what’re my options Jow Forums? I’ve thought about looking into all on fours or veneers. Can’t use bridges due to the massive gaps between teeth. All my teeth pulled have been on the bottom. Is it bad genetics? Do I have some sort of fucking cancer? Please tell me I’m not the only one
Whats your diet like is the important part. Anything like sugar or acidic foods?
Benjamin Thompson
I’ve cut all sugar, I weight 225lbs-ish with around 25%bf so I’m doing keto, intermittent fasting and cardio to try to lower bf%. I try to keep my body in an alkaline state as much as possible
Austin Turner
Genetics and poor dental hygiene growing up can make your dental health in later years a living hell. If you can afford it, go for dental implants. For all intents and purposes they're brand new teeth, firmly anchored in your jaw assuming you don't have any bone issues. It's either that or have the remaining teeth pulled and go for dentures, which are non-ideal.
Christian Hall
cutting all sugar was easier than i expected fuck that jewish shit
Samuel Morgan
get a job, get every teeth that's a lost cause removed, use dentures if you don't have the money for implants yet. After recovery (don't lift with holes in your gums) start working out.
Josiah Hill
use a water pik, hope you are brushing correctly and not vigorously back and forth like every tv depiction of teeth being brushed
mine aren't great, I haven't been to the dentist in forever, but the key is to get that bacteria out of there, and a waterpik is miles better than flossing, use some peroxide in it a couple times a week
Adam Green
I'm trying to fix a whole life of poor diet and poor dental higiene, and it's been a nightmare. >5 restorations >2 crowns >2 implant >there's still shit to do Take care of teeth anons. Shit always comes back to bite you in the ass.
Leo King
>don't lift with holes in your gums What? I'm getting multiple teeth extracted in a few weeks
Cameron Lopez
I hear peroxide helps whitening too. Only just a cap full right? I have a bad habit of biting my nails and I believe that’s one of the main causes of my decay due to bacteria attacking the already weakened enamel.
I have a job, can I get partial dentures for my missing teeth though? I never really looked into that option
Carter Ortiz
Bruh neglecting dental checkups isn't going to cause your teeth to rot out. I went to the dentist very few times growing up and had half-assed dental hygiene and haven't had more than a single cavity. You have to be doing something wrong for your teeth to rot out of your fucking skull worse than Boogie.
John Thompson
Carbohydrate is also sugar, cut that shit out. If you're worried about hair loss or skin quality, same exact thing.
What's my deadline? 22 now haven't taken care of teeth for like 6 years. Got plaque, no pain tho.
Liam Brooks
Again, dental health is tightly linked to genetics. Those people who have poor dental genetics have to work plenty hard to maintain a healthy layer of enamel and prevent tooth decay. You just lucked out.
Zachary Torres
I have a broken tooth that I have to reglue together every 5 years or so. I wish my teeth were metal. This is a blessing OP, get the best implants of unbreakable teeth
Connor Adams
You won't see tooth decay, it only becomes apparent in the bite wing x-rays where even the untrained layman can see enamel decay. GO TO THE DENTIST ASAP, and get whatever is wrong fixed as soon as you reasonably can. Teeth can only decay, it is physically impossible to regrow enamel.
Carson Parker
maybe if you didn't eat and clean yourself like a dirty fucking animal you wouldn't have the mouth of a methed out, hillbilly retard.
>mfw strong teeth and born without wisdom teeth
it feels fucking great being someone who is quite literally a more evolved human being. in b4 snaggletooth bitch fits.
Speaking from experience, got a molar extracted and lifted 2 days later, the "stiches" or whatever the fuck they put in the hole got loose and it fucking hurt when it started bleeding, just save yourself the trouble and rest for a couple weeks. You won't lose gains.
John Brooks
I'm a beginner. By the time I get my teeth extraction I would have been working out for just 5 weeks
Gabriel Morgan
Who gives a fuck about whitening, the reason your teeth are rotting sure as fuck isn't related to how white the teeth are, you'll probably make it worse aplying shit directly on them.
