Joseph’s dental surgery

Joseph had long wondered how long he could go without brushing his teeth, unbeknownst to him he would soon find out in a “routine” visit to a new dental clinic in his town after his previous one had closed down some years prior, they didn’t look horrendous- to him- of course most others opinions would vary from bad to worse. as it happened his appointment was scheduled to be the last of the day- this was because they knew of his attempting to avoid brushing as long as possible. The time finally came for him to go over, the building it was in was very nice, new, sterile feeling as many doctors offices are- part of the reason he picked this facility was their offering general anesthesia for dental phobia patients among other things he was not a fan of dental work done to him. He walked up to the door opened it and was greeted by Suzie the busty brunette receptionist wearing pastel blue scrubs and a scrub cap

Hi you must be Joe ❤️ she chimed

yeah that’s me, here for my appointment with Dr Grace Wheeler.

I’ll let them know youre here

I sat down in one of the tiny chairs and picked up an old magazine to flip through and before long they came for him.

“Hello, Joe “Dr Wheeler greeted and retrieved him personally wearing her wine red scrubs and glasses framing her face under her dirty blonde hair tucked in a cap.

those scrubs are cute Joe said

“Thanks, you won’t be seeing them much though!”

”Why would that be?”

you’ll see, come on back with me, gotta get you ready for your sleep!

“That’s why, I’ll be asleep, alright” I follow her down a long hallway with doors lining each side of the hallway until we arrive at the last one which looks different from the others!

I see some a teal gown, purple cap and blue grippy socks on the big navy blue debtal surgery table with a cup shaped headrest with a loaded mayo stand next to it full of tools and supplies but covered with a green towel. Next to it, a quite advanced looking large anesthesia machine

Just undress and put those clothes on and leave your belongings in this bin please! I’ll be back shortly!

I started to undress all the way and put on the patient attire before sinking into the immense surgery table awaiting my sleep

Then Dr Wheeler came back this time with 2 scrubbed-in figures in tow, they were wearing pale green gowns, blue, full head hoods and white tie-on surgical masks. you could tell they were women, busty at that.

“oohhh, is it time?”

I make myself still on the table, arms on the armrests, as one grabs a wipe and wipes his arm, before sticking a needle in and attaching a bag of saline to the new port in the crook of my elbow.

Then the other one grabs a big fluffy blanket and puts it over me , securing straps over my torso down to my feet.

“We don’t want you falling out now, do we?” Wheeler says, now dressed similarly to her helpers in a green gown, white mask and dark purple gloves

time to sleep you hear as a scrubbed figure places a mask over your face, at first it tastes normal but quickly you feel the flow change and become more chemical smelling, we’re just giving you some nitrous now, as she loads a syringe into your port filled with a strange white liquid

“this may burn or sting slightly”

she was right and soon in addition the back of your throat tasted a bit coppery, before long your vision began to blur as well.

you’re falling down so good, joe, keep falling ❤️ only a matter of time now!

pretty soon what was left of your vision finally faded out and you were in a state of anesthesia.

alright, he’s out , ladies get to work

the mask was renoved from your face then the restraints on your lower body loosened before your legs were moved into the frog pose and your groin shaved and wiped with warm water then painted with betadine followed by a syringe of sterile lubricant injected into your urethra and a catheter placed before the blanket and restraints were replaced.

While that was happening a nasotracheal tube was being introduced into your right nostril, and attached to the ventilator to keep you under and a ring mouth-gag sewn in place simultaneously, before a tube of opthalmic ointment was squirted over each of your corneas and they were sealed with surgical dressings then green towels were placed around your mouth and secured around the tube to keep it in place followed by the mayo stand being wheeled to hang over your insensate body and your chair was raised to just over 4ft off the ground before one of the assistant’s began painting the lower portion of your face with antiseptic, then placed a throat pack with the surgical clamps.

Now it was time to work, Dr Grace Wheeler made quick work of your full clearance, removing each tooth individually before leveling the bone along your gumline with the piezoelectric grinder and sewing your new gums shut, who knows you might just learn a thing or two from being toothless now

hope you all like this story, i wrote it in one take, i know the grammar a d whatnot aren’t all there but the concept sure is

[numbpill]

Everything You Need to Know About Fluoride Treatment for Healthy Teeth

Fluoride is the most effective agent available to help prevent tooth decay. It is a mineral that is naturally present in varying amounts in almost all foods and water supplies.

