Story Time: What's Wrong With my TEETH?

[@majorbriggs4730]

If you’re ever in ky I’d be happy to give you some affordable dental care. It’s the least I can do after all the entertainment you’ve provided me over the years

[@FreeBeerNoBingo]

DentalDoc This is something that should be bumped! It's a great offer! xxx

[@isidorodaviddoro1920]

Wow bro that's good😁

[@fiddlertheclownyt7443]

Get this to the top!

[@angie8088]

DentalDoc What a nice offer!

[@myhearthasahalo]

You’re a gentleman and an incredible guy.

[@jed23ify]

Boogie I hope you get your teeth fixed sooner than later, I know you may have some mental trauma from your childhood, but no more excuses now. You have the funds, time, and your health is in a much better state, so please No More Excuses. Having your teeth fixed may even give you a confidence boost that may change your way of thinking when it comes to food, and push you even further to continue on that fitness journey. Much love Boogie.

[@asis2723]

There’s absolutely NO excuse for not brushing your teeth; gargling is not a substitute. Your gums hurt & bleed because of periodontal disease (gingivitis & periodontitis). Risk for kidney cancer, pancreatic cancer, and blood cancers is much higher for people who have poor oral health. Dementia and possibly even Alzheimer’s disease can result from gingivitis when the bacteria in the mouth spreads to the nerve channels or enters the bloodstream.

[@drpepiman]

I agree I don’t think you understand how much teeth go towards your appearance. That’s one of the first things people notice.

[@enekoprins]

I'm going to brush my teeth right NOW!!

Hey Boogie! I’m not a subscriber that comes for the video game or movie reviews. I come for these kind of talk videos. This was an awesome story time, I love watching your videos of self improvement. 🤙🏽 I'm stoked to hear you're making this a series!

[@paulogazolla7488]

Hello Boogie, as a Dentist, specialized in implants, and by the storyline u told, I can assure you that remove all that's left and go for a 5 - 6 implants and a totally fixed prosthesis is a viable treatment, too bad hearing that it costs so much in the USA. usually it would cost a third of that here in Brazil. Even ppl with low income are implanting new teeth around here. I kinda know about that cuz I treated some Brazilians that live in US and Europe. As long as you have enough bone structure, it's fast and relatively easy to help. Wish you the best on your treatment. If you need any assist or have any doubt. Would be glad to help.

[@ninjamaster3453]

hellgun what about that caved in look from bone loss? I heard u need to keep as many bottom teeth to retain jaw bone as possible. Or is the situation u speak of so far gone it warrants it?

[@paulogazolla7488]

Ninja Master each individual person will lose bone in a different way and speed, and there are also many other variants such as infections broken tooth or roots. But in general, the sooner you solve the infection and set the implant in, The better the bone will be, a bigger bone also allow us to set in a bigger implant. wich will give the new tooth greater support. It's also possible the do a bone graft. With 4 kinds of different materials to choose.

[@paulogazolla7488]

Gorehounds Unite! I heard that there's an entire city on Mexico border that's crowded with dentists. And North Americans go there for treatment.

[@rz5401]

hellgun progreso, that's what it is called. I grew up on Rio grande boarder and that part of Mexico you are talking about is progreso alot of winter Texans (people not from Texas but live in Texas certain times of the year when it's really cold where they come from) go there for medical needs it's nothing but doctors over there and alot people go

[@paulogazolla7488]

rolan person Nice, it's important to spread that dental implants are safe, durable and reliable, as long as it's properly done. And I like to think that anyone that has it as a priority will achieve this.

[@semisweetchild]

It’s pretty amazing that you’re putting this out there. While some of it is on you that your teeth got so bad, a good portion of it is not your fault. Genetics, neglect (or maybe even outright abuse like you suspect), socialization, and poverty played huge roles. It’s a good thing for people to remember when thinking of making fun of someone for their teeth.

[@Hybridsteel]

doing this gives people an understanding about everything u have been through its a good insight to the man u are today

[@Shannon_Vlogs]

Hybridsteel Fancy meeting you here! Exactly, I really admire him for being so honest!