And yes there are partial dentures , father used one for years and it never gave him problems, blew my mind when I found out he was missing teeth.
Ryder White
how did you find out, did he take them out before he blew you
Thomas Harris
>blaming your mom for not taking you to the dentist for the fact you don't brush your teeth properly kek
Lincoln Evans
I'll never forget those gums.
Blake Murphy
what were you doing wrong exactly? how can you fuck up brushing your teeth for 30 years?
Henry Reyes
shit acidic diet. time for a raw diet and coconut oil pulling 3 times a day
Angel Johnson
well it matters even less if you're at that stage because you don't have any gains to lose
Jose Peterson
Most sources say you can go back after 3 days, why do you suggest weeks?
Asher Jones
>be me >go to dentist when i was 17 >again at 21 >again at 26 >zero problems with teeth that being said i had my wisdom teeth out but according to both the dentist and dental surgeon it was entirely possible no amount of dental hygeine would have prevented their removal
your diet is garbage user
Jackson Sanders
I'm not a dentist, but I've worked for a dentist for 20 years. The problem with cavities is its a multi-variable thing.
You can eat sugar all day, but if you don't have the bacteria then you wont get cavities. If you don't eat sugar, but have the bacteria, and also have compounding problems like low saliva production, you're fucked.
OP, the best option is to go to the dentist. Find one who you can trust - a lot of them will just recommend the thing that'll make them the most money. The doc I work for is old school, so he cares more about the patients than most dentists. Your options (in order of least to most expensive) 1: Deal with it 2: Bridges (not really recommended - they're mostly cosmetic and not very functional. 3: Partials/full dentures 4: Implants. I'd strongly recommend you dealing with whatever inherent problem you have, whether its caries or gum disease.
Noah Wilson
I'm not the one suggesting, but even I'm going to say that having holes in your mouth that possibly expose parts of your skull is no joke just let them heal and don't be fucking retarded, the pussy isn't going to dissappear form the world in that time
Michael Rivera
Not-dentist user here Water picks are something we recommend a lot at our office. They are absolutely miles better than flossing. We make sure all the patients we treat with gum disease (i.e. the disease that's indicated by bloody gums which means the bone that your teeth is connected to is slowly dissolving) use water picks. Doc suggests mixing things up to keep the different bacteria in check. Bacteria are highly adaptable. Use water, use some peroxide mixed in, use a small amount of bleach (like 1/8th of a teaspoon for a 16oz container), use listerine, use chlorhexidine, rotate stuff. If you're serious about oral health, that is. Even if you're using water, its still loads better than flossing.
Grayson Evans
What the hell is a water pick?
Nathaniel Gutierrez
>chlorhexidine what the fuck i thought this guy saying to use diluted bleach was trolling to make us drink bleach
are there any third party brand waterpik type devices you recommend that arent super expensive
Jason Nguyen
indeed, I've never heard of using bleach in it and haven't used listerine in it but I do use that as a mouth wash, however I had the thing cranked to 10 within a few days of getting it
as far as brushing, you're supposed to go at an angle and brush from the gum to the end of the tooth, not just press it flush against the tooth and vigorously go back and forth, if you ever notice in tv shows and movies, any time they show brushing, it is done the vigorous way, this damages enamel, you should be going relatively light pressure as well, I use an electric
Dominic Jenkins
as far as recommendation, I have had this: Waterpik Water Flosser Electric Dental Countertop Oral Irrigator For Teeth – Aquarius Professional, WP-660 White
Since May of 2018 when I got serious about my oral hygiene because I can't afford to and am afraid to go to the dentist because all of my baby teeth were pulled as a child
Blake Garcia
it will be the best money you ever spent, pulling a tooth is a few hundred bucks and it goes up from there for repair work
Ethan Cooper