Topical fluoride strengthens the teeth once they have erupted by seeping into the outer surface of the tooth enamel, making the teeth more resistant to decay. We gain topical fluoride by using fluoride containing dental products such as toothpaste, mouth rinses, and gels. Dr. Poulos and My Scottsdale Dentist recommends that children have a professional application of fluoride twice a year during dental check-ups.

For healthier, stronger teeth, it's essential to include fluoride in your daily oral care routine. Fluoride plays a vital role in protecting your enamel and reducing the risk of cavities, and for many people, it's naturally added to public water supplies. Fluoride toothpaste is another common source of fluoride in your everyday hygiene. However, there are times when a dentist may recommend additional fluoride treatments to boost the protection and strength of your teeth.

We'll dive into what fluoride treatments are, why they're important, how they work, and the benefits they provide. Plus, we'll address some common concerns and questions people have about fluoride.

What Is Fluoride Treatment?

Fluoride treatment is a dental procedure where a dentist or hygienist applies a high concentration of fluoride to the teeth to improve their health and prevent cavities. It helps fortify tooth enamel, making your teeth more resistant to decay. Fluoride treatments can take the form of gels, foams, or varnishes that are applied directly to the teeth during a routine dental visit.

Fluoride treatments are often recommended for individuals who are at higher risk for dental cavities, such as those with dry mouth, poor oral hygiene, or a history of frequent tooth decay.

How Long Does Fluoride Treatment Last?

The effects of fluoride treatment typically last for several months, depending on the method used. For example, fluoride varnish—which is commonly applied during dental visits—can remain on the teeth for about 4 to 6 hours. During this time, the fluoride gets absorbed into the enamel, providing long-lasting protection.

Dentists usually recommend that fluoride treatments be repeated every 3 to 6 months to maintain the effectiveness, especially for individuals who have a higher risk of cavities.

The Benefits of Fluoride Treatments

Fluoride has numerous advantages when it comes to maintaining strong, healthy teeth. Here are some of the key benefits:

1. Helps Prevent Cavities and Tooth Decay

Fluoride treatment helps reduce the risk of cavities by reinforcing tooth enamel and preventing demineralization—the process that causes your enamel to break down. By making enamel stronger and more resistant to decay, fluoride treatment can reduce the chances of cavities forming.

2. Protects Tooth Enamel

Enamel is the outer protective layer of your teeth, and once it’s damaged, it doesn't grow back. Fluoride treatment helps protect and strengthen enamel, ensuring your teeth remain resilient against acids and bacteria in the mouth.

3. Reverses Early Stages of Tooth Decay

If you've noticed early signs of tooth decay (like small white spots on the enamel), fluoride treatments can help remineralize the enamel and even reverse early cavities, preventing them from becoming full-blown cavities that need fillings.

4. Reduces Acidity in the Mouth

Fluoride reduces the amount of acid in the mouth, which is produced by bacteria feeding on sugars. This is crucial because acidic environments can erode tooth enamel, leading to cavities and tooth decay.

5. Helps Mineralize Teeth

When fluoride is absorbed into the enamel, it helps restore vital minerals, such as calcium and phosphate, to the tooth surface. This remineralization process helps keep your teeth strong and resistant to future damage.

Are Fluoride Treatments Safe?

Yes, fluoride treatments are generally safe for most people. They’re commonly recommended by dental professionals and have been shown to be effective in reducing the risk of cavities. However, as with any dental procedure, there are a few things to keep in mind:

Allergic Reactions: Though rare, some individuals may have a mild allergic reaction to fluoride. If this occurs, it’s essential to let your dentist know immediately.

Fluorosis: One potential concern, especially for young children, is dental fluorosis, a condition caused by excessive fluoride intake during tooth development. This can result in white spots or streaks on the teeth. To prevent this, ensure children under the age of 6 don't swallow toothpaste containing fluoride and avoid fluoride supplements unless recommended by a dentist.

Fluoride is safe and beneficial when used in the proper amounts. Dentists carefully monitor fluoride treatment amounts to ensure there is no risk of overdose or side effects.

What Is Fluoride and How Does It Work?

Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral found in water, soil, and some foods. It works by strengthening tooth enamel and making it more resistant to the acids that can lead to cavities. Fluoride can help reverse early tooth decay by stimulating the remineralization process—replacing lost minerals in the enamel.

