Why a 24/7 Emergency Dental is Your Best Health Investment
Dental emergencies are unpredictable and can arise at any time, which is why they are classified as emergencies. These situations may include problems such as broken teeth, severe toothache, or damaged crowns. Prompt treatment is crucial to prevent complications and minimise discomfort. Having access to a 24/7 emergency dental service is essential to addressing these urgent problems. As with other emergencies, it is reassuring to know that an emergency dentist is available around the clock. The availability of urgent dental care ensures that patients can always receive qualified assistance whenever needed. In this blog, we will explore the many benefits of such a vital service, emphasising its importance for maintaining your health and well-being.

Hi,
I'm Anna or Ande and the lovely little kitty pictured is Sage. He's an old man (13) who is a terrible menace and also an absolute darling I love dearly.
We recently lost his sister which has been hard on us both, and at his checkup following this the vet advised me he needs at least two teeth removing if not more, and some intervention to prevent further tooth loss.
As most people with cats know, dental care is very rarely covered in their health insurance, and at his age there is nowhere that will cover him for this dental surgery. I've looked around and been quoted mostly between £1000 and £3000 for the work that needs doing, and as the time has gone on he's been struggling to eat and showing signs of discomfort more and more and so it's becoming more urgent that he gets the care he needs.
I've found a not for profit vetinary charity who will do everything he needs for a fixed price of £450, and I will need to travel a fair way to get him there but it will be worth the saving. The problem is that with all the help I'm giving to my family and trying to recover from a mess of financial abuse I don't have any chance of saving this up with the kind of urgency he needs.
Basically I'm looking for ��500 to cover the vet bills, travel, and obviously gofundme's fees but I thought this was the most transparent way to do it. I'll be raising alongside saving what I can, so even if I don't hit the goal here as soon as the care is affordable I will be booking him in to be taken care of.
The vet advised that given his age and quality of life we could look to have him put down if his condition deteriorates to a point where he can't eat at all and is just suffering, but while there is a chance of preventing this I'm not willing to give that option consideration until it is the only one available to me that would be if any benefit to him.
I love my little idiot son so much, and I don't want him to be in pain any longer than he has already been. I feel a terrible amount of guilt that he might have been suffering for longer than I thought, and that I'm not in a financial position to do anything about it immediately, but it is in my power to ask for help so that's what I'm doing here.
Thank you for reading, and be assured that in the meantime Sage is getting as many cuddles as he wants (which is a lot, I assure you!)

AND ANOTHER THING: i personally subscribe to the "curly is australian" school of thought. reasons:
look at him. no way is he english. he's blond and built. that dude surfs. he eats at hungry jack's. drop bears and enormous spiders and cassowaries ain't shit to him. he says "no worries" with the same frequency that old telegrams say "STOP." but seriously, it (sort of) keeps the british slang he uses intact without sacrificing the general vibes of the character. plus it means i get to do my atrocious aussie accent when reading his lines
it's funny to imagine him casually calling things and people cunts, and funnier still to imagine him having to bite his tongue to stop himself from calling things and people cunts while around his coworkers (it upsets anya, it gives daisuke a bad impression of pony express conduct standards, jimmy thinks it's funny for all the wrong reasons, swansea keeps barking at him to watch his fuckin language)
i was talking to my husband and told him about the Great British Curly Reveal, and with no prompting at all he immediately remarked "y'know i always thought of him as australian for some reason." that's radar love, babey, and two radar lovers just can't be wrong
#mouthwashing#mouthwashing curly#australians: please accept my sincere apologies#if it's any consolation i'm a gormless yank who can't afford to travel to your beautiful country#because i need my comically miniscule wages to just barely afford my gov't mandated gun and hamburger quota#and my exorbitantly priced medical and dental care#anyway i love king gizzard and the lizard wizard; thanks for them and sorry again

My SSDI hearing is in like 2 weeks and I'm ANXIOUS. Apparently it's mainly talking to the judge about why my medical records don't talk about my disability back when I had to quit working, but like... the consequences of the hearing are going to greatly affect my life and I also have to talk about how I was gaslit (literally told I was crazy) about my degenerative disability developing and that was the worst time in my life.
Also still dealing the caregiver support program and THEIR stuff too, but everyone involved who isn't on the board that keeps denying me is frustrated and mad about the denials so it's less upsetting than the ssdi hearing.
Life will get better I swear it
#if i get them both im going to be at the lower end of upper middle class#instead of middle working class#like the difference between 'me and most of my friends and family are all missing teeth in our 30s'#and 'we can afford to get my husband dental implants and fix the rest before he loses them'

