@MaleGoddess @beardalaxy i did this and ended up having to pay 10 grand out of pocket for fillings and other misc dental work. 4 grand after that for root canal, also out of pocket

@graf @MaleGoddess @beardalaxy Floss your teeth and brush immediately after eating. You will save a lot of money on dentist bills.

@morgthorak @MaleGoddess @beardalaxy thats easy if you are at home all the time. i was traveling and otherwise not home or near a place i'd be brushing my teeth for many years

@graf @MaleGoddess @morgthorak they have recommended me to get a waterpik before, they're actually way cheaper than I thought. Haven't got one but it seems very convenient.

Also just chewing sugar free gum after meals can be good too. I try to do either that or brush with water real quick.

A lot of people sleep on flossing. Nearly all of my cavities started in between my teeth. It's important stuff, especially if you don't want to pay out the ass for it. Hindsight is 20/20 though :)

@beardalaxy @graf @MaleGoddess Keep a couple of packs of floss in your car for when you eat out. You can also buy those little disposable tooth brushes.

@graf @MaleGoddess @beardalaxy You can keep floss and disposable tooth brushes in your car, graf. They will be right there when you need them, wherever you are.

@graf @MaleGoddess @beardalaxy Same experience but I have a cracked wisdom tooth only with a exposed nerve for a year now that's roots fused with my jaw bone so it's surgery to get it removed so I just have been praying for it to fall out of my head

@graf @beardalaxy

Wait a second, I thought Canadians got free health care? Free infinity abortions, free everything.

@MaleGoddess @beardalaxy yeah dental isnt covered neither is vision. just health. but if i have the sniffles i can go into the hospital and wait 9 hours for a bandaid :)

@MaleGoddess @graf @beardalaxy Free medically assisted dying, but they make you pay for dental. What a scam.

@InceptionState @MaleGoddess @graf @beardalaxy Not only that but dental care in some places of Canada is actually the most expensive in the whole world

@MaleGoddess I go to a dental school and have been for a while to slowly but surely get my teeth fix, because they were fucked. It's extremely cheap, so the scam is less about getting money from you and more about getting experience for the students.

Now I take much better care of my teeth, I'm basically going in for an exam, a cleaning, getting my one last tooth fixed, then I'll be good for a bit unless I have another tooth chip.
