Some dude's wet dick in there

Shitloads of sugar

I'm actually a dentist no lie. Are those a pic of your actual teeth?

more meth?

Yes

Jesus man, what a train wreck for real. I would never say that to you if you were my patient face-to-face but I'm gonna be honest with you here. Do you even know what a tooth brush looks like? Do you need me to attach an image of one so you know what to look for?

In terms of restoring things, nothing I would do would last more than a fucking year with your hygiene and/or drug habits, seriously. If you got your shit together and proved you could maintain something, you're looking at losing what's left of those front teeth, needing several root canals, build-ups, and crowns/bridges/implants. Your case is a $15,000-$30,000 case if you don't want total garbage work. Otherwise, you can have dentures and/or partials like a pleb.

*yeth

How much for dentures or partials? Yes I have rarely brushed. I do not use drugs.

Should I start brushing? Also what do I do about a toothache?

>Should I start brushing?

does brushing 5 times a day cause more harm than do gud?

>should I start brushing

Are you actually serious? Toothache means the decay in your teeth has reached the pulp i.e. you'll need a root canal and a crown if you're lucky ($3000) and an extraction otherwise. And stop fucking asking about how much this shit is gonna cost if I told you that you were about to lose an arm would you ask me how much it would cost to replace it or would you do anything in your power to make it happen? You are about to lose the ability to smile, eat, speak properly, and present yourself as a human in public. Treat it as though your life is on the line and find a way to make it happen. Budget $15-30k no joke and find someone who isn't a piece of shit medicare medicaid dentist (look for a fancy office and make sure they don't accept shitty government insurance or your work will suck ass). Brush and floss 3x daily and use mouth rinse in between if you want to preserve the investment you're about to make in rebuilding your mouth. People like you piss me off so much you make my job hard as shit.

6 grand to clean up. Roughly2k for scaling and polishing. Roughly 2k for basic fillings and root canals. Roughly 2k for extraction of unrecoverable teeth (looks like many). 15k+ for decent implants for now missing teeth, So all-in, I'd say your close to 20k for decent work, 30k for good work that will last you a lifetime... if you're willing to keep them up. Because as said, if you're not even excellent work will only last so long.

You could have spent $600 all-in on tooth paste, tooth brushes floss, and a water pik over the last decade and never had this problem.


Preventative care (see basic regular maintenance) is the best medicine.

Excessive abrasion and wear-and-tear can have detrimental effects for sure. Aim for 2-3x and floss for god's sake. Use rinses in between if you wanna freshen up. No need to brush 5x

Okay so what if I start brushing but don't visit a dentist?

Preach

just fucking go to mexico and get it there

$15,000 OR $30,000
How stupid of a Dentist do you have to be to not know if something is 15k or 30k HUR DURR

Then you will not know with any certainty if you have tooth decay until the inevitable day you show up at my office with a toothache and I give you the bad news that what would have been a simple and inexpensive filling two years ago has not become a crown and root canal situation which will cost you $3000. Still sure you don't wanna visit the dentist?

More crack...?

You'd shit your pants if you knew what kind of work was being done in mexico to unsuspecting "dental tourists" (see: cheapskates pinching pennies without doing their homework)

Not the dentist but obviously he can't tell exactly what the man needs from a simple picture HUR DURR

Depends on a million factors. I can't tell how much work he will need off a couple shitty cell photos and no radiographs. Also, you have to take into account insurance rates, location, etc. Hur durr go back to posting in tranny threads

Lost.

Sad thing is, this situation is salvageable if you'd pull your head out of your ass. In a couple years it won't be.

So schedule a dentist appointment?

If you do your research carefully you can get the work you need done in Mexico or Costa Rica, and save lots of money. I don't know any decent practitioners down there to recommend, though.

b8

I obviously don't give a shit where you get your work done from a financial perspective because I'd never give out my identity on here. That being said, my best friend is also a dentist and one of my favorite things is sending him pictures and xrays of dental work done in foreign countries (western europe excluded). For the most part, it is god awful and actually kinda sad that people pay money for it and have no recourse when I tell them it is all failing. It's the epitome of penny wise and pound foolish.

The Psoriasis around your mouth and under your facial hair is exacerbated by a diet high in carbohydrates/sugar. No doubt your teeth have suffered, but the psoriasis is also a symptom of your diet.

