Do you brush your teeth?

Do you floss?

Do you use a mouth wash?

Do you even have any teeth?

Are you frightened of the dentist?

All these and many more questions to be answered by the lovely members of TFF.

Yeah I brush my teeth twice a day morning and night, and sometimes I use a wash, I go through toothbrushes fairly quickly because I like to brush them hard.

I only have one filing but am doomed to get more well I know that's what the dentist will say because I can feel them, especially when I eat warm liqiudy things or room temp liquid things I can't eat chocolate with liquid centers anymore and even hard chocolate I can chew it for to long because my theeth start to hurt .

[Unknown Entity]

Do you brush your teeth?
Every single day. In the morning, and before I go to bed. Sometimes I brush them again around lunch time when I'm home if I feel like they need a brushing.

Do you floss?
Not all the time, but I do every now and then. Probably once or twice a fortnight.

Do you use a mouth wash?
When we have some in, I do.

Do you even have any teeth?
No, I just suck all my food until it's mush, and then I swallow it.

Of course I have teeth.

Are you frightened of the dentist?
Not really. She's a nice lady who is pretty quick. She looks, pokes around a little bit, tells you the good and bad points, advice when it's needed, and then I can leave after filling a few things out. My last dentist visit took 25mins of my time (I woke up early, and was the first person she saw, so no wait!).

[Padraic]

Do you brush your teeth? Of course, else I wouldn't have any.

Do you floss? Nope.

Do you use a mouth wash? No... the taste is too strong

Do you even have any teeth? Yep all standing in a horseshoe formation, but I don't have an apendix

Are you frightened of the dentist?
Who in their right mind is afraid of the dentist?

[GypsyElder]

I usually brush my teeth a lot because, I hate when my mouth taste nasty or when my teeth don't feel smooth. I hardly floss because even when I try to be careful, I always end up cutting my gums, which I found out is normal from Dodie

but since I don't floss a lot, I don't think my gums will toughen up enough lol. I did floss a little yesterday and I managed to not hurt myself. I had to go really slow though.

I use Listerene often and I'm used to it now so it's not as intense.

[winterborn86]

Do you brush your teeth?
Yep, everynight, I try to remember to do it in the mornings but it's pretty hectic here in the morns, two kids to feed and get dressed, keep them entertained whilst getting myself dressed, make up on and washing up breakfast stuff, also I'm a constant eater too so as soon as my teeth are brushed in the morning I only end up eating within half an hour.

Do you floss?
Sometimes, my dentist wants me too but I hate the feeling on having thread between my teeth.

Do you use a mouth wash?
Eww no, I've tried loads of different ones and they only stay in my mouth for about 2 seconds before I'm gagging half to death on it, they all make me feel sick, quick rinse with some water will do for me.

Do you even have any teeth?
Ermm yesssssss!!!

Are you frightened of the dentist?
I used to be, I remember going for the first time in years and I was sooo scared that when I got out of the dentists chair my back was just soaked in sweat, but I'm fine with it now, until I get jabbed in the gum by the pointy scraper thing

[Josh_R]

Do you brush your teeth?

Oh definitely. Twice a day. Once in the morning, then once at night,

Do you floss?

Not as much as I should.

Do you use a mouth wash?

My mouth wash is good old peroxide. Also Put it on ur brush and brush ur teeth wit it. Trust me works wonders.

Do you even have any teeth?

I'm from Northeastern Kentucky what the f*ck do you think

Are you frightened of the dentist?

I used to be. then I realized that the ladies love the pearly whites, so I started going. I go once every two months. Routine checkup, and maybe a good old teeth cleaning.

[Priscilla]

Do you brush your teeth?
Yes. At least twice a day.

Do you floss?
Yes whenever I brush my teeth.

Do you use a mouth wash?
Yes. But it's a pain because I can't spit down the drain. The ecosystem we have here (I live in the bush) Will mess up if that gets added to it.

Do you even have any teeth?
All of them and a wisdom coming through.

Are you frightened of the dentist?
Not really. I was about my wisdom teeth. I'm scared of having to get a needle there. Not the actual dentist. I go to the dentist every couple of months for a checkup. Which I thought was normal but some people don't seem to. Anyway.. So I'm used to the dentist =].

