i took a few year break because the last time i went they insisted my no insurance ass should get an xray. against my better judgment i agree and that revealed that i needed a root canal even though i didn't have any symptoms. that cost me a grand. just went back recently and the lady was a bit snarky acting like i'd have all these problems. in and out with no issues.

Won some money in Vegas tonight. YE

Many analysts were concerned that the hiatus of Popeyes chicken sandwich would slow if not halt the momentum of the popular sandwich when it returned ....

FOX45 reports that the man was stabbed to death after a fight at the Oxon Hill, Maryland restaurant took place. Sources reportedly told the station the fight was about Popeyes' chicken sandwich.

They clearly overreacted.

slugsrbad has been very hurtful and rude lately.

Mine retired and I haven't been in years and I have some build up that I normally get which is gross and smells bad and I just chipped a chunk of it off the other night like it was a scab which was quite satisfying and anyway I'm going on Friday is what I'm saying.

i always get a build up behind my bottom front teeth. procured one of those scrapers the hygienists use and have been keeping it in check myself the last few years.

I've gone to the dentist twice a year, every year for as long as I can remember. I have no issues and haven't even had a cavity in about 20 years.

The latter thankfully but there was a split second where I was like oh fkk

the dentist's office is not unlike the confessional booth at church. the amount of scrutiny and guilt are truly unparalleled. how about a pat on the back for showing up once a year!

Dentists are overrated. Brush and Listerine daily. Floss if you get a hunk of meat or some popcorn stuck in there. Good to go.

It's mostly genetics. Though brushing/listerine once a day probably not gonna do enough for breath.

I just build tartar/plaque quickly though my teeth are healthy and I never get cavities. Win some ya lose some.

I had been going to this Dentist for years, and I was happy. I'd never had any problems (never even had a cavity) so I figured it was all good. But he did the cleanings and such himself--there was no hygienist. Well, he gave up his practice and Lil' Vulture needed to go (she had been complaining about her wisdom teeth) so we got a new dentist. So, yeah, I was in that chair quite awhile while I got all the tartar scraped off the old dentist had left behind.

Now, I'm not really sure how much of the shaming was necessary.

Mrs. Vulture has pretty much refused to go.

Should do it twice a day (morning and night) ya sicko!

If I'm home I'll almost always brush and Listerine after a meal.

You said daily!

actually don't feel anything today. it was just kind of an annoying feeling that wouldn't go away for 3-4 days than pain. appointment isn't until next tuesday anyway and got 48 hours until they go after my first born. probably still get shamed and guilt tripped for canceling. hopefully it will open up the schedule for someone who does have an actually emergency and doesn't have to wait a week to get in.

Y'all need to reevaluate your dental hygiene

Helping a friend clean out their parents' house, which raises the question of exactly how many gravy boats one person needs. I'm willing to bet the the number is less than six.

i guarantee my MIL has at least 12
