I just spent $45,500 on implants!!! I’ve inherited bad teeth, and if I can pay off a car, I can pay off my teeth for my future health!

I have just had this done on my top teeth. It is not as bad as expected - I woke up with temporaries (which look great) and have an intensive cleaning regime. The dentist checked me a week later and I am due to back soon for a 2 month check. This cost £12,000 in the UK. I know it would be cheaper abroad but I wanted a dentist nearby.

I'd like to propose a story that deeply touched me and deserves the attention only you can give. It's about Sanda Dia, a young Belgian student who tragically lost his life during a hazing ritual at the Reuzegom student association in 2018. What began as a tradition among students quickly turned into a horrific example of abuse and neglect. Sanda Dia became a victim of humiliating practices that ultimately led to his death. What makes this story so shocking is not only the violent nature of the hazing but also the lack of accountability and transparency in its aftermath. There are allegations of cover-ups and influential individuals trying to conceal the truth. It is crucial that we do not forget the injustice done to Sanda Dia and continue to seek justice.

The chewing sticks is called miswak. They taste a little like sweet like artificial sweetener. You can buy them online. My dad's father was from Morroco where its commonly used, or maybe not as much now, so he would occasionally chew on it in between meals. Edit: Actually, you might be able to find them in natural focused stores and flea market shops.

[@erinawesomeeschwandt4969]

My first thought was that she was describing the sweet gum tree. We have them in the southeast and they were once used by the native Americans as a toothbrush of sorts

[@selenasmith7943]

I should add that it's not necessarily chewing that does the cleaning, but we would chew it to reveal the brush like strands and then brush like a tooth brush. And he would always get flavored miswak

Before he could numb the other side of my mouth a whole church service of people started in the office so we had to reschedule the appointment for when the service was over. Lol

Amalgam fillings (the silver ones) that they put in your mouth still have some mercury in them & are still approved by the American Dental Association. There is a dentist in Connecticut that wrote an entire book on this and had a gag order put on him by the ADA. This is still real. My Mom went through having her fillings removed because of poisoning.

[@shelbyg-washyourownbrain4542]

This is true.

[@ErinFindsHerWay]

[@onagalvan517]

If nothing is wrong with the filling or tooth, it’s usually better to just leave the amalgam. You get WAY more mercury exposure during the removal process then you would just keeping it. And every time a filling had to be redone more and more tooth structure needs to be removed.

[@jessjnojno8022]

Idk if you’ve done it already. But you should do a dark history on tattoos!!!

[@Hiiiiiiiiieeee]

So I’m saying this as somebody who has multiple tattoos, I genuinely wonder if getting tattoos causes auto immune issues or some other health issues down the road. I know so many tattoo artists that are covered or just people that have a ton of them and they all seem to have Major health issues. And I have developed more strange health issues after my last major piece as well. So you just have to wonder, is injecting ink under our skin really without any side effects? And don’t even get me started on people who have an actual allergy to the ink, even just certain colors. After seeing what that can do, I’m honestly a little terrified at the thought of getting another one ever again.

Amalgam fillings are still dangerous. My mom was diagnosed with adult onset epilepsy. Test after test showed no apparent cause. Apparently this has happened to other people and it’s thought that the amalgam fillings were the cause. She got hers back in the 60s and composite wasn’t an option. But the problem with having them removed is you have to find a dentist that can safely do it because when the filling is removed, vapors from the mercury are released into the air.

[@TwilightZone96761]

Yeah…when my son was young I was trying to figure out what this skin condition was that he had. An article I read said sometimes it goes away if you get rid of the fillings. I was like. Huh??! Yeah mercury

[@livelovely4681]

I've had one expand over a decade to the point that I had to get a crown because it broke my tooth.

[@sluttymctits4496]

The amount of mercury in amalgam is so miniscule that it virtually doesn't matter. Some people can have reactions to the various components in the alloy (silver, tin, molybdenum, etc., all of which are found in far higher concentrations than the trace amounts of mercury), which is why it's so important to disclose any medical conditions to your dentist. You get exposed to more mercury everyday from fish or fruits. But yes, the problem isn't amalgam being put into the mouth but being removed/replaced. The released dust particulates can be absorbed into your tissue or swallowed and some people can be affected by that. It's no reason to fear amalgams, especially since no one knows what composite fillings do to the body long-term.

