Dammit, now wish I hadn't read that... I hate being too aware of something...zeldakong64 said:
I'm pretty lucky to have healthy teeth, I've only had one tiny cavity and that's it. I brush twice a day. I also have the tendency to chew a lot of gum, but I'm not sure how healthy it is for the teeth...
I take my time brushing them while under the shower, taking about 10 minutes or so to thoroughly brush each cavity. Only once a day though, and I don't floss. My teeth could be a bit whiter, but they are in good shape I suppose.
Though it would be wicked if we could have shark teeth! Steven Tyler would look surprisingly like a great white if he showed his teeth

I think that the diet we have now is what causing our teeth to decay. In the early days, we didn't consume so much sugar and other bad stuff for our teeth, and hence they maintained in a reasonable condition. That or we maintained our teeth in a different way then today, chewing on something to keep them in shape, a bit like dogs do with branches and bones and the like.ThaBenMan said:

Its also the reason I can't get rid of my video as I have all the 'Trap Door' on tape as well as Henry's Cat, Button Moon, Danger Mouse and Inspecter Gadget.
EDIT: What can I say... I went through a phase of Magic Mushrooms and those vids sure amused me and my friends ahh the good ol days of Uni!
I brush twice a day but rarely floss >_>
My parents refer to my teeth as the 10,000 dollar mouth because I've had dental problems
My front teeth and the ones next to them had second teeth growing behind them that were fused to the ones in front, in order to get braces (which I desperately needed as my teeth looked almost like swung inward saloon doors) they had to file these teeth down (apparently this is pretty rare as my dentist put me in some dental magazine and took like a million pictures of my teeth >_>.) In the process they hit a root which caused an abscess which was one of the most painful things ever to happen to me.
This called for an emergency root canal. Upon opening my mouth up they discovered I suffered from a phenomenon known as "onion roots" (on my front teeth only) meaning each tooth had a series of roots rather than just one. Hoping to save my teeth they removed only one layer of roots (both sides, since afraid of causing another abscess.) I had an adverse reaction to the Novocaine and half my face swelled up.
So five years of braces later (from aged 10 to fifteen) one of my front teeth turns gray. So much for saving the teeth. Now its five root canals later (on each tooth, getting rid of all the roots, although they did it all in two visits) and I have porcelain front teeth (funny story about them, though. The day I got mine another shipment of false teeth was hijacked. That's right, some guy stole hundreds of front teeth.)
Anyway, that's the story. I have had one other root canal as I split a tooth down the middle from chewing on a pen cap.

My sister went to the dentist today, because one of her molars was aching, and they said they're gonna have to pull it :/ She's 26... it sucks, she's pretty upset about it.
I'm sorry to hear about all you've been through, EvilDuck! That sounds like quite the ordeal.

Have you ever thought about just having them all out? Less hassle!
I brush twice a day, usually I'll use a mouth wash between brushing if I get some nasty taste in my mouth. I don't go to the dentist as much as recommended because I can't afford it right now being a full time college student with a part time job that covers food, rent, and the gas it takes to get to work.
IMO, toothpaste is one of the most disgusting substances on the planet. As a result, I usually only brush in the morning before leaving the house.
But on the flip side, I do floss every day and rinse with Listerine, but the Listerine is mostly to get the taste of toothpaste out of my mouth.
Lucky for me I have naturally good teeth. I have only gotten a few cavities in my whole life and all but one of them were when I was little (baby teeth).

Fell off a wall as a kid and split my front tooth in half, root canal and a load of white filling later and it looked okay. These days its yellowy grey (Dead for almost 10 years) and urgently needs to be replaced with a crown.
One of my front canines was snapped in half when I tried to open a bottle with my mouth as a kid, so I've got a fang one side and a chipped tooth the other.
Half my molars are silver from all the damn mercury fillings I've had, wayyy too much chocolate back at school.
I also can't get my teeth properly polished, because my front tooth would just look dark grey against a row of white teeth. Plus I'm English so they're naturally yellowed a little.
So what can I say? When I finish my degree and have some income I'm gonna pay some dentist a fortune to sort my gob out. On the bright side, at least they're naturally straight, and most people I know say they look fine.
Basically I recommend staying away from Chocolate, drinking lots of Milk, and NOT to go climbing stuff.

Every 2-3 days? Gross. How can you stand that?
I take good care of my teeth. I know genetically I have good teeth. My great grandma who died about 2 weeks before she would've turned 100 (born in 1896) had her original teeth when she died. I intend on keeping mine for a good long while.
Although, I had my first cavity last year though it was in that spot where two teeth touch and it's hard to clean without floss. I just kept missing it I guess.
