My step father had severe dental issues, no other health problems, and out of nowhere ended up in the hospital getting open heart surgery. In the end they said the infection was coming from his mouth, completely blew my mind

@@Notoastleftit’s crazy; oral infections are no joke.
An acquaintance lost his partner a couple years back because she had a tooth infection that went septic. It happened so fast, too. She was in the ER within days of complaining about an issue with her tooth, and within a week she was gone. She was only in her mid 30s and relatively good health.
Shit was tragic as hell and really drove home how important oral health is.
Why would you just slap a bandaid over the issue 😂
literally no part of the body is safe 😭

Dying from infections rooted in the teeth was a major cause of death a hundred years ago. People need to take this kind of crap seriously and not just go to some meme tiktokers basement for a literal medical procedure.
I almost died from the pain of my impacted wisdom tooth and it is really not a joke...Without going for surgery I would have died from the pain

FOR CHEAPER DENTAL CARE: check out reputable dental schools! the students may not be able to do advanced procedures, but they can do standard procedures that are necessary for a healthy mouth. they’re highly supervised and the cost is much lower than a regular dentist.
Or go to Mexico, Columbia, or turkey. They have good dental work
@@Starlet997 If that was the case, why don't you go to China for construction. Cheaper doesn't mean better. Plus if anything goes wrong after leaving that country, you'd have to shell out travel and hotel stays AGAIN. Save a buck to give more bucks
@@Starlet997 I went to Cancun to get dental work done. luckily I work for Delta so I only paid 70 bucks for the flight. Basically I had to get a root canal and like eight cavities done as well as a deep cleaning. My dentist wanted $8000 and that's after insurance. I went to Cancun, they picked me up from the airport and took me to the dentist and did all of my work in two days and I only paid 1600 for everything plus my insurance reimbursed me. You'll never catch me at an American dentist ever again. just absolute BS.
@@maddfinn11where'd you go?
@@Starlet997girl no
I hate how the norm right now for teeth is like super bright white and shiny on screen when in real life that's not the case at all with real people around, it used to make me feel so insecure about my own teeth
You said “used to” make you feel insecure, how’d you get over that? I’m struggling
@@dusk4819 i know this might not be a lot of help for your specific problem but i got what you might call "ugly teeth" ?? at least by these veneer ppls standards i just got a tooth gap and some crooked teeth and i just remind myself a) as long as theyre not falling out and i dont have any complications, health issues, cavities etc im good b) remind yourself these trends literally go by so fast and knocking yourself down over what OTHER people think OF YOUR LITERAL SKELETON (teeth are part of the skeletal system!!) is not worth it
this probably didnt help but i just wanna help you feel better about yourself cuz at the end of the day if youre not secure in yourself aint no fake turkey teeth procedure gonna fix the issue
@@LACHRYMA👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 you are damn right!
Dental surgery hurts a lot when it goes WELL, can’t even imagine what it’s like if there are complications 😱
i'm 22 and i've never been able to "get my teeth fixed", just because i grew up poor and it was never an option. they're healthy, just overcrowded and crooked. i wonder sometimes if i even need to "fix" them or if i'm just a victim of classist beauty standards
Despite what people are saying in the comments (that it's merely comestic) it is also for health reasons. When you have overcrowded teeth you're more likely to get tartar and cavities because they're harder to clean. I just fixed my teeth with Invisalign at 23. My bottom teeth were overcrowded and I used to get more plaque buildup in those teeth that were crowded. Now that they're aligned they don't get that plaque anymore. I brush my teeth well and floss everyday and it still happened, but I've never had any cavities or tartar though.

The best part is that they put thousands of dollars in the mouths of 11 year olds, then throw a piece of plastic at you and say “wear this for the rest of your life or you’ll have to get braces again”.
I am in my late 20s. When I was younger my parents had good insurance so I had regular dental care. All of my siblings except for me got braces. My older sibling needed it more, but I am unsure about my younger siblings.
