How are your teeth?

[Shlup]

Today I went to the dentist, and they said my teeth were pretty fabulous. I have a cracked crown, but I had very little tartar and my gums were in good shape.

It was the first time I went to this dentist. I'm starting to think my old dentist was a bit of a tallywhacker--every time I went in there he swore I needed a crown or gum treatments or something.

When the hygienist went to polish my teeth, she said she accidentally grabbed the cupcake polish instead of the mint. I told her to go for it anyway, and it was a bit of a mindsmurf, to be having my teeth cleaned while tasting and smelling cupcake. I will definitely get cupcake next time.

So how're your teeth? Do you go to the dentist when you're supposed to?

Aside from two or three cavities, the worst dental procedure I had was a root canal, and it wasn't because of lack of dental hygiene. I chipped a tooth in a way where I didn't even notice it. Long story short that lead me to getting a root canal. Wasn't that painful or that big of a deal.

Never got my wisdom teeth taken out, but only one has ever hurt for a couple of days. I suppose I should get around to removing them one of these days.

I see the dentist fairly often, but I have to look for a new one soon. The dentist I had nearly all my life got in some sort of altercation with my mom over a simple misunderstanding, and now it feels just WEIRD going over there.

I have a two fillings but other than that they are in great shape. I'm British so apparently we should have horrendous teeth... sorry but no, I have nice straight, white teeth.

My Dad was American though so maybe that's why...

I had two cavities when I was younger (ten-ish, I think,) in my lower back teeth. They are now nice and filled.

The rest of my teeth were a mess; there were teeth I was missing, I had doubles of certain ones, baby teeth that never came out (still haven't), and so forth. Three years of braces and orthodontist visits sorted it out, but they still look awful (they are smaller at the bottom than at the top, making the appearance of spaces between my teeth-- or like I see it, candy-corn teeth) and I have to wear a retainer every night.

I also have a permanent metal wire retainer glued to my bottom teeth, which is awesome, because it makes me a cyborg. :3

I have never had a cavity in my life and I apparently have extremely straight teeth. Never had braces.

NOW they're good, but it wasn't so about two years ago. I had four root canals, three fillings, and gum treatment done. It was as painful as it was expensive. It all amount to about 9000 kr, which is approximately $1500.

My teeth are crooked and while not awful, certainly not appealing.

[Jiro]

My teeth are alright. Should probably try to reduce the sugary crap I eat to cut 'em some slack.

[Mirage]

My teeth are smurfing terrible.

[krissy]

all the better to eat you with my dear

My last visit to the dentist went like this:
Dentist: "Hi! How are you doing? Are your teeth still hanging in there?"
Me: "NO, they are FIRMLY in there."

Overall, my dental hygeine is getting better!

I think I go every 6 months, but I have perfect teeth so its all good. dentist(s) have been telling me to floss prolly since I was -10, and I just never have

[Shorty]

I'm pretty happy that my teeth are naturally straight. I have one fake tooth in the front, though, because I slammed my head into a metal bench when I was a kid and it broke clean off.

Mine have gotten better now that i had my wisdom teeth removed. I do need to get a tooth fixed part of it broke off in the back and the rest is being held together by the filling.

I too had the dentist today. He said my teeth are great as always altho I need to pay a little more attention to the bottom front while brushing.

I also have some kind of polyp on the inside of my mouth but he says its harmless and I like to play with it with my tongue when Im thinking