To add a bit of important information. There’s two types of fluoride. Stannous and Sodium fluoride. Stannous fluoride which is usually advertised as antigingivitis/ gum healthy is far superior than sodium fluoride. Stannous fluoride protects your teeth 🦷 and is anti bacterial and prevents you from getting periodontal disease. Sodium fluoride on the other hand only protects you from cavities and it’s the one typically found in toothpastes here in the US.

[@shandijudy]

[@emilysue242]

Hi, dental assistant who is currently in school to become a hygienist. I'm gonna guess they thought there was a tooth worm because when exposed (and removed like they do in a root canal) the pulp of the tooth really does look like a worm. Just a guess though.

[@kandyharris2195]

Retired dental assistant here, I thought the same thing 😁

[@milknhoneyhoney]

I believe it was mostly because of cavities being little holes that resemble something like a piece of fruit that has been eaten by worms. The process of developing a cavity wasn’t understood, so it would make sense so believe a worm bit and crawled into your teeth. As you said, I’m sure the pulp looking quite wormy contributed to the worm theory as well!! 🪱

[@emilysue242]

@MilknHoney Honey well yeah of course, but I'm bringing up the pulp's appearance specifically because how else would it have been a worm of all things in multiple places? Nobody thought they were termites, nobody called them ants (not commonly, anyways), both of which are also known for digging holes and burrowing. I was just speculating on why the idea of tooth worms of all things was so universal. Having literally held the pulp of a tooth in my hand after its removal during a root canal, I can see why people thought it was a worm of all things. Lol.

I feel like I cannot floss due to my permanent retainer....which has been there since 2010 (idk if they still do it, but it was to keep my teeth in place after I had braces removed.) If anyone here has had a permanent retainer or is a dentist or orthodontist - can you clean them properly or have them removed? there is darkness around them which i assume is hardened plaque ?

[@queenb6385]

@@saintessa get floss threaders. It’s a plastic loop that you put under the retainer in order to floss.

[@rachelholtsoi4354]

@saıntessa yeah my mom had dentures, and she used dental floss, which I guess people with braces use, but I forgot what they are called.

You seriously are the most ICONIC story teller!! I’m so deep into all your videos!

Would love to see a video about the Connecticut Witch Trials! It happened about 30 years before the Salem Witch Trials.

You're so funny, open and honest 😂. Everytime I watch one of your videos, I fall in love with your personality all over again. 💯

I love when Queen Bailey has too much coffee... I'm always down for silly/giggle time. Never change, Miss B if you're nasty 🙏

[@pl.mags.dub.]

Panicking about even going to dentist, this episode it's like a horror story for me😮😮. But my love to Bailey keep me listening 😂 pure SM 😂😂😂

[@thatweirdoamanda9502]

This episode was fascinating, but now I want to go brush my teeth…. For an hour lol 😅😬

[@Upper_echelon_exotics]

Don't forget to floss too!

[@annabagwell7965]

I'm with you!

[@msmazzo]

don't, that is too much abrasion to your enamel

[@CowGirlKat8691]

At 3 years old at my 1st dental appointment [that get used to big scary men having their huge hands in your mouth] & he was using that pick & sliced my gum. I of course started screaming & crying & that dirtbag slapped my little leg so hard I can still remember the welt. I've hated to go to them ever since!

[@belletynan4914]

He... hit you?! Was a parent in the room? How did they react? I'm so sorry you were hit by someone who was supposed to be a trusted authority to help you. I am gobsmacked he hit you for his own mistake... insane

[@sarahjaye4117]

Ugh, that’s bs he did that 😡

[@darkydoom]

I guess I'm fortunate to have a wonderful dentist, he only just retired last year and his replacement seems lovely too. I've never had a negative dental experience. I actually wanted to work in dentistry for a little while but eventually went down a different path.