Learn how to cook for yourself. Cut your carbs down to 50g or less a day. You'll lose weight, and your psoriasis will improve. To finish it off, buy some tea tree oil of "bio-oil". Exfoliate in the shower thoroughly, then after the shower work in a small amount of the oil on to your face. It will take about 12 weeks, but your skin should improve dramatically. The teeth, however, see and and

I am about 75% less damage than OP but I still think its pretty bad, I just got dental insurance through my job and I better get off my ass because I really don't want to end up like OP

With the commoditization of medicine, the public has the misconception that all practitioners are providing the same services as long as they are called the same thing. For example, a "crown". "Oh, Dr. X did my crown for $500 and yours cost $1200? You got ripped off!" In reality, dentistry is more like a house. You can pay almost nothing for a mud hut in a shithole country or you can pay handsomely for an architecturally beautiful and well-built home in the US. One costs much more than the other but are both called "homes".

Haha so much this. Wanna know what they call someone who got a C in medical or dental school?.....

....
...

Doctor.

And yea. Western Europe is fine. Canada is fine. Probably Australia and New Zealand are okay too. Anywhere else? Good fucking luck.

Yep

What u get with that 1000$ depends where you live, i assume that you are from America so best options could be:
- shitload of drugs so you just forget and stop caring about how you Look
- new clothes, razorblade, shaving foam so you have better changes to get a job that has free dental care as employee Benedict
- bribe some dentist students to use you as guinea-pig
- Sell all your shit, move to Finland so you can get new teeth for ~100-300€ (that's less than 500$)

How do you identify between the two types of dentists BEFORE you get the work done?

Yes I drink a lot of pop and eat a lot of potato chips and processed foods. What are some basic foods I could cook? Not recipes just names. Or what eose should I avoid.

And of course, buy dental floss, toothpaste and fucking toothbrush

in belgium we'd redo everything from k9 to k9 for that, and possibly even bleach it as long as you have gone on checkups twice a year for 5 years.

Government subsidized healthcare ect.

LOOOOOL

Probably the best indicators are
a) In a first world country with actual healthcare standards and ethics
b) Does NOT accept government agency or HMO insurance (these insurances pay dentists less than their time and supplies cost them so their profitability is near zero resulting in them not being able to spend any quality time planning or executing a complicated case like the OP).
c) Look for examples of their work online and reviews from existing or past patients, word-of-mouth referrals, etc.

So the dental insurance I pay for through my job is worthless?

Honestly. I got started with a slow cooker and some basic recipes. I'd prepare the ingredients (usually about 30 min to trim some chicken thighs, chop some veggies, and add the sauce), then put them in the slow cooker before work. When I got home I'd have something really tasty, tender, and nutritious that I could eat off of for a couple of days. It was also a great way to save money. Ended up spending like $60 a week on groceries. Some on-sale beef, some on-sale chicken thighs. Some veggies and sauces, Cook them up over the next 2 days, and have a weeks worth of meals. Yeah, it can get a little boring, but there are a shit ton of slow cooker recipes that are fucking delicious.

Flossing makes my gums bleed to much.

Totally depends on how badly your employer deep-dicked you with your dental "insurance" plan. Here's a little insider knowledge for you that might be helpful: Dental insurance does not exist. Dental insurance is the literal opposite of healthcare insurance. It is more like a discount plan. They will "cover" basic things like cleanings and exams at a certain percentage but if you need any type of substantial work, it's pretty much all on you as their annual maximums basically haven't changed since the 60s. Bottom line is, forget your dental insurance because it's mostly worthless. Find an actual dentist you like who you know does quality dental work and pay out of pocket for it. The best way to save money is to brush, floss, and wear a nightguard to prevent attrition and wear from bruxism and you'll probably be ok long-term.

This means you're not flossing enough and probably have gingivitis/periodontitis. Floss twice a day for two weeks and see if the bleeding stops (it likely will which is a sign of improved gingival health).

Also this is kind of embarassing but how much is my nighttime pacifier use messing up my teeth?

B8. Or retarded

This could be harsh, but you could even die from that kind of shitmouth.
Mouths health is effecting to your whole body, with that kind of damage you could be at risk getting infection that leads hearth problems such as blood poisoning, hearth problems or bacteria getting on your brain.
Go visit dentist and try to get some preventive care for the worst parts before anything more serious happens.
And for gods sake start brushing already.