[@Hybridsteel]

Hows things Shannon yeah it is odd to run into people you know on a boogie video. first time this has happened to be fair hows things.....

[@Djuntas]

Yep, brushing teeths saves you so much money and agony.

[@irollastoney.899]

Can you imagine... their whole family, never owning a toothbrush. The smell of halitosis in their household. It makes me sick just thinking about it.

[@michaelkline2104]

woah you need to get out of this comment section, Those Diablo 2 guides wont make themselves :) love your vids

[@will_of_europa]

Depends on your genetics. I've brushed my teeth maybe 10 times in my life and dentists all say I have perfect enamel. I won the tooth lottery. Not one single person in my life ever has said I have bad breath. Of course I'm not a mouth breather...

[@irollastoney.899]

HiveTyrant36 Because they are being polite. I can guarantee you that your breath smells like a bunch of farts, you disgusting animal.

[@will_of_europa]

No actually you cannot guarantee that. Pretty sure family members who don't care about being polite aren't going to hold back. Get over yourself.

[@MrPurpdrank22]

I appreciate your real and raw content. You are a beautiful man, you have a beautiful soul, and you make kick ass content. /hug Keep it up, my friend!

[@m.b.boyack2228]

Hey Boogie, don't want to upset you, but as I am dentally in similar situation as yourself and researching tooth loss/dentures just wanted to let you know not everyone is able to have dental implants. It is entirely dependent on the integrity, strength and thickness of especially the lower jaw (mandible). Some patients are only able to support implants after bone grafting which is obviously further surgical expense and risk. The assessment of the Jaw's integrity can only be done after all the teeth & roots have been excised and the jaw's have fully healed. You will definitely need removable dentures even if only temporarily. Good Luck!

[@r1d5ey]

Shame dental implants are so god damn expensive not sure if that's the case in US but sure as hell is in the UK Talking £1000 - £2000 Just for ONE!

[@dragoncult666]

Greg Underwood that's a truly horrific tale. I actually feel ill.

[@RetroMike1324]

thiccness

[@GotAnUmbrella]

Some places do implants specifically for people with bone loss problems. It is different implants that anchor in a way that works better when you have bone issues.

[@tygerstripes3752]

And I will add that implants need to be done fairly soon after an extraction. The jaw needs to heal, but if left too long, it will recede and there will be no place to secure the steel implant to secure the tooth onto.

[@fraeni90]

Yes please, more stories! :)

[@Chilcutte]

fran rose Yeah > but dont force it It can be really helpful to talk but at same time it can be overwhelning. So take ot slow.

Mullac Odw haha yep that would be me :)

[@MiguelMariñelarena]

Thanks for sharing, boogie. I always get inspired to change something in my life after seeing your vids. I love this channel very much.

[@mikaleneguiser2077]

I’m so glad you brought attention to R.A.M.! I saw their story on a 60 Mins segment a few years ago and it opened my eyes to the impact dental issues can have on low income families. They do amazing work all throughout Appalachia and beyond. And thank you for sharing your story...it takes guts to lay it all on the table. I’m happy you’re able and in a mental space to start taking care of yourself.

[@andrewabela1117]

Thank you Boogie for this video. This goes to show how something as apparently insignificant as taking care of one's teeth, has such a significant impact on all the decisions one makes in life. very inspiring. Wishing you many years of health and all the best.

[@fezzian]

I am from and currently live in Clintwood. About 45 minutes from St. Paul. Never even noticed your teeth before now. Love you Boogie!

[@boogie2988]

I love clintwood. Nice town. Not too far from pound where my old family home is.

[@cristiant6566]

you look like u from the 5th element

[@jreed136]

I'm from Wisconsin but I'm currently living in Lebanon. Pretty close. lol

[@Daakist]

The biggest culprit in tooth decay is soda. If you can kick soda and any routine candy habit, even without brushing/flossing, your teeth will have like +1000% lifespan (over teeth like B2988).

[@LockeRobsta]

I feel you mate. I've spent over $10,000 on getting my teeth ($3000 on one molar) repaired after many years of neglect but man, I gotta give props to the dentist, she had to go through some shit.

