Just as I thought lol. I had a quick glance at the article, and not a single mention of enamel.

I'm telling you right now, if you pull coconut oil it will help your gums reattach to your teeth.

Brush your teeth, floss them, get them cleaned at the dentist and then oil pull.

You need to somehow get teeth cleaned to give your gums a clean surface to attach to.

Feeling pretty down boyos. I'd do anything to turn the clock back, my lack of conscientiousness will be the death of me. They said it was not severe though... but this sucks big time

Any advice/ thoughts? Any dentistbrahs want to weigh in?
Did they use a probe to check your perio pockets? If they did, they would have called out a number 1-5 for each tooth. Anything 5 and over is not good. That being said, it may not be as bad as you think. Some offices use the hygienist to try and sell a "deep cleaning." This is most often a waste of money and unnecessary. You lose bone as you get older. It's natural and your teeth are not going to fall out any time soon.

I don't know where you got this information but it isnt valid at all. My teeth are remineralizing and I'm on a plant based diet. My teeth are whiter than ever before.

In 2010 47.9% of people had this, so basically half the population. Welcome to still being a regular person.

Also of note, half of people aren't missing all their teeth, so I assume if you take care of them you'll probably be fine

Sorry to hear but like mentioned there are measures you can take. Thanks anyway because you've reminded me I need to get my brushing and flossing frequency back into check.

Please expand on how your teeth has gotten better lol


Also, do you rinse with a mouthwash? I hope so for your significant other's sake.

That's great man. Just so you know though you either need a root canal or you don't. There is no reversing that. A better alternative to a root canal is to yank the tooth and put a single unit implant there.

I'm actually used to this reaction by now. No one believes me and they think im stupid for not using a conventional toothbrush and toothpaste. The one downside I would say is that it takes me much longer to brush my teeth now.

If it's working and an outside party can confirm your breath doesn't smell more power to you. Go with whatever works.

IMO flossing is way more important than brushing.

Like if you were only gonna do one, I'd say floss your teeth.

At the same time too much flossing can be bad.

Brushing your teeth is kinda overrated TBH, not nearly as helpful as flossing.

OP, get yourself a waterflosser if you don't like flossing all the time as a supplement to traditional flossing.

Lmao at no floss neanderthals

Brushing is literally only half the battle. Flossing is arguably even more important

Man sorry to hear that. I've always been really concerned with my oral health and ironically i have dipped for years. I guess one halfway decent side effect of my nicotine addiction has been going to the dentist every 6 months for a cleaning and flossing/brushing like a mad man. Hope they can stop it man. Best of luck.

Same. Genetics and maybe early childhood nutrition plays a role. It's gross but sometimes I don't brush my teeth on weekends if I'm just laying around the house or doing stuff outside. also, only brush my teeth in the mornings. From age 7 to 24 never went to the dentist.

my teeth are in better shape than my wife's who brushes/flosses, mornings and nights all her life.

also, she grew up in England, so maybe that's why?