I have always had some crowding but nothing crazy. As an adult I now also have great benefits. At my last dental cleaning the dentist came in talking about braces. I was shocked because this is the first my (almost) 30yo self is hearing about braces, so I asked if it was needed for health reasons. He said that it wasn't, I would be fine if I diligently flossed my teeth.
There are some people who need braces, but it's mostly cosmetic. Another way to prey on people's insecurities to get money.
I remember my parents forced me to get braces at 17. I was so against it thinking I was too old and was embarrassed to be in college with braces. Now I’m so thankful I had the privilege to get them clearly my parents knew something I didn’t.
I find that so interesting, because in the country I live in now, a lot of people get braces in adulthood. After going for a consultation myself when I was in college, I realise that it's because of the high cost for orthodontic care, which most people can't afford for their children. When I grew up in private school, I knew a few kids with braces, but only one adult. Now, I even know someone in his 60s with braces, and honestly, it inspires me to keep improving myself as I get older. I never did follow up on the consultation, but I really want to when I can afford it.
There's also a fake braces trend here, which is connected to the image of braces as a symbol of status and wealth. I haven't heard of veneer techs here, but I'm sure the trend will get here soon.
i was the same way. i was younger but still embarrassed of having braces more than my crooked teeth. im not so grateful that my parents spent the money on me
@@simonehill3693 yeah here in America adults usually get Invisalign, which is basically just invisible braces or their teeth are already straight, which means that they have braces when they were child. But it is kind of looked down on for adults to have traditional braces
When i was in 3rd grade and my teeth is falling and growing a new one, my mom.noticed that my bottom teeth didn't expel the baby teeth before the new one grew, instead it grew behind the baby teeth. She rushed me to the dentist and had the baby teeth pulled to give room to the new teeth.
It still hurts like hell, but now i thank her for that.
Not thinking teeth matter is such a privilege. I hate seeing my smile captured. People will talk about you like the dirtiest person in the world if your smile isn't perfect.
this youtuber seems privileged and a bit dense.
@@jaedae6434in what way? the main point of videos like this is that if you have the money to get fake teeth that damage ur body then u should put that miney towards an actual doctor.
you should listen to the song crooked smile by J Cole, it's a very impowering song about this same subject
Is it Like one or multiple teeth stacking on top of each other bad, or bad hyigiene bad?
I'm so glad you brought up about how the veneer techs are mainly in Atlanta and how Black ppl's lack of access to dental work definitely plays a part in this. I do agree flex culture is also a huge part of, but also, I met someone here who got veneers from a "veneer tech" but she hadn't gone in for a cleaning in years-- she said the veneers were "cheaper" 😢 and she didn't have traditional dental insurance. There's a lack of education around teeth too. Many people actually don't even know that tooth infections, cavities, and impacted teeth can kill you. People don't even know there's nerves connected to your brain from there
Yep. TMG. Extremely painful. Causes migraines for me
I think Black Ppl need A LOT of access to education that’s severely gatekept. But for some reason, nobody wants to talk about that or get the statistics to back it up! Like it’s severe and it breaks my heart.
a girl from bad girls club (winter) has been going on for like two years about how her veneers ruined her life and now she has a sensory issue where she’s in pain constantly 24/7 from getting a botched veneers job, and she’s been spending upwards of 100k to get them fixed to no avail, but the worse thing is these doctors can’t even identify the problem bc it’s a very rare thing to even attempt to fix so she’s spending like 80k a month for a corrective procedure that might not even work, and there in lies the issue, ppl need to be more aware of the types of cosmetic procedures they get done bc a lot of them are irreversible and/or deadly and/or cause permanent damage, and a lot of these doctors (who aren’t even doctors) commit malpractice/perform illegal procedures and gaslight you for the damage they cause
I saw her story on Troyce. I can't imagine the anxiety she must be going through knowing that there only seems to be a handful of people in the world who can help her and her remedy may even be experimental because doctors cannot explain why what is happening to her _is_ happening. It may not even be oral related. Maybe nerve or neural damage? What if the only solution is to remove some nerve fibers in her mouth at the expense of her never feeling sensation? I wish her all the best.
this same thing happened to tana mongeauo. she cant drink anything unless its out of a straw bc her teeth are literally painful
2 day veneer class is INSANE!!
my hate of veneers started when my dad got them when I was young. We had matching smiles so I had no clue why he wanted to change his. Did a number on my own confidence too 🤦🏾♀

Clarissa.c has a video on this subject too
@@blesbeauty1018 I've watched hers too!