[@LindseyMaria]

Boogie I really respect you for being strong enough to tell your story and for bettering your life as much as possible and showing the word its never too late but reminding us even though its not too late its better to start early. You inspire me.

[@RANDOMPLANET]

Man, you sure came a long way. As a person who has had tooth problems of his own, its good to see someone get through them.. Ton of support man. I am slowly going through all the old videos and dropping a like, view and a comment to re live the all the memories of watching these!

[@gracecarpenter8723]

Sorry boogie but tbh I haven’t been watching you lately because I’ve been busy! BUT DANG YOU ARE LOOKEN GOOD AND KEEP IT UP 👍👍👍

[@bethanywilhelm8451]

Yes, please make more of these kind of videos! Your raw, honest stories and advice from them are the reason I subscribed.

[@Grasspinks]

You mentioned this on twitter earlier today. Now, i'm excited for this to be my bedtime story. Night, all!

[@tj5425]

I watch this video every week or so to help me feel better about my teeth. I am in a very similar boat, shitty genes and tons of pain all the time. My parents are great parents, but they didn't try very hard to make sure my teeth were in good shape. Thanks, Boogie. You're the man. I'm glad these videos exist.

[@gamboaconstrictor31]

I think your candid, raw honesty about yourself and all you've overcome is *brave and inspiring*. I've followed you for awhile and just realized you live in Fayettenam! (Lol obvs Fayetteville.) I live in Centerton. Lived in Rogers for years. Eureka Springs. It's good to know you're in the NWA. My son, Jonas loves your Francis videos. He has been watching nonstop. He would love a shout out or even a small meet and greet if you ever feel up to it. He is high functioning autistic but he loves making people laugh and is genuinely funny. He is my greatest achievement and I am so proud. He has a dream to be a KZbinr and I plan to support him in any endeavor as long as he's not hurting others. Anyway, I rambled. We love you Boogie!

[@divinity1079]

My teeth are bad as well (not to the extent of yours, but still bad). To all the kids and teens out there, DON’T NEGLECT YOUR TEETH! Don’t make the mistakes I’ve made, you will 100% regret them. Brush your teeth 2-3 times a day, use a water pik flosser, and for the love of god, GO TO THE DENTIST! Things will only get worse if you don’t go

[@traelonin]

3 is too much. You’ll wear out the layering of your teeth

[@southernmercy5962]

Boo hoo.

[@zachariah1990]

That isn’t enough you need to stop eating bad food. Eating healthy foods and really limiting bad foods combined with brushing and you are normally fine. Dentists are for emergency purposes fix your diet and your teeth will help you.

[@Copyrightme81]

They gone now son. You got them Adamantium chompers now.

[@NavyColt45]

Boogie you are officially my biggest inspiration. Because you have inspired me to brush me teeth more than any dentist

[@Souredsoup]

Boogie. I cannot believe how inspirational you are! It doesn't seem to matter what topic you are discussing, every time I watch one of your vids I come away feeling like 'I can do anything if he can do it. I can endure anything if he can endure it.' etc, etc. You keep doing what you are doing Boogie and we will always be here for you, dude!

I am 25 & This is my life spelled out to a T! I need to listen to you boogie. I am gonna try my best to work things out! Thanks for the help my dude!

I'm in my late 20's and got my ceramic braces removed today I had to pay to get it done, but mu god it's worth it It's never too late!

[@erikheijden9828]

Late twenties is still early

[@WarhavenSC]

As my dentist would say, "Teeth are like idiots. Ignore them, and they go away." Love you Boogie. Glad you're taking control of your life. I've been fortunate to have both good teeth genes and good dental practice. I'm nearly 40, and have yet to get a cavity. **cross fingers** Now, if I could only take as much responsibility for my man-boobs as I do for my teeth, then I'd be all set. :P p.s. Still waiting for that cameo on TableTop... :D

[@manictiger]

Fucking laughed out loud at this.

[@DoctorMinjinx]

I'm sorry you went through this, Boogie. I've had some teeth issues and been through horrible dentists in the past who were unprofessional and abusive and it's given me horrible dentist phobia and awful anxiety whenever any teeth problems arise. I have an infinite amount of sympathy and respect for people suffering with bad teeth or problems and well...Don't go mad from the pain and anxiety lol.

