I had one (1) message in Discord deleted and proceeded to make a huge, huge mess about how it was a violation of free speech and how moderators are supposed to be spam janitors and nobody should have the right to tell me not to talk about school shootings

I really must start brushing after every meal. No braces, but my two front teeth always seem to have a cavity just starting to form. I've had it filled, and the fillings fall out over time, even with regular brushing.

You should consider flossing regularly, since even brushing thoroughly can only do so much.

I got me all my teeth, even Wisdom teeth. No cavities, no braces. I have a mouth like a shark--overlapping, crooked teeth.

Even then, the way to go is to have four less important teeth pulled, ala the way they do it in Europe--then the Wisdom teeth can come in without pain, and removing them won't be necessary, avoiding that whole big deal.

I could choose between braces or pulling out 4 teeth. I chose the latter, but it was still annoying with that anaesthetic, 'cause I couldn't feel my entire mouth at all afterwards.
But I guess braces are even worse

Nah, I believe it's the eye teeth or something, about the middle of your mouth.

The smaller teeth which are more easily pulled. Thus, less pain, and wisdom teeth grow in without a problem.

I got lucky though--my comically messed up teeth alignment left room for my wisdom teeth, and I have all 4 in right now.

My wisdom teeth only partially grew in for the most part. It's kinda weird. They've been starting to hurt though.

The left side of my tongue is still numb from when I got my wisdom teeth taken out. It's less than before, when it was the majority of the left side. Doubt it will ever be 100% healed.

Wow, did it affect how things taste to you? How did it cause your tongue to stay numb?

I need to get my wisdom teeth removed. They're cramping my other teeth and make my canines stick out in front of the surrounding teeth. Its not really drastic but noticeable still. They'd probably adjust some with my wisdom teeth gone but I would need braces or something like Invisalign to make them completely straight.

When the doc went into the gum to pull them out, he hit a nerve.

You know when your hand or foot falls asleep? That's how my tongue feels all the time. At first I could bite it and not feel anything, now I can. It's faint, but the pain is there.

Like the other day when I took a nap. I woke up and the left side was hurting me. I fell alseep with my tounge between my teeth, pressing on it.

Yeah, I once destroyed the nerves in my feet.

I'd be unable to feel the tips of my toes, no matter what I did.

Eventually it came back, but it took 3-4 months.

Well, I can say in my case (mine aren't yellow so much as a bit discolored) it stemmed mostly from depression leading me to simply not give a damn. It's taken a few months, but I managed to force myself to get back in the habit of brushing again after I finally got out of my previous living arrangements.


I do have a cavity in one of my front teeth, though. There's a lesson in this: Chewing on paper clips? Bad idea. That's where it came from.

Yea, Bitmap. I had that as well, but not as bad. Just a little nick in one of my carnivores. What was really bad for me though was my gums literally inflated. Like, I performed self surgery with my fingernail on one of my gums because it go so big it was painful. (Not the brightest thing, but it did the trick apparently...) It later turned out it was both mild gingivitis (which is normal for braces) and nickle allergy. The perfect mouth infection if you ask me... :/

Ah.

I use an expensive electric toothbrush, and brush 4 minutes, once a day.

It keeps my teeth white, even though I drink tea and coffee routinely.
