How white are your teeth?

[blackshadow]

As we all know,smoking makes a mess in your mouth. Coating your teeth in brown crud and whatnot. I finally got that all cleaned off. Hoping they will remain clean,now that i'm vaping. I'm concerned that coffee may make them dirty again.....it seems coffee is almost as bad as smoking as far as teeth stains go. Might start using Crest 3D white strips,since my dentist said they're okay to use. What are you folks doing to keep your teeth white?

I use Crest whitestrips.. they do an amazing job.. plus my hygienist said they've got good stuff in them for your gums
i also floss daily but that helps more with cavities than stains IMO..

Gorgeous now, got dentures last spring so, all the nic stains are gone forever. (Snap ins so I do brush daily and pop them out to soak once a week.)

Coffee stains teeth tremendously.

So glad I never picked up that habit.

As far as flossing goes, only floss the ones you want to keep.

The most important time to floss and brush is just before bed.

Brush with whitening paste and regular cleanings.

Same here. Got my full upper and partial lower about a year ago. It sucks getting dentures at 26, but no more broken, disintegrating, stained teeth and I get compliments all the time for having nice teeth

I heard whitening material wears down the enamal because of the grit. Back n 'nam they used to give 'em the grittiest stuff to fuse the teeth together 'cause of bacteria in the jungle. Ya can tell a vet by their teeth

Are you going under the knife so to speak? As in, oral surgery in a hospital? If so, easy breezy.

Going to the oral surgeon. Going to get 28 teeth pulled. Then immediate dentures..

Gimmie the date and I'll say a prayer for you, brother. I asked about the hospital only because if this procedure is treated as an operation, in other words, full blown anesthesiologist, IV's, pre-op physicals, etc.. then the only thing you'll remember is the dry sense of humor your oral surgeon demonstrates before you drift off, like saying to you, "Count down from 10 and let us know when you're unconscious"

Not sure of the exact date yet. Ill let ya know. Its not going to be done in the hospital, just at the oral surgeon. No anesthesiologist, but I will be under local anesthesia. Thanks for the support.

Going to get 28 teeth pulled.

My asscheeks just clenched the chair tenaciously. And, I think I "shrunk" just a bit.

 

[tiburonfirst]

knowing you, bear, i'd bet my last penny you 'shrunk' substantially!

To the OP.......the Listerine brand....."whitening" pre-brush rinse. It seems expensive, but not if you only use the recommended couple of tablespoons, not a mouthful. Contrary to what they recommend (pre-brush rinse) I use it after I have brushed. Use it at night before you go to bed. My teeth are blinding and I drink coffee every morning as well as red wine quite often.

Being a Nam vet (Da Nang, RVN, '67-'68), I challenge/dare you to give a verifiable source for your claim!!! Don't mean to make this personal, BUT you will sure pizz me off if you don't provide substantive info!!!

In fact, I'll compare my 66.5 y.o. 'vet' teeth x-rays up against yours any day! Sorry dude/dudette, but ya went waaaay over my 'red line'...

Hoping they will remain clean,now that i'm vaping.

Within my first six months of vaping, my dentist and oral tech were amazed with the improvements of my oral health. In fact, my last visit, I spent 20 minutes in da waiting room and only 15 to have my teeth cleaned and examined!

BTW, I drink 'bout three or four mugs a day. Don't worry, you're well on your way to a healthier dental condition!

My high school gym teacher told us, Iffy.

Whaaa...was that last semester?!?!? He/she didn't show his/her fused teeth? Did your gym teacher also tell ya that 'pat' is only a verb and ya took both as truth?
