Wisdom teeth

I don't  know how old your children are but if they are young, like under 18, you might want to make sure they clean their teeth at least twice a day.

I always made my son rinse his mouth about 5 times first, then flossed, then brushed.

Are they going to do invisalign or metal braces?

I had my teeth fixed on the NHS: and I don't regret it.

Because I had my wisdom teeth out, my teeth were straightened with a brace and haven't become wonky again.

Having nice teeth is very important to me.

That's what I used to think as well. A while back, someone told me that it was easier to keep straight teeth clean vs. crooked teeth.

This is true Cherry, especially when it comes to flossing.

Had my top two out when I was younger. Later on when I was an adult they had to surgically remove the bottom two. They had to cut into the gum and break the teeth to get them out as the root was wrapped around my jaw bone. They dislocated my jaw and had to put it back into place. I was so swollen that I had to hold ice packs on my cheeks. And I was so bruised they thought my husband had been hitting me.

I think that's a good move.

Talking about teeth, both of my sisters are dentist so I have an advantage...

I have my teeth clean three times a year, not two. I have never had a cavity in my entire life so far, I do eat sweet though, not excessively but a few times a week, I drink soda, have desserts, why should we deprive ourselves? I had to wear braces twice since during the first two years after I gave birth to my son, I was not diligent with wearing retainers at night. I stopped getting professional whitening since they are not as effective as they advertise, the toothpaste and the solution I am using are very effective to keep the teeth looking white and clean. When it comes to nice teeth, there are only three things: even not crooked, white, and clean. Also, don't forget about your gum, they are as important as your teeth.

I had one out years ago. I was quite worried at the time as the dentist got a second dentist in the room to assist. The tooth took a lot of taking out. It felt like he was trying to extract my jaw or something. I have wondered since whether a better dentist may have saved it as it was just painful, not problematic in any other way.

EEK!
