Can I Use an Electric Toothbrush with Dental Implants? The Ultimate Guide by Scottsdale Dentist

Introduction:

Dental implants have become a popular choice for replacing missing teeth, thanks to their durability and natural-looking appearance.

What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are an effective and long-lasting solution for missing teeth. They are artificial tooth roots made of titanium that are surgically placed into the jawbone.

5 Fun Ways to Teach Your Kid to Brush Their Teeth

5 Fun Ways To Teach Your Kid To Brush Their Teeth

Teaching your kids to brush their teeth can be a daunting task, but it doesn't have to be! 

At Capture Life Dental Care, we believe that making oral hygiene fun and engaging is key to developing good habits that will last a lifetime. 

In this blog, we'll share our top 5 fun ways to teach your kid to brush their teeth, from silly songs to interactive games.

1. The Brushing Boogie

Who says brushing teeth has to be boring? Create a fun and catchy song to sing while your kid brushes their teeth! You can make up your own lyrics or use a popular tune and adapt it to fit the theme. 

For example: "Brush, brush, brush your teeth, get those cavities to retreat!" Singing and dancing while brushing will make the experience more enjoyable and create a positive association with oral hygiene.

2. The Toothbrush Treasure Hunt

Turn brushing teeth into a treasure hunt! Hide your kid's toothbrush in a different spot each day, and give them clues to find it. 

This game not only makes brushing teeth more exciting but also encourages problem-solving and critical thinking. You can even create a treasure map to lead them to the hidden toothbrush!

3. The Brushing Buddy System

Assign a brushing buddy to your kid, such as a stuffed animal or favorite toy. This buddy will "brush" their teeth alongside your kid, making the experience more enjoyable and interactive. You can even create a backstory for the buddy, such as "Mr. Whiskers loves to brush his teeth to keep them strong and healthy!"

4. The Timer Challenge

Make brushing teeth a challenge! Set a timer for the recommended 2 minutes, and challenge your kid to brush every tooth before the timer goes off. 

You can even offer rewards for completing the challenge, such as stickers or small treats. This game teaches your kid the importance of brushing for the full 2 minutes and makes the experience more engaging.

5. The Storytelling Session

Create a story while your kid brushes their teeth, using their imagination to explore different scenarios. 

For example, "You're a brave knight, and your toothbrush is your trusty sword. You must defeat the evil Plaque Dragon and save the kingdom of Healthy Teeth!" This game encourages creativity and makes the brushing experience more enjoyable.

Conclusion

In conclusion, teaching your kid to brush their teeth doesn't have to be a chore. By incorporating fun and interactive elements, you can make oral hygiene a positive and enjoyable experience. 

At Capture Life Dental Care, we're dedicated to helping your kid develop good oral hygiene habits that will last a lifetime.

I'm am BEGGING you if you're chronically ill or disabled or always exhausted or mentally ill, PLEASE do all you can to brush your teeth every day. Switch to disposable sponge brushes if the texture of even soft toothbrushes are sensory hell. Ask someone to help you if you can't move your arms. Keep an ear out for free or visiting dental care if you can't get dental insurance. Do the bare minimum of brushing your teeth, even if you don't have the stamina to floss after or can't tolerate mouthwash. If you can't stick to a routine then brush your teeth as soon as you remember, no matter the time of day. Keep your toothbrush visible in your bathroom so you remember it's there as you wash your hands. Keep a pack of one-time disposable brushes by your bedside if you're too fatigued or depressed to leave your bed or room. Just find SOME WAY to keep your teeth intact.

Once you lose your adult teeth, that's it they're gone forever. I spent almost my entire life too apathetic or too tired to take proper and consistent care of my teeth, and not even counting my infected and impacted wisdom teeth, I've already had one regular tooth completely removed because it was excruciatingly infected and my meager dental coverage wouldn't cover a two THOUSAND dollar root canal, and now I've got a shattered tooth on the other side with crumbling remains that periodically get infected and I'm going to have to have what left of the roots extracted too. And because of my neurological condition and my intestinal diseases necessitating frequent MRIs/MREs, I can't get dental implants because they use metal screws. I'm only thirty-one and at this rate I'm looking at dentures before I'm fifty.

I know the future often seems bleak for people like us so sometimes it feels liberating to not care about the future or take care of ourselves to see it, but the future IS coming, you WILL find a way to stick around for it, and you ARE going to want your teeth as you make it that far and further.

