[@dancinglawn2000]

I have gotten crowns on some of my teeth and a couple of times the bite didn’t feel right. It felt like I was hitting that tooth first. I went to the dentist and she filed it until the bite was right and felt right. She said a small variation in bite like that can cause issues long term. It can be important to not hyper focus on small things but some times that sense is in fact correct and needs proper addressing and not setting aside.

[@seandmoore6922]

Nailed it.

[@kittylagrace1128]

I came here looking for this. It felt like minimizing and dismissing of what could be an actual imbalance.

[@rosiexoxposie]

I hope he went back to the dentist and got it fixed.

[@Dalupin702]

I was at Legoland, took a bite out of a soft “apple fry,” and got what was probably a microscopic chip in my front tooth. That chip consumed my mind for the rest of our trip and my tongue rubbed it constantly. I don’t think I’m autistic, lol, but I was so perplexed by a soft item chipping a tooth, that the “why” consumed me. I went to the dentist when we got home, and he couldn’t even see it. He did shave it for my sanity. He barely shaved it. 😂😅😂

[@billcostello-lu1xd]

So glad they fired you from Jeopardy.

[@daprovocateur]

I love everything about this episode. Who needs guests!? Y’all are interesting enough!

[@juless7807]

I worked as a dental professional for 15 years. Tooth chips always feel much bigger than they look. Think about how uncomfortable it is getting a large piece of food in between your teeth is. Now, think about how "big" that piece of food would have to actually be. Also, it's totally normal if a filling (bond, as you called it) is high in your bite for it to be uncomfortable - all your biting pressure is hitting that little spot first. Your teeth fit together in a very precise way for good reason. Don't give it a week - call your dentist and get it adjusted!! It will continue to be uncomfortable, it may become painful, and it could adversely affect that tooth or others! High fillings happen, even to good dentists, and are very easy to fix!!!

[@sandymosley9550]

This is me dealing with my students every day. So many other things need to be addressed before the learning can begin. Perception is everything.

[@marisamartinezolivera]

How I enjoy the episodes with only the both of you! As always, a good topic and such terrificly funny episode! To me, it’s your Hanukkah gift to all of us! 🕎✡️ Blessed be all you at MBB team: Mayim, Jonathan, Valerie, Scott… I do hope you, Mayim, had a great birthday! 💜 Btw, an Enneagram Type 2 (The Helper) here!

[@Wonderish]

As a person who has had a ton of dental work, I would definitely recommend you go back in and have adjustments done. Dental work can 100 percent affect your bite and cause jaw pain and headaches. They can sand down the filling to match your bite usually without even needing to numb you. Listening to your body is important.

[@marinac9339]

This was a great episode! I love the interaction between the two of you!

Wishing you Happy and Safe Holidays!! ~Monica Edit: Mayim, I love the way you scientifically yet in a nurturing way explain the possible reasons for Jonathan's response to the chipped tooth incident as I would have likely reacted the same way (highly sensitive and thinking). I hope to remember your words next time I'm in this type of situation. Hang in there Jonathan. I get it.

[@angieallen4884]

Wonderful fun and games episode! I didn't have an hour and a quarter to watch the whole episode in one sitting so I broke it down into 20 minutes segments so it took me awhile to get it all but really enjoyed it and that explains the several comments as opposed to one long one. You guys are great!

[@sweingold5686]

This was FUN and informative. I love listening to you and Jonathan discuss things.

[@orland0110]

This is a really interesting topic. Much love to you Mayim! ❤

[@jflowj]

Really enjoying this. I took the Zodiac quiz and scored highest in my 3 corresponding signs (moon, sun, ascendant). Fun. Also, you two are more adorable than ever 🫶🏼

[@birdie_719]

When he said he chipped his tooth in the beginning of this episode and had no recollection of how that happened, my first thought was that he was grinding his teeth at night. My husband grinds his teeth at night and has TMJ. He has lost several teeth due to this. Stress is is the cause to this tension. I am actually fascinated by this fact because I never really understood why he did it at night. I used to do it as a kid but I stopped.

[@SouthpawElbowJabber]

Thank you for exploring and linking the different personality tests. I find your work here to be extremely valuable and fun! 💕 I'm also a Sag!