Demineralization vs. Remineralization

Tooth enamel is constantly undergoing two processes: demineralization and remineralization. Demineralization occurs when acids produced by bacteria in the mouth attack enamel, causing it to lose minerals. Remineralization happens when minerals like fluoride, calcium, and phosphate are redeposited into the enamel, helping to repair and strengthen it. Fluoride plays a critical role in promoting remineralization and stopping the cycle of damage that leads to tooth decay.

Types of Fluoride Used in Dentistry

Many foods and water contain fluoride. You can also purchase fluoride toothpaste and mouthwash. You can buy low-strength fluoride mouthwash over the counter. Stronger concentrations in liquid or tablet form need a healthcare provider’s prescription.

Varnish, which they’ll paint directly on your teeth.

Gel, which they’ll either paint on your teeth or dispense in a custom tray.

Foam, which they’ll dispense into a custom tray, then place over your teeth.

At what age is fluoride intake most important?

Infants and children between the ages of 6 months and 16 years need an appropriate amount of fluoride. Developing teeth benefit from fluoride just as much as teeth that have already erupted (grown in).

The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends watching the intake of too much fluoride in infants and young children. The ADA specifically recommends avoiding reconstituted liquid formulas, such as liquid concentrate or powdered baby formulas that require mixing with fluoridated water.

Instead, the ADA recommends breast milk (chest milk), ready-to-feed formula or prepared formula mixed with fluoride-free water. These recommendations are to guard against enamel fluorosis — faint white streaks that can appear on tooth enamel during a child’s developmental years, even before the teeth erupt through the gums.

For young children, the ADA also recommends:

Using a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste at each brushing.

Spitting out rather than swallowing the toothpaste.

Not allowing children under age 6 to use fluoride mouth rinses unless recommended by a dentist or other healthcare provider.

Not giving fluoride-containing dietary supplements to children under 6 months of age.

Do Adults Benefit from Fluoride?

Absolutely! While fluoride is often associated with children, adults can also benefit from fluoride treatments, especially if they face oral health challenges like:

Dry Mouth (Xerostomia): A common condition caused by certain medications or health issues that leads to reduced saliva production, making the teeth more vulnerable to decay.

A History of Tooth Decay: If you have frequent cavities, fluoride treatments can offer extra protection for your teeth.

Gum Disease or Braces: These can expose more of your teeth and make them more prone to decay, so fluoride can help prevent cavities in these vulnerable areas.

What are the benefits of fluoride?

Fluoride strengthens teeth and reduces your risk of cavities by approximately 25%.

Remineralizes your tooth enamel.

Reverses early tooth decay.

Slows down the process of demineralization.

Prevents the growth of cavity-causing bacteria.

Gone are the days of feeling self-conscious about gaps in your smile or worrying about adjacent teeth becoming unstable. With the innovative dental treatment offered by My Scottsdale Dentist, you can say goodbye to these concerns. This comprehensive approach not only restores function but also focuses on long-term oral health benefits. By understanding the importance of dental implants in maintaining a stable bite and supporting overall oral health, you’re investing in a brighter future filled with confident smiles and worry-free eating experiences. Experience the transformation firsthand and witness how this remarkable solution can truly change lives for the better.

Is fluoride toxic?

When used properly, fluoride is safe and effective. But it can be hazardous at high doses. 

Avoid flavored toothpaste. (Children are more likely to swallow flavored toothpaste.)

Use only a pea-sized amount of fluoridated toothpaste on your child’s toothbrush.

Be cautious about using fluoridated toothpaste in children under age 6. (Children under 6 years of age are more likely to swallow toothpaste instead of spitting it out.)

It’s very difficult to reach dangerous fluoride levels due to the low levels of fluoride in over-the-counter products. But if you have concerns, talk to your dentist, pediatrician or primary care provider (PCP).

How Often Should You Have Fluoride Treatments?

The frequency of fluoride treatments depends on your personal oral health needs. Generally, people with a higher risk of cavities may need fluoride treatments every 3 to 6 months. If you're someone who is not prone to decay and maintains good oral hygiene, treatments once a year might suffice.

Are there risks or side effects of fluoride?

The most common side effect of fluoride is fluorosis (fluoride-induced tooth discoloration). People with fluorosis develop spots on their teeth that can range from light white to dark brown. These spots typically occur during tooth development, usually in children under the age of 6.

Fluorosis most often results from consuming naturally occurring fluoride, like that found in well water. If you have well water, testing a sample can help determine how much fluoride is in your water.

You can’t brush fluorosis away, but a dentist might be able to use special bleaching methods to address the issue. If professional whitening doesn’t work, you can opt for dental bonding or porcelain veneers.