Franky tickle headcanons

hello everyone! this is a request from the lovely @aceofspades-doodles, whos ask was unfortunately eaten by tumblr so I’m so sorry that this is so late 😭 I hope you like them and I hope you feel better soon! I’m so happy to be your friend <3

I honestly see him as just a ler

it’s not like he’s not ticklish anywhere, it’s just that he’s so big he’s…hard to catch off guard

and he’s a cyborg so most of him is metal

the only people I see being able to get away with is is Robin and Luffy due to their devil fruits

I say his most ticklish spot is his neck or his chin/jawline

his laugh is pretty deep, but it’s also light too if that makes sense?

a VERY goofy ler, he’s one of those who enjoys verbally teasing you

“What’s so funny huh. Why are you laughing so much?”

Being what he is, he has a lot of different tools at his fingertips

usually he’ll just use his fingers, but sometimes he’ll implant feathers or electric toothbrushes in his hands

He does care a lot about his friends, so if you ask him to stop he will

He doesn’t want to push you too far

he also won’t judge you if he finds out you actually like it

he thinks it’s suuuuper!

Today is permanent crown day. They were able to get the perm back from the lab a week early so I don't have to deal with a temp and then a followup perm. I'm so excited about the prospect of being able to eat solid food or drink hot or cold liquids without shooting pain that I don't even care that I will be numb and in pain for an evening following its placement.

Try to keep your teeth, folks. Even if you have bad teeth. No matter what's going on with them, there's probably something that can help (electric toothbrush, interdental brush, waterpick, etc) and even if things are already bad, you can keep them from getting worse. It's better to have a filling in every tooth than to have a bunch of crowns and implants like me.

Last week Mom had a very low heart rate while having physical therapy. This led to a lovely 5 star priced hospital stay. This vacation extravaganza came with an excursion to the surgical wing where she received a lovely MICRA pacemaker. I assume it's lovely, you can't really see it. They really should offer you the opportunity to get a tattoo of the item implanted so you can show it off. I'll mention it to patient services when they ask us to fill out the resort survey.

Just like any other luxury resort stay, you get an assortment of parting gifts - toothbrush, toothpaste, mouthwash, lovely colorful non-skid socks (bright yellow!) And this last week had a special souvinier offering. - Covid!

Champaign wishes and caviar dreams!

hey, about your kiddo with the cavities. Genuinely that can happen for any number of reasons, don't feel bad. You can do various preventive things for it but there cash be anything from their individual mouth chemistry to genetics going on. You're an awesome parent just for bringing them in on time! you'd be shocked how many people don't even do that. source: family in dental.

Thank you (and @jadesabre301 and everyone else who indulged my mom guilt pity party) for the kind words :)

My background’s also in medicine, of course, so rationally I know Q probably just inherited her dad’s teeth/saliva chemistry/bad dental luck. I had a lot of orthodontia but no cavities until I suddenly needed a root canal in my late 30s- and even that wasn’t from a cavity, apparently- but my poor husband’s got a mouth full of dental implants after a lifetime of bad teeth.

I do watch her more closely now with brushing, but it’ll be what it is- thankfully I think the experience was Not Fun enough that she understands better WHY we fuss at her so much about toothbrushing now…

So without getting into what a garbage bag of a human Elon Musk is, and also how he isn't smart, doesn't have an engineering degree, isn't an inventor, etc etc...

i see the headline that his neuralink brain chip has been implanted into the first human brain. (NPR) (Al Jazeera)

OK and without getting into the dodgy ethics of this even apart from all the dead monkeys, like a LOT of dead monkeys... (like holy shit it's at least 12 monkeys and over 1,500 animals including sheep, pigs, and monkeys) (like OMG HOLY SHIT they don't even keep precise records on the numbers of animals tested and killed?? this is monstrously immoral) (source)

left unchecked i worry this is going to end like Dollhouse. (a 15 year old TV series you should watch, which doesn't have any monkeys) and why is Musk doing all this? that answer is in The Fall of the House of Usher (a recent streaming series you should watch, although there are definitely monkeys in it).

(semi related on the recommendation of my dentist i bought an electric toothbrush. damn thing wants to be bluetooth paired to its app. an app!! it's a fucking toothbrush it doesn't need to be connected to jack shit.)

anyways, everything Musk touches goes to shit (or goes up in flames) so even if there was some timeline where this is a good use of technology and it helps people - he's going to run the company poorly and it will hurt people. just like it's already hurt a ton of animals. where is the independent verification of their claims that the human is "recovering well?" where is the oversight?