[@danieljr3280]

Loved it, boogie. Been watching you since the Francis WOW video and you opening up like this adds a great depth to relationship you share with your audience.

[@TheCocoDane]

how you have kept your sanity?.. is beyond my understandning. i used to think my childhood was tough, but oboy..tx for the reality check.

[@serial5915]

Lars Bødtger boogies a man

[@miriam7872]

Honestly... did he? I think it's the perfectly understandable explanation of his suffering and why he was miserable his entire life. Childhood neglect took a hughe toll on him I'd say.

[@TheCocoDane]

Well, we All get shaped by our childhood. So to refine my first statement.... I am amazed he seems to get more out of life than the cards he has been delt.

[@hinglemccringleberry9546]

Lars Bødtger You can still perceive your upbringing as rough or difficult. You shouldn't let harsher stories take away from what you had to deal with. Everyone is different: different experiences, different understandings, and different levels of resilience. Boogie has gone through hell, yes. You may have gone through a similar, different, less or worse hell depending on who is viewing it. Share your story regardless, and let others know they aren't alone. Maybe it will help others understand or begin healing.

[@Warribo]

Ouch! talking about tooth trauma always sets my teeth on edge :(

[@niveous5392]

Honestly brushed my teeth during this video out of fear

[@reggiep75]

Stories are always interesting. Literally the building blocks of a persons life that you can't see beneath the skin. Keep them coming, man!

[@ld2102011]

I love your story time! It breaks my heart when I hear about the abuse you had to endure, it is truly an inspiration as to how well you deal with everything. You should be so proud of your accomplishments Boogie. And I’ve always noticed the twinkle in your eye before your smile. You are a beautiful man as is, and I can’t wait to see you with an even more beautiful smile with all new teeth, you deserve it :)

[@blainealexander5091]

Thank you for sharing. Everything you said it pretty much a nightmare for me... and this is the first "episode"....

[@vkoskiv]

Just think. Boogie is living in an industrialised 1st world country, yet what he describes, the things he had to resort to, sound like something you'd have to do in some tiny, poor country with no food or clean water.

[@Yurt_enthusiast7]

Welcome to the American dream

[@pookiehoney]

These kinds of things happen all the time in the lower class. Every politician (except Bernie) only talks about the state of the middle class. Most poor people have zero insurance, very little money & hardly ever see a doctor much less a dentist.

[@dylanforward6081]

Had the same problem with my teeth. Parents never made me brush till I had a problem and went to see a dentist at age 9. Then I got 2 root canals, 1 tooth removed and a bunch of fillings, huge holes in my teeth had to be filled. Not easy when you have a fear of the dentist having to go there for extensive dental surgery multiple times when everyone else around only has ever had simple cavities. Thanks mom. Doesn't take responsibility till this day I'm 17 and she still says it's my fault as if I was suppose to know to brush me teeth at age 1-9?? No kid wants to do it, parents are suppose to make you.

[@egirlcafemanager7119]

If he goes to Mexico he would be rich lol, just kidding but i think he would be able to afford A LOT of things

[@ForgottenT]

Not sure I'd consider Murica a first world country, at least not in the sense of the rest of the West.

[@oiausdlkasuldhflaksjdhoiausydo]

Good lord. What a family. It's amazing you survived.

[@dhakir]

Very interesting video. It's rare to find people who lived so low, improved so much, and are as expressive and pleasant to listen to.

[@LarsicsGaming]

Happy or sad I love hearing your stories. You're one of the best people on KZbin and I take inspiration from you.

[@Thepoppcorn1000]

Just got back from the dentist today, had depression, suicidal thoughts, abuse in every way just like you talk about. I wanted to die and took up chewing tobacco. I’m still in so much pain but I quit the habit, and no longer want to die. After the dentist today, they said I just need root scaling and planning. It’ll cost me 1000 dollars which will not be easy but needs to get done in order of a better life. I owe it to a lot of people throughout my life that I need to make it up too. Until I can afford it, I’ll have to live with the pain but NO cancer signs which makes my anxiety calm down. Depression is a motherfucker but I’ve gotten almost completely out of it, if I can do it, so can all of us. I’m around if anyone needs to talk about shit, I know I needed it before. Thanks boogie for everything.