Conclusion

Fluoride treatments are a powerful tool for maintaining optimal dental health. They help protect enamel, prevent cavities, and even reverse early stages of decay. While fluoride is generally safe and beneficial, it’s important to follow your dentist’s advice about how much fluoride you need, particularly for children and adults with specific oral health needs.

Is fluoride good for your teeth?

Yes. When used properly, fluoride is one of the best ways to strengthen your enamel and reduce your risk of cavities. Ask your dentist for product recommendations and how often you should get fluoride treatments.

Modern Dentistry = Inhumane & Unnecessary

The medical industrial complex in the US is sociopathic.

Specifically, modern dentistry.

Blind trust & faith, excessive authoritarianism, abusive practices, capitalist exploitation are all the norm.

Modern dentistry.

Reddit:

“I am so in shock.

I asked the receptionist — is it normal for the dentist to ‘lose an instrument’ during root canal and she immediately said, ‘Yes, its a known complication’.”

Soulless, evil, depraved.

Reddit:

“I was referred to a ‘very good endodontist’ to remove the file but I have to come back to the same dentist to have the crown placed.

Its the same dentist who lost his instrument during my root canal!

The dentist was also SUPER rough with the file during the root canal and HE HAD TO KEEP MY JAW IN PLACE WITH HIS HAND AS IT KEPT MOVING.”

Soulless & sociopathic.

Toxic, capitalist pigs, evil energy vampires.

Dentistry Business plan

1.) Cavity/Decay/Broken Teeth

•Dentist: Fillings - poorly done.

•Dentist: Crowns - improperly placed or sized.

2.) Decay/Possible Nerve Damage - Improper Fillings & Crowns

•Dentist: Unnecessary root canal

3.) Unnecessary failed root canal

•Failed root canal caused by dentist error, infection, bacteria or there was no root canal needed in the first place so periodontal ligament etc damage is done due to how invasive the procedure is.

•All root canals will eventually have to have retreatment/extraction.

•No canal is “permanent” although many dentists present root canals as “one & done” — they’re not.

4.) Retreatment or Referral - 2nd Root Canal

•Retreatment: Dentist does a second root canal after fucking up the first one.

•Referral: Dentist refers patient to an Endodontist, a specialist who specializes in root canals. Given theres already been a failed root canal, chances are high the second root canal will fail as well.

5.) Extraction

•Dentist: Tooth extraction - all of that to just remove the tooth anyway - after thousands has been spent, trauma done to jaw, gums, mouth, teeth, bleeding, pain, etc.

6.) Implant

•Dentist: Implants to replace tooth that was extracted after multiple failed root canals.

7.) Wash, rinse, repeat

•Wash rinse repeat with up to a dozen or more teeth — check reddit for patient stories detailing multiple root canals, infections, drill bits being left in patients teeth, retreatments, extractions & implants being done with all molars, entire side of someones mouth, etc.

They want you broke, broken down & in pain.

It makes them money.

The ADA (American Dental Association) forced Netflix & Amazon Prime to remove the “Root Cause” documentary.

God forbid someone tells the truth & fucks up their racket.

CAPITALISM FEEDS ITSELF ON FUCKING DEATH!

I feel sick over how fucking evil this capitalist society is.

How many millions have been harmed, injured, killed, paralyzed, incapacitated, destroyed, ruined.

All for money.

So fucking cold.

TodaysRDH.com:

Neuralgia Induced Cavitational Osteonecrosis (NICO) & & Fatty Degenerative Osteonecrosis of the Jawbone (FDOJ) are the cavitations at the apex of root canaled teeth and areas of jaw of previously root canaled teeth that were then extracted.

NICO/FDOJ are hollow dead spaces in jawbones where the bone marrow is dying or dead.

The cause of NICO/FDOJ is avascular osteonecrosis.

NICO/FDOJ is largely neglected in mainstream dentistry because it cant be detected by conventional 2D imagery.

Per a study, patients with NICO/FDOJ lesions — caused by root canaled teeth and by extracted teeth after root canals — had the following symptoms:

•Facial pain

•Trigeminal neuralgia

•joint aches

•rheumatoid arthritis

•chronic fatigue syndrome

•breast cancer

•thyroidism

•autoimmune diseases

•multiple sclerosis

•Parkinsons disease

•asthma

•leukemia

•allergy

•ALS

The study also concluded that NICO/FDOJ lesion sites contribute to a permanent increase in RANTES/fibroblast growth factor-2 — RANTES is a chemokine that helps coordinate the bodys immune response & defects in RANTES leads to compromised immunity & more severe infections & acute diseases — fibroblast growth factor-2 stimulated the growth & development of new blood vessels that contribute to cancer, arthersclerosis & other potentially fatal diseases.

