Sojourner Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 [quote name='Dudette' post='1206008' date='Feb 28 2007, 07:10 PM']Uh, I don't cheat because I brush my teeth pretty much every day, tough I don't floss everyday and yeah, they ask me every time if I'm flossing my teeth on a regular basis. Lol, However, I always brush my teeth right before I go to the dentist (even though I brushed them the night before) because that's kinda gross for the dentist to look into your mouth especially if you had lunch not too long ago....mhmmm.[/quote] yes this is what I do as well. I also have good genetics on my side ... I've never had a cavity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I'm afraid I still have problems getting myself to floss. Also, for most of my life, while I always brushed in the morning, I could never seem to get myself to do so at night. But even so, I've never had a cavity!

Maggyie Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 That was my mother's "project" when we were growing up. No cavities in her kids. She pulled it off with three out of four of us. By the time my youngest brother came around, we had made her too tired/crazed So he has one or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever you do, just please be careful not to chip or knock out any of my teeth.

I have one younger sister who might have one younger than I did (she's only 15 right now), but neither of my brothers have had any cavities and they're in their mid-twenties.

Maggyie Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 [quote]I also have reoccurring dreams of my teeth just decaying and falling apart in my mouth... it is a little frightening...[/quote] I read somewhere that teeth-falling-out dreams are very common... I have had them before. Very scary! Supposedly it means that you have been lying I think that kind of psychological dream interpretation is mostly a scam, though.

Jaime Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 brushing before going to the dentist is not cheating, its a courtesy. Cheating on your dentist is going to a secret dentist on the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thy Geekdom Come Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I went to the orthodontist once after just eating some m&m's. The assistant was a new trainee. She was clearly disgusted. I was amused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not talking about simply brushing before going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EcceNovaFacioOmni Posted March 1, 2007 Author Share Posted March 1, 2007 Not brushing, or just not giving a full effort. Never flossing, etc. If you're more of a mouthwash man than a toothbrush man, you know what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spend about 10 mins a day brushing my teeth but I still have a lot of cavaties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
