Bad teeth decay | |
| Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 76759123  United States04/15/2019 06:11 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Are you vegan by any chance? Because there's a lot of videos lately on Youtube on carnivore channels with interviews with former vegans who gave up that diet because they were becoming sick, and one of the symptoms they all mention is bad, rotting teeth. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77333689 Oh hell no I can't give up meat. And potatoes for that fact lol. |
| Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 76759123 United States04/15/2019 06:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I have no idea where to start this, but I've been a frequent visitor to this site for about 10 years. I have no one to turn to, but I just have to get this out somewhere to get things started. To start though, I'm almost 30 and my wife is 27. We both have terrible teeth and it feels like we have no options. I've been at the same dead end job now for 13 years and I can't find another because of these horrendous teeth. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76759123 I don't make shit for money and have no insurance. I have to sacrifice a lot of foods in fear of breaking anymore teeth. Right now I've been oil pulling daily to hopefully not get any infections. My wife is in the same boat as me but we want to do something with our lives but can't because of the shitty choices we have made concerning our teeth. But I want that to change so bad. We just don't want to worry about dying from bad teeth. It's such a terrible feeling having to worry about being embarrassed and constantly worrying about these. Does anyone have any suggestions? And trust me if we could travel back in time and fix the mistakes we would. look into using amanita muscaria mushrooms to help prevent and eliminate infections in teeth. Simply bite down on a piece enough to cover the tooth that is bothering you... I had a wisdom tooth that was falling apart and used amanitas to elminate pain (can keep pain away for a few days at a time) and to eliminate infection. When finally I got an appointment to get examined for an extraction, the dentist was amazed it wasn;t infected...me too. I've been oil pulling so never get infections. I want to succeed for me and my wife and I want to do something about them so I can feel like for once that I have done better. Have you tried oil pulling with cold pressed coconut oil? A suggestion for something on the meantime. Allegedly people have reversed tooth decay. Coconut oil has amazing properties. Coconut is my goto daily. |
dean007  User ID: 76787506  Canada04/15/2019 06:14 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thank you. The coconut oil pulling seems to keep infections at bay and drinking water/coffee has made a huge difference in overall health. oregano oil is really good for infection bottle is 10 dollars max should last like a year or more you get good mileage out of it it will shrink all swelling and kill all the bad in there clove oil will numb an infected or broken tooth again fairly cheap one drop on area or qtip dipped in it and held to area gargle with diluted hydrogen peroxide saving teeth is expensive getting them ripped out not so much you can get a tooth pulled around 75 dollars roughly maybe get the absolute worse ones pulled out sometime people might have had a really bad fever and it will destroy your teeth as an after effect at least you were lucky and the fever didnt kill you bad side effect of fever ruined teeth dentures are expensive if you have to get them maybe check down south maybe a 4 hour car ride down south might save you 70 percent or more and you get a semi vacation colleges should do it for pretty cheap but you will have to work around there schedule The peroxide does help and clove oil was a goto but i find the coconut oil does best keeping infections away so haven't had pain any really in a few Yeats. Just sucks having to watch everything I eat and worrying at the same time. maybe try the oregano its pretty incredible it will immediately shrink swelling good for cuts and scrapes and i think even as a cooking seasoning i would recommend it for ant ones first aid kit |

I know most larger towns have a discount denture place. You get a tax refund? Credit Card? Those discount places offer financing. Im not sure about a local dental school as I was a young girls final project as I thought I was doing her a favor, she had no idea what she was doing and hurt me just doing a cleaning... But perhaps your local dental school would know all the options in your area. Start asking around OP, it will work out. Last Edited by Soundman on 04/15/2019 06:17 PM Soundman |

Dental work is really expensive but having an insurance plan will save you thousands. I am in the same boat as you, having terrible teeth. Ive already had 4 teeth removed, 4 intense fillings and am having another 4 removed for a partial denture. I would not have been able to get this done if it wasnt for my provincial goverments aid. If you are constantly having infections in the same teeth you will have to either get the teeth removed or have a root canal. Try to find any way to get some insurance or save up thousands for the work. Does welfare or government assistance give you benefits? Quoting: StubbyClaps We can't get any kind of government aid. Insurance thru work is terrible. I work retail so that should be a dead giveaway. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 48626282 Oregano is used for respiratory tract disorders such as coughs, asthma, croup, and bronchitis. It is also used for gastrointestinal (GI) disorders such as heartburn and bloating. Other uses include treating menstrual cramps, rheumatoid arthritis, urinary tract disorders including urinary tract infections (UTIs), headaches, and heart conditions. The oil of oregano is taken by mouth for intestinal parasites, allergies, sinus pain, arthritis, cold and flu, swine flu, earaches, and fatigue. It is applied to the skin for skin conditions including acne, athlete's foot, oily skin, dandruff, canker sores, warts, ringworm, rosacea, and psoriasis; as well as for insect and spider bites, gum disease, toothaches, muscle pain, and varicose veins. Oregano oil is also used topically as an insect repellent. |
