    This is a message I hope young people see. I’m so passionate about taking care of teeth now because I’ve had to literally and figuratively pay for past mistakes as an adult. My parents didn’t take me to the dentist for about 12 years after I threw a tantrum at the dentist when I was five (I’d embarrassed them). They didn’t give me the skills to look after my teeth at home - I had never seen dental floss until I was an adult. They didn’t make sure I was cleaning my teeth, and so I didn’t clean them much. I had to beg them to take me to the dentist when I was 17 after a piece of my tooth came off. I decided to take my oral health seriously when I was in my 20s, and it meant multiple cleanings to reverse early periodontal disease, many fillings, wisdom teeth extraction, and braces. For years now I have been super diligent with cleaning my teeth, and my dentist tells me how healthy my gums are and how good a job I’m doing keeping everything clean. However, despite all that work and money, I’ve just had to have root canal on a front tooth because the deep fillings required have slowly killed the nerve. My dentist tells me there was nothing I did wrong in the last few years. It all stems from not taking care of my teeth as a child; the damage was done and I could not reverse it as an adult, no matter how much I changed my habits. Please, take care of your teeth from when you’re a kid, because you will absolutely regret it as an adult if you don’t.

      Wow, I’m so sorry to hear all of this. I’m glad things are going better and you were able to (mostly) correct your situation. You probably already know this, but none of this is your fault. Your parents, however, are fully to blame. Refusing to take your five-year-old kid to the dentist for twelve years because they embarrassed you is textbook neglect. Kids that age don’t have a full understanding of normal social behaviors-it isn’t fair to be punished for something your developing brain couldn’t yet grasp…

      @@Coochellati Neglect is definitely the right word. There are parents with children who have specific situations like autism that make dental visits very difficult for the child (and adult), and those parents still make sure to adhere to a good dentist visit schedule (just with a dentist who's equipped to make those visits easier for those children, hopefully). A single tantrum is not an excuse to neglect a child's teeth. Glad you got yourself back on track with dental care. Even though you can't undo the damage done to your mouth as a child, still, you have saved yourself a *lot* of grief with your efforts.

    • @teletalk101
      @teletalk101 14 днів тому +6

      Thank you both for your kind words. I fully agree, it was neglect. They didn’t do their jobs as parents. Sadly, I didn’t recognise that at the time, but as an adult I look back and can connect the dots. It makes me really angry to be honest. I often say to my husband after a dental appointment, “Should we send the bill to my parents?” - a joke, of course, but a sad one. I’m hoping this will be my only root canal, but who knows?
      The one benefit, though, is when you do all this for yourself as an adult (braces in particular), you value the investment so much more and it makes you really take care of your teeth well because it was your money and your effort that went into it.

    My mom lost her teeth in her late 40s early 50s, all of them. The roots came loose (she is a "mild" smoker, always has been, but she took care of herself, it's not like an extreme). Due to pregnancy she lost 3 upper teeth and had a little small denture with 3 teeth on it, for literally years without problems. But then in her 40/50s... She had bad (and I mean bad) osteoporosis (post-menopausal), because I feel no-one talks about this in women, it is a real issue. Due to that she could not get implants (they wouldn't touch it) and dentures were her only option. She is now going to be 79 and yes, the past decade, the bone has shrunken immensely. And what also no one addresses is how bad, literally terrible, bottom dentures are. Your tongue is right there and so it's a little strip of teeth that no-one can comfortably wear. I mean there has to be a solution to that at least. The first thing my mom does when coming back in the house is remove the bottom ones and stick them in the jar. And that's what my gran and her mom before her did. My gran even threw them on the table every time she came in. How they never broke is beyond me. They *are* super annoying. Forget all those "neat" commercials where people with dentures bite into a hard green apple. All I have to say is... yeah, right. As if. It's like eating with something, a barrier, in your mouth. PITA. Avoid them if you can, *at all costs* because they are the worst! I see this with my mom. It's why my dad doesn't want them and is hanging in there with his 4/5 bottom teeth. OMG. A tale onto itself. LOL But anyway, I had braces, and braces and then some more braces (the loose kind and the fixed brackets). I had terrible overgrowth and an open bite. But at age, almost, 52, I have all my teeth, bar one root canal and a do-up with composite. But that's not bad, and yes, looking after what you got is *super duper important* because I see the path I'm not wanting to take any time soon. My grandpa always told us kids, 'the longer you can keep your own teeth, the better". And those life-lessons matter.

    I appreciate how Ben broke down the snowball effect - from not brushing to bleeding gums to more pain to even less brushing. It makes total sense, but I never thought about it that way before.
    The info about dentures was eye-opening too. I had no idea that without implants, your face could change shape as you get older. That's wild!