[@moggtow]

I don't know about USA, but that kind of education you received could be treated as child abuse in France.

[@meanmole3212]

Are you questioning the greatest country in the world?

[@cilith1]

I wish that was a rule here in the USA.

[@miriam7872]

So true!! Neglecting your teeth is not only painful as hell but damn dangerous. Cavities lead to tooth infections which can spread through the body to for example your fregging HEART.

[@jotabeas22]

Moggtow It probably is in some states, considering that I've read about child protection taking kids from their parents because of neglect. It is a form of abuse, indeed, but doubt it is properly reflected de iure in the USA.

[@TheDarqProject]

You actually can have extensive dental issues from pregnancy. My teeth pretty much crumbled from having my boys, even while brushing twice daily, flossing, going to the dentist, not eating much sugar, and taking vitamins. It sucks. I still have thousands of dollars of work to have done. =/ And my older son was born with no enamel on his teeth, so we're doing damage control until his adult teeth come in. Long story short, I know about dental trauma, and I'm sorry that you're still dealing with issues from it.

[@trucid2]

Sounds like nutrient deficiencies.

[@thomasthetankengine2257]

Course you can dirty bitch

[@zeswigga4707]

[@troytatzko1056]

[@cm2ca]

You're a great story teller! Look forward to seeing your final results!😁

[@APELSINASAUR]

Maybe it's offtopic - but the pregnancy teeth thing is actually a thing. My mom's teeth got worse and she takes good care of them.

[@tacthom]

I used to work as a family advocate and I remember a client who lost her teeth during pregnancy. I came to visit her and her family one week and.....her two front teeth were gone. I ran back to my office to do some research and learned that between 60% & 70% of women experience gingivitis while pregnant due increased levels of the hormone, progesterone, which in turn causes an increased response to plaque bacteria which can lead to gingivitis and in severe cases tooth decay and loss😱😬

[@aidenc.6895]

Some of my adult teeth grew in before the baby ones fell out. The adult teeth grew behind the baby ones, causing me to temporarily have layers of teeth like a shark

[@jkishhabi]

Aiden C. Me to, I had to have my 4 front baby teeth pulled as the permanent teeth grew in behind them and did not loosen the baby teeth up, at all.

[@TowerHunter]

same here, happens pretty often

[@eartianwerewolf]

I still have two baby teeth because the permanent teeth are still sitting up there crooked lol. I like them though :)

[@askme8592]

Just like the rest of humanity. Check out child skull photos that show the teeth in the jaw. Everyone has more than one row of teeth when young. Not being morbid with the child skull but it's a good visual to understand how teeth work in the skull and jaw.

[@goosejustgoose]

Me too.I have to have five baby teeth removed because they are wedged.

[@meruchan1521]

So glad that you're continuing to move in a positive direction, Boogie :) Thank you for always sharing your experiences with such honesty.

[@decimustv4257]

Hi Boogie I am from London, England. I came across one of your videos by chance a while ago and I remember thinking... "I like this guy, he's got a nice way about him... seems like a positive, calm and honest person". At the time I had no idea about your past or any of your issues. Anyway, there are hardly any similarities between us in terms of our childhood and the type of issues we have to deal with yet I do find that I really relate to you and that you are positive inspiration to me, especially at the moment, while I am right in the heat of battle with my problems. I think it's because your problems, although being radically different from mine, are all encompassing and life changing in profound ways just like mine. Love your videos. Keep it up. Good luck, hope everything works out for you. Peace :)

[@RaleighBecketGipsyPilot]

My teeth got f-ed up for the exact same reasons yours did. Neglectful , abusive mom who didn’t want to take care of her kids. Funny thing is, she brushed her teeth religiously and I never understood what she was doing and each time I asked she told me “don’t worry about it”. Then in second grade the teachers did the entire “brushing” thing and explained it to us. I was actually exited to brush my teeth and my mom just told me I didn’t need it. Then when I was old enough to know better , I was too depressed to care about any hygiene.