TMJ night clencher here! 🖐🏼 I woke up with my jaw dislocated because of it. Dr thought someone punched me because of the damage that was done. I wear a mouth guard at night to protect my teeth from chips and cracks now. I go through a mouth guard about every 3yrs. Morning migraines are normal. #yagirlgotstressissues

[@colleenmasse9368]

I thoroughly enjoyed this one. It was great hearings some personal insight from both of u. 😊❤

[@astroailis5215]

I'm an astrologer and pulled your chart while watching this, and Cancer and Scorpio really make sense to me. Your North Node, which represents your soul's mission, is in Scorpio and in the 4th house, which is ruled by Cancer and represents home and family. When I read charts, the North Node is one of the 5 major things I start with in a chart. You also have an aspect configuration (a specific set of angles/relationships between 3 or more planets) called a Yod pointed right at it. Yod comes from the Hebrew word for "Finger of God", and you have another one pointed at your Midheaven or MC, which represents how you appear to the public and "career". People with Yods in their charts are called to serve something greater than themselves, and usually have an intense sense of this from a young age. Like you said, there's many layers to astrology, and I could go on and on about why your results make sense from an astrological point of view just based on this test. But you've had your chart read, so this is mostly for anyone looking in the comments and is curious why a Sagittarius would have these results 🤘🌌

[@astroailis5215]

And to the Aquarius note, your Descendant (opposite your rising/ascendant) is in that sign, which is what you look for in other people (among many other things) so I can see why this the type of person you strive to be.

[@astroailis5215]

I also do ancestral astrology, and the correlations in family members charts, which is super fascinating and enlightening.

[@lovingmayberry307]

[@dak217]

Mayim, I am so happy to hear that you are into enneagrams. I am very open minded, but I thought that most scientific people don’t believe in numerology. Thanks for making it okay for me. 💜

[@gabbyyak2080]

I LOVE the Enneagram!

[@nancya7289]

Interested to hear you describe the enneagram as numerology. That isn't my understanding -- which doesn't mean that I'm right!

Also, I really love these videos with just the two of you ❤❤

[@kimstrandberg9529]

Sag is just where your sun is - sun can represent your career and also your father. Where your moon sits can represent your mother and your intuition and emotions. Your rising sign is typically more specific to you. Plus where all the planets sit in your personal chart will affect all the others that they make aspects too. I appreciate that you both , as a super intelligent, articulate people were open and gave space for astrology. It’s a super complex ancient craft. Thank you🙏❤

I took the 4 Tendencies test and I am an Obliger, too! I actually liked the book by Gretchen Rubin. I love taking personality tests; just to remind myself I have one! One of my favorite rubrics is "The Color Code" by Taylor Hartman. Of course, I tested as "the most difficult" Red/Blue (power/relationship) combo. I can never remember all my initials for the Myers/Briggs assessment but I am an introvert. Love your program.

The zodiac quiz is one I will do soon. I’ll do all three but definitely the zodiac. I was born in Gemini. I don’t feel like much of a Gemini generally. I was also born three weeks early. What Mayim was describing about Cancer sounds more like me. I don’t remember what the other signs in my birth chart are atm

[@yurdahal]

This was a great episode. While I was listening, I checked from internet your horoscope and your sagittarius sun is in the fourth house and this can make you in some ways like cancer, also having jupiter (ruler of ♐️) conjuncts your Moon gives you also an extra cancer flavor. 🙏🏻

First, I believe the term is cattywampus. 😬 Second, if the bond is truly altering your bite or bothering you, go back to the dentist and have them check the bond/bite (they do it with a kind of graphite paper) and they can adjust it with filing.

[@angieallen4884]

Surprise surprise: Gretchen Rubin is an upholder. My daughter is an upholder. So exhausting. I thought, at first, that upholder is how we should all be (the goal) but with more thought, realized that all 4 tendencies are valuable in society. Without folks to rebel and/or ask questions, how much progress would we make?

Used to work in the dental field. Jonathan has a high spot on the tooth, and the dentist can fix it in 5 minutes. If it's off, it legitimately hurts. Have mercy on the poor man!

[@NoteFromSELF]

I've been down more than one Mayim Bialik rabbit hole. I love how well she knows herself. At least it seems. I love that she speaks her mind knowing it might be controversial and also knowing her reasoning and knowledge and/or principle. Then people (non-headline only readers) learn why she believes what she believes. She's logical.

