Pffft thanks to the opiod epidemic they're awful about handing that shit out. I got prescription strength IBprofun and they told me to take some tylenol with it.

Interesting thing about NovaMin: the reason you can't buy toothpaste with it in the US any more is because it's regulated as a drug by the FDA (in the US) and needs more studies to cite before the FDA will allow their claims. No reason to think the studies wouldn't show the necessary data, but the cost to run them is thought to be more than the revenue from enhanced toothpaste would be.
Sensodyne Daily Repair in the US just has fluoride; Sensodyne Daily Repair in the EU has NovaMin because toothpaste is regulated as a cosmetic there. Same box design and name and everything, just that one of them actually works and one of them just looks like it does.
Buying grey market foreign toothpaste is pretty funny, though.

That's what I do. It's a bit annoying because the name is the same for both formulae, so that complicates searching sometimes.

So update, they had to keep drilling because the decay was a lot deeper than they thought and it's really close to the nerve. So they put in a medicated filling there and will finish it off in two weeks when the tooth recovers from the trauma. Or it starts to really hurt, whatever comes first.
Sorry Kiwis, I need someone to talk to, and a root canal possibility is still in the cards.

I can't go without my Philips Diamondclean, it makes my arms too tired to brush properly manually.
Got an oral irrigator that you just screw on the shower hose, but bad at using it. Because got to unscrew the shower head each time, that gets old fast.

tongue needs to be scrapped. brushing it cleans but buying a tongue scrapper is 100x more efficient
and the post surgery care? brushing after the surgery is kind of annoying and i think they all comment on not drinking hot stuff because of the blood flow. i still need to get my 4 teef removed so i kind of shudder considering the fuck ups that can happen, i still need to see my ortho because it's been like 3 months since i didn't tighten my bracers too (lack of bread to pay her), can get a cleaning scheduled at the same day i'm supposed to do bracers maintenance, no need for dual visits...
don't worry about that, worry about not feeling the pain, i do not know your country but if it's one where root canals are more profitable and the dentists are less of doctors then you should worry, even if your teef could be salvaged they will still insist for a fucking canal for rea$on$. one thing i hear from people that have them is that your mouth has a odd sensation in the place of the canal. i hope you don't need it.
what's bothering me is the coof that made a lockdown in me place, so my bracer treatment will be a issue, especially since i'll need to use the fucking bands with the screws in my mouth (3:46 in the video) to pull my teef back to fix the overbite.
my ortho even made a legal document for me to sign saying that the treatment cannot be known to be permanent or whatever, as long as she fixes my issues i couldn't care less considering how malleable the mouth is... this is not a blowjob joke if you can guess any.

Had my filling taken care of today. My wisdom teeth extraction came out fine. Just light brushing near the area. The most crucial thing is that syringe to clean out the wound. No matter what i ate and how much i tried to keep it on the other side of my mouth food was drawn to the bottom hole. Squirting small amounts of water to keep the food out makes 100% difference. My dentist barely mentioned the extraction sites as they did the filling. Which i consider to be the highest bar of they look healthy and healing well.

The best dental health tip is to avoid sugars. Anglo-Saxon skulls from the eight century have immaculate teeth despite never flossing because people didn't have access to sugar.
Anyway, dunno if anybody else does this, but I found a way to scrape my own teeth with a small scissor. Its pretty easy and you can do it absent mindedly along with flossing with a pick.

1. I completely endorse water flossers. If you hate flossing get one of those fuckers immediately.
2. If you live close to the border consider going to Mexico. I had an abcessed tooth that needed a root canal and I didn't have dental at the time. $30 or so for a passport card and I went to get a root canal, with crown, for a third of the cost. Just do your research regarding which dentist you see. If they try to push implants on you then they're scammers.

A major problem is sometimes you just have shitty teeth and you can do everything right and they still fall out. I drink soda, booze, chew up entire jawbreakers just for the fuck of it, Jolly Ranchers candy, whatever, all my teeth are great, and I'm over 50. Other people I know brush, floss, do fluoride shit, and all their teeth fell out in their 30s and 40s and they needed root canals and all kinds of fucked up shit for tens of thousands of dollars. Lmao.
Life isn't fair at all.

Yeah, there’s definitely a genetic aspect to mouth/gum/tooth health.
As someone who got a 1 when I rolled for initiative on that front, dentists have been a common fixture in my life. Family has had poor dental genetics and I’m no exception. Got hit with periodontal disease a couple years back and I’m now one of those faggots that has to go to the dentist every 3 months instead of 6 because of it, as periodontal disease can’t be cured, only managed. I also have a couple crowns and extractions of my wisdom teeth to get done.
However I’ve since been making more of an effort to stay on top of my dental hygiene (trust me, having to do a two-appointment deep cleaning to treat the inflamed gums SUCKS and I don’t want to do it if I can avoid it at all). I do plan on getting one of those water picks and I do need a new brush, and I’m thinking of getting one of the sonic ones.
Black dick also takes getting used to but all white fools need to submit to it,

Frankly, flossing isn't that hard. just do it before bed most nights.
remember his sins, faggot.
and repent.
i know it might be a bit too much but talk with the dentists about the sonic and the ultrasonic ones. i've weighted the pros and cons and ultrasonic seems better, i cannot escape the flossers at all since waterpicks do not clean 100 percent, only flossing does... that sucks having to waste over 5min flossing because bracers, for you comboing the two best types of brushes and a high-no-hassle plaque cleaning thing might be good though.
