Seriously. Go to the dentist every 6 months

[xXOGLEGENDXx]

For anybody that needs to hear this.


This shouldn't be a negotiable as an adult.
Not having insurance can't be an excuse. Through most jobs it's like $5. On it's own you can find plans that are $20/month.

I remember back in college, I had a nagging toothache. It would come and go, but I didn't have any money. I chewed on one side for like 2 years and got used to it.

One day my sister forced me to go to the dentist and when I went, the doc literally cleared it up in 10 minutes. I remember he told me, "If you sprain your ankle, it will heal itself. Teeth are the only parts of the body that don't repair themselves. Once they are damaged, that's it."


Go every 6 months. Get checked out and get your cleanings.

Another good thing that people don't mention often: dentists give you an oral cancer screening. It can literally save your life.

facts. just went this morning for my cleaning, #NOTARTARSHAWTY (shoutout to the electric toothbrush 2x/day)

I've been to the dentist/oral surgeon (7-8x) more in the past two years than I had the previous 10 yrs (2010-2021). They've cleaned my teeth, filled cavities, threw a crown in there, removed all 4 wisdom teeth, cant neglect them teef

Breh, as a yute, parents ain't have the duckets for routine visits and now, for the last 4 years, I've been paying for it....physically and monetarily.

Ultimately, it's been worth it though.

Mouth health can affect so many other bodily functions, b.

Also tooth/gum infections left untreated can travel to your brain and kill you.

Yup, the dentist every 6 months is a must. My next appointment is in November. In college I used to eat a lot of candy and didn't go to the dentist for 2 years. Even though I brush my teeth everyday as well as floss, but sugar just ate at one of my pre-molars and I had to get a root canal treatment. shyt was expensive as hell for a broke college student at the time. Made it my duty to make sure I attend the dentist regulary after that. Dentist work ain't cheap. Preventative care is better and more affordable than having to actually fix shyt.


Weirdly enough, I haven't had a cavity since I was a kid, but that one tooth I had to get a root canal on just seemed to give the fukk up lol.

I know this girl I used to work with that had that shyt in the bottom of her teeth. The shyt was built up and it looked fukking disgusting. I know she see it. I ain't have the heart to tell her she needs to go to the dentist.

I got a black dentist who's about the same age as me. he did my daughter's braces back in the day. I last went in march. I've only had 1 cavity in my life. u take care of your teeth, you aren't paying shyt outta pocket for each visit.

Smashing with this Indian joint with a crazy body. (Straight off the boat) (she was in college) The next morning I was like



“what’s that smell”

I see it’s her breath. She’s still sleeping and pull her lip down and I see all this build up.

I gave her an electric toothbrush, toothpaste extra Fluoride, mouth wash and floss, etc.

“Indians don’t floss”



Found a few dentist for her, not sure if she went or not. But ended up losing contact.

Next thing on my list to do and I need to go

 

[Fillerguy]

All my dentist visits are like this

I visit that bih like 6x a year. full coverage. Having dark skin, straight and white teeth is a cheat code.

I guess I got to thank my folks and my diet because even though I skipped a few years worth of visits, still have all my teeth and never needed anything other than a cleaning