[@NoNo-oy3it]

I had surprisingly the exact same thing happen

[@NoNo-oy3it]

So glad parenting has evolved, my daughter definitely has a happier life. I will never hesitate for her.

[@Vale-fd4pk]

i just can't understand that kind of woman, i'm 19 and i already have mother instincts every sinlge time i see a baby

[@calamitynatalie8590]

That is so frustrating as a parent to read...I have 2 daughters, they are 7 and 5. Our 7 year old has lovely teeth, totally normal! Our 5 year old used to fight us, it got to the point where we would have to wrap her in a towel and try to scrub as she cried. It was horrible. She has just been diagnosed with high functioning autism and so we now have answers as to why she would fight us so much. Unfortunately she's had to have some extractions already but now she's been diagnosed we have a special dentist who works with us and now we have her brushing her teeth like a champ three times daily! It's wonderful! They say her adult teeth will be fine but she may need braces due to the baby teeth not being a guide for the adult teeth to come into! I'm sorry that your mother did this to you, it awful!

I’m so sorry this happened to you. You deserved better ♥️

[@cyndit3306]

I heard that If you travel to like Mexico or Egypt, you can save a tremendous amount of money on dental care, try look it op so you don’t spend 50k that night cost you 20k in another country! And keep op the good work, you are an inspiration!

[@heyzeus3363]

yasin demiraslan You get what you pay for. It’s cheap in Mexico (on the border), but the work is cheap itself!

[@yasand2010]

like turkey is cheap, but they are also veery good, so little research and it can be possible! but i understand what you are saying

[@wetlettuce4768]

I went to Bulgaria to have 8 crowns done and the service and quality of work was fantastic and in my opinion it was as good as I'd of got in the UK. I've made a list of what it cost me vs what the local dentists wanted, the price of the Bulgarian crowns were for 8 full porcelain crowns so not the cheap option could of had the work done for half the price if I wasn't fussy about the material of the crowns. 8 crowns £1200 ($1530) flights cost £250 ($318) 3 nights in a 4* hotel £120 ($153) Total - £1570 ($2002) UK dentist wanted £3600 ($4592)

[@blahblahblah8620]

you sir are my role model. I aspire to be as open and honest about things the way you are. Accept who you are. Respect

[@matthewgower]

I really love these videos where you talk about your past. Even though it's sad I like learning about you, it makes me feel like I know you better.

[@ntw-somethingspicy5894]

Hey Boogie, I went and watched a bunch of your old Francis videos. I have noticed that you haven't done a Francis sketch in a while (getting hacked, etc.). I know that these are harder to make than rants but I think a lot of audience members (myself included) would love to see another. Knowing that Francis's sister is gone perhaps a new character could be introduced who tries to make Francis into a better person and we can get to see Francis behaving like a child again. This comment has been a bit of a ramble but I hope you consider some of the things I've mentioned. Have a great day!

[@Shannon_Vlogs]

I so admire your honesty. I literally brushed my teeth while watching this 😂

Is it unusual for Americans to have bad teeth? Brits are known for their bad teeth! Mine have improved thanks to private dental care... Had my first tooth filling aged 5! 😱 The NHS provides free dentistry for children until 16.

[@scoobydude1999]

@@dinosaurtreesflowers It's not unusual, especially for people with European heritage. The thing about America is that a lot of people are so obsessed with having good teeth, that they are willing to pay thousands of dollars to give their children extensive dental work early on in life. There's a higher amount of people here with straight teeth than in the UK, but that's mostly due to ethnicity. A lot of black and latino folks have very nice teeth without needing any dental work. It all depends on jaw shape and tooth size.

[@iroclife7909]

No excuse, he chose to not brush his teeth. No one made him feel like he had to make it. You can’t do stuff in your life that everyone else can clearly see and the just ignore the questions. Why be ashamed of your own choices?