[@FeathersMcGraw667]

I JUST asked my dentist what was done before anaesthesia! He shrugged, grinned, and said, "a shot of whiskey?" 😅 😬 I recently got my first crown, ugh. Thank sky daddy for anaesthesia! 🦷

[@nicolefugere7932]

The town I grew up in had fluoride in the drinking water. No wonder I'm a bit off😂

[@witchysam4273]

Same and the swish at school and the extra toothpaste lol I ended up with damaged teeth from too much flouride.

Baileyyy!! So the Puerto Rican Day parade is coming up this June in New York! But can you guess how it all started and why it's being celebrated every year? 🤔 I love your videos!! Highlight of every Mondays and Thursdays ❤❤❤

[@fitriaayunda9475]

Bailey i love you been here for yeeeeaarrss with you, so proud to see you now. The tree that they chew is called "shiwak" 😘

[@TraceySheets]

Hi, Bailey! I just want to let you know how much I enjoy your channel. I’ve been watching your channel for about 3 years. My husband passed away last year and when I’m cooking or beading, I’ll either put on music or your videos. I live alone so it’s enjoyable to hear another person’s voice. I’ve learned a lot from your videos, especially Dark History!

[@kristaisastar1]

I normally listen to your Dark History before bed. BOY am I glad I listened to this one earlier. Maybe I won't have nightmares 😅

[@RainbowGhoul31]

I feel like if I listened to this one before falling asleep that I would definitely have nightmares of my teeth falling out. 😅 I always have that reoccurring nightmare every now and then!

[@daniellefernandez8945]

The mad hatter in Alice in wonderland is what stuck out to me ! It's interesting everything you dig up in these stories.

[@Itzangieee]

I was literally brushing my teeth when this came up and then when you said who likes going to the dentist I said me and you responded it was hilarious full circle 💓

[@Dani-wg9br]

I’m so excited for the sugar episode! My son was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes last year and it has been WILD seeing the amount of sugar that is marketed to TODDLERS. He was diagnosed at 2, so he wasn’t really exposed to sugar quite yet (thankfully!!) so it was easy to transition his diet. When he went to the dentist for the first time, they couldn’t believe how great his teeth looked. They asked how many sugary drinks he has a day, ZERO 🤣 love you Bailey 🖤

[@momma1270]

yes please do a dark history on sugar! gonna be very similar to the banana episode. esp in the dominican republic 💔

[@jessiegowen9020]

I’m like 30 seconds in, and Baileys earrings are everything! Giving Rocky Horror. I love it! 👄

[@racheladkins7943]

I literally watch your videos 24/7, keep up the awesome work Bailey! ❤

[@Lauren-ve4kz]

I’ve been enjoying catching up on dark history this week!! After a traumatic family loss, I couldn’t bear to watch anything “dark” for about 7 months. I have a lot of catching up to do! The mind works in interesting ways.

I literally just got back from a filling this morning so FILL ME IN BAILEY 😂❤

[@appletree312]

It would be awesome if someone from the past would tell us the story of them going to the dentist/doctors. When they didn't have meds for pain or anything. And have them go to a dentist now and see what they think.

[@Shannonloveesrock]

This episode feels very relevant this week, currently on antibiotics for a tooth infection 🙃

[@Reallifeintheblue]

The nail polish brand OPI was because it was invented by a dentist. The acrylic on your nails is almost the same as in your fillings. And now you know

[@barb7515]

You and your stories make my days so much better.

[@michelleguzman77]

What a perfect day for this video. I had to have my tooth extracted today, and it's so swollen & sore. It totally felt like medieval torture, and I was fully numb! 😬🤤

[@pattimilner6396]

Love both hair styles today and those earrings are the best!!❤ You always tell the history of … everything in the best way!!❤❤

[@paigeg.9261]

Love you Bailey and all your stories. Can't wait to hear this. I pay for Spotify because of you!

[@xcelestialx]

Bailey you need to do a dark history episode about the SEA! the fact that the earth is made mostly of water yet majority of it is unexplored! and maybe some crazy stories about strange findings under the water 🫣🌊 The ocean is beautiful yet terrifying

[@themuse.]

As a dentist, this episode, is so interesting to me!

[@sarahccharron8946]

Another great episode! Thank you Bailey!! Seriously can’t get enough of Dark History!