A permanent increase in RANTES:FGF-2 expression in NICO/FDOJ lesion sites can exert negative impacts on joint inflammation, central nervous system inflammation & breast tissue.

Chemokine overexpression in the jawbone connected to root canaled teeth appears to be a danger for immune system preservation which is critical to maintaining a balanced immune system & preventing multiple systemic and often fatal diseases. Improper wound healing in previous extraction sites & underneath root canaled teeth provoked immune system modulation which prevents the bodys natural immune system from properly responding to serious & often fatal diseases.

I am completely unnerved by how fucking soulless & evil this capitalist society is.

I feel like vomiting.

Reddit:

“I was told the root canal would be painless due to novacaine.

But it wasnt!

The dentist cotinuously had to stop to give me another novacaine shot.

The dentist even had to shoot the anesthetic directly into the nerve.

I was in pain before I even walked out of the dentist office. Significant pain.

I was told, “Take advil”.’

Sociopaths. Hurting people. For fucking money. And lying about it.

Dentistry does what the NFL does with head impacts.

Its “quack dentistry that was discredited 100 years ago” if you point out the truth about NICO lesions.

Reddit:

“I was in significant pain even a month after the root canal so I finally went back into my dentist.

I was given amoxicillin for 10 days.

Pain was still severe so I was told it was most likely caused by a crack and getting a crown would help.

Crown appointment was a nightmare!!!

I felt pain throughout the ENTIRE procedure and kept having to make the dentist stop to give me another shot of novacaine.

It was so much worse than the root canal.

I went home & sobbed myself to sleep.

The pain was absolutely excruciating.

I was again given antibiotics and told to give the pain 10 days.

Once again, the amoxicillin did nothing.

Permanent crown didnt help.

I am in pain every day.

Xrays were normal.

Dentist told me to go to a specialist or he can extract the tooth for me.

I have Medicaid and dont have money for either.

Its been a year of torturous hell.

I cant chew food on my left side which has caused endless issues on my right side.

I am terrified, afraid, scared, anxious, numb, deflated & defeated.

I could chew on the tooth before the root canal — I cant chew anything after.

I am in endless pain.”

All this needless torture being caused JUST for money.

Dentist on reddit:

“Every filling ever will need to be replaced.

Every root canal ever will eventually fail.

Thats just dentistry.”

Nauseous.

Theyre so nonchalant in their soulless sociopathy.

Soulless sociopaths:

•Dentistry industrial complex

•Oncological/cancer industrial complex

•OTC medication industrial complex

•Pharmaceutical industrial complex

•Psychiatric industrial complex

•Rheumatological industrial complex

•Hematological industrial complex

•Neurological industrial complex

•Gynecological industrial complex

•Snack industrial complex

•Soda industrial complex

•Fast food industrial complex

•Chain restaurant industrial complex

•Alcohol industrial complex

•Frozen food industrial complex

Soulless evil capitalist sociopathic fucks.

Reddit:

“I am living in terror.

I was told the root canal would be a permanent fix.

Now, I need a retreatment — a second root canal.

The first time was so bad — to need a second one is a thousand times worse.

I am absolutely devastated.”

Reddit:

“I need multiple root canal retreatments.

Im besides myself.

I was told the root canal was a done deal!

I am breaking down every single day in tears.”

Soulless sociopathic fucks.

Reddit:

“I am living in root canal retreatment absolute terror.

I barely made it through my first root canal.

I was weeping afterwards in the sitting room.

I barely lasted the two hour procedure & completely broke down the moment it was over.

I actually had to beg the dentist to stop during the root canal so I could compose myself while I had a panic attack.

My anxiety leading up to the retreatment is absolutely crippling.

I dont know how or if I will make it through a second root canal.”

Pure evil.

Reddit:

“I couldnt breathe through my nose.

I couldnt swallow with the dental dam on.

I had a panic attack and sobbed.

The dentist wouldnt give me a break.

It was a living actual literal nightmare.

For two hours, I suffered.

I wanted to interrupt the dentist or beg him to stop.

But I was too hesitant to.

So, I sat & suffered in absolute terror & dread for two hours.”

