Do you look like this?
How do you expect to hold a job if you can’t even hold a jaw on your face? No jaw = no job.
I retired 6 years ago.
My teeth shift around sometimes. I’m overdue for a dental appointment and plant to take care of that next month. In the meantime I want to heal up my gums and floss deep. I want a good turnover for the smile I’m bringing in.
You can see the off color and how one lower tooth even looks like a piece of corn projecting out.
This is currently what I have to work on tonight.
This is what I have tools and materials I have to work with.
I already tried one of these strip packs from Brush Buddies and they are fun and do produce some results. Maybe more if you smoke, I currently don’t. There are actually 3 packs with 2 strips in each . That old pack of wooden toothpicks were my father’s and haven’t been touched in the medicine cabinet. I’ll use one tonight. They are tapered and way to use just moisten and slide tapered side up between the lower gap between teeth. Recommender for gum stimulation.
I was surprised with even the tip blunting I was able to slide these in between a few teeth and I have difficulty getting dental floss stuck between my teeth sometimes when they are excessively tight. With practice and facial manipulation I was even able to slide this wood pick between back teeth.
Fair warning don’t claim tighty whities if you know they are just in place without real anchor and its just the light.
And CAUTION . Severe simian/primate bite. We try to be human.
Quick brush to and water pick floss to remove any displaced in between the teeth food particles. Still not the brightest.
Time for the strips. From what I can get from the instructions then long rectangle is for the lower teeth and the curved piece from the upper. These feel like some soft silicone or some kind of fatty fish skin layer. Peel stick adjust, fold over the protruding. The top strip could have been a little bigger but I fit to available size.
I had to adjust the top strip if you can see the line. Just slid it down and it’s been in place covering the front teeth.
Final results after the strips. They left some residue after removal I used like a gel toothpaste with my budget spin brush. it’s noticeable improvement. I still need better. Better expression of character and genetics.
Quick 15:minute gum treatment for bacteria and infection causing redness and bleeding after this and I’ll be back with the final component.
I can’t find my other “custom fit” nighttime anti grinding mouthpiece which came out lopsided and actually kind of hurts. I bought a pack of several of these before and found one left over. It’s very flexible and hardly noticeable. It doesn’t fit over all my upper teeth and only contacts about one or two upper and lower tooth each side which is enough to prevent any direct clenching contact or grinding. Upper jaw fit just slide the thin bridge up the gums behind the upper lip and it locks in place.
Have a good night. Pray the succubi away.
Lower jaw fit is even better. Just had to wake up and say that. I think I’ll alternate.
Has your cocaine addiction caused you to lose your nasal hairs?
I already posted about my nasal hair clipper. Naturally I have little visible nose hair. Or it just oven temperature in my nostrils. It’s usually black in a black hole.
Gums getting less resistant to bleeding so I hit them hard today with floss picks, water pick, interdental wire bristle brushes. A good brushing and the other film strip. These do fit every tooth but you have to go at the base and may have to bend the brush and come from inside. The brush did get hard stuck sometimes and does draw blood but bleeding is lessening. You can even go to the wisdom teeth and adjacent. Products like that orajel toothache cream combination antiseptic/pain reliever/astringent can be an occasional treat to the mouth with a good cleaning. I used a very small amount so I don’t have any unexpected side effects to slightly numb the gums.
You can feel the bite weight better.
I’m very off today , my teeth feel less dense ,.smaller and it seems I’m actually missing a few at some times.
Let’s see if we can make some progress , and not be superimposed upon.
Final results. Time for that little bite guard. I did a quick tongue scraping.
Lips need an upgrade too. I have a few planned.
These aren’t excessive pictures they will take more X-rays and photos at the dentist.
Tooth grinding noticed after waking up. .I removed the bite guard and fell back asleep.
Lower jaw feels knocked off coincidentally a 2 pound weight drop on the scale
Note when doing the bristle work last night, there is a different smell when you get to that part of the gum, it smells like meat decaying I’m a turtle tank and it’s usually locked in by other smells.
If you floss you have to cut really deep. They might do it at the dentist so you know how deep…but it may cause bleeding on weak gums. With gums protected against gum disease and flossed regular it won’t bleed despite going deep and hard with the floss.
