brush your damn teeth.....

i just got back from having surgery to remove all of my bottom teeth, had the tops removed back three years ago...

why you might ask i have no teeth in my mouth, well ever since i was little my grandmother, who raised me, taught me i didn't need to brush my teeth, so of course, i grew up thinking i didn't need to, until it was too late that is...

so no matter how lazy you get, or if you wind up in my situation thinking it wont' hurt anything to not brush [i honestly thought brushing was just for bad breath, and i didn't care about my breath] think again.

keep those teeth healthy and brushed, and if you have problems with your teeth, don't put off the dentist, a fixable tooth can turn into a big problem pretty quickly. so if you know you got a problem, do everything in your power to get it taken care of asap, because trust me you do not want to be in my situation.

If you don't mind sharing, how old are you?

21, i was gonna say that but i forgot lol. 21 years old and can already give my wife 'gummers'.... kinda makes me sad, makes me feel like a freak actually and like i can feel people staring at me and making fun.

do you sport denchers, or a grill perhaps?

Just wear some denchers? Damn, you're scaring me, I'm gonna go brush right now! I definitely forget sometime or am too busy, but I will make time from now on. I was always under the impression you were older, how long you been married? I'll be 21 next summer, and I def don't want to get married for like 10 years lol, but hey, if 'the one' comes along, then I guess you can't pass it up. If it was recent, congrats.

Damn that sucks man. Good luck with everything.

been married 3 years now, and i've had top dentures for awhile, and i will be getting ones for the bottom, but just for your gums to heal so you can get a proper mold made it takes 3+ months, but since i'm doing this all through the goldcard [pays for medical expenses, it's not insurance or medicaide but ti's similar] i have to get put on a waiting list, so the earliest i'll have a full set of teeth again will be 6 months from now.

btw, i met my wife when i was 14, we got together when i was 15, split up when i was 16, then when i was 18 we got back together and got married, just about a year later we had a baby boy. if you value your lifespan, do not have any kids, because once you do, for some reason years pass by like months and months pass by like days.

Wow thats fucked up, your life seems like a wreck man. I guess I should appreciate my situation and just pray that things get better for you :(.

meh i'm a soldier, alot of bad shit does happen to me and my wife, but the one thing i've learned in my years, is not to let your head drop, and don't give up no matter how hopeless things seem.

at 49 I managed to save a little over half of my teeth,miracle cause I did not start brushing for real till I was 16,,,I was rebellious...

Funny cause my Grandma "rest in peace" was like the brush your teeth Nazi and when I stayed at her house she stood at the bathroom door and watch me brush,while she cursed my Mother in her Ukrainian dialect LOLz,,,I did not know a word she was saying but I knew what she meant...

My childhood was a tough one,but I remember an elementary school nurse saying to me,,, and I quote "You will have no teeth by time you are 18 if you don't start taking care of them"... heh,,,I knew more than her at the time...
