I finally went a year and a half ago and finally got a wisdom tooth (already had two pulled in the military) that didn't hurt but was fukked up because it was growing at the side of my gum and they wanted it gone.

Go to the dentist brehs.

It was only $900 in total

That’s honestly disgusting. Breh probably has so many unaddressed issues (cavities, gum infections, plaque, potential need for a root canal now)

I go to the dentist at least 2x a year for cleanings - putting aside any operations I may need
It really depends on his dental hygene. In the absense of alcohol and smoking the avg person would be fine as long as they brushed regularly.


Between 18 and 21 during my first 3 years of college i didnt go to a dentist once. I was slightly worried when i finally visted one at 21, but dentist told me my mouth was immacualte. No gum issues, cavities, tartar, etc. Ironically, i never got a single cavity until i started regularly going to a dentist two years later.


at that point i learned that a lot of the modern dental industry is propaganda with folks going overboard. The 2 times a year thing is an unnecessary standard determined by insurance company payouts, not a biological requirement. Similalry, folks are going overboard with hardware like waterpicks , whitening strips, and electric toothbrushes. There is a diminishing return to all of that stuff.


It was that dentist at 21 that let me know that bad hygene, alcohol, and smoking are the main reasons folks vist him with problems. And by bad hygene, the dude told me had had clients who brushed once a week or somehing like that. So as long as you are a normal , unnasty person you should be fine

I go minimum 2x a year, every 6 months for a cleaning/whitening. That’s the #1 compliment I get from females..how nice my smile is

Dental insurance thru my job is like $22 a month

Even for you brehs without dental insurance, I always see cleanings on Groupon for $75-100

And for anyone struggling dental schools give free cleanings as part of practical learning. They used to require students to have some volunteers. When I was a broke mofo I got free cleanings this way and they would give you 2 complimentary ones. That's a life hack someone here might need.

You just need to sign up at a school when they are doing it and you good to go.

As someone that had braces and had to visit the orthodontics every 6 weeks as a teen, those lil oral hygienist visits 2 times a year feel like light work.


Braces really teach u how 2 clean your teeth. Spend 6 seconds brushing per tooth
Facts. I've brushed more in a day now than I ever have. Yesterday I brushed 5 times

I can't eat salads anymore

I remember those days brushing after every meal

Then chewing on the red dye to make all the areas that need extra cleaning show up, having 3 different brushes 😄 fun times
