Do you have any cavities?

Post Reply New Topic

I didn't vote because there's no "more than 6" option. I have had about half my teeth filled and some of those crowned or refilled in recent years because amalgam fillings break down. I didn't used to take good care of my teeth (I do now to try and avoid anymore dental work!!) but my siblings don't take care of theirs and they have no cavities!! I don't get it.

I thought you were meant to floss first, then brush. That's how I do it. Mouthwash is great, I should buy some more and use it every night. I seem prone to issues, even though I used to brush morning and night before I started lapsing recently.

I've had cavities. OTL;;; Not as many as SOME people I know, but still too many.;;;
But it's not my fault!
...Well, yes it is. XD;; But my back teeth have these grooves on the sides that were really hard to brush, but the dentist filled them in along with the cavities. Now my teeth feel like IRON. I CAN EAT ANYTHING! *gnash*

I drink too much sugary stuff is the problem. D: But I floss more now since I got one of those floss-on-a-stick things, so I don't think I'll be getting more cavities for a long time.

Not currently but I do have two fillings.

I have in my distant past (more than 10 years ago, at least). The number of them, I haven't a clue.

I now take excellent care of my teeth. Brush / floss / brush again / flouride rinse, before going to bed. If toothpaste hurts your roots, try some Tom's of Maine brand.

My father apparently wasn't so careful, for he's had to have all of his teeth removed. Very creepy to see someone smile if they don't have any teeth, and his food options are quite limited.

Typ3 suggested brushing in the shower. That's where I use to brush them and yes, it's a great way to take up the practice again.

Better start taking care of your teeth, fellow aspergians, lest you begin to resemble this guy:

Something cool to add:

The right side of my face is numb due to "surgery" from having a wisdom tooth removed (nerve damage). Said it was a 99% chance of not happening; it happened.

I had a couple when I was younger. It took me quite a while to learn how to brush my teeth properly, so I've had a couple of cavities that needed to be filled. The problem is that my teeth are pretty weak, so I'm always going to be prone to problems ><

I have loads of fillings I blame the quack dentist who my mother took to as a child for wrecking my teeth.

Diagnosed under the DSM5 rules with autism spectrum disorder, under DSM4 psychologist said would have been AS (299.80) but I suspect that I am somewhere between 299.80 and 299.00 (Autism) under DSM4.

Having imperfect teeth (crooked or even a couple missing) is still better than no teeth at all. In the two photos in which the guy has bangs that fall below his eyes, all of his teeth are gone. That first one is a good example of what your jaw does when it no longer has teeth. Having no teeth even makes it challenging to anunciate speech, because the tongue no longer feels the resistance that was once there.

Never had a cavity, I put it down to an excess of coca cola killing everything in my mouth.
