0 IQ Kids Who Ruined Their Teeth!

[@inkonic6942]

I just want to say due to suffering depression which made me neglect my teeth, having two broken teeth, and being afraid of the dentist for many years. After I found your channel and watching all your videos learning more about how dentistry and dental health, and your funny personality, I finally got the courage to see a dentist at a dental school. The dentist extracted my broken teeth and I'm going in for a deep cleaning in a couple of weeks. Thank you Bentist for helping me overcome my fear and not let depression make me neglect my health.

Is this a real story and not just a sob story for hits?? Omg if the former, I am SO proud of you; there are so many emotional layers at play that you totally blasted through and it proves you a courageous and quite possibly on a healing journey, now. YOU ARE INSPIRING.

[@inkonic6942]

​@@grumblekin22no I'm being serious, I was scared to go because it gave me anxiety and I had two broken teeth which got worse the more I delayed it. My depression made me not care about my health on top of it. Took me years to get over my fear. I'm just grateful I found this channel. Now I only wish my dentist was as funny as him.😅

Purple food coloring is to stain the tooth a tad bit purple, it neutralizes any yellowing or yellow stains temporarily at least. The baking soda is just basically a cheap toothpaste substitute.

Its interesting how fluorosis makes your teeth super resistant to cavities...it reminds me of the remains of the Ancient city of Pompeii...their teeth were shockingly perfect as there was high levels of fluoride in the soil and water produced by the volcano that murdered them (alongside a low sugar diet)

[@randomthings8732]

@@Kat31017 Weirdly enough, eating a lot of honey and fruit seems to not actually matter as much as western societies say it may be. I'd have to double check to really get my point through but the tldr is, eating a lot of honey and fruit doesnt matter as long as you live the right kind of life style.

I had severe juvenile depression as a child, and one thing I did was chew my nails. I didn't have the tacky-looking fake nails. I just chewed my natural nails until they bled. Thanks to having done that for many years, I now have sliding wear patterns on my incisal edges and marked tooth sensitivity because I have worn through to the dentin. This is No Fun at All, so even if you don't have tacky fake nails, you should still consider some counselling and behaviour mod if you chew your nails obsessively the way I did.

I had a palette expander as a teenager, along with braces, followed by jaw surgery, and retainers. Ever since the palette expander, I've been extra susceptible to brain freeze, so that's annoying. But I also found that my bottom retainer was causing my back teeth to ache constantly, even after consistent wear for multiple years, so I chose to stop wearing it. My bottom front teeth, of course, have rotated sideways some. I get the feeling the crowding is just too bad still. I've had my wisdom teeth removed too (they were completely sideways and buried) and still have pretty bad crowding on the lower teeth. I will say, I used to get a TON more cavities and broken fillings before I had jaw surgery. Turns out, it's not good to only use a couple molars in the back for everything and none of your other teeth.

[@keniad7249]

[@mylifewithmarmalade4624]

The nail thing is also super bad for your nails. A lot of the time it is rooted in people wanting acrylics but being lazy about taking care of them. After about 2-4 weeks (depending on how fast your nails grow and how hard you are on your hands) they start looking a bit rough, but people want to avoid having to go pay more to get them filled (maintained) for as long as possible, but the longer you wait the more likely one or more is to get to the point where you are tempted to pop it off. Problem is that often causes a fair amount of damage to your nail and nail bed. Not uncommon to see horrible infections develop that can have permanent and dire consequences. So, think carefully about if you are willing to do the maintenance before sitting down for a full set. Be honest about the time and money it will take. Do you have the $40+ and a spare hour or two every 2-4 weeks to keep them in great shape? When you decide you’re done with them, will you take the time and spend the money to have them ground down and soaked off safely? If not, then they aren’t for you.

I told my dentist about this channel. He chuckled when I told him about the “Turkey Teeth” reactions.

I know you said the 'expander' thing doesn't hurt, but as someone who had one on the roof of their mouth and from personal experience it is super painful. I don't wish the ache on anyone that you experience a few days after having to crank it. It was an awful experience in high school and my entire braces experience for the years I had them in general was horrendous too. I'm amazed anyone would want them now. Lol.

Thank you bentist. I recently had the start of gingivitis forming in my gums causing some pain and because of your content I knew what to do and wasn't completely scared to make an appointment. I'm ngl I'm scared but also having your content has eased my mind so much. I started an oral hygiene regimine last month when the pain started and My inflammation has steadily started going down. I have my first dentist appointment in a few years this next week. Because of you I have started taking better care of my teeth- brushing twice a day. Flossing and using mouth wash twice a day. I'm truly grateful your content exist because you inform us and make us feel better about our dental issues. I'm so grateful tbh. Because of you I'm probably not gonna lose teeth when otherwise I probably wouldve so thank you :')

[@gtagusta]

13:20 i truly do not understand why any sane person would want braces, its been a while since i last used any, so i dont remember the feeling as vividly as when i used to have them, but one thing i know for sure is that i dont want to use them again, for i still remember the relief i felt when i finally took them off, after you get accustomed with the braces you dont feel it as much, but it really is annoying having this weird structure in your mouth and i only understood how bad it was when i finally took them off

[@anna8833]

17:32 I honestly believe that due to bad orthodontic treatment when i was a kid, they made my jaw defect worse. I couldn't fully close my jaws/mouth because of these retainers, now i developed additionally a long face syndrome, that wasn't even an issue before the treatment... later, i was taken to a different orthodontist where they extracted my healthy tooth and moved and tilted my upper teeth to match my underdeveloped jaw (it was growing down because i couldn't close my mouth for several years). I had speech issues because of this, and recently joint issues. Now I'm on my journey to undo/decompensate what they did to me and finally get a surgery... The pain due to joint issues made me vomit. Luckily, I got an occlusal splint, and it helps, but that's not a long-term solution. Honestly, i wish they left me alone when i was a kid, i might have less issues than i have now, and the journey to get the surgery would be much easier.

