CW: Hammaslääkäri, joskin positiivinen
@anulahtinen Vähän vastaava kokemus keväältä. Paikattu viisaudenhammas lohkesi alhaalta takaa. Olin vakuuttunut, että nyt tulee ensimmäinen hampaan poistoni (kaikki viisaudenhampaat tallella kaiken varalta). Luin Terveyskirjastosta, mitä sellainen tarkoittaa ja mitä riskejä siihen sisältyy, mutta ystävä-dentistejä en vielä konsultoinut, kun nolotti. Psyykkasin itseäni vastaanotolle kuin isompaankin leikkaukseen (joista tuoretta kokemusta). Olin alistunut ajatukseen, että "nyt mennään". Tutuksi tullut lääkäri tutki tapauksen ja paikkasi sen puolessa tunnissa, puudutuksen ansiosta kivuitta.
Äsken tulin saman lääkärin vuositarkastuksesta, jossa ei taaskaan ilmennyt mitään toimenpiteitä aiheuttavaa. Yhdessä vaiheessa pitkää hammas-uraani puudutusten käyttö poisti pelkoni, joka syntyi jo kansakoulussa 60-luvulla.

Was at #dentist again today for hygenist appointment, whilst waiting was sat near to a senior lady (about 75) who was unsteady on her feet.
One member of staff walked over, asked her "have you brought anyone with you?", briefly looked over at me and then sheepishly realised mistake she had made (I was just there as a patient myself!)
TBH I could understand it, minutes afterwards one of my own work colleagues appeared in the waiting room, assisting a lady of similar age (who used a wheelchair) - I wasn't even too bothered about non-malicious racial profiling but more about security aspects (a #carer should not normally be in his street clothes with 0 uniform and ID!)

Part 3:
The trip to the #ER, my landlord and long time friend had to go to the doctor which happened to be at the hospital so I was able to rideshare with her, and I walked into the emergency department, it has been a long time since I have been in any medical setting, boy things have changed, first I had to fill out this tiny half sheet of who I am and what my issue is, then to my luck it was empty and a lite day, so the nurse triaged me fairly quickly, I was babbling on about my health as she asked questions doing my vitals, I am sure I sounded like a manic nut job, but then after about 5 mins she sat me in a tiny room to wait for the doctor who within 2 mins promptly walked into the room sat down, and quickly went over what the reason for my visit, again I am sure I sounded like a babbling manic nutjob, he was nice and listened and after 4 mins said ok we are going to give you some antibiotics, something to relive the pain and the swelling and asked if they could give me the first round while I was there, of course I said yes, he said ok stepped out, and in less than 2 mins another nurse came in with my meds, my discharge papers and already called in my prescriptions to walmart, and I was out, it took longer to physically get there than it took to be seen and sent out the door, then at walmart I had to have my friend collect my meds because since I never leave home, my id is expired and they would not accept my id to get my own meds, even though my id expired was still me I had my hospital discharge papers and a wrist band from the hospital identifying me, and I was paying using my walmart app connected to my phone attached to my cc to my name, anyways between the pain, and being out in public my anxiety was through the roof and I am pretty sure I looked and sounded like a manic babbling nutjob to everyone, we got home and I had a few things to tend to then I took a short nap, and around 7 last night I got back into bed and then got up around 5:30 am this morning, the rest of my normal if you can call it that pain is still with me, but my tooth is down to a dull pain, the antibiotics and the stuff for swelling is helping, but I only have about 7 days worth, so now I have to find a dentist to still address the root problem which happens to be the root of my tooth, I need a root cannel, and I have no idea how I am going to pay for the er visit that I am getting billed for and now a dentist and root cannel, I could really use all the help and support I can get right now;
Part 2:So the pain from my tooth was so bad I had to go to the #Emergencyroom between that and the 7 days of meds I got that cost me or is somehow going to cost me $2200, that this #disabled man existing in #poverty simply does not have, not to mention I still need to find a way to afford to go to an actual #Dentist so I can get a #rootcanal and after spending time trying to find a dentist turns out that is going to cost me another $2000, I NEED HELP PEOPLE, PLEASE HELP ME NOW, I STILL NEED #FOOD TO EAT THIS MONTH, and Now I have a #Dentalemergency to contend with,
Part 1:On top of my constant pain and exhaustion I have a Cavity on inside of my Left Maxillary Lateral Incisor, that has elected to become an excruciating pain, I have not slept at all in the past 24 hours, every time I begin to doze off, bone shattering pain radiates through the entire left side of my face, as a #disabled man existing solely in #poverty and without access to any #transit or #medical care, I tried over the night to do the whole clove oil bit, after using enough to cook a Christmas ham and downing 3000mg of Tylenol, there is no relief in sight, I beg for help to get through each day and I seldomly receive enough for the extreme basics, my #health is in decline and I am in no way able to care for myself in that regard in any capacity, I am currently in enough pain to cripple a horse, and there is simply nothing I can do about it, #disability is hard enough when you have no support system but add #poverty #agging and #health issues and your pretty much in an eternal world of hell;
🛒 Today’s goal: **$5000** for a Dental Emergency and for the food I still need to obtain for this month, I have a cart full but can’t place the order.