[@vanessawhitneypro]

Wow. Why am I Mayim on the Astrological Questions and Jonathan on the Indigo Child questions...?! Love You Both! xo

[@ellariel7457]

My dentist has always used “bite paper” when repairing an occlusive surface. It’s sort of like mouth-friendly carbon paper. It’s placed between the upper and lower bite surfaces. Patient then lightly bites down and then grinds the teeth across paper, which leaves marks on the tooth. The dentist can then grind down the hit surfaces until both sides are even. It generally does take a few days to “attenuate” after an oral/dental change. However, if he’s still having problems and especially if he feels his bite is uneven side to side, it might be worth a trip to dentist to have the surfaces re-ground. (If you want it removed entirely, though - yes, they’ll have to grind it off, and because the bondjng had to cover not only the chip, but the tooth around it, to which it attaches, you’ll have a bigger “boo boo” than the chip that began it all. Hope this helps - or even more so, that you’ve now long since attenuated and are now chewing happily once again. 😀

[@beeheart6529]

Mayim is right about the tooth. And she handled that with total kindness and understanding.

[@nancya7289]

The most exciting moment of the episode for me was when Mayim talked about loving the enneagram. Is there an episode where she discusses her enneatype and the enneatest? I'm going to guess that Mayim's a 6 with a 5 wing. Salutations from a sista Sagittarian

[@19alca]

She mentioned that she is 4 in episode with Alanis Morisette.

[@AnnaMiluska1]

I have the chipped tooth experience. I found it difficult not to focus on the chipped tooth. So I understand. I would recommend speaking with your dentist. He probably can file the raised tooth to help with your bite.

[@HolisticToothFairy]

Great episode! But I want to know which tooth did Jonathan chip? One of the left incisors? There's a sort of personality test for teeth, where each adult tooth represents an archetype. (The Secret Lives of Teeth)

I really enjoyed this episode especially when I figured out "bond" was being said and not "bong". LOL

[@michellerusnell1702]

I work in dental. Even the smallest unevenness can feel huge and cause pain in the jaws. A simple bite adjustment with your dentist will fix it. It will not wear down on its own. They will likely use articulating paper (blue paper) to show the high spot and they will polish it until it's even.

[@michellerusnell1702]

It shouldn't be down played. It can cause long term damage if not addressed.

[@kenmc1601]

Tooth, I had a crown put in. My bite changed. I went back , described the fault and they shaped it to fit me better. All good now. On the point of resisting doing things asked of a person, if you have not already, investigate Pathological Demand Avoidance as an ancillary aspect of Autism.

[@melissaskinner2199]

I came to comment the same thing about PDA profile of autism. That is exactly what the rebel tendency is describing.

[@zachpelletier]

I’ve always wondered if there is any merit to the personality traits as described by astrology, but instead of stemming from astrological position, are instead attributed to relativity to certain important events. How does being born so close to big holidays affect your relationship with your birthday and thus the culture of celebrating yourself? What is the first season you can remember experiencing, and would being born earlier have shifted that? Data of that sort interests me far more than knowing where the planets were

[@bitchenboutique6953]

I was trying to answer the questions and so many of them I found myself over-analyzing and obsessing over answering them “correctly.” I’m such a mess. 😂

[@erin723]

I’m torn. Johnathan’s experience is valid and real. And as a person with sensory issues I can imagine the unpleasantness J is experiencing. It’s fucked up. But that does not equal a problem. I have TMD and regularly have to adjust my perception of the way my teeth “fit” together. This problem is directly correlated with my C1/C2 alignment which is the primary source of my chronic pain and migraines. I can’t eat a salad, which sounds innocent but requires a shit ton of chewing. Forget it, I’m fucked. As long as I have my practitioner who can re-align me I choose to accept certain challenges. Dental appt? Get realigned. Yawn unexpectedly, get realigned. I’ve recently opted to pretend I didn’t just fuck up my filling because I can’t care enough to return to the dentist. Pain stopped after 7-10 days so I’m “good to go.” What was the question?! 😂

[@mdaddy775]

Not to exacerbate any innate narcissism but... You should've won Emmys for playing Amy!

[@think4myself]

Do an episode on NVC. Mayim is focused on intellectualizing/assessing J's tooth chip experience when he is likely needing to be seen, to be understood, to have a shared reality, to be attuned to and empathized with. NVC is about feelings and needs. Both of you are wanting understanding and empathy.

I grind my teeth in my sleep. The reports on stress causing grinding are out there, but there are very few reports on how one will often "massage" their sinuses by pushing/moving/grinding their canines.