[@jukama7671]

You are the first one who explained flurosis to me or said the name. All my dentists just tell me I have beautiful teeth and I'm just nodding in disbelief because I know they are all patchy. My mother was advised to give floride capsules to me when I was a toddler. So thats why I have it.

ONE THING ABOUT GAG REFLEX!!! I tend to have gag reflex since I first get my impression, and now quite a lot when eating weird-textured food.

It has worked ever since, I sincerely hope it works for you too~

i've had old school braces for three years, they ended up expanding my mouth so much that my jaw ligaments are now a bit more loose and there's an empty space near my jaw joints. it gets locked pretty easily and now i can sort of move around my lower jaw over the bones of my upper jaw. so uh, they fixed a problem but they created another

I just want to say too, I’m a kid and I have gotten that teeth mold 3 or 4 times and didn’t gag once. Secondly, there was this one time I was getting a mold and the Orthopedist made too much mold and it reached the far back of my throat, didn’t gag once. He also put it in for a bit too long so it was very hard to get it out but then he finally got it

The old impression kits were disgusting. My dentist, when I was a kid, used to over fill the tray, then tell me not to swallow. When I started gagging, he’d tell me that if I puked he’d just have to start over…. Dude was a sadist and hated kids. So much childhood trauma from him. 14:26. Oral thrush, also known as an oral yeast infection. Anyone who has asthma and uses an inhaler has had thrush at least once. That girl whoever has a very severe case.

The last part which is related to mewing or orthotropics is so interesting to me because I did see my peers with palatal expanders but it was rare like only 1 out of 10 of us would have it. I can confirm myself and others did end up with all those problems later on and made me feel like i just had a bad orthodontist that didn’t think i needed the expander. I’m now on the verge jaw surgery :/ It started as being unable to find someone to recreate my retainer, to tmj- not being to find anyone to make a night guard so i just got OTC to unfortunately seeing x-rays that showed I’m way too late for non invasive procedures. So I wonder why it’s so rare in the orthodontist world to use them (at least back then it was) because i do see how beneficial it was. Also the kids i knew who had the expanders wore their braces way longer than most so that could be why. Tldr! I hope you can talk about this mewing orthotropic thing.. devices and procedures related to it. The first part about braces stains made me sad bc no amount of brushing has ever got rid of them and they’re way more visible as i got older😭 All of this is starting to really make me regret the orthodontist I had..

Speaking of lip ties, one of my baby brothers was born tongue tied. It went all the way to the tip of his tongue. It runs in his dad's (my stepdad's) family. They snipped it right after he was born so he could eat & (later) speak.

15:47 UM as someone who had a pallet expander, it absoLUTEly did hurt 😂 it wasn’t the MOST painful orthodontia I had (that would probably be head gear, mostly bc I had to try and sleep in it) and I don’t say that to scare anyone who might need this- it’s not unmanageable, but it definitely did hurt. And I generally have a pretty high pain threshold, so I don’t think I was being overly dramatic about it

That is so deeply utterly terrifying to me. I'd rather see extreme gore and death videos split-screened with 2girls1cup than a second more of those teeth moving. Also, you claim that the brown staining on the back of one photos teeth is due to nicotine reacting with saliva and causing staining. If that were true, then people who vape with clear liquid or nicotine salts would see the same discoloration. They do not. The stains from smoking are, like with most negative effects from smoking, caused by the tar in cigarette smoke, not the nicotine.

Please read ❤thx So one day I went to the dentist, they recommended me to an orthodontists.. 🦷 we went a week later and we did scans and whatever. She then told me I needed braces, an expander, pallet retainer, and lastly a teeth retainer.. that was a lot of information at one time for me, but I was kinda excited! 😆 in my school it was pretty cool to have braces. 😬 she then told me that I was getting braces and a expander the next month, I had nervous and good thoughts about it. And month came and I got braces and an expander, the expander WAS THE WORST! Because everything got stuck in it and we had too twist it for 20 days or so, that hurt.. when I got my expander off it was worse.. my gums were bloody and hurt lots. My roof of my mouth felt weird and I got to choose my retainer color, I picked blue 🎉 my braces stayed and it gives me cold sours ALL THE TIME.. in my mouth, so yeah that’s my travel so far, let me know things about your experiences! ❤❤

To avoid overcrowding of teeth, give your children tougher food and treats, like a beef jerky consistancy, maybe even dried fruit, for you veggie lovers out there. Also, promote good mouth posture... yes, its a real thing. Proper mouth posture is mouth closed and tongue pressed firmly against the roof of your mouth. Those 2 things are the closest things you can do to "guarantee" straight teeth, proper chin instead of recessed, and a beautiful smile. Its not sure fire 100%, but those two thing will get you and/or your children the best looking teeth and jaw structure that you could have naturally, without medical or orthodontic intervention.

I can speak to stopping chewing nails/finger skin I have dermatillomania, self soothing behavior ever since I was given a thumb guard as a kid and had to find a new thing to do. I would chew my fingerskin I mean all over the tips of my fingers, around the nail, and the nails. I now have craze lines, and hairline cracks on my front teeth The ONLY thing that helped my dermatillomania was proper medication for my mental illness. There, I said it. Nothing else did it and if I change meds, get in a bad state, I can slip up but I have zero desire to do it being properly medicated and treated for my mental health. I hope no one else needs an atypical antipsychotic, mood stabilizer, and antidepressant I would wish needing these on anyone or insinuate all nail biters do. But I have Bipolar disorder and this is my experience
