brush your damn teeth.....

I think I might of missed it reading thru, but does this mean you cant smoke for a while? being the whole mouth and healing process?

every time i see one of my mates i'm reminded to brush my teeth regularly and thoroughly.... he only has 2 of his own natural teeth left, the rest are false, and he's only 28!

i'm not supposed to drink or smoke, first thing i did when i got outta the hospital was light up a cigarette, and as soon as i got home i grabbed me a beer, they gave me vicodin, but damn this stuff hurts so bad the only thing i can do is maintain a nice level of buzz-drunkness to keep the pain to a minimum.....

would you believe if it i told you that just the act of moving my mouth to swallow things whole [vegetables, meats and noodles in soup] is excrutiating pain....

i'm glad it's over too birdgirl, i know it was only on my teeth but the closer it got, the more nervous i got, and when they wheeled me away from my wife and to the operating room, i started to get scared shitless, i almost told them to turn me around because i can't do this, i just kept thinking what if i don't wake up and can't see my snookums no more.... and ever since i woke up i've been 'all over her' hurts like hell to even chickenpeck her, but i can't stop doing it 10 times in 5 minutes....

i wish i had weed, i knew i shoulda saved some, but noooo i didn't i =/

aww you are so sweet. Makes me miss my boyfriend...

I know you can get replica teath, but thats probably very expenisve. You never know what you have till its gone...

If all my teeth fell out, I'd get some funky self cleaning or non-cleaning ones put in that could chew through steel or something. And no more toothpaste, just stick the teeth in the dishwasher at night and shiny fresh clean teeth in the morning :-)

If I lose my hair, I will be happy that I don't need to go for haircuts anymore or spend money on shampoo. :-)

On the other hand if my hair lasts for my lifetime or till I'm old and wrinkly, then I'll smile at myself in the mirror and thank my granpa's genes.

I guess the point I'm trying to make is "convert" the negative event into a positive opportunity. Easier said than done, and I empathise with your loss, but you gotta try it.

All the best!

lol i've already done that, i'm sad because i don't have my own teeth and dentures are a real pain in the ass, just ask anyone who has them, but i'm happy because they can no longer hurt me, and i don't have to worry anymore about if i'm taking good care of my teeth, not to mention i won't have the sensitivity i had even when my teeth were just short of perfect.

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.

My teeth could have been worse, but they still are terrible because I to hated brushing, and copious amounts of pop didn't help either

Slip, Sorry to hear. Hang in there man.