Right? The lifelong repercussions are fascinating. I used to be the same with transgender surgery regrets. It was a deep, deep rabbit hole. I recommend watching Blair White's interview with Shapeshifter. With all this nerve damage from procelin teeth and brittle bones from hormone replacement therapy, the medical industry is dark and cannot be trusted.
You couldn’t PAY me to put those piano keys in my mouth.
My ONE recurring nightmare is "my teeth fall out". I don't have any others. I also had top and bottom braces, a palette expander AND nightly headgear. And I needed a lot of this because of a fairly prominent underbite. I feel for a lot of the desperate people who are scammed by these "veneer techs". I have no sympathy for the "veneer techs" for the harm they are doing to people
I am from central EU and it always surprised me how American culture seems to put a very large significance on "perfect looking teeth".
Teeth health is important as anywhere else, but the hollywood smile is more often seen as unnatural and whitening procedures are not as common. It's interesting.
Not even the typical American can afford just cavity fillers. These are being done by super rich influencers and celebs, therefore making all us feel even more broke, ugly, and causing people to take out loans for procedures and owing lots of money to the banks and doctors. Its always some scam to get poor people to splash out huge so we'll stay sheep, and they'll stay the goat
teeth being a beauty standard is so so so weird 😭😭

It actually makes sense cause teeth are an indicator of health.
Good dental hygiene is absolutely beautiful, and lack of can deter people from thinking well of you. During COVID, I had a cashier job, and everyone was wearing masks at the beginning. The next year, they became more lax, and people started taking off their masks and omg my coworkers' teeth were horrendous. One girl in particular was so beautiful and had straight teeth, but she was a smoker and her teeth were extremely yellow because of it. So even though she had nice teeth, the smoke tint on her teeth made her look bad.
A smile is the first thing many people notice about a face, so it makes complete sense that they would be factored into beauty. You're not about to sit there and say you wouldn't see an otherwise attractive man as less attractive if when he smiled at you, he had a bunch of yellow/brown, crooked, chipped teeth.
True, but it should also be an obvious one on why it’s a beauty standard.
I’d say in the Uk almost more men get what we call “Turkey teeth” veneers
I had an ex who just whitened his teeth every time he had a dental isssue. Abscess? Tooth ache? Just put some white strips on! And he always got so many compliments on his teeth smh. Little did anyone know they were literally rotting out and he never went to a dentist
I’m hollering. Not the rotting teeth. I know that breathe was HOT!😭
The way mouths have so much effect on other parts of the body makes me so paranoid. Veneers look so damn painful
These people are having basically Nail acrylic built onto their natural teeth. There is extreme similarity in nail building products and dental building products. These people are playing with chemicals that they aren’t even knowledgeable about.
I was born without the teeth on either side of my two front teeth which is an extremely common congenital defect. I had an ungodly amount of money pumped into my mouth by my very generous single mom to ensure that my skull grew without problems down the line but this left big gaps where the teeth would go. For years I wore fake ones to hide it but my puppy ate my retainer and so now I'm kinda stuck like this. There are people who have normalized it, but it's a huge insecurity for me because of the implications that accompany missing teeth. Despite me never having had a cavity in my life and otherwise fairly good dental health, there's always that concern people will look down on you or make assumptions about your history because of it.
So it really boggles my mind that people are putting their lives in danger to fix something that wasn't broken just to show off. I understand there are social pressures involved. I'm guessing they're trying to make up for their own insecurities. But your health is so precious and can be lost in an instant. It's NEVER worth it to cut corners or pursue flash in the pan vanity trends.
the saddest part about this is that there is a kpop group called ILLIT, which has members aged around 15. They all got veneers. Even if they aren't veneers but crowns since we can obviously not know for sure, they still have to shave down a layer from their teeth or at least use some invasive techniques. Which is a lot at such a young age...