[Dodie16]

Do you brush your teeth?

Yes. I have a pretty good habit about doing it too. I brush in the morning and at night. I also make sure that I brush gently so the enamel on my teeth doesn't get damaged.

Do you floss?

I do that about every other day, and I have to use a special kind of floss to get between the metal of my permanent retainer on my lower set of teeth.

Do you use a mouth wash?

I used to, but I don't anymore. I guess I didn't really like the burning sensation that would happen when I would swish it around, and quite frankly, I hated the way it tasted. It also made my mouth a bit dry, so I stopped using it.

Do you even have any teeth?

Yup. Mine are real too.

Are you frightened of the dentist?

YES.

I have a thing about doctors and dentists. I don't like to go see them, because I'm afraid that they're going to stick me with a needle, and I hate needles. Drills too. Just the sound of one will put me on edge. *shudders* Even if I know that I'm not getting a needle that visit, I still have that underlying fear about it. I can tolerate dentists a bit more than I can doctors, but I still hate to go.

Haha... I guess it really is silly to be afraid, but there's still that tension for me to go to one.

I do have a few fillings that are black. I wish I would have been given the option of either the white or the black though.

[Maridia]

I brush my teeth twice a day, sometimes once if a nap turns into sleep or if I wake up late for work. I'm usually good with it. And I floss a couple times a week. I got this newer Listerine that's purple it has fluoride in it too. I will say there's nothing like a clean mouth feeling.

I went to the dentist a couple weeks ago. For the first time in ohhh say 10 years. Oddly enough all I had wrong is some cavities. They said for someone who hasn't been in so long I was looking good. I get them drilled in a couple days but could be alot worse.

I used to not be so hot with the dentist. As a kid it was fun, then the last couple times i went they'd give me shit over the littlest thing. Which is something that dettered me to not get berated for a cavity. The place I go to now everyone is very cool. Probably cause they're raping my wallet, but that's gonna happen anyway, and the rates could be worse.

[Che]

It's none of your damn business what I do to my dental situation, buster!

[Asectic]

Do you brush your teeth?
Yes I do. Twice. One for the morning and the other for the night

Do you floss?
Few days per week.

Do you use a mouth wash?
Well, not really. Instead I use this machine that sends out high-speed water out from a tube and into the teeth. At first the thing gave me a few bleeds. ]:

Do you even have any teeth?
Yes I do. I'm not even in the mid-lifes yet :]

Are you frightened of the dentist?
Not that much frightened. I just really find it annoying when the guy goes in an nearly "fixes" the tooths, which tingles a lot. D:

[The Dark Crystal]

Do you brush your teeth?
I brush once after waking up, maybe again after lunch, and right when I'm about to go to sleep.

Do you floss?
I actually just started flossing a couple of weeks ago, after we had that last "Do You Floss" discussion.

Do you use a mouth wash?
I will use it every once and a while, but only if I have good amount of food stuck in my teeth. A.K.A Lays Potato Chips!

Do you even have any teeth?
Yes, they are all intact!

Are you frightened of the dentist?
I was never ever afraid of the dentist, only the doctors, or as a child I was but even today I hate getting blood drawn.

[kupo]

Do you brush your teeth?
atleast twice a day

Do you floss?
only at night before i go to bed. flossing my bottom teeth is a pain in the arse cause i have a permanent retainer on my bottom front teeth so i have to use one of those plastic thready things to thread the floss through. that retainer has caused me more problems than it has good.

Do you use a mouth wash?
in the morning before i go to work.

Do you even have any teeth?
that i do. i had 3 wisdom teeth (yep 3...not 4) removed at the end of last year...and i dont miss them one bit

Are you frightened of the dentist?
not as much as i use to be. i switched dentist back in november and she's awesome (and her daughter is in my class.) the one before her was a real jerk. if i thought about it sooner i could have sued his ass for neglect and harassment. the thing i like about my dentist now is that she's really understanding that everyone is different and that just because you have dental problems, dosen't mean you've neglected to take care of them (my problem) ive got an appt on friday to get some root scaling done. im sort of scared of that because they have to numb my mouth and i hate HATE getting shots in my mouth

[Rocky]

Do I brush my teeth?