[@jacobflavell6657]

Iroc Life the most real comment damn straight

[@christines3638]

Iroc Life - Show compassion. Don't kick a man who is pouring his heart out. Depression, low self worth and other illnesses often result in self destructive behavior. Sometimes things get so bad a person sticks thier head in the sand as a way to cope. I'm sure this isnt one of his better moments. Life is not as smooth of a ride as one may hope. I think Boogie is quite brave.

[@SameriddAndCave]

It's pretty rude there's people going around saying "what's wrong with your teeth" to boogie.

[@fmdof]

Ive never been in more pain in my life, than an impacted tooth.

[@Cokedupturtle69]

fmdof just had my impacting wisdom tooth taken out - I feel ya sooooo painful

[@mikepatrick6421]

I have 3 impacted wisdom teeth. Can honestly say the only thing that was more painful was waking up during my spinal surgery and feeling them cut the spinal cord. But Impacted/infected teeth are a close second.

[@benjamincrew1949]

fmdof Same here with an impacted/abscessed wisdom tooth. You just don't know until you go through it. Had to wait a day to get it out on Ibuprofen, which did nothing. No sleep because of waking up every hour to change an ice pack. Absolute nightmare.

[@omgwtfbbqwinsawce]

My teeth are jacked as well and getting worse by the day. Ive removed my own molar only once, and Ive had one root canal. I also suffer from anxiety disorder, and dental trauma. This is like a video from my future self. Ill try to take better care but dentists are expensive. :(

[@miriam7872]

Having an infection spread to another organ and treating that is even more expensive. I understand that health insurance in the US SUCKS but if there's any way - please don't take the gamble! Maybe set every coin aside you can and try to go from there. I wish I could send you my dentist overseas. I always hated going (Which is why I didn't for about 4 years) but finally found someone who is very kind and only fixed my cavities with a lot of local anesthesia (that and any non-fancy dentist appointment is in our universal health care plan so I didn't even pay a cent). Luckily I was still early enough to not have an infection, but fixing 16 cavities still sucked.

[@omgwtfbbqwinsawce]

That's awesome! I'm glad you were able to get your situation remedied! Dental insurance and services are, what feels like, a luxury here. Dental insurance is $25-$75 a month on average, not including the $100+ for just filling a cavity. I had a tooth root canaled for $750, and never had the $1000+ for a cap, so it's just filled in. I'm currently unemployed, as I was laid off to outsourcing, and with the litany of other issues I have, seeking employment is difficult. There are solutions, but sadly none are as cut and dry as save money then go to dentist. Here's to hoping we sort this out, and find some way to make things more affordable here.

[@miriam7872]

Oh wow. I think that's honestly kinda sad. I mean, we also have to pay 250€ (metal) - 400€ (ceramics) for a cap but everything that's a necessity like a root canal or wisdom teeth removal is in our standard medical insurance. (Wich is mandatory! And if you can prove you can't afford it/are unemployed the state pays it for you) If I wanted to - I could get dental insurance which would even pay for the fancy stuff for around 20-40€ a month more. I've heard people say that the medical procedures are better quality in the US... but honestly who cares if nobody can afford it? I just wanna not be in pain or die As long as you're taking care of stuff like root infections - you're at least not in real danger! But those things are way too painful to ignore anyway. I've only ever had a tooth-ache from deep cavities and those were bad enough, oh boy I wish there were at least more organizations like the one boogie talked about. From what I've read stuff like that is quite a widespread problem. Honestly wishing you the best of luck for your job search as well as your teeth man!

[@omgwtfbbqwinsawce]

Thanks! That shed a little more light on how things work there. Also, like boogie said, a lot of it is my own fault as well.

[@shawnmit]

Really sad to watch a video like this, sounds like you were neglected as a child and now you’re trying your hardest to get your life back on track. I truly respect you big guy, 100% rooting for you...we believe in you!

Thanks for sharing. Love to hear some of your personal background info. Your doing great, brother! Keep it up!

[@thesmolestcunj1058]

Got up to brush my teeth straight away

[@Killer_Turnip]

Brush AND FLOSS!! It'll save your gums/teeth in the long run and cut down with plaque- especially if gum disease runs in your family. Used to be really painful and awkward because my back teeth are squished together, but once you get to flossing more regularly it's okay. Anyway, PSA over, thank you for the story Boogie!