It needs to be replaced every 5-10 years though, and idols are notably underpaid 😭 that breaks my heart to hear honestly
@@Demonocityythe company pays for the plastic surgery and cosmetic surgery but the idol has to pay them back which makes them go deeper into debt
They’re not even the exception, the worst veneers in kpop I would say if seventeen 100% they had beautiful bunny teeth and now most of the members have removed them
@@jimin8006 which members?😅 sorry, dont stan
That isn’t the only sad part about being a kpop idol. Being a kpop idol is sad and terrible at any age let alone 15..
It’s crazy how veneers go twisted from something helpful to replace a tooth here or there that was no longer structural to something ppl do for no good reason
Like why would you remove healthy teeth or gums!!
@@ale52dez i think they go over your teeth
tbf veneers and crowns are different! crowns are when they shave down the tooth to a nub and place an entire cap over it, which is normally used to replace damaged teeth due to decay.
veneers are PURELY cosmetic, and they place a thin layer (of composite, porcelain, zirconia, etc) over the front of the tooth to make it appear whiter or more uniform. the issue is, a lot of ppl don’t know the difference!
so you end up with an insecure 20-something assuming that they’re getting something to just make their teeth look nicer, but in reality they end up with a full mouth of something normally reserved for unsalvageable, decaying teeth
I grew up in Ireland, and just ten years ago braces weren’t very common here. I got them because my overbite was so bad that eating was difficult, but I was one of the only kids in my school with them. Nowadays they are more common here, and I think that’s generally a good thing but I’m afraid that veneer ‘clinics’ will start popping up too. I really hope they don’t, I can imagine people like my mother who wished they had straighter teeth falling for it.
I’ll never forget working with a woman in her 60s. She had gotten veneers 10+ years prior. She had to get dentures because her teeth started rotting underneath.
It's amazing how some of these these ppl haven't been sued or arrested yet😭
I really can't bring myself to sympathize with people who deal with the consequences of unnecessary cosmetic procedures. People have let social media cloud their judgement tremendously - they throw out their common sense and get potentially fatal procedures just to be able to take pictures and videos to post online.....
i never realized teeth were such a big deal till lorde started singing about them on pure heroine 😭
My grandmother would tell me about how her mom, who grew up poor in rural Alabama, was super insecure about her teeth and would rarely smile because she hated how crooked they were
Teeth? You mean luxury bones?
While I don't think there's an expectation for straight men to check every box physically. There DEFINITELY is a set of physical expectations that gay men constantly hold themselves to & expect other gay men to follow. Having perfect teeth is pretty high on that list when it comes to even being considered attractive in predominately queer male spaces.
Omg you’re so right because I’m one of the teeth people. 😭
Also I love how almost every time you make a video about some trendy beauty standard you’re like “well I happen to perfectly fit this standard, but I can imagine it would be tough not to” hahaha. I’m a little jealous, but I love your confidence, you’re beautiful and you know it, as you should!
to me it shows immaturity.
@@jaedae6434Lol, you sound bitter and pressed.
@@bmwjourdandunngoddess6024 i have an opinion that is different than yours is all. you’re mad for whatever reason i don’t care for.
I feel like one of the reason that people go for veneers. Is due to TIME . I think you mentioned it quickly but didn’t put emphasis on it. Having braces take timeeeeee….mine took 3years and still counting because of covid and external factors in and out of my control. Veneers are a quick fix especially in a world were people are racing to glow up all the time .