    I lost my beautiful teeth at the age of 27 due to complications from cancer treatments. The dentist i went to showed me the horrible pics of what i would look like if I didn’t get implants. How my face would collapse on itself due to the bone wasting away from not being stimulated. The posts that were to be drilled into my jawbone were $5k a piece. I could only afford two, tho he insisted i needed a minimum of eight. I got the two in my bottom front as the arch of the top creates a suction which stabilizes the top denture. That was ten years ago. He was right about the bone wasting away. It has. But he was wrong when he said the posts would prevent it. It has shrunk equally everywhere. I saw him a couple months ago (first time since the original surgery) to see if the posts need to be replaced as i was getting a new set of dentures. I asked him why the bones disintegrated with the posts in them. He said, “there could be a ton of reasons.” And left it at that. Why would metal posts “activate” or “stimulate” bone like a nerve would? Makes no sense to me

    Braces changed my habits big time and I don’t know how I dealt before..
    I was a solid one time a day brushed but didn’t floss and only brushed the once and I was thorough about it but it’s different now. I also didn’t go to a dentist for 20 years (no insurance so it was financial)
    Flossing and brushing after every meal and drinking anything other than water. Since I started doing that and seeing how much stuff was leftover in my teeth, I’ll never go back to lazy brushing again.
    It’s actually embarrassing knowing I walked around all those years thinking I was doing enough because I didn’t really see blood and it didn’t hurt when I brushed. But below the gums was a mess.
    After going through a root canal which finally resulted in extraction and then perio plus braces it’s a night and day difference.
    So glad I got right and the last 2 years I’ve had to do a LOT of catchup.

    Thats honestly unbelievable. I'm 34 and have NEVER had a cavity in my entire life even as a kid. I floss once everyday and brush my teeth only ONCE a day cuz literally thats all you need and my teeth are extremely healthy and white BUT I spend a full 3-5 minutes brushing and angles matter. The amount of people that dont understand brush angles when brushing is disgusting and sad

    Thank you so much Bentist! I suffer with chronic nausea from medications I'm on for life and the toothpaste, and I've tried so many, they all make me throw up..... so it made me stop brushing my teeth as an adult. But hearing you say I could brush my teeth without toothpaste and that would be better than nothing...... I'm literally going to start doing this. And look if anyone has any suggestions for toothpaste that might not make me throw up I'm all ears!
    Again thank you so muc Bentist! ❤

      Is it a flavour thing? You're not swallowing it are you?
      I know the company hismile has made a genius move and released toothpaste of other flavours (you'll be surpised how many people can't stand mint, it's rough for them. Terrible it took so long)- it's a bit expensive though.
      Maybe you can try childrens toothpaste, I remember it being really mild - used to be called "milk teeth"
      You could probably even find the stuff they use at the dentists which doesn'thave strong flavour either- maybe ask if they have suggestions.
      I also avoid brushing my tongue because that personally makes me nauseous.
      And mouthwash, the listerine green tea actually taste like green tea, it's nice. Or biotene.
      You could also try doing stuff that reduces nausea first - like drinking ginger or peppermint tea.

      I saw something I think the Bentist said in a video. It all depends on what type of bacteria is on your teeth. You get it if someone has bad bacteria and they kiss you or somehow you get their “mouth” on your mouth. And then the bacteria starts to decay the teeth and poop acid which ruins the teeth.

    • @Erideah
      @Erideah 11 днів тому +1

      ​@@Kopeboy22well, there is a thing where the particular bacteria needs to get introduced, but most people get it from their mom very early on--it's near impossible to avoid it in the long run
      This sounds more like the genetic thing where some people are basically immune to caries. You're still not immune to all other tooth issues, however

    My teeth were not this bad, but could have gotten here had I not desperately found an understanding and kind dental office. Bad, crumbling, brushing caused horrible anxiety. Good news is that mine were fixable! It happened because of sugary drinks, lack of flossing, and dental care. It was horrifying and got bad SO fast. Covid depression made it rapidly decline.
    10k worth of dental work so far (2 root canals, four crowns) and Bentist is right, it’s not worth it. Take care of your teeth! It’s awful and embarrassing to have bad teeth and it’s preventable! I am 35 and lucky my teeth were mostly salvageable. Even if you’re embarrassed or think there is no hope, GO! The body is incredibly resilient and modern dentistry has come so far!

    I had a friend who rarely brushed their teeth (depression, i've been there myself, luckily my teeth held on) and had multiple rotten and decayed teeth in their mouth. Basically only their front teeth seemed ok (at least on the surface). Hr said the local anesthesia doesn't work for them so that's why they don't want to go to the dentist, which, fair. But my understanding kinda stops when their mom promises to pay for the whole operation, which would be done under anesthesia and they still just won't go through with it. I haven't talked to him in over a seven months since i cut ties with him so idk what his current situation is. But i do wonder if he will end up with dentures.