What would it cost if I said, fuck it, and had all my teeth replaced with implants?

How can I prevent sprankton?

Yes I drink a baby bottle sometimes and a pacifier sometimes..

I appreciate the advice, right now I only pay about $20 a month for dental insurance but I guess I have some research to do. One last question, what do you think of those large chain like corporation dentists office, likely better than average or likely worse?

Any time a patient asks this question I always laugh internally. If only you knew what a long, expensive, and unpredictable process this was not to mention the fact that implants are not a 1:1 replacement for natural teeth (nothing is). Do yourself a goddamn favor and spend 5 less minutes per day cranking your cock on Sup Forums and brush a little.

That's hot, tell me more

I can get it down to 3 minutes per day that's the best offer I can give.

~500-1000/implant+works+other stuff, so on murica prices that's would be something between 70 000 - 200 000

There's a reason dental insurance is $20 a month (like I said, it's somewhat worthless). As far as chains go, things are changing rapidly in the world of corporate dentistry but historically and by reputation, chains have been known to provide less individualized and meticulous care than most private practice dentists (this especially applies to some of the shit-tier chains like Aspen). Find a nice, family-run dental practice with a dentist in his prime (mid 30s to mid 50s) that looks like it's well looked-after and the dentist seems to care a lot about what he does. It's much like trying to find a good auto mechanic shop except the stakes are way higher.

i'm 22 and my teeth are destroyed

shit is shitt

And it's something that you might have to redo at some point because implants are weaker than real teeth

I have anxiety and it calms me down.

Thanks for the advise, good luck to OP he has a far worse journey than myself and I feel better prepared for what i'm getting into.

To the dentists here: what would you do if a patient literally changed their first name to Gingivitis?

I'm not a dentist but it depends what his last name is and you have one minute to come up with it

Just kill yourself. You not only don't brush your teeth, I don't think you even bathe. The crust on your face is absolutely disgusting. I see homeless people on the regular that are more hygienic than you. Truly vile.

I'd ask him how it feels to be an African-American oppressed by all of us whites.

I have seborrheic dermatitis.
I bathe.

As razor to shave the fucking mess on his face wouldn't hurt either

I mean, your receptionist is taking their name down and they say Gingivitis, and even present ID in that name.

Do you have AIDS?

So I am 30 years old:

>brush maybe once a month
>floss maybe every 3 months
>first 25 years of my life have horrible diet
>never smoke or do drugs
>visit dentist twice a year my whole life

I am convinced teeth like OP come from drugs or something, because I barely take care of my teeth and I have perfect white teeth with only 3 cavities in my whole life. Or are those two dentist visit a year saving me?

You're either lying or you have good genes

More meth

Some people have naturally strong teeth, bright white doesn't always mean good quality. Strongest teeth are usually little yellowish.
Op clearly has no clue how to take care of gos teeth, better get to know these things before he loses all his chewing tools.

Mexican dentis student her, it check out.

No need to lie. My dad has a lot of root canals and shit but nothing even close to OP.

>seborrheic dermatitis
I had that shit too. Did you actually get diagnosed by a doctor? Did you actually use the cream they would have prescribed? Do you not actually wash your fucking face?
>I bathe.
once a month?

OP do you seriously plan on fixing this and your obvious disaster of a life or will you just continue to decay in front of the world?

Fuck this thread scares me. My top row of teeth are fucked. I had to get a shit ton of fillings because I never brushed as a kid and ate too much sugar. Then the fillings in the top row fell out over time, leaving holes in my teeth that have only gotten worse, one of my teeth even broke off at the gum line.
The bottom row of teeth are still fine, nothing happened to them. I've never done drugs or anything like that, just took awful care of my teeth. I brush regularly now and floss occasionally, but I'm, afraid I let them go for too long. I have no insurance and don't make much money, I feel like I'm just fucked here. One tooth bleeds every time I brush now, too. I don't know what the fuck to do.

Yes I want to fix my issues.

Please do as I plan on fixing my teeth as well.

I'm not using steroids on my face.

Nah I don't wash my face very often don't want to dry it out

I'm gay!

Faggot

How hard is it to just brush your teeth once a day? Fuck, it only takes two minutes. How could someone let their teeth deteriorate that badly?