Soulless.

How can you do this to human beings?

Knowing theres another option.

Knowing theres holistic, biologic, biomimetic dentistry that is naturopathic not allopathic.

Knowing there are alternative treatments like oxidization & better imaging like 3D cone rays.

How can dentists be so endlessly cruel?

ADA’s own blog refers to the problem as “creative diagnoses”.

Dentists make no money from cleanings so they FIND problems where they dont exist.

Its also called, Fill bill & drill.

My dentist tried to do this to me yesterday & very casually said I needed a “root canal & crown”.

I am 43 — aside from a few cavities that were filled & impacted wisdom teeth removed at 19 — I have never had any other work done.

My dentist dismissed my concerns, briefly pointed towards my Xray, said that a previous cavity I had filled was approaching the nerve.

Root canal & crown end of story.

No, I dont think so — I have already stopped taking prescription medication for arthritis and instead use CBD cream, heat pads, yoga, walking.

I self regulate my emotions through shadow work, somatic work, subconscious work, breathwork, energy work, reiki, movement, journalling, art, being in nature, etc.

I dont take any OTC medications but sometimes have debilitating pressure headaches that cause sensitivity to light & noise & sinus pain. I turn off all lights, I always have a completely silent environment during the day all week inside my apartment, I get off my phone & Macbook, I go for a walk, spend time in nature, do yoga, make herbal tea, drink water.

If I feel like I have a cold, I take organic cough drops, eat hot broth, rest, walk outside, herbal tea, lots of water. I dont take any OTC medication.

When my period cramps & lower back hurt, I drink tea & water & use heat packs. I dont take OTC medication.

I questioned why my teeth would be any different and was pleasantly surprised to see that holistic dentists exist that shared my disgust over root canals and the state of dentistry and the rest of the western medical industrial complex.

I found an Usui reiki master, holistic dentist with her PhD from Rutgers who is also a tarot card reader that focused on minimizing sugar intake & dietary changes - diet & lifestyle, brushing flossing mouth guards if grinding is an issue pulling oil - maintaining dental health as well as regular check ups - preventative proactiveness.

She also utilizes 3D cone xrays, not limited 2D & does alternative treatments like oxidization and her stated goal on her website is for patients to realize they have the power to heal themselves and she only assists when absolutely medically necessary and takes a minimal approach to any kind of interventions.

The opposite of “modern dentistry” and the modern medical industrial complex that feeds itself off of pain, misery, lies & death.

Reddit:

“The reason I have to go back for a second root canal is there was a broken instrument left inside the tooth during the first root canal.

I am depressed & filled with terror.”

They make money torturing people & lying to them & accusing anyone who exposes them of “fake science” & “quack dentistry”.

Dental drills;

•800k rpm = 13k HZ

•Limit of human hearing is 20k HZ.

Theres NOTHING normal about dental drilling aka TORTURE.

Theres a reason even just the SOUND of a drill sets you on edge & frays your nerves.

Its DESIGNED to do that or it wouldnt be approaching the fucking limits of literal human hearing.

Its supposed to be torturous & unnerving & it absolutely is.

Novacaine does NOTHING to “numb” the sound of the drilling…

You are brainwashed as an American in our capitalist hellhole to accept this torture unquestioningly from childhood because dentists are authoritative figures & questioning them equates to questioning “science” which is never allowed as they get away with hurting people for money by weaponizing empiricism and accusing anyone who exposes them of “quack science”.

Crowns are also fucking awful.

I was told blithely & fucking dismissively yesterday that I “had” to get a root canal & a crown.

Mind you, I was in absolutely zero pain before the appointment.

After an extremely aggressive cleaning with painful scraping, my teeth were sensitive as fuck.

All the receptionists fearmongered the hell out of me.

Its $1700 for the fucking root canal & crown so its like fuck no, you cant “go ahead & make the appointment”.

All four receptionists then told me I may not be in pain now but now that I know I need a root canal, my mind will start to play tricks on me, not to wait until the pain kicks in because it will be unbearable & I will wish I had listened & made the appointment.

No, fuck off. I know what you’re doing. Trying to scare me & rush me into scheduling this.

And no, fuck right off with it. I am going to research this then make a decision.

Despite your best attempts to terrify me into “booking now!”.

Fucking used car salesmen.

Reddit:

“I had a crown done two weeks ago from a large old filling.

I had no pain prior to the crown & Xrays showed zero infection.