[@wes3793]

Mouthwash can be a detriment to your oral health if you use it too often as it can potentially dry your mouth out which will cause you more problems long terms.

[@scottcarmack3920]

Never noticed anything unusual with your teeth, but I appreciate your story and honesty! Teeth are such a big thing to feel self conscious about because we are socially trained to smile. I know I feel self-conscious about mine and your story helped me feel a little less alone.

[@PoeLemic]

I never even looked at your teeth, because I saw you as a whole person. But, I hate that you had so much trauma. I had life trauma too, but it's been in different areas and much different reasons. So, we appreciate you being so open & teaching us your life story. Do keep making videos on this topic ... or these topics. I do enjoy them -- as well as many more people who do.

[@kilderok]

OMG Boogs I can't thank you enough for this!!! I live here in Arkansuck too and RAM is SOOO what I need. I haven't had a physical in almost 20 years, I have nightmare molars too that I'm having to pry out of my own mouth as well slowly due to no dental insurance and poverty. I only make a couple grand a year maybe if I'm lucky. Being an artist is hard. So this shit REALLY helps, we need to get a branch to come to arkansas more frequently. There are a TON of people that could use help here from them.

[@pookiehoney]

Wow Boogie the thought of having to try to extract my own teeth is horrifying. I don't know how you managed it without pain killers and not passing out. I hope you find a way to fix them as nice as possible and find a dentist that will help you out.

[@bagofsunshine3916]

when a tooth is already rotten to the root you don't feel much anymore the nerves have pretty much died off and it's similair to losing your baby teeth (don't know the actual english word for it) but there is still the very sensitive gum that obviously hurts a bit.

[@aryska]

A lot of people in Italy does travel to do dental care and others stuff.. they go to Ukraine , Turkey or Poland.. I know about some Americans travel to South America to do this kind stuff also with good quality... like Colombia, Brazil or Chile.. is more cheap because the exchange money taxes.

Hey Boogie si love your videos, they’re like company to me and they’re therapeutic. Currently my life is really hard, I feel sad all the time, can’t stop crying and I can’t find peace.

[@adrianakle618]

Ali Beli thanks, I see a therapist but I hide it from everyone else because the people who cares for me would feel bad if I’m sad so I don’t want them to know. Therapy is helpful because I can talk to someone but it’s slow and I’m not really getting any better. Thanks for your comment

[@vinnieboombatzmd3508]

Dentistry is insanely expensive. Unless you have a really good job you probably don't have dental insurance. Even Medicaid only covers emergency procedures for adults. I bet a lot of people are putting off dental issues they either can't afford or don't want to pay out the ass to get fixed.

Your story is one of triumph over tragedy and its inspiring

[@TheBigDB92]

Hey Boogie don't give up on your dental health. As a dentist myself, I've always been curious as a fan. I'm glad you opened up about it. Best option for you would likely be implant supported overdentures. Still pricey but less expensive than a whole mouth of implant crowns and bridges, although you will likely need bone grafting unless those broken roof tips are preserving enough bone (which is possible). Also the story your mom told you about you hitting your tooth is true. This causes the enamel to not form properly on the adult tooth so it erupts with a defect, often brownish/yellow and more susceptible to decay.

[@JeremyWS]

I'm gonna look into that charity. I could use some free medical care, especially dental care. I do take care of my teeth and I do brush them twice-a-day everyday, but it's been a few years since I've visited a dentist and I should probably visit one soon. I need to get my wisdom teeth removed. I need to get my two front teeth on my top row repaired and I need four other fillings in the front and that is what I can see in a mirror. I'm sure I need some fillings on my molars too. I would also love to do either braces or Invisalign to realign my teeth. I am gonna look into this charity. This was an awesome video. I love watching your videos. They are always interesting videos. My family also has a history of bad dental care and the only reason my older brother still has his teeth is because he went thru the military and they saved his teeth, because that's something they do in the military. The only reason I still have my teeth is because of my ocd. I think I should go brush my teeth. Great video, keep up the good work. God bless!!
