Tell Me About Your Teeth

[Fireball]

I have false teeth up the top.
Two were smashed out with a barbell weight from the top of the stairs by a psycho ex.
One of them I had to pull out of the hole in my lip.
Another time I was on my way to a job interview and a young girl smashed into the back of my car at the traffic lights.
Lost five on the steering wheel plus a few bits of shattered jaw bone.
Lost two more in a bar fight in Emerald in an unprovoked attack from a drunk 'built like a brick shithouse' miner.
I was pulled off him just as I was raising a glass ashtray to smash his teeth out.
Lost one down the bottom when, and this is embarrassing, I was hammering in a nail for a picture frame and the hammer bounced back and knocked me off the chair I was standing on.
Lost another one down the bottom when I was whacked in the face by a branch I was feeding into a large chipper.
Never worried about getting a partial plate for the bottom, although I have a few wobbly teeth down there and it might be on the cards for the future.

Holy shit.

You've had a rough time when it comes to your teeth, haven't you?

Remember, when it comes to Aussie women, all exes are psychos.

:one raised eyebrow: You're already psycho, and you're not even my ex.

BoT,

1. I had my wisdom teeth pulled, as they were impacted. So, minus 4 teeth. Plus some pieces missing from fighting.
2. I brush once a day, in the morning.
3. I use a pain relieving toothpaste.
4. Manual toothbrush only. How lazy is it to use an electric toothbrush?
5. Floss when I brush, and after eating, to make sure that food is out from between my teeth.
6. Mint/no flavor.
7. I used to go to the dentist about every 7 years, and only got a cleaning. In the last few years, I've gained a couple of fillings, and an onlay. I'm not impressed with the dentist I've been using. Every time I go there, I get a brutal cleaning and a cavity filled, even though I noticed no symptoms.
8. Several fillings. I got three in boot camp, in 1973. Now I have 7, including the onlay.
9. I'd have to say that, given the insults delivered, my dental health is about 9.2. I have a little gingivitis that is being addressed, but it is really minor.
10. The only correlation I can see with my height is that if I hadn't bitten one of my assailants, I might be horizontal instead of vertical. So, 5'-9" above ground, or 6 feet in the ground. I must be almost 12 feet tall.

1.  Do you have all of your natural teeth?

Yes, and I'm sure CL has supernatural teeth!

I see what you did there

---

1.  Do you have all of your natural teeth?

No.

2.  How often do you brush?

Once in the morning and once before bed. But also extra if I feel like I need it.

3.  Do you use a special type of toothpaste?

Normally I just use toothpaste for sensitive teeth. But for the last couple of months my dentist has given me a subscription for a special strong medicated fluoride toothpaste.

4.  Do you use an electric toothbrush?

No.

5.  Do you floss?  How often?

Not normally, us Britisians don't seem to do it often, but lately I've gotten like these mini teeth stick things that aren't floss but they basically fulfill the same purpose. It's used to remove plaque between the teeth rather than dislodge stuff though so maybe a slightly different purpose

6.  What flavour (if any) floss do you use?

I dunno I haven't used them yet. I just got them.

7.  How often do you visit your dentist?

About monthly at the moment. But generally it would be much, much less than that.

8.  Do you have any dental 'fixes' (fillings, dentures, implants, bridgework, etc)?

I had one tooth removed, and I have multiple fillings. Thankfully most of them are in non-noticeable areas and my teeth look a lot better on the outside than they actually are.

9.  On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate your overall dental health?

If 5 is average I'd say I'm a 4. But since the average actually seems to be above 10, I guess I'd say I'm a 6.

10.  Have you ever noticed a correlation between you dental health and your height, weight, boob/bum/waist size?

Well, my dental health has gotten worse gradually due to depression causing me to not give a shit about my overuse of energy drinks . . . and my height, weight and arse is all the same but I guess my belly is a little bit of a beer belly lately. Maybe that's because of the beer or maybe crappy dental health causes a podgy tum tum?