Stop eating a ton of grains and sugar you fucking tard. Get dat dere vitamin A and some sun you fucking ho

Wasn’t there this story where a dentist got busted for strapping kids to a table and pulling off their baby teeth for no reason? Scary shit man

A competent dentist shouldn't be removing teeth because of decay, he should have fitted crowns.
Jackson Collins
How the fuck are your teeth decaying if you brush twice a day? Immediately cut all sugar out of your diet.
James Reyes
>removing teeth because of decay >what are fillings What is this gay shit? Why didn't you just get fillings? I've had decay before because my retarded parents thought giving a child soda was a good idea, I've got a few fillings but I still have all my teeth
Why didn't you get fillings? Or if the decay was too bad for that couldn't you get root canals instead?
John Martin
Get iron teeth like jaws
Jaxson Barnes
you cant say that without knowing the level of decay

Hunter Thomas
the fuck, I haven't been to the dentist in over a decade and brush my teeth once every other day
got some slight yellowing at worst
Grayson Clark
Gotta mix it up to confuse the bacteria, right babe?
This, genetics are incredibly important >be my uncle >brushed teeth as a kid but stopped in his teens >hasn't even owned a toothbrush most his life >never been to a dentist in his life >always had a horrible diet, eats cupcakes like they're going out of fashion >never drinks anything but booze or pepsi >was on heroin for nearly 20 years >has been obese and eating cake all the time since he got off heroin >still on amphetamine and a few other drugs >went to his house recently, only thing in his fridge is bottles of cherry pepsi, a crate of stella and a huge pile of chocolate bars Hes missing two molars and his breath fucking stinks but they're the only problems he has with his mouth, and aside from been a little yellow his teeth look fine
Meanwhile some people can get decay even when they do have good hygiene. If you have bad genetics you need to brush 3 times daily (flossing is important too) and have a perfect diet, the only things you should ever drink are milk and water and dont eat chocolate or cake or anything like that >t. has bad genetics and does this, haven't had any issues in years
Chase Williams
You should visit a dentist user, you might have issues you just dont know about yet. Maybe you have cavities that are in the early stages and it's best to treat them before they get worse otherwise you might end up losing teeth sometime down the line
Right now the fix would be a filling at worst, but later on you might need a root canal to sort it out
Tyler Russell
This is the case for a lot of people, they have perfect teeth in their younger years but have pretty meh hygiene and dont visit a dentist for a decade. They think their teeth are fine but in their 30s and 40s all the small issues have built up and sneak up on them, at which point it's too late to save their teeth
Jonathan Sullivan
My teeth are not fucked up, but no matter what the fuck i do, they are always yellow. I dont smoke, i dont drink coffee, i brush everyday and my teeth are disgustingly yellow. fucking why
Brandon Bennett
>blaming your mom for this I didn’t go to the dentist for like 14 years and we grew up below the federal poverty line. Just brush your teeth, retard. I didn’t even have a single cavity.
Blake Fisher
You release every fucking BREATH you take gets rid of more "acid" than any amount of 10$ water you drink? >>pissed off medfag
Levi Fisher
My teeth are pretty bad too. I have aggressive periodontis (spelling) from years of not going to the dentist combined with a bad diet. I probably went once when I was 13-14 and never went again till I got toothache when I was 29.
My diet was bad. Some days I would go through 2-3, 2L bottles of soda, I wouldn't brush my teeth. I mean for months, maybe even half a year without brushing my teeth. Just constant sugar snacks and soda. Along with smoking. Needless to say once they pulled the first tooth they said I'm in a pretty bad state. So two more got pulled. A few are quite loose, but they didn't want to pull them.
I've had antibiotics and 4 intensive cleaning sessions. I have to go back in 3 months to see how deep the pockets are and if I have to get surgery; i assume gum grafting.
I guess they want to see if they're savable. but I am so mentally distraught with my mouth in its current state. And because it's self inflicted I feel some rage when I look at my teeth now.
I plan on getting braces, but the dentist said the gums need to be in good health first. So, my end game is get gums in decent health, get braces so they're straight, then get veneers. Once the veneers need to get renewed; get implants (if I'm not too old for that)
Cooper Martin
You cant just blame your parents, i went to the dentist for the first time (age 28) since I was 12 and had one filling, she said damage was done as a teen when I wasnt brushing/flossing but as an adult I had good dental hygiene and it all halted/repaired, I needed one filling and a good clean
sucks not being privileged with everything handed to u but its not the be all and end all
Easton Cooper
I literally have not been to the dentist since I was a child and my teeth are not even close to that level of fucked, holy shit.
Joseph Cox
It is atleast partly genetic. Do whatever you have to in order to fix it.

Lol what is that diagram from. It looks like some retard with no qualifications trying really hard to emulate the look of the stuff in scientific literature. And also that is not even how glycation works or contribute to aging.
Landon Williams
>can’t blame my parents even though I’m their responsibility until I turn 18
I understand that my fault lies within my eating habits. However every single tooth that got pulled was the result of a cavity that progressively got worse, by the time I turned 19 I had 3 taken out and nothing could have been done to save them. These cavities were years old, probably starting when I was 14-15. Once again, pairing that with a parent who doesn’t give a shit about your health, you’re left with no choice especially when they won’t pay for your appointments. Must be nice to have a decent family
Blake Martin
how do you know? If you haven't had your wisdom teeth removed their could be inflammation eating away at your jaw bone without you even realizing it.
That's what happened to me
Colton Moore
You know, I only went to the dentist once a year as a kid, and as soon as I turned 18 I stopped going altogether. I brush my teeth once a day and I've never had a cavity in my life. Maybe it's a diet thing? I do eat sweets but never candy, usually cake and such.
