Taking care of teeth.

Again, flossed but didn't brush last night.

when will the renovation be done? @splitimage?

splitimage · Jan 29, 2024 at 10:07 AM

Thanks for asking @Tart Cherry Jam. The renovation is almost complete, it's at least at the point now where we can use the bathroom which is a huge bonus.

I think part of my problem with trying to brush at night is being so tired from working to midnight, so I'm going to see how I make out with trying to brush right after lunch. I'm starting another tiny habits 5 day program to support that.

Can you wait 30 mins after lunch or is it not feasible?

Congratulations on the progress with reno!

@Tart Cherry Jam, yes I can wait 30 min. after lunch, but I don't understand why, could you explain? Thanks.

Brushed and flossed yesterday.

If you eat acidic foods such as tomatoes and brush immediately, it may damage the tooth enamel.

My left side teeth, all of them, are very sense to cold and painful in general. I’m going to the dentist on Monday. My wife said it’s my sinus infection causing this.

In my twenties I had this problem when sinuses caused tooth ache immediately below the sinuses.

hello i had all my teeth removed last year but it is still hard to deal with because i rely on dentures and have to use and clean with denture cream. i do love the look it gave me because i had periodontal desease and my teeth were falling out! it took a year for the dentist to get them all out and now i feel great!!!

Congratulations! Your dentures must be uniform and symmetrical, right?

splitimage · Feb 05, 2024 at 10:36 AM

@avlady, Glad you're happy with your dentures.

Just got done with dentist, a root canal is in my future. Not surprised based on the pain.

@rjdb sorry you need a root canal. I'm scared I might need one.

Better day yesterday, flossed and brushed.