I didn’t go to the dentist until I was 12 because my parents couldn’t afford it. My teeth were always crooked and I hated it but now when I go to the dentist and talk to them about things like online Invisalign they tell me to stay away from it and that my teeth are perfectly fine and I should be happy with them
Most braces are for medical reasons rather than aesthetic ones. I had very streight teeth and needed braces because the gap between my upper and lower teeth eas off by a few mm. My sister had to get braces because she had one molar that was rotatteed by 180 degrees and it would've worn down too quickly.
i remember seeing in a documentary that they make special kind of veneers who look super white and cool (instead of you know, just normal white) that they well specifically to the americans. veneers in europe look natural (still a bad idea to get them) at least
yeah I heard about that too. The extra white teeth is a specifically american obsession. In europe dentists try to approximate natural teeth color as much as possible. Even teeth whitening to the extent that americans do it, is not common over here. I imagine that hundred of years from now archeologists will identify well-preserved skulls as american through the massive difference in color between their teeth and the rest of their bones lmao. Cause human bones never even look that white!
I love having your videos on in the background as I move around in the morning!
About the braces: I’m from Germany and almost everyone I know had braces because of teeth and jaw problems. Some did it for the looks yes, but most were genuinely health reasons
All I want for Christmas is cheap dental insurance
I got braces and it was the best money I ever spent. I actually needed jaw surgery so I just opted for braces for my jaw misalignment and severe open bite. Idk why ppl with nice teeth would destroy them. Once you destroy them that's it. I wish dentist would refuse services to ppl that don't need them and lead to more problems in the future. And the illegal veneer "techs" should be arrested. Ppl are dying, starving, etc and this is the stupid shit ppl are doing? We are really living in the hunger games.
Good teeth don't grow back. Once they start popping in at 6-9 years old you have to take care of them for the rest of your life because that is as good as it will get.
There's a clip of Tana Mongeu (sp) of her veneer falling out. Her tooth was shaven down to a very tiny, barely visible 'stump'. I promise after seeing that, you'll count your teeth in your daily prayer! 😊
as someone who also grew up in a middle class area (in australia) but without the middle class funds I am now 22 with insanely crooked teeth that I am so self conscious about and it was such a shock to learn that braces aren't just a right of passage (everyone I knew had them in school) and also that most people don't consider them a cosmetic procedure. I am now at the stage of working out if I should just learn to love my unique, crooked teeth or shell out a couple grand that could be used for other things just to finally fit in
I got my braces in my 20s since my parents couldn't afford it and it was the best money spent. Aside from the aesthetic, my speech improved and I could eat more easily. I paid $200 monthly after the down payment. Idk about your country but I would ask.
I recently got braces at 27 years old due to dental issues. My teeth looked fine but my uneven bite was cracking teeth. I couldn’t believe how expensive they are, so I show them off as much as I can LOL
Oh man I suffered from so much pain due to my tmj and had to undergo 2 surgeries and yet people are buying pain for aesthetics...
I love how you mentioned the status/wealth symbol connected to them as well. Yes it’s vanity but a lot of people want to fit in/look nice, and look like or appear to be wealthy. This conversation is actually very nuanced.
every time Madisyn finished a video I know it’s time to danceeee i looove that song 💃🏻💃🏻
It seems like such a liability for actors to have overly perfect teeth, particularly if they ever want to play one of us poors. There have been a few times I have been sucked out of the experience of watching a movie by an actor having teeth they just shouldn't have
Same!! I notice it more with stuff made in the US and less with movies from other countries. Media from the US has a big international influence tho so I’m nervous about this spreading to other places as well
Also, slightly crooked teeth can make an actor more visually distinct. Uniformity has made actors so look boring now compared to the variety we used to see. Unique physical traits shouldn't be shunned this badly.
it's so funny as someone who lived in spain for a few years, i never realized the strict standard having straight, white teeth was an american thing. i remember going to the dentist inquring about teeth whitening after my cleaning and she looked at me super confused then brought over the shades of white teeth and mine matched the whitest ones. my international friends too thought it was funny, apparently the whole 'go to the to the dentist every six months or else your teeth are gonna fall out" is a very american thing as well. also the words 'tik tok veneer tech' is such a crazy string of words that's hilarious and horrifying
When I see people irl with veneers i want to laugh because they look insane
I actually have extremely severe dental issues for a woman of 30... I haven't had dental insurance for over 10 years and I have been saving for a very long time to start the process of getting dental implants.. it's a lot more than just putting fake teeth in your mouth. I could never imagine somebody just slapping something over my severely damaged teeth. Super cringy.