ADHD here, please tell me, teach me, write instruction to how brush and floss your teeth three times a day.
Please.
Do you set alarm clocks? Do you have apps that reminds you? T_T
And no, wisdom teeth ARE NOT easy.
I gotchu
👇👇👇👇
Nope no apps or alarms. It's all less about a schedule, and more just working it into your eating routine. Making flossing and brushing part of your eating process is the easiest way rather than just relying on memory or "oop it's 1pm, gotta brush!" when you may not even eat lunch until 2, you get me?
Here's my process:
1. Brush before you eat breakfast. If you feel a bit nauseous in the mornings, try and sip some water to settle it down, but whatever you do, do not eat or drink anything other than water before your first brush. Why?
Eating softens the enamel! Acidic drinks (coffee, juice, etc) softens the enamel! If you eat/drink and then brush, you are quite literally brushing away your teefie's lil coat of armor!
2. Brush yo damn tongue. I know it sucks. I know you'll gag. It's hell. Do it anyway. I'm suffering with you ✊
3. Don't just go crazy everywhere in there. If you're zigzagging around your mouth like it's Mario kart, you're missing spots. I brush in sections to guarentee coverage. Top right molars - front, bottom, back, back edge. Bottom right molars - front, top, back, back edge. Etc. In total, six sections each brushed exactly the same.
I'm fully aware written down it sounds OCD levels of bullshit, but I promise, it's the same 2-3 minutes spent brushing as usual, just organized and effective rather than pure chaos and a prayer of plaque removal 🥴
Also, don't brush too hard. If your bristles are bent and smooshed, ease up my god you're brushing away the enamel by force 😳
4. After you brush and spit - Do. Not. Rinse.
Don't.
Put the water down.
If at most you have to refresh the tongue from feeling weirdly coated, take a tiny sip of water and gurgle only on the back of the tongue and spit.
I say this because the longer the toothpaste stays on your teeth, the better. You want that flouride and whatnot doing its thing on your enamel and gum line as long as possible, so give it as much time as you can and let your mouth naturally clean it out. It will.
5. Floss after every meal. Every one. It will become a habit and you'll start to hate the feeling of not flossing after. Floss after snacks!!! If it's solid food, floss. Period. Flossers can and will become your best friend because they are so convenient. I love them, I just keep a few in the zipper part of my wallet and whenever I'm out, I can (and do) floss on the go.
Side note, there is a right and wrong way to floss. So, be mindful of that.
6. Other than morning time, brush after meals when you can, HOWEVER!!!! WAIT AT LEAST 20 MINUTES (see part 1.) In those 20 minutes after you finish eating, drink water and thoroughly swish it around your mouth to help dilute the acid sitting on your teeth. Floss during this time as well to get the crud out from between your teeth so it's not just sitting there. If you're out in public or at a job where you can't brush after lunch, brush as soon as you get home. Literally take off your shoes, hang up your coat, kiss your pet (or spouse or... idk houseplant) hello, and then go brush.
8. After your final brushing of the day, eat or drink nothing else but water. Nothing.
Look at me
Nothing else ಠ_ಠ
If you do want to eat or drink again, gonna have to wait 20 min and brush again 🤷♀️
So you see, it's less about a schedule and more just working the act of brushing and flossing into your normal eating routine. Make the two synonymous. Make it part of your meal process. Eat. Floss. Rinse with water. Wait, then brush.
Important*****
For those who have days when they cannot mentally or physically make themselves brush, listen to me. I understand. It's ok. Believe me, I do know more than I ever say on here. But don't do nothing. If that is you, keep a small bottle of listerine next to your bed/chair so you can swish and spit. Buy a bag of flossers and keep those near you to at least floss. Buy those little one use brusher sticks/a clean rag and toothpaste and use those. If that's the best you can do, there's no shame in that. I promise your future self will be so, so grateful for these little things, because even a little is better than nothing. And in the end you deserve to have your mouth feel fresh, even when you yourself don't have the spoons to do much else.
#anon#i take teeth hygiene very seriously lol#my mom had so many teeth problems and my aunt spent THOUSANDS on her teeth#i just realized young that I did not want that to be me#and having lived the majority of my life without dental insurance it's always been a very do or die thing#cuz if something goes catastrophically wrong i can't afford to fix it#so maintenance has always been the name of the game for me

actual conversation i had with my dental hygienist
hygienist: so what did you study at university?
me: chemistry...
hygienist: damn, no wonder you look so sad!
#this is especially funny now that i got a new job and it has like... barely anything to do with my degree LMAOOOO#mostly bc the job market is rough rn and i kinda need the money more than anything... but damn LOL#and then he proceeded to give me a speech about his own road to becoming a hygienist#how he started in business but then hated it so he started dj-ing#then found that he got bored of it and so he went to med school. but found that too much of a hassle as well#so now hes in dental school and working as a hygienist as he completes his schooling and is NOW debating on changing careers again#and like noah fence to the guy i know he was trying to be encouraging about how 'ur degree shouldnt shackle u to one type of career'#but also his carefree nature is sending alarm bells in my head bc the only ppl who speak like that are people who can Afford#to soul search like that. bc if i knew my parents are there to catch me if my new venture failed#damn i'd do fucking whatever i wanted to as well!! but ofc idk if hes really rich like that#he did have an aura tho. rich people aura. they got a way of talking sometimes... especially western ppl....#ANYWAY.... just wanted to share how i got scalped with my mouth wide open filled with blood thank u for listening to my ted talk#zee talks

Got a short fluffy fic! Bonding by Proxy by StripestheBoar!
Luci has to go on a work trip through the Rings for a bit, so he leaves Eden, his halo/top-hat snake, to keep Alastor company. Alastor, in turn, lets his Shadow tag along with Luci.
Through their mutual extensions they share affection as they go about their days.
Awwwww wait, this sounds so cute 🥺 it sounds like the kind of fluff that'd give me cavities, but fuck it, let the bone rotting sweetness begin.
#I love it when Alastor's shadow is incorporated into stories#and I never considered Lucifer's lil hat snake doing the same thing#but I love it#that's so cute#im so here for this#I can't afford dental care but fuck it we ball#who needs teeth anyway?#asks#anon#anonymous#fanfic recs#fanfiction recommendations