    As someone who kind of went through this due to PTSD..i had no drive or even the thought of brushing my teeth just wasn't on my mind for a few years. This doesn't mean i didnt brush AT ALL.. the frequency just slow down because of the mental state I live in. Now my teeth are falling apart and I struggle with opiate addiction so going to the dentist and them giving me painkillers (that wont work because im tolerant) will definitely affect my sobriety. Im in a horrible catch 22. 😢 And for anyone super sensitive teeth out there I recommend hydrogen peroxide instead of toothpaste.. even the sugar in my toothpaste makes the pain so intense I can't deal with it. The hot and cold sensitivity is so bad as well. I also deal with a terrible overbite and that makes my teeth grind on each other as well. My teeth are actually in pain as we speak😢 and I'll probably be in pain by the time anyone reads this.

    My parents didnt take me to the dentist A SINGLE time. I didnt go until i was like 21. Luckily i only had to get one tooth pulled. I'm 37 now with many crowns and finally braces. I think a lot of it is you're embarrassed by even the word DENTIST if you havent gone in that long. I thought that the dentist would get upset or something because my teeth sucked. Thats a legit fear i believe to the "snowball effect" Bentist was talking about. You get more reasons to not go than to go. JUST GO! When you're kids its not your fault if you didnt get dental care. They wont treat you any different.

      It was legit fear. My parents had terrible experience with dentists in 70's - 80's, no local anaesthetic, lack of options and alloy with mercury as filling for real?
      They brought me as pre-teen to dental care first time at around 2000, because my one front tooth was cut broken by falling on ice ground. My parents learned, that the dentist technology has vastly changed. After me, my younger sibling got sent to dental care annually. Today, they have much better diagnose and a lot option to save your tooth instead of pulled out indiscriminately.

    my toddlers have to be limited on their brushing or they will brush their teeth every hour or two. I was finding it frustrating now i'm thinking it's a good thing my kids like brushing their teeth so much.
    My 20 month old uses those toothpick flosser thingies already between the few teeth he has. I use them (due to nerve damage in my hands i can't manage to use regular floss) so my kids want to use them as well.
    Should i be limiting how often they can floss too? Or are they fine to floss throughout the day as they desire?

    But never did my teeth look like this, barely calculus even but they did turn a bit yellowish thats all, wonder how that happens to someone like me that barely brushed? i guess some people just develop it more than others?
    But a year or 2 now i am keeping up with brushing, sometimes forget it a day during weekends when im away or so

    I wish someone had told me this when I was a child. My parents didn't do a great job at teaching things, but even when dentists told me I had gingivitis they never explained what it actually means in the bigger picture. For 20-25 years I really thought it only meant bleeding without any other repercussions and therefore didn't really pay attention to it 🥲 I also had no idea how big consequences even the drilling of cavities has (e.g. weakening the tooth every time). And I was 28 years old when I learned that flossing is essential (that brushing cleans only 50-60% of the plague) and not just something people do to fight bad breath. And so on...
    I have no idea why these things flew over my head, but I hate the fact that it was even possible. The basics of dental hygiene should shortly be taught in elementary school just in case.

I hope to never end up with dentures, but I have already spent 10s of thousands of dollars on dental work, and it will only continue into the future. Brush and floss - floss after every meal if you can because the food that sticks between your teeth is a huge contributor. And that's to speak nothing of the pain rotting teeth cause - sometimes felt like getting stabbed in the tooth socket with a screwdriver. Horrible. Always brush and floss, it will save you time, money and pain in your future.

    I had a permanent filling that fell out a few months ago. It’s a pretty big space in my tooth at the back. I usually use floss pick to get food out when I’m done eating. But since it’s been so long I’m scared to go to the dentist. I don’t know if it’s beyond repair or not and I really don’t want to get it pulled since I already had to pull 2 teeth about 2-3 years ago. Also, I feel like the dentist I usually go to is scamming me and leaving out a lot of information. Is it possible that after maybe 4 months that I would still be able to keep the tooth and just get it refilled? Or is it almost guaranteed there may be some sort of complication?
    Side note: I floss after most meals. I don’t always brush twice a day but I do brush at least once a day with an electric toothbrush and Sensodyne pronamel whitening toothpaste.

I procrastinated for almost a year, but that was due to finances and lack of insurance. I was stuck with a root canal and a crown (vanity, I refuse to get a tooth pulled). It was still $1800 after insurance. I waited until I got insurance at work.