When i was 17 my parents forced me to get braces and they seriously wrecked my teeth. I didn’t want them, and i had a tooth gap which i loved, and i wish i still had, but the worst part is when they got removed my dentist ripped off the enamel on all my teeth. I have white scars on all my teeth, and my dentist said not to worry and they would go away. Come to find out after i saw a different dentist, that isn’t normal, i cant ever get my enamel back and now i just have to have these tooth scars forever and im extremely cavity prone now which i wasn’t before. And i have to use prescription tooth paste that is like chalk. The braces weren’t medically necessary for me and i wish i had a say in it especially since i was a year away from being an adult
I’m from Europe and I get my teeth checked/cleaned at least once a year (it’s quite a normal thing in my country), tho for example in the UK most ppl never go to the dentist cause it’s not very accessible sadly. Last year I asked if they could do an x-ray for my wisdom teeth (usually happens every 2 years) cause I felt like they were pushing my other teeth. That’s how I found out that 2 of them were growing diagonally and that I had a cyst in my jaw :( so I got all of them removed. I only realized afterwards that all the headaches, neck and shoulder pain I had been experiencing came from my teeth and cyst. If sm pain can come from a naturally occurring issue, just imagine what getting bad veneers will do to your teeth and the nerves in your body, no thank you. I also started getting my teeth corrected after that and honestly, sure I think my smile looks nicer, but it’s also way easier to clean my teeth! I’m 24 and most ppl I know got their teeth corrected in high school, but I would definitely encourage ppl of any age to consider getting their teeth corrected if they are able to, not for the aesthetics, but for longterm healthy teeth. Just hoping that instead of putting money towards veneers ppl will use it for actual dental care (cause even bad veneers aren't cheap so whhyy). A quick fix for being healthy doesn’t exist and just looking "healthy" shouldn’t be the goal.
watching this while brushing my teeth…..👀
Love your videos, madisyn!! Thanks for posting
I personally dont see braces as cosmetic, but thats just my personal opinion. They do a lot to line up your teeth and optimize your bite to make it healthy, particularly for your jaw muscles. Invisilign reduces my jaw pain and night grinding of my teeth. They also helped with a swallowing issue i had. Aesthetics FOR SURE is a part of it, but tbh i think braces are still very much a medical necessity. I think we view dental procedures in the US as luxorious or less necessary just bc of how shite our medical system is and what insurance typically covers. But braces to me are very much medically necessary not just for aesthetics and i wish insurance did more to cover these needed procedures!
Needed braces due to my bite! Parents made the financial sacrifice for me.
All the optional cosmetic dental work says nothing to me. No one is grinding down my intact teeth to glue on a sliver of artificial surface!
So many of these interesting trends
as a dental assistant here.. the tiktoks were hard to watch
It's bonkers that safe veneers from a legit dentist are stupid expensive--even with insurance. I've been quoted over $1k to cover just 4 teeth, and given a ~10 year lifespan before they need to be replaced. The thing is, I've had epoxy bondings (basically a custom resin veneer) on those 4 teeth for over 10 years and they're still fine. Even my dentist who would profit from slapping veneers in my skull has told me there's no reason to invest unless something breaks.
4:00 two day class is crazy LMAO
Another day, another group of weirdos on TikTok giving awful and potentially dangerous medical advice
Well personally I'm a fan of veneers made of wood. Especially since they're eco friendly...
People love the pop on veneers because you can remove those all the time and brush your teeth and keep your teeth clean and that will not hurt your teeth at all.
omg I didnt even realize veneers were a thing, I have felt so so self concious about my teeth because they arent perfectly white or perfectly shaped and I have been so worried about when my teeth look imperfect in photos. Or the fact that too much gum shows when I smile but its all just my natural body, they are straight and an average healthy color and yet I feel so insecure about them
i think people coming to Turkey to get Turkey teeth don't do their research well enough. I'm Turkish and my uncle is a dentist. he NEVER does veneers, because they are sooo invasive and so damaging. he offers to do procedures that will help with the structure of the teeth, but will never do veneers. It's funny to see how Turkish people almost NEVER get veneers, but people travel here to get it done.
