Go see your dentist

[zhaneel69]

I like to think of myself as a 'good kid.' But for the past 3 years I've been pretty bad. Partially due to not having dental insurance, partially out of loyalty to my childhood dentist, and sheer laziness, it has been 3 years since I've seen a dentist. Finally did that today. My teeth are good, were called 'pretty' by everyone who saw the xrays

And, if you get laid off, try asking your dentist if they have some kind of discount for that - I got a stern talking-to from my dentist when I went in again after getting a new job, and explained why I hadn't been in sooner. It seems they've got a special rate for people with that sort of circumstance.

despising flossing in a national past-time.

if you haven't, try Glide floss. it's super-strong and slipidy. i like the ribbon better than the string, even with super-tight teeth.

and ditto on the not having oodles of money. any good dentist will at least work up a reasonable payment plan.

teeth are mechanical. it's all maintenance.

I agree. Glide rocks. I have routine appointments twice a year, and every other visit they do X-Rays. Try using the flouride stuff too.