The dentist went ok, I guess.
I had a hole where a filling had fallen out, she filled it. I have to go back in a month for a cleaning.
I liked my old dentist better. I go to the clinic at the uni, and get seen by the students. The guy I was seeing was really compassionate and caring. This student had more of a "I'm going to berate you for doing something because you're not doing everything right" vibe.
I explained how I brush every day but don't floss because it's a sensory nightmare for me, and how I can't use an electric toothbrush because I can feel it rumbling through my whole head, so I use a manual toothbrush. She said I should get an electric toothbrush and an electric waterpick to use because and brushing once a day isn't enough.
Like, I get it. But also don't humiliate people for trying their best. It's a shitty thing that makes you an arsehole and is why people don't go to the dentist regularly.

I have to go to the dentist tomorrow.
I'm phobic of dentist work, so this is going to suck.

"I think the public knows the [DENTAL] game is rigged. I just don't think they know how badly it's rigged."
Private equity-owned dental support orgs like "Aspen Dental" & "Heartland Dental" have a massive conflict of interest.

In the past, such racist views were voiced in pubs – which was bad enough. Today, such misanthropic remarks reach an audience of millions. Here in Europe too, and particularly in Germany, there are similar remarks.
Chancellor Merz, who has been in office since 2025, made headlines two years earlier with his inflammatory speech against refugees.
He claimed that asylum seekers were taking dental appointments away from Germans, even though, as a qualified lawyer, he knows that in Germany asylum seekers are only entitled to emergency treatment.

CW: Long post with dentist tips because I'm discovering all this
Hi all, since I've just discovered all this information about how to properly take care of one's teeth (had to recently go to dentist, for some reason we are not really taught this in France) I thought I would share the knowledge, if you know better, please correct me!
What should you do to take care of your teeth at any age:
- Do not drink or eat sweet things. Sugar feeds the bad bacteria which then create cavities.
- If you really have to consume things with sugar then rince your mouth with water afterwards so the sugar doesn't linger.
- Brush your teeth at least twice a day. Brushing (& flossing, see later) helps get rid of "plaque" which is a film created by the bad bacteria+ food which if left to its own will turn into tartar after 20h (?) or so.
- you need to brush all surfaces of the teeth and a little bit towards the gum
- there is no point in brushing too strongly
- it is better to use a "soft" brush
- brushing technique is very important (and the proper technique is not at all what I was trained to do) - feel free to link a good video if you known one
- it's probably easier to follow the right technique with an electric toothbrush
- brushing your teeth should be the last thing that you do with your mouth before you go to bed, and
- it is better not to rince your mouth after brushing but to just spit the toothpaste so that remaining toothpaste and fluoride stays around because it helps regenerate your enamel?!
- As for the morning, there doesn't seem to be a big difference between brushing before vs after breakfast, however, wait at least 30 min between eating and brushing, because eating creates acids which combined with brushing can erode your enamel
- brushing before breakfast helps remove the bacteria and plaque that has accumulated during the night so even if you have some bits of food after eating it has no bacteria to play with it (but, better to rince with water after breakfast anyway)
- you probably want to brush the tongue too because bacteria can accumulate there (?)
- floss is a thing! floss is actually useful to remove plaque & food debris between teeth and close to the gum. so you should do it at least once a day! (you can use interdental brushes instead, I don't think one is preferred over the other?)
- as for brushing, flossing is important, please link a good video in answer if you have one
- mouthwash? Use only if prescribed. The dentists I've talked to say that flossing is better. [Check one of the answers for more info on it (🙏)]
- Bleeding gums means you have some inflammation. If you floss regularly, your gums will eventually stop bleeding. [contributed from answers] 🙏
- If you have gum issues, a water pick is useful. [contributed from answers]
- "deep pockets" : they let bacteria attack your jawbone, and can cause tooth loss. Dentist will detect them and might suggest deep clean. do it and then you can avoid them with floss and water pick [contributed from answers]
- Bruxing / grinding your teeth? use a guard! [more info in answers]
... anything else? Please don't hesitate to discuss or add anything in comment. I'm somehow just learning about this all..
-
#Dentist -related question, if given the choice with "amalgam" fillings or "white" fillings which one is better? 🦷
I would ask a dentist but since they get more money for using the white filling they don't seem completely unbiased..

Because I had a dental checkup today, wondered where the term "murder house" came from, and had time in the waiting room, I looked it up and found this interesting article from #MOTAT.
-
My three nieces all had two or more #WisdomTeeth removed when they were in their late teens or early twenties. (I don't think my nephew needed any removed.) I belatedly join their number, having had one extracted today, the only adult tooth I've ever lost. It already had a large filling in it, and the #dentist said there wasn't enough tooth left for a bigger one.

As I had two wisdom teeth pulled I braced myself, but within minutes I realized there was no discernible drop in IQ or cognitive abilities.
