Do you think Peter learned how to breakdance when he got his powers just to add flare to his movement?

i think peter parker had been trying and failing to breakdance long before the spider-bite, and is just happy to discover he finally has the upper body strength to actually pull it off now

absurd how in my adult life i've gone from "cannot leave the house without a full beat, elaborate eyeshadow, winged liner, curled hair, cannot risk my true form being perceived" to "i know if i washed my hair this week I'd feel less like a piece of shit, but i can't be assed to do it so the people at the grocery store are just going to have to fucking deal", and at both points in time, i was in the depths of a depression hole, had back pain, no job, and a horrible fixation on a specific video game

but hey, things are looking up!

this time i also have tinnitus, am 8 years older, and look like shit! :D

when people joke about the dentist making their gums bleed or chiding them for not flossing. SKILL ISSUE

Beata Maria, you know I'm a hygienic man of my flossing I am justly proud.

Beata Maria, my teeth are so much cleaner than the common, vulgar, weak, licentious crowd.

Then tell me, Maria, why it's never good enough why the pits of rot still mar my teeth.

I must switch to fluoride, but every option I can find is full of minty pain beyond belief!

Toothpaste companies must really hate people who are allergic to mint toothpaste, which a lot of people are! Apparently it's NOT supposed to burn like minty hellfire? (I'm fine with mint candy, it's only mint toothpaste that hurts)

I've been using Tom's fennel for years, but am now trying to find one with fluoride in it, and finding a toothpaste that is no mint and yes fluoride should not be such a huge and infuriating quest. still got some more grocery stores to search, but not even the children's toothpaste in the nearest one had any that were suitable.

How to Maintain a Healthy and Happy Smile

A healthy smile is more than just a cosmetic concern – it’s a key indicator of overall health and wellbeing. 

At Capture Life Dental Care, we believe that a healthy smile is a vital part of living a happy and fulfilling life. 

In this blog, we’ll share our top tips for achieving a healthier smile, from simple habits to more advanced treatments.

Tip #1: Brushing Basics

Brushing your teeth is one of the most important habits for maintaining a healthy smile. But are you doing it correctly? Make sure to brush for at least two minutes, twice a day, using a fluoride toothpaste and a soft-bristled toothbrush. Don’t forget to brush all surfaces of your teeth, including the front, back, and top.

Tip #2: Flossing Fundamentals

Flossing is often overlooked, but it’s a crucial step in removing plaque and bacteria from between your teeth. Use a long piece of floss and gently curve it around each tooth, making sure to go beneath the gumline. Don’t snap or force the floss, as this can damage your gums.

Tip #3: Healthy Snacking

What you eat can have a big impact on your oral health. Try to limit sugary snacks and drinks, which can contribute to tooth decay and erosion. Instead, opt for healthy snacks like fruits, vegetables, and nuts. Crunchy fruits and veggies like apples and carrots are particularly good for your teeth, as they help to clean and stimulate your gums.

Tip #4: Regular Check-Ups

Regular dental check-ups are essential for maintaining a healthy smile. During a check-up, your dentist can identify any potential problems early on, and provide personalized advice and treatment. Aim to visit your dentist every six months, or as recommended.

Tip #5: Whitening Wonders

A brighter, whiter smile can make a huge difference to your confidence and overall wellbeing. There are many whitening options available, from at-home strips to in-office treatments. Consult with your dentist to find the best option for you.

Tip #6: Mouthwash Magic

Mouthwash can be a powerful tool in the fight against plaque, bacteria, and bad breath. Look for a mouthwash that contains fluoride and antibacterial ingredients, and use it as directed.

Tip #7: Avoid Tobacco and Smoking

Tobacco and smoking are major risk factors for oral health problems, including gum disease, tooth decay, and oral cancer. Quitting can be tough, but the benefits to your overall health and wellbeing are well worth it.

Tip #8: Chew Sugar-Free Gum

Chewing sugar-free gum can help to stimulate saliva production, which can help to neutralize acid and remineralize teeth. Look for gum that carries the ADA Seal of Acceptance, which indicates that it meets certain standards for safety and effectiveness.

Conclusion

In conclusion, achieving a healthier smile is within your reach. By following these simple tips and habits, you can maintain a healthy, happy smile for years to come. 

At Capture Life Dental Care, we’re dedicated to helping you achieve the smile of your dreams. Contact us today to schedule a consultation and take the first step towards a healthier, happier you!