Braces are not cosmetic. An incorrect bite can cause tooth loss, jaw problems etc.
I was about to say this as a 35 yr old adult currently suffering through braces.
Does anyone remember this old commercial for Pedigree dog food that was called “Doggy Dentures”? This reminds me of that
Yall stay safe 😢
Braces are not aesthetics procedure. Straight teeth create many problems and its something that should be tackled. Also the reason people in West need braces its because of horrible western diet full of soft squishy food like toast bread, cookies, hot dogs, jam, french fries, canned food etc. - there is just not enough chewing for teeth to develop properly. In places where people eat a lot of hard raw plant food like tubers they have beautiful straight teeth.
Braces is just another price we pay for unhealthy western lifestyle. Its wild people think straight teeth are somewhat unnatural and artifical when its completely normal and achievable if healthy diet is given to a child.
I think that it would be a good idea to teach people how to clean teeth, especially for those that cannot access healthcare that is super reasonable, but a veneer is just too much for me
Why do all the "techs" look JANKY or SOUND JANKY?
No way in hell.
My husband and I are retired. We could afford dental insurance but it’s SO bad. You pay a huge amount for one solid year and get nothing for it. Dentists aren’t really in private practice anymore …they are corporately owned and the dentists have to meet requirements. The same thing is happening to veterinary practice…corporations are buying them and then the vets have to meet monthly quotas.
I wanna have rainbow veneers with vampire fangs😭❤but I don't know if any doctor will agree to it, but I just need it SO MUCH
When I got braces as an adult I had to get $5000 worth of dental care first before they would even do the braces.
And that’s not even a permit fixture to my mouth.
Not caring for health before doing this is crazy.
I had my dental veneers done at CGSmile in Miami and my teeth are completely ruined. I’m in pain daily and lost a few teeth because of this. My bite is off and they lied through and through. They rushed me out of there as soon as the veneers were applied and I wasn’t able to make any adjustments.. I weighed 190. Now I weigh 130. I’m living off of protein shakes as I can’t chew or swallow solids it’s caused me to force my lower jaw backwards so I have trouble breathing. CGSmile blocked me from reaching out to them and I have had reconstructive surgeon try to contact the owners so he could get me the help I need. And they refused to talk to him. It’s caused my to develop POTS and PTSD flashbacks. The dentist had no clue what to do and was showing me videos of war victims while I was in his chair. It’s traumatizing. STAY AWAY FROM CGSmile 😢
It's insane to me that kids get braces here so regularly, especially because your teeth continue to shift throughout your life. They tried so hard to convince my impoverished family that I needed braces because of my gapped teeth. I had read about the uselessness of braces and put my foot down so that my grandparents didn't sign onto a $3k bill. Fast forward to 26 years old, and almost every gap has naturally closed itself with time alone. The one gap I still have is very slight. Are my teeth straight and beautiful? No. Are they healthy and well cared for? ABSOLUTELY. And I can proudly say I've never dropped bands to get them to look a certain way.
Love ya work girl
I had braces as a teen. for the most part my teeth are relatively straight, minus one wonky tooth and I just…don’t really care? my bottom set of teeth are hardly on display that often to bother being that self conscious over; and more than that, it looks human yk 🤷🏻♀️
As a European the whole discussion is very interesting because it shows the various approachs regarding healthcare. It seems that in the US everything, including healthcare and dentistry is a product and quality is not always the most important criteria. In Europe, thanks to basic health system and preventive dentistry as kids, we have a decent healthcare quality and braces as kids also help to keep your teeth healthy. Also a dentist would never suggest to have braces if you don't need them, they will not try to sell you a product based on pure aesthetics if there is not a real medical need. Veneers are stil rare in Europe and people mostly go to Turkey to get some.