GITJ Post 318: Anderson and the Thugs

“Many men seemed ready to give us control. Many were just confused, or ignorant. But I had heard about others.” - Lakshmi Vallurupalli

…

“These simps are just as big a problem as the bitches,” grunted the buzz-cut ex-coast guard Petty Officer as he pushed aside the phone, the picture he was being shown, and went back to cleaning the tip of his firearm with what looked like an olive-green toothbrush, “fawning over these chicks…”

“...Voting for them, letting them do whatever the hell they want,” agreed the gray man holding the phone, sitting alongside on the threadbare couch in the basement of hi-…well, his wife’s family’s…home. He, also, had been working on a rifle, one of the half-dozen or so he’d started to amass in his downstairs armory. She liked to call it his “Man Cave” but haha she had no clue what they were doing, what they were planning. It was currently “Headquarters” or, as Buzzcut would call it, “HQ”. It had everything they needed: lots of room for physical training, internet, a lockable storage area, a separate entrance. And yeah okay a bar and a leather couch and some Bears posters. But it wasn’t just a man cave anymore. This was HQ for Resistance Cell IL5. The gray man took one last glance at the Senator-elect from California’s ass and put the phone away.

In the meantime, Anderson stood, awkwardly, over by the pool table. He’d only just arrived tonight, after spending the past week “on the run”, moving from location to location, sleeping where he could, laying low in case they were after him. He knew he wasn’t safe at his home any longer; his sister Mary Jane was onto him, and had been trying to lure him back. Life had become hard, he was hungry and exhausted, but the Resistance needed him! After some effort, he’d been able to secure a place to stay, here in the basement of a fellow malcontent/freedom fighter with whom he’d been in contact on the forums. He’d been used to living in a basement, so this would be fine even if it did smell like cat pee.

Boxes of what he figured was ammunition lay aside the scattered billiard balls, along with several greasy takeout bags from The Meat Shack and a pile of laundry. Ned apparently always asked to do laundry, when he came over for meetings.

“NED!! WOULD YOU TURN THAT GODDAMN VIDEO GAME OFF?!?” shouted Buzzcut, “We need to talk strategy!!”

Both Anderson and the fifth member of their little group, a tall, rail-thin man of sunken cheeks, nervous eyes and a full mustache, jumped at Buzzcut’s shout. The grey man on the couch barely flinched - he was more concerned about disturbing his wife upstairs, who had work in the morning. Ned - a large, poorly-shaven lump of male sunk into a huge beanbag chair in front of a huge TV screen - didn’t seem to hear anything at all.

“Get him off that thing,” Buzzcut instructed Mustache, obviously irritated but setting down his M40 gingerly. 

After a polite request, a more insistent nudge and then a slap to the side of the head, Ned was finally pulled from his game - which, he claimed, was actually training for when they finally got pulled into action….shooting chicks would be just like shooting vampires or whatever it was he was doing. The television was changed to one of the 24-hour news stations, at which Buzzcut scoffed, and Ned awkwardly twisted his impressive bulk in his beanbag to face the others. Maybe it was Ned that smelled like cat pee?

The five of them discussed what had recently become the chatter on the resistance forums. Buzzcut voiced it himself, here: now that the elections were over, would something else happen to them? Would these implants they’d all been somehow infected with suddenly activate in some new way?

“It’s not implants, I tell you,” insisted the gray man. Buzzcut was good at karate or jujitsu or whatever it was, but he was an idiot about a lot of things, “It’s some kind of virus.”

“I actually think it’s something called a prion,” Anderson spoke up, trying to sound a little less mousy amidst all this testosterone, “the European cells have people th-”

“Wait wait hold up,” Buzzcut stopped him with a raised hand, turning to the television, “We should listen to these cunts…”

The news commentator, a man of unfortunate facial hair, was interviewing a sitting Senator, the woman from New Mexico who all five men knew to be on the Resistance’s ever-growing “list”. She was a handsome, severe woman, and though he seemed obsequious to her she still did not seem to be suffering the fool’s questions lightly. She was taking the airtime opportunity to laud her gender’s new victories, and announce her switch of parties, from Republican to New Woman.

“They’re going to fucking run everything, aren’t they?” Buzzcut grumbled, again picking up and doing something to his firearm.

“Seems that way,” Gray answered, as the Senator continued to speak, “I mean, even before the election, the House and Senate were fucking majority women, but at least they were two different parties. They still fought, like they always did, right?”

“Yeah,” Ned grunted. He’d picked up his fully kitted-out AR-15 and was looking down the barrel.

“But now, all these goddamn women - Senators, Representatives, Democrats, Republicans - they’re all switching parties to New Woman,” Gray continued.

“Like this broad here,” Buzzcut growled, pointing his rifle at the television, “I’ve been hearing about it all day.”