Floss

The dentist tells me that you should use a new section of floss for every tooth. Otherwise, no matter how hard you strip your gums You are only moving plaque around And digging it in deeper. They show me how to wrap it around my finger, Slowly unravel more as needed, How to change the old for the new And let the new remove the old.

i saw that one disability-related post a while ago about dental care but i can't find it again so i'm gonna mention a few things as a (mild to moderately) mentally & physically disabled person, whose teeth hurt when i eat sweet stuff now + i've had a root canal due to a fall + i'm learning to take care of myself, that may or may not help other folks with their dental routine

note: i am not a dentist & this info is mostly what i've gleaned secondhand from dentists, so yeah, i am not an expert in any capacity

water flossers aren't as effective as regular flossing (doing both is actually what's most effective) but they're better than nothing & helpful in cases where coordination problems or other issues might prevent regular flossing technique (i imagine this also depends on the quality of the water flosser)

if you use one of the plastic pre-made floss picks things, rinse the string off in-between each time you use it to floss one side of a tooth, it's tedious but it mimics moving to a new (clean) part of the thread like you do with regular floss

if you get an automatic toothbrush, get one that does circular rotation rather than just vibrating or whatever, as this mimics the tools they use in a dentist's office + imitates the circular motion you're expected to make with a standard toothbrush (which is also hard with coordination issues), i got one that does this pretty cheap from walmart (it's an oral-b but i forgot the specific type) + it automatically times it for you

if you have white spots on your teeth that are uneven with the shade of the rest of the tooth those are potentially white spot lesions due to demineralization; whitening products can make this worse rather than help it, but some products can help with remineralization such as mi paste topical tooth creme, which contains calcium and phosphate (i have yet to try this myself but it seems to get suggested by a lot of dentists, orthodontists, etc. for white spots on teeth & it's also supposed to help with sensitivity and tooth health in general because the white spots are lesions so it's not purely cosmetic!)

it's advised to not rinse your mouth immediately after brushing as this potentially dilutes & reduces the effects of the flouride (if you use fluoride toothpaste), stuff says to wait at least 15 minutes or so

just giving your teeth a quick scrub (even if it's without toothpaste and just water) is better than not brushing your teeth at all

if you have trouble seeing a dentist for financial reasons, try to see if there are income-based or charity dental services in your area, sometimes dental schools also provide low-cost/free dental care

that's all i can think of for now, i wish i had more advice for people who struggle to be able to brush their teeth at all in general but this is all i got unfortunately :(

additionally - you're not bad, useless, gross, or a failure if you struggle to (or can't) maintain oral hygiene; this stuff is much easier for some people than it is to others & those who take it for granted like to forget that, no one deserves to be mocked or looked down on for being disabled & struggling to/not being able to do """basic""" stuff like this!

Quick headcannon for our favourite little family. (Tsu'tey/Reader & Spider)

Tsu'tey, like the rest of his clan, is a professional weaver. He can make rugs, tapestries, baskets, anything you can think of. And he'll have it done in half the time you expect it to take. In comparison, Reader's skill equates to a teen learning for the very first time, how to make friendship bracelets with sewing thread instead of embroidery floss.

So of course, hilariously, Spider (age 4) decides to go to Reader out of both parents, and demand they teach him how to make jewellery. (Bonus points if Reader was already trying to make a piece for Tsu'tey and was near tears with how hard they were struggling).

And of course, like a good parent who does not want a scenario of the blind leading the blind, they suggest he waits for Tsu'tey to come home. To which Spider refuses, so they compromise with Reader showing him the basics (they can barely do it themselves) so that Tsu'tey can show him the more complicated stuff later. Unsurprisingly, Spider takes after Reader and can't weave for shit so the first attempt it laughable.

Tsu'tey doesn't seem to care though.

When he ducks into the compound, looking tired and content after a long day with the clan, he greets his mate and child with a warm smile and a hug. He has barely put down his bow before Spider is rushing up to him and brandishing his first weaving technique.

Of course, Tsu'tey looks at it with nothing but heart eyes.

<"For me?"> He asks, tail beginning to wag as Spider nods excitedly, toddling closer to push it into his Dad's hands, only for his little face to fall when he realises that the bracelet is WAY too small for Tsu'tey's big wrist.

Not missing a beat, Tsu'tey carefully plucks the bracelet from Spider's little hands and rolls it onto his second finger, before giving the fingers a wiggle. <"It fits perfectly, thank you my sweet."> He praises, bending to give Spider a raspberry to the forehead. Of course, Spider is immediately delighted and toddles off to go make MORE bracelets.

And like the proud father he is, Tsu'tey loves EVERYTHING Spider makes for him and I mean EVERYTHING! This man goes round decked out in brightly coloured jewellery with uneven beading and knot work, and he is PROUD to be seen in it all. He hoards Spider's projects like a human parent hoards drawings on the kitchen fridge.

And even years later, when Spider has significantly improved and is making pieces that rival all the other kids his age, Tsu'tey keeps everything his boy ever made him. Spider once demanded he remove all the shitty bracelets and burn them, looking embarrassed as he pressed a new piece into Tsu'tey's hands.

Of course, the new piece simply got added to Tsu'tey's attire, and he reluctantly removed the older pieces upon Spider's request, but kept them safely stored with his other possessions. What Spider doesn't know however, is that he keeps the very first bracelet/ring, hidden under his forearm guard, secured tightly with an additional leather strap so it will never go missing.
