Is dental hygiene important to you?
 

Do you visit the dentist every six months for a clean and check-up? Do you look down on people who might have bad breath or missing teeth? Do you floss and use mouthwash or is giving your teeth a rub wish a brush enough for you?

..I'm quite OCD about it and yeah, I go for regular check ups...

I don't really pay attention to other people's teeth but with my own I'm quite meticulous about them. I'm one of those people who looks after their teeth well but always ends up having to have fillings or toothache or something anyway!

:shocked: I've never had a filling in my life and I wasn't always so good to look after my own teeth, when I was a kid I wasn't really encouraged to brush them twice a day, as soon as I realised it was important I started looking after them though.

I've ALWAYS brushed twice a day, I floss, use mouthwash when needed etc...

I've had over 10 fillings and 4 teeth out!! Weird isn't it. My dentist said that some people are just unlucky with their teeth, my Mum's the same.

Aww. :( Well I wish you luck with all of the teeth that you have left!

...yeah, I'm exactly the same Jonnii and it really sucks that you have still had to have fillings but I know it's also down to the density of your enamel and if it's thinner, then you can still have problems...it's a bit unfair, really....




..oh and it's nice to see you back posting, maybe you'll post some of your incredible artwork again sometime....

Haha they're mostly all there bar a couple, just quite filled in! This time next year I might be on my first tube of Fixodent HA :P

Wow thanks for remembering me! I'm still doing some art, I have a Facebook page if you'd like to see?

Sorry for going off topic!

..oh, thank you, I couldn't forget sketch work like yours, I've had a quick glance and I'll have a proper look at them now...and it's kind of on topic because most of your subjects have good teeth..well, maybe the dogs not so much....but thanks for that, Jonnii....

It's fine, maybe there's teeth in some of your drawings. :joker:
I liked your page btw.

Thanks very much both! So kind.

I didn't used to care when I was younger until one trip to the dentist when I was told that I needed to have a filling, but it was on one of my baby teeth which would soon fall out anyway so the dentist didn't bother. That terrified me because in the waiting room you can always hear loads of scary noises like the drill that they use and the thought of that drill going anywhere near my mouth horrified me so I've made sure to take good care of my teeth since. :p

It's the first thing I notice in a guy I fancy :laugh: and I got meticulous about my own teeth when I started wearing braces and I wore them for 4 years :idc:

:joker: The noise of the drill really bothered me too when I was a bit younger, I would have anything done at this stage to keep my teeth in good condition though.

I'm not that bothered about my dental hygiene because there fine anyway

I guess
Brush my teeth twice a day and have been wearing braces for 3 years (my teeth weren't awful or anything it's just that I've missed so many appointments and there's like a 2-3 month gap between each one. Plus I keep breaking them)

Yes. Why wouldn't you care about your teeth lol
