Canker Sores and other random ailments to the mouth...
Doncha hate'em? This is the thread where we can moan about canker sores, toothaches, aching gums, wisdom teeth, braces... what ever (and for the older 'mooters, dentures *ducks as random sharp objects are thrown into her general direction)! Well, go right on ahead!

As you can see, I don't hang out here muchly anymore. There's a good reason for this. Y'see, I've been hanging out at a different chatboard called Cardboardia. So far, I've been havin' a blast. Not that I don't love the TLA, but the magic of Entmoot is lost on me. So, as soon as TLA ends, so will my existance here, probably. Who knows though? I might stay. Highly unlikely however. This is a good bye in advance, then. Unless you want to join me and my group of friends at Cardboardia. Cheers! |

I hated braces. *Warning: Anti-braces rant coming up* Do you want to hear my story? Well, even if you don't, if you keep reading, you're going to get it.

I don't think "older" people do dentures anymore. That was the Lawrence Welk generation. Now, the dentist slowly makes you poor by replacing your bad molars with "crowns" ($600.00 apiece!) For me, the worst part of the dentist is the bill. OWWW.

I hated braces as well. I had to have a retainer before I could even get braces. There was no room for all of my teeth to come in (regular teeth). I got my braces on at the end of fourth grade - they said I only had to have them on for one year. I didnt get them off until the end of 7th grade! And that was only their "phase one." I only had braces on my top teeth. My teeth were VERY slow in coming in, but now all my adult teeth are finally in. Ben's adult teeth were all in when he was in the 3rd grade
![]() I only have one cavity, and getting that wasn't my fault. ![]() I'm 14 now, but since my teeth are so darn slow (my 12 year molars just came in now), the dentist predicts that I won't get my wisdom teeth for at least another 4 years, but they will probably fit because of my mouth being spaced out due to the braces.

When my wisdom teeth started coming in, I took a steak knife and slashed open my gums. For the next week or two I had bits of dead flesh coming off in my mouth.

I had to get one widom tooth out last year and I think I'll have to get another out at the end of this year. The dentist gave me 2 needles and then tried to pull it out (he just got some plier like device and pulled!). Well I shrieked because it hurt so I had to get another needle. Anyway it eventually came out and was bleeding for the rest of the day.

I had braces for about two years, and I ate whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted. I didn't get stains, and I only broke a bracket once, and it just broke, it wasn't because of food.
I hate my retainer though. I have a permanent one on my bottom teeth, and it tore up my tongue for awhile. I have canker sores from rough teeth...huh.

I never had any braces and my wisdom teeth never gave me problems. The only cavities I had were from a dentist that we think had been cheating my parents and saying I had cavities when I didn't. After we stopped going to him - I didn't have any more cavities. I'm just glad they were mostly in my baby teeth - now I only have one filled tooth.
My brother's and sister all had braces and retainers though. ![]()

For me the worst part of the dentist is the combination of the chair and the spit-sucking thing! I've never erally had any problems with my mouth, other than the fact that I don't know when to shut it, but I fear the chair and the sucky thing!

Geez Jersey Devil, I thought holding a little kid with pink-eye down while you put the stinging eyedrops in every two hours was bad. Every night your parents had to look forward to a big scene while they made their daughter cry in pain! Poor parents! A mouth expander!! What is that?? Did she have TMJ?? What was going to happen, her mouth explode? I don't know, Believe it when your parents say "this hurts us more than it hurts you!!When my big girl was young, she'd get so upset and freaked out at the dentist, they finally had us start giving her valium before she went. It was so much fun to take her to the dentist, watch her freak out, and then pay them for this priviledge.

My friend's brother had a thing in his mouth that split his mouth open, like he had a cleft palate, sort of. It takes a few weeks to work, but once his mouth split, his teeth spread in like, five minutes.
The aforementioned friend once had her braces tightened so tightly that a gap between her two front teeth closed in three hours.
