Root Canal Sucks

[Mr I]

Smell that floss when you're done. You'll understand why it's necessary.

just done it and tossed it, I'll say one thing, once flossed the mouthwash can potentially work better and I'll do anything to avoid root canal again!

Did you have to wait a few weeks to get into the dentist office with the good ol British NHS?

[Mr I]

Did you have to wait a few weeks to get into the dentist office with the good ol British NHS?

No because we also have lots of 24 hr emergency dental outposts usually in hospitals, when the pain was real bad on a saturday I simply called a number and thye told me where the nearest was, went there paid only £17.50 and they drilled through, opened it up, relieved the pressure and did a partial clean out and temporary recap, told me to wait a couple weeks before going back to my regular dentist but that took care of the pressure pain initially, good shit. Bro the NHS is not perfect but on the basis its free they never let me down yet

why did you wait so long? no way that pain just suddenly came out of the blue.

pain came on and off wednesday thursday quite light, went to get regular dentist appointment, they said unless emergency about a week away was the earliest. I say ok not knowing how its going to go, saturday lunchtime, big pain, so it was either saturday or sunday and go to the dental walk in ward in hospital

Flossing is just as important as brushing.

:agreed:


After every meal.

After every meal.

I eat 5-6 times a day, you think real people with ambition have time for that:weights:

I eat about the same...Well people with real ambition get somewhere in life...You just so happen to get to the dentist:) Flossing does not take much time at all.

Hope it gets better for you.

i don't floss every meal but definitely at least before bed!

:rofl:

I just can't imagine eating my two meals at my desk at work then flossing after, and flossing in between every tooth after each meal, its one of those ideals that if you put them all together you would have time for nothing else.

I think I'll chew gum more, not only does it tend to pull and foodstuffs from out within your teeth but also neutralises acidity levels after eating.:thumup:

Every meal. I carry one in my car, my gym bag, office, etc...Just like my water...I carry water just about everywhere I am at.

I also use a tongue scraper, ever use one of those? Best thing ever.....

i chew gum all day and when i floss at night i still pull chunks of shut out.

floss at least once per day bro. no escaping it.

Oh yeah I have one, crucial for fresh breath, much better than just brushing the toungue

People don't realize that half of your bad breath or taste is within the tongue. I always scrape that fucker. This may sound weird; but I always floss, brush and scrape tongue before a meal.

So you might ask; are you doing that 5-6 times a day? Hell no...But for sure 3 times....I get about a good 4 meals in.

floss not just for oral hygiene, but believe it or not; the plaque found in between teeth can slowly trickle down into the stomach and it disperses into the body just like eating lard off a steak. It adds up over time. Oral hygiene plays a role in our general well being.