Two weeks of wearing temp crowns were pure agonizing hell on earth.

I ate pain meds like candy. Couldnt chew on my right side at all.

I just had my crown seated & it was absolutely agonizing.

I had to beg to be numbed just so the dentist could finish the procedure.

I bled a lot with the local anesthesia.”

They keep your jaw wide open for 2 full hours during root canal, no breaks.

Redditors are saying their jaws locked, endlessly spasmed.

Then the dentist acts like youre crazy if you ask for a break.

Thats the gag.

God man this is so fucking dark.

Completely fucking inhumane.

Root canals also cause serious & often irrevocable harm to periodontal ligaments.

I was warned of exactly NONE of this yesterday because they just wanted my fucking money.

Worst story on Reddit:

This woman on reddit had NO pain or discomfort. She was told she needed 4 root canals. Second root canal, she couldnt chew or close her mouth for five days AND HAD TO SLEEP WITH A SOCK IN HER MOUTH so as to not bite down in her sleep or cause pressure.

Weeks later, she was still unable to chew or close her mouth all the way after root canal & crown placement. She wore a splint for two weeks, absolutely zero relief. She is unable to bite down or close her mouth all the way without debilitating agonizing pain.

For two months! She has been unable to chew food on the left side or close her mouth all the way.

Dentist ordered Xrays & there are zero signs of infection — she is STILL being told to do yet ANOTHER root canal!

When do we question authority as brainwashed capitalist lemmings indoctrinated in the K through 12 conditioning centers?

When is enough enough?

They are torturers!

Above Redditor in comment to her own post:

“How do I not offend my dentist? I dont want to seem like I am telling someone how to do their job & suggest I dont need the root canal redone but I dont have another $1200 to pay out of pocket.

I hate to be difficult & I rarely complain but this has sincerely been the most trying ordeal of my life.

The anxious child inside of me feels like I am being s bother and I am literally one of thousands of pateintd my dentist has and I am afraid to speak up.”

A lifetime of subliminal brainwashing, conditioning, indoctrination, unquestioning obedience to authority.

Root canals can also lead to infections that eat the bone away. Necessitating oral surgery and a bone graft for missing bone.

Bone infection from root canal can lead to osteomyelitis which is an infection that can spread to your brain and be fatal.

Yet all my dentist told me yesterday is: Going to drill — yes or no, has decay reached nerve — If so, then have to do a root canal, place crown — Will book it for root canal just in case.

Motherfuck you.

Bone infections are actually quite common after a root canal. Bacteria moves in from the apex (end of the root) left behind after a root canal and that bacteria then grows and eats away at the bone.

This world is insane.

Somehow, all of this is “normal” and people make “jokes” about scheduling root canals on vacation & root canals being a picnic & walk in the park.

Youre being lied to & tortured — what the fuck is “funny”?

After root canals, many people report excruciating sinus pain & infections, migraines, constant headaches, jaw pain, facial swelling & pain after root canals.

Whats an alternative?

Holistic, biologic, biomemetic, naturopathic dentistry.

Get into it babes.

As I already stated — 3D conal Xray vs limited 2D Xray that traditional allodentists use — full picture of tooth, nerve, decay, gums, etc.

Holistic integrative evaluation of you as a person NOT just your teeth — many diseases can mimic or mirror symptoms for periodontal issues so a thorough thinking approach is required.

Diet suggestions to minimize sugar intake in beverages, soda, juice, candy, sweet treats, baked goods, dessert. Lifestyle changes to emphasize exercise, daily movement & overall health — NOT just your teeth.

Maintenance suggestions to ensure daily brushing, flossing, pulling oil, mouthwash, mouthguards for teeth grinding are consistently being done.

Preventative measures scheduling patients for regular checkups to take a proactive approach to monitoring their teeth & overall health.

Bit different then scrape, floss, fluoride, Xrays, bill for something — crowns, fillings, root canals, veneers, deep cleaning, something anything.

Dentists cause all this suffering on purpose just for money…

You think the ADA doesnt have the info that Ive pulled up just from yesterday?

Why did they force Netflix to pull the documentary?

Fucking please.

It would have fucked up their business model.

What does a dentist have to say about the NICO lesions I mentioned earlier?

Something something quack dentistry pseudoscience.

Whatever you have to say to keep torturing people.

What a dystopian hell hole this place — reality — “existence” — modern society is.

Dentistry is Inhuman. Inhumane. Insane. Sickening.

