss your teeth then the shit will get stuck in there and when you go in really close you can smell the food rotting... LMAO. Please floss dude.
Well I have a soda almost everyday, so it's kind of comparable. I just don't really eat sweets often.
So I pretty much stopped brushing my teeth around 21, still had no cavities at all at 28. I'm now 35 and every single tooth is a rotten stump.
Never even drank soda. Or used meth.
I've done the same for probably around three years. No dental problems, bad breath, or foul taste in my mouth. I think the mouth just adjusts to that kind of state after a while.
Do you pick all the plaque and shit off your teeth with your nails?
I honestly have no idea if I brushed my teeth this year. And I almost never floss. Somehow food just doesn't really get stuck between my teeth. But when it does, it's never there more than a day.
And as I said, no bad breath despite this.
Yup that is what not brushing does....
Its genetic fellas, i didnt brush a lot when i was a kid so i have now lost 6 teeth with more rotting onthe way. Brush every day now and my remaining teeth are fine. My father has less than 10 teeth left while my grandma has legitimately only 1 tooth left which is small and blacker than darkness
Not really. But regardless, you can't get it all like that, anyway.
I don't drink.
You can't personally smell the full extent of your own breath as you get used to it after one night. it's not about those big chunks, it's the small shreds that you cannot see that start to rot stain your teeth. Unless you've got someone that goes up to your mouth agape and gets a big whiff then I would believe you.
Do you use other methods of cleaning your teeth? Pick, floss, chewing on things that clean them, hell even fingernails?
My advice is don't ignore it completely.
why dont you just brush your teeth?
I was on antibiotics for a few months and during that time I happen to get a cavity. Except it didn't hurt at all because there was no inflammation or infection. I didn't notice it until my whole fucking tooth cracked and I splat out a chink of tooth. I needed a full root canal, and it didn't hurt one bit. Just because you don't feel nothing, doesn't mean your teeth aren't in trouble.

I happen to be in school for anthropology, and before the advent of mass agriculture and super starchy food, our teeth were quite resist and well adapted to last us decades with zero dental care. they are evolved to withstand grinding and heavy use, not to withstand cavities and abbesses. the deal is that humans have a set amount of enamel around our teeth that is ment to last us about 35-45 years of well rounded hunter+gather diet. that isn't enough enamel for 60-80 years of high sugar+ starch diet. its all very interesting. but you might be ok right now, but you cant keep that up very long. tooth abscesses were a huge killer and history is full of grave yards of 30 year olds dead from infection. you are not special, you are just a bit to young for things to get really bad.
you probably aren't gonna grind to the stumps, but you are working your way through decades of enamel at a much faster rate.
You can smell anyone's breath from right next to their mouth. I say it's only a problem when you can smell it when they're a few feet away.
And I never said anything about smelling my own breath; I know it's impossible. The people I hang around with don't really tell me I have bad breath. Trust me, they would. They tell me when I just got done eating certain foods.
No. The only thing that would remove plaque is the food I eat.
Genetics. Diet. Luck. If your 18 or something, hush. Because your bad health habits will come around later in life
lick the back of your hand, let it dry a bit, and then smell it. if you have bad breath, it will smell very bad. good breath will not smell at all.
Laziness. But that's how it started when I was a kid. Nowadays I personally don't feel the need to brush my teeth that often. And I don't use toothpaste. Fluoride is bad for you. I put baking soda on the brush whenever I do brush my teeth. But sometimes I literally just brush my teeth without anything on the brush. Just essentially brushing the plaque off.
I've been doing this for a long time, and still never had any tooth issues in years.
Yeah our diets nowadays are terrible.
I honestly don't think I eat badly. (Not in that way at least)
OP here.
Still doesn't smell.
post a pic of your teeth from proof?
I do get check ups at the dentist regularly. (An honest dentist) And they still haven't found any issues in a long time.
Here. And just so you know, that is not my regular smile. If I smile regularly the bottom teeth are only partially visible.
And yes I am missing 2 incisors. But that's a genetic anomaly. I never had them. Nether did my father or my grandma
impossible.
You are young just wait
Eventually gum disease then root exposure
Depending on your diet possibly
?
Maybe lose every pain in your tooth all at once? Nerve damage? A cavity doesnt energetically mean tooth pain.