“So even before these new people get sworn in, New Woman is going to have a majority in the House and Senate. They have it already, as of today,” Gray explained, “and when the incoming new electees take office in January, they’ll have overwhelming supermajorities.” It all sort of made Anderson’s head spin; it was happening so fast, just like they’d all feared. It was one thing to predict it, rant about the possibilities. Now that it was here, and things were going down, it was getting, uh, scary. Some people in the movement had gone quiet over these past twenty four hours, others had seemed newly aggrieved and energized, finally called into action. 

“Fucking cunts,” Buzzcutt muttered. 

“They can get some legislation started now, these changes we know they want to make,” the man on the couch continued, “but who knows what they’ll be able to do next year when they have total and absolute control of both houses?”

“And they've got the Presidency, too,” Anderson interjected, as if the group needed reminding that that blonde soccer-mom fitness-chick self-help guru from North Carolina had won in a landslide. 

“Exactly,” Gray agreed, picking up his rifle again and caressing the stock, “they’ve got both the fucking Legislative and Executive Branch. The Judicial Branch…” He looked around; were these people getting it? Ned looked particularly flummoxed. “Like, the court system?” Gray knew that the Supreme Court was already more than fifty-fifty female, and that the men on it were either all very elderly or had been struck strangely frail with recent illness. New appointees would be in the hands of the new Administration, and the lower courts would likely soon follow the Supreme Court into a female-dominated system. It was too complex to explain to these morons here and now, but Jesus these women had it all planned out, didn’t they?!?

“Do you boys want cookies?” came a voice from the top of the basement stairs, “I just made some!”

“Honey n-n-n-not now!” Gray screamed out.

“Okay sweetie I’ll leave them up on the counter if you change your mind!” the woman called, “Have fun with your friends I’m going to bed love you!”

“G-g-g-go to b-b-b-bed!” he yelled. 

Ned and Buzzcut began to laugh. “A-a-a-a-are yuh-you sh-sh-shure?  Y-you c-can h-have muh-milk and c-c-c-cookies?” Buzzcut jided his couchmate, who tended to stutter when speaking to his wife. 

“Yeah you can suck it from her tits,” added Ned, strangely, in his incongruously high voice.

“Don’t joke about that sort of thing,” Anderson muttered, in a quiet aside, horrifying images of what he’d seen at home flashing through his brain. 

Buzzcut was maybe the only one who heard him, and cocked an eyebrow his way but then turning to address Mustache. “Speaking of, we need to know more about this clinical site, this chick in charge - Monroe, is it?”

“Melissa,” added Anderson, feeling his throat tighten. He couldn’t believe they were talking about her, the girl that’d been a really cute freshman, and then THE hot sophomore during his miserable senior year at xxx High. 

“Whatever,” Buzzcut said, addressing Mustache again, “Any more info? You said she’s putting in a pool? In the basement? Hiring more girls?”

Mustache straightened, and brought a nervous comb of fingers through his greasy hair. He’d been working on a construction crew, revamping an office building on the outskirts of the city, and when he’d been told to reach out to and sign up with this group of guys who seemed to think there was some sort of worldwide chick-conspiracy, he was surprised how eagerly they’d taken him in. He was a valuable guy to them, but in his recent state he was a bag of nerves. “Uh….” he stammered. 

“She’s been doing this since high school, I know that,” Anderson interjected, “assembling girls around her, a squad…”

“Uhhh….” Mustache began again, images of the women who’d haunted his dreams and filled his every waking moment with their overwhelming tits ever since…when was it…that party? His memories of these past few weeks were really hazy, to say the least. 

“And now,” Anderson continued, seeing as Mustache was still struggling to find his words, “it sounds like she’s getting her hooks into her boss, the doctor at th-“

“Yeah you’d said that,” Gray stopped him, “And what are you thinking? Can we still get him as another inside guy?”

“I think he’s too brainwashed,” Mustache suddenly spoke up, blurting out what he didn’t know was maybe too much information. Things were so confusing, and he secretly wished he was back at work where it smelled better. 

“Brainwashed, huh?” grumbled Buzzcut, “He’s been compromised? We should do something about that.”

“I..I think he could still be an asset,” Anderson added, nervous that violence was being insinuated, “I’ve been in communication through secure email, and he seems receptive to listening…” He’s actually been ignoring me recently. “I think if we send him some support, reach out to him. There’s two people on the forum who are attorneys who s-“

“Lawyers,” Buzzcut scoffed, echoed by Gray, “I say we go in with guns. He’d listen then.”

“Yeah,” chuckled Ned. 

There was, suddenly, the staccato of rapping on the basement door, the one through which they’d all entered, the one which led to the backyard. 

“Speaking of guns, sounds like the grunts are here,” Buzzcut announced, standing up from the couch as a cocky, satisfied grin stretched across his clean-shaven face. “You turds ready for some Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?”
