[Calandale]

FIRST, they have to give them to you. 

[SovaNu]

[Dexter Morgan]

[DirtDawg]

WHOLLY FUCKING SHITH!!!

SHITHH!!



I grew up in a time and culture where people did not do doctors unless they had an accident with bones and guts exposed and shit.

My parents were being overly pro-active by taking their teenaged son to a dentist for the first time.

I had never seen a dentist, in fifteen years, and I only had three cavities.





Nine is going to be "fun"   .......

[SovaNu]

ow wow.

I need to get myself to a dentist in the new year, if I can find an NHS one. I haven't been in about 13 years, and I have a fucked up wisdom tooth, half of which snapped off at the gumline last week. I guess it should come out. *wince*

WTF is wrong with us?

Sounds like me. I've got to get every one of them out.
Keep breaking, little by little.

How can you stand the smelll?

[Calandale]

How can you stand the smelll?

Usually, it's not bad. Probably I'm covering it
up with the pipe though. But, even in the morning,
there's nothing noticeable to me. Which is completely
different from the one time that I had a problem tooth
before. But, I brush and floss pretty heavily, especially
back there.

If you have a molar with exposed, decomposing dentine, you are probably leaving a wafting trail.

That is one way I could always tell when "Dave" had been in the office, even four or five hours later. He had a severe problem with his rear molars and I could barelly talk to him without re-acting to the winds of his dying teeth. The telltale smell lingered for quite some time.




Just go get it fixed. You're gross.

  i didn't know there was a smell if teeth were broken.

[DirtDawg]

i didn't know there was a smell if teeth were broken.

It's the decay, which usually causes them to break in the first place, that smells. Little colonies of bacteria continue rampantly reproducing, just minutes after brushing, etc.

When I had a bad molar, I could actually suck battle weary blood out of my dying tooth anytime I tried. I really had no idea how seriously the thing was affecting my overall immune system, either.

My Neo impression was not working.