Why didnt our ancestors get tortured endlessly by dentists???????

Google:

“Sudanese people 2k years ago prevented cavities by eating purple nutsedge plant.”

High sugar modern diets is what necessitates brushing & flossing — our ancestors did NOT do that.

As always, in capitalism, profits over people

Google:

“Fewer than 1% of Sudanese teeth from 2k years ago studied by anthropologists had any signs of tooth decay.

Egyptians developed first toothbrush in 3000 BCE which was a frayed twig.

Early humans are low carb paleo diets and anthropological studies reveal almost no plaque or tooth decay from only utilizing plants and twigs.

What changed?

Our modern diets are overly processed, high in sugar which creates acid in the mouth and erodes teeth, low nutritional value, acidic carbonated drinks like soda which demineralizes teeth & erodes enamel as does candy and other sweets, baked goods and desserts contain sugars and starches that create acids that attack the enamel of your teeth.

Ancient humans ate mostly fibrous, low carb, high nutrient, paleo diets — beneficial for teeth & digestion.

Fiber contains properties that naturally fight bacteria & prevent plaque from forming on teeth.

High nutrients & minerals kept their teeth & gums strong & helped immune system fight off infections.”

Dont get a fucking root canal!

Stop going to traditional dentists!

Go to a holistic, biologic & biomemetic naturopathic dentist!

Save yourself from the above misery, pain & totally & completely unnecessary torture!

Look it up yourself.

And stop blindly believing…anyone.

Much less “medical professionals” financially incentivized to fucking HURT YOU for PROFIT.

Wake the fuck up.

Toothpaste Truths: Separating Fact from Fiction by Dr. Jeffrey Henneberg - Smile Source Spokane - Valley

Toothpaste is an essential part of our daily routine, but do we really know the truth about it? Over time, several misconceptions have spread, leading people to believe things that aren’t entirely accurate. Dr. Jeffrey Henneberg of Smile Source Spokane - Valley is here to clear up some of the most common misunderstandings about toothpaste and help you make better choices for your oral health.

Misconception 1: More Toothpaste Means Cleaner Teeth

Ever seen a toothpaste commercial where they cover the entire brush with toothpaste? In reality, you don’t need that much! The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends a pea-sized amount for adults and just a rice-sized smear for children under three. Using too much can lead to excessive foam, making it harder to brush properly.

Misconception 2: Whitening Toothpaste Works Like Magic

Many people expect whitening toothpaste to magically transform their teeth overnight. While these toothpastes help remove surface stains, they don’t change the natural color of your teeth instantly. The best results come from long-term use combined with good oral hygiene and professional cleanings.

Misconception 3: Natural Toothpaste is Always the Best Choice

Natural products are great, but not all natural toothpaste options contain fluoride, which is crucial for cavity prevention. If you’re considering switching to natural toothpaste, make sure to check the ingredients and consult your dentist to ensure it meets your oral health needs.

Misconception 4: Fluoride Toothpaste is Unnecessary if Your Water is Fluoridated

Fluoride in drinking water does help protect teeth, but it’s not a substitute for fluoride toothpaste. Brushing with fluoride toothpaste adds an extra layer of protection, helping to remineralize enamel and prevent cavities.

Misconception 5: Expired Toothpaste Still Works Fine

Toothpaste has an expiration date for a reason! Over time, fluoride loses its effectiveness, and the texture may change. Using expired toothpaste may not give your teeth the protection they need, so it’s best to replace it when it expires.

Misconception 6: Foam Equals Effectiveness

Many people think the foamier the toothpaste, the better it cleans. But that’s not true! Foam is created by detergents like sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), and while it might feel satisfying, it doesn’t actually make the toothpaste more effective. Some great toothpaste options, especially those for sensitive teeth, produce little to no foam but still do an excellent job of cleaning and protecting your teeth.

The Bottom Line

"At Smile Source Spokane - Valley, we believe that patient education is key to achieving optimal oral health,” says Dr. Jeffrey Henneberg. “Understanding the facts about toothpaste can help people make informed choices and maintain healthier smiles."

By debunking these misunderstandings, you can make better decisions for your dental health. If you’re unsure about which toothpaste is best for you, consult your dentist for personalized recommendations.

Ein Zahnarztbesuch in der Türkei IST KEINE gute Option für diejenigen, die eine erschwingliche Lösung für ihre Zahnprobleme suchen. Immer hinter dem Versprechen eines günstigen Preises verbirgt sich eine dunklere Realität.
