Boring Stuff About My Life

[Marilyn. 340]

My husband was the opposite. He mainly drank soda growing up. His teeth or a mess. He has a tonne of crowns etc..

I have slowly weaned him off soda. He just drinks some on the weekend sometimes..

The dentist, the reason why I went for an HSA instead of a traditional PPO plan.

I had one of my wisdom teeth rot out about a week before my wedding. It just cracked in half and it was super embarrassing. The worst part was that I never put the pain I had in my jaw about two weeks prior together with that particular tooth that I knew was always a problem. But, I was drunk most of those days anyway up at Wacken and mouth problems weren't going to stop me from having a good time.

I had the rest surgically removed the following months. The last two were terrible. I'd rate that pain as worse than childbirth simply because childbirth lasted only 2.5 hours. My incision sites had me down for days. I couldn't eat or sleep or think. Even my heartbeat drove me nuts, the throbbing. My whole face eventually turned green. It was disgusting. Ugh, glad I never have to go through that again.

Mr. Wacken and I spent most of the spring in a dentist's chair. After all that work, he still needs a crown to replace a temp and I have a filling that desperately needs to be replaced by a crown. I have a probable failed root canal. Thank you genes for blessing me with molars with far more than the normal number of canals. All of my root canals can only be done by endodontists now. We just got dental insurance again, so going back for more drilling good times soon!

Sorted out all my opaque black tights this morning before work. I have seven pairs, which is comforting because I have a pair to wear every day. One pair had a strange almost greeny tinge to it that I had never noticed before. I still like them.

The transit authority is building a new metro station at the end of my street, which in theory I am very happy about since I will eventually be able to take the metro downtown and drink with giddy abandon with my male BFF, but in reality the construction is adding up to 10 minutes to my commute every morning. I had to wait 8 minutes today to turn left onto the main street because of the detour. I admit to having a rageaholic moment during those 8 minutes, during which I beat my fists on the steering wheel and said some Very Not Nice Words about the transit authority, LA drivers and pedestrians.

i love a good pair of opaque black tights, and am proud of my collection too!

i am sorry about your traffic woes though.

I'm applying labels to about 500 blanket orders and mailing them out today to every department in the university. This is the most work I've had to do at my job here.

Only 17 more months until my Alaskan cruise.

[lierre 224]

Oh wow!

I'm 26 and I have 6 root canals with crowns on them, one of which we are waiting out to do an implant. My husband is the same way though and goes every 3 months to get checked for cavities.

My husband has all his wisdom teeth, never had cavities and was recently told by his dentist that he has the cleanest teeth she has ever seen.

A day before, I came from the same dentist and had to have a fluoride rinse, some work done on my cavities aaaand was up for removal of all my exposed wisdom teeth for this first quarter of 2013.

For a few days after those dental visits, I felt utterly ashamed to be kissing him with his perfect oral hygiene.

some people are just susceptible to oral issues

guy tells me theyre super old and first dentist should lose her license

i used to have a red bull problem

[Dr. Obvious 49]

I can only drink Red Bull as a mixed drink. I don't really care for it on its own.

I had a root canal done last year and I just ate chocolate bread pudding.

We are cursed.

I'm waiting for my (2) metal fillings to fall out.

I got them when I was 11.

My mom told me like 2 years ago that these things don't last forever #######!

I actually prefer the metal fillings and so does my dentist. He said the real reason I needed so many root canals was the white fillings they did do not last a long time and rot got behind them all within 2 years. I have amalgam in all of my non-crowned back teeth now.

[The Mean Lady 604]

I am obsessed with teeth which includes my own.

I had braces and they gave me what people apparently find to be extremely nice teeth.

They seem to be the only thing I get complimented on so I should probably take care of them.

And my eyelashes... but I don't think I have to take care of those.

I also tend to just stare at people's teeth.

I don't think I could be with someone that had gross teeth.

That doesn't mean they have to be perfect straight, because I love all kinds of teeth.

But EXTRA effed up or yellow/missing/rotting. Ew get out.

I don't like to look at my dad because his teeth are rotting.

Disgusting. Grosses me out.

My wisdom teeth just started coming in a few months ago and I am TERRIFIED to get them taken out. I have an aversion to needles anyway, and getting them in my mouth is ten times worse. The dentist just creeps me out in general, plus it's waaaay expensive. I asked my husband if it would be better to get them taken out here (we're living in Ecuador at the moment), considering they have free public health care, but when we asked my mother-in-law where the best place to go would be, she informed us that wisdom teeth "don't exist here".

LMAO don't exist.

Right.

Are they impacted?

If your teeth are impacted, then they'll put you under anesthesia so your aversion doesn't matter.

Has anyone TOLD you that you have to get them removed?

They aren't always removed...

Switching Topics.

I think the cyber police are cutting down on illegal video streaming.

It's becoming impossible to watch back episodes of shows that I miss.

If I don't watch them the day after they air, then they don't load or get taken down, or just stop halfway through.

Damn you cyber police!

I do floss and brush my teeth twice a day, but I think it is the years of soda drinking. *shrugs* My teeth are not pearly white despite the whitening toothpastes and things because I drink a lot of tea and coffee. It has never really bothered me though.

I don't think the whole procedure was that bad when I've had it done. The oral surgeon put an IV in and gave me a cocktail of sedatives and then they operated. All I remember is hearing them talking while not really being concious. Frankly, anything was better than the pain of the wisdom teeth as my bottom two were growing horizontally into the rest of my teeth. Ouch!
