Busted a back molar, dentist downtown (Dental Associates) wanted to charge me well over a grand to fix. Not only that, they wanted about $800 for a full cleaning. (Disclaimer: was addict, neglected fangs for too long).
Went down the street to the health clinic, paid $25 x 2 to get the thing filled. First charge was for consultation, second for the procedure. 'Cause I'm a poorfag. Take advantage of lower-cost clinics or look for the university in your area that has a dental school. Those conglomerates (and even some independents) can and do severely overcharge you, even with the "insurance" they sell you to lower your initial cost.
I use a regular toothbrush with medium bristles and the dental floss-picks. My gums have receded somewhat over time, and one of my front snaggleteeth's base got discolored and visible. For simple cosmetic repairs, I highly recommend GIC, Glass Ionomer Cement (kits available on Amazon). Slapped some of that on the discoloration, made sure to leave a gap so I can floss, used a small paintbrush to feather it onto the actual tooth to avoid a hard color edge, and that's it. I also have small chips on the bite edge of a front tooth as well, but the GIC is a little too white for that portion, so I'll see if there's any kind of colorant that can be added to match.
You can also get 44% carbamide peroxide in tubes, apply to teeth and let sit for 10 min or so (you can use a tray or just sit sneering lol). I use it once a day, plus add it to my toothpaste (Colgate Optic White). I also occasionally use the antibiotic mouthwash I kept that was prescribed to me before I had the molar fixed; very helpful if a gum starts to feel tender/inflamed.
I'm bored so there's my contribution, hope it was informative and/or helpful! Keep smiling!
eta for the pornsick boy: Snaggleteeth are awesome and cute imo.
Generally speaking.