I got braces as a kid cause my teeth were horribly misshapen and it caused me jaw problems. Idk what exactly went wrong but my bite went from an overbite to a cross-overbite. Basically my teeth didnt fit on top of each other before and after the braces and Ive been living with TMJ and chronic pain for years now
These training classes have people in a chokehold. They think a certificate is enough. No! You get certificates during or after schooling ask for a state dental license and check online for their credentials anyone can get a certificate
braces aren't mainly for cosmetic purposes! crowding in your teeth can make them harder to clean and lead to a higher rate of cavities and gum disease, and almost everyone who needs braces needs to have their bite corrected through the use of rubber bands because a bad bite can lead to your teeth wearing unevenly or chipping and jaw problems as you age. getting braces at a younger age is a preventative measure to ensure that kids can clean their teeth properly for the rest of their lives, which is especially important because bad oral hygiene can lead to whole body problems including heart disease.
The only Kids who got braces in my middle class back in the day, the only kids I knew who got braces were ones who either had a TON of money or who needed them hem medically. Those kids were made fun of.
On the other end, im someone who’s family genetically have bad teeth. Like we have an entire side of the family that are dentists and it does not matter, our teeth just don’t do well in life. I had the dental care growing up and it didn’t matter. Like it prevented stuff from being WORSE but I am simply more susceptible to things like cavities because of my genes and both my parents and their parents have the same issues. We as the public truly do not get taught enough about wtf is going on with our teeth imo.
Personally I always needed braces but through twists of life never got them. Now I'm in my 20s and getting them would be a major inconvenience. I have kind of accepted my odd smile and slightly out of place jaw. However my two front teeth are semi-fake (I broke them in half falling as a kid) and as a result are much more yellow than the rest. I genuinely had not paid much attention to it until my dentist brought it up recently, suggesting that I do get them whitened with the clinic. I now have another mouth insecurity that I have to overcome BECAUSE my dentist brought attention to it, and I will never forgive them for it.
I've never understood the desire for perfect straight white teeth, my teeth are definitely more wholewheat than white and I'm fine with that, i got Invisalign just a few days ago and I'm looking forward to them being straighter purely for functional reasons, i think my overbite caused my 2 chipped teeth 😅
I never knew they had veneers 😭
Kinda crazy u made this video bc this veneer thing been hugging my algorithm all May.
never in my 19 years of living have thought abt my teeth (i have vampire teeth ish crooked HEALTHY teeth)
12:22 or the Cybertrucks of teeth
I'm saving money to get my teeth gap fixed and this video reminded me to actually go to a licensed clinic 💀
I had braces twice. There is nothing like your natural teeth. I live in Vegas and alot of ppl have veneers and the up keep of having them in insane
Yeah had braces and now have a permanent retainer it's hard to floss but my teeth have been well. I wouldn't ever get veneers much less crowns. A lot of people are legit getting crowns thinking it's veneers and having their teeth shaved it's horrifying
honestly the dentist in mexico are so cheap and very good as well! i got my braces there and paid $50 per month
i also got a root canal and it was $600
I just wanna tell everyone went to that I went to Cancun to get dental work done. luckily I work for Delta so I only paid 70 bucks for the flight. Basically I had to get a root canal and like eight cavities done as well as a deep cleaning. My dentist wanted $8000 and that's after insurance. I went to Cancun, they picked me up from the airport and took me to the dentist and did all of my work in two days and I only paid 1600 for everything plus my insurance reimbursed me. You'll never catch me at an American dentist ever again. just absolute BS money hungry scammers. Please look up alternative ways to get your teeth done, but not like this. If you can go to Cancun, I 100% recommend it
The only reason I want braces is because my teeth hurt sometimes and I really get annoyed cuz it hurts
Watching this from France, dear America, this is insane! 😮 how are these people even able to open their « veneer techs »??? It would be shut down here in a second. Crazy! It is prohibited in France: a dental surgeon does not have the right to file his client's healthy teeth, under penalty of being prosecuted for mutilation.