Yeah I brush them twice a day, once right when I get up and once at night while I'm showering right before I go to bed.

Do I floss?

Yeah but I'll be the first to admit I dont as often as I should. I'll do it like during the weekdays but then I wont do it during the weekends so idk.

Do I use mouth wash?

Yeah I use a vanilla flavored listerine bottle, works wonders! I also carry those listerine strips and gum with me whenever possible, because you just never know

Do I even have teeth?

hellz yeah I do, minus the four wisdom teeth that I had out last year. I got drugged up on something that made me funny while it was going on, and the next thing I know, my mom was escorting me home because I was too busy laughing and talking about girls lol.

Are you frightened of the Dentist?

No not at all because my dentist is my mom's best friend's sister so shes like a part of the family lol. Sometimes those 45 minute checkups turn into 2 hour visits because me and the dentist talk about school and the family and how I should become a dentist and all kinds of stuff

[Clint]

Do you brush your teeth?
Sometimes, when the mood strikes.

Do you floss?
And get rid of all the plaque which naturally builds up in between teeth? Hell no!

Do you use a mouth wash?
Only if it tastes like piss. Luckily for me, all teeth-whitening mouthwash products taste like piss.

Do you even have any teeth?
I'm missing one of my front teeth, courtesy of a hockey puck to the face. Oh, how difficult it is to be Canadian. I have a prosthetic tooth in it's place. Even without that tooth, I have more teeth than most, because all four of my wisdom teeth came in straight.

Are you frightened of the dentist?
I'm afraid that he may be a warewolf. His knuckles are hairier than Robin Williams'... knuckles.

[TigermusiQ]

Do you brush your teeth?
Mornings always, night sometimes. Almost always before an event or if my mouth feels scummy.

Do you floss?
No.

Do you use a mouth wash?
Some if available.

Do you even have any teeth?
One down, a fair few to go.

Are you frightened of the dentist?
Yes, she thought I was 4 years younger than I am, nearly booking a orthadontist 'check' to see what would need doing which that alone would've cost me over £100 (Free checkup if I was the right age).

[Furore]

Do you brush your teeth?

Twice a day whenever possible.

Do you floss?

No, but I use toothpicks.

Do you use a mouth wash?

Yes. If it feels like it's burning I know it's working.

Do you even have any teeth?

Yeah, full set, but I might be losing one fairly soon.

Are you frightened of the dentist?

Normally I wouldn't be, but I might be getting a replacement in fairly soon as I had a few teeth knocked out a while back, most took, one's ****ed. On the plus side I may be able to get a silver one.

I think what I'm 'frightened' of is the inconveniance my mind imagines might come of an artificial tooth. Granted the dentist who last looked at them said the tooth would be permanently in and connected to the teeth around it, but my mind still has thoughts of teeth in a jar. :/

[Cain Highwind]

Do you brush your teeth?
Yes every night, unless I'm like really tired, or out of toothpaste or something. But like 98 percent of the time.

Do you floss?
I've been starting to, but I just haven't gotten into the habit of doing it regularly.

Do you use a mouth wash?
I used a prescription mouthwash for a while recently, and thought I'd start doing it regularly with regular over-the-counter wash.

Do you even have any teeth?
Yep all here!

Are you frightened of the dentist?


Here's the thing. My mom only took me to a Dentist a couple times when I was little. I never had any serious dental problems. And for one reason or another my Mom just never saw the need to take me. Some of it was probably the fines and charges as money was tight. But I finally went to a dentist this year after TEN YEARS. And I when I hear people complaining about the dentist I think, nah, the fear is kinda overrated. But anyway, my teeth were in surprisingly good shape they said, just a little deterioration from not having professional cleaning done, that's it.

So yeah, currently i just have teeth that are a little sensitive for small granular foods, but that's it. I'd say my only other flaw is that my teeth aren't very white.

[Maridia]

I got x rays and a cavity filled yesterday. They raped 350 out of me. I used my debit card and it was pending instantly on my bank account. Now it's as if it was never there, not even pending....so I'm gonna save myself 350 and my soul....

Ugh I know. I was charged 200 dollars for two cavities and another 100 for a Deep Cleanign procedure. After this I can't really blame my mom for wanting to skip seeing a dentist.
