When they say all the sweets you want but only once a week, does that mean there are no sweets, desserts, or say sugar in coffee/tea/hot cocoa except on Saturday?

[@sweZACK]

@joanhuffman2166 Haha no the saturday thing is basically just for candy specifically and mostly just a rule/norm directed at kids. Though I do think it might have a general effect on how we consume sugar, seeing as we eat more candy than the rest of the world but still have better dental health. Its better to eat a lot of sugar once a week than small amounts every day.

[@joanhuffman2166]

@sweZACK so what did they actually recommend back in the day? Do people usually drink coffee or tea black with nothing added? Is a sweet dessert part of the usual meals? I know that Germans usually have a dessert with afternoon coffee, possibly jam with a morning slice of bread & butter, a spoon of sugar with coffee twice a day. But I know little of Swedish customs.

[@Rhiandell]

​@@joanhuffman2166 dessert isn't commonly eaten in Sweden at all. It's typically only eaten for special occasions, such as when you have guests or are celebrating something. "Fika" is very common though, which is coffee (or tea, or other beverage) with a small bite to to eat, which can be something sweet. The older generations tend to have fika like every afternoon (my parents are in their 70s and afternoon fika is practically sacred) but for younger people, it's usually just plain coffee. Sugar in your coffee is also typically and old people thing. Most people I know drink their coffee black, or with just milk. You might get a mocha or caramel latte whatever if you're having fika with a friend at a coffee shop, but again, that's just occasionally, for everyday, most people make their coffee at home, or at work, and drink it plain. Fika is important at work too, but typically morning fika is more anticipated, and that is usually accompanied by bread rolls and savoury toppings rather than sweets. Most work places will only have sweets for fika for Fridays or if celebrating something. But I also think a big contributing factor to our good dental health is free dental care for all children and yearly checkups. You get taught at a young age that it's important to brush your teeth or your dentist is going to get mad. 😂

I didn’t (couldn’t afford, among other things) go to the dentist for almost 20 years and went last year and had one wisdom tooth pulled (I’m 40!) and 4 fillings. That was tortur! I had to ask them to re inject numbing 4 times and the dentist had to ask 3 other assistants to help him ripp out my wisdom 🦷. I couldn’t speak four two days, mouth was droopy and too numb. And I ate peanut butter and grits and yogurt for about 2 weeks as my mouth healed. That was enough for me to started flossing everyday and chew gum after eating and get an electric toothbrush (Colgate Hum is good) Take care of your teeth people! I was lucky I didn’t have more problems bc when I was in the thick of my drug addiction I went for days without showering and brushing my teeth, nasty I know but when your addict gf doesn’t complain there is little incentive and the drugs numb the sensitivity. Life is much better these days and I have healed physically and mentally and spiritually and taking care of myself!!!

[@thegentlemanreturned]

So, I was born(1987) and raised in Sweden. Growing up I had 3 wisdom teeth that the state funded dentist knew was gonna be a problem for me later in life and instead of removing them while I was covered by the state they waited until I turned 18 to tell me that I really should have my wisdom teeth removed. I had gone to the same dentist since I was 6yo. The only reason they waited was to save the municipality money. I would say that swedish dentist has learned nothing about ethics.

[@98Zai]

I ditt fall hade du kunnat skaffa frisktandvård direkt efter att du fyllde 18 och betalat typ 40 spänn i månaden och fått det gjort gratis när du faktiskt behövde det. Misstänker att du spenderade ditt studiebidrag på mindre välgörande ting. Faktum är att de flesta visdomständer förr eller senare failar eftersom emaljen nästan aldrig blir fullt utvecklad, så de skulle behöva göra det på alla skolbarn i landet isåfall. Sen kan man ju ta hand om sina tänder och få behålla även sina visdomständer i många år, vilket vore bättre för både dig och kommunen.

[@Jason-mh1pl]

I went to my dentist and found only 1 wisdom tooth, im 21 so i should have them all. But she called me evolved so im going with that lmao

[@RisingRevengeance]

Often how it goes here. Like our healthcare is far better than most countries but you kind of need to nag about your issue repetitively to get any help at all.

[@98Zai]

I guess answering in Swedish isn't allowed? I'll try giving my response in English, then. By the time you're 18, wisdom teeth have usually not come out yet. I find it amusing that you are painting a picture of your dentist, snickering in the shadows, biding their time to save money for the municipality! I promise, it's more likely that they waited to know for sure that it was going to be a problem. You should have gotten frisktandvård insurance right when you turned 18, it would have been free.

In America, any of us who exist on Medicare/Medicaid only recently had "free dental care" added. I've had a mysterious dental disease since I was little that caused my teeth to slowly decay from the inside-out, which is why I had ALL my teeth extracted over 2yrs, by age 30; If I hadn't, they would have continued to slowly crack & crumble to pieces otherwise. In America, the homeless, prisoners, and disabled/poor are given the same "pull over fix" treatment. I've been so thankful for the masking pandemic, which hit in the middle of my extractions & gave me a reason to cover up my humiliating appearance, which I still do to this day, whenever I go out or am around anyone. I've had a vlog channel for over 10yrs, but I haven't done any on-camera vlogs since then, and my already damaged self-esteem was completely taken out...

[@wolfmantroy6601]

Bull. This is simply not true. The poor in the USA have better healthcare than most people that have to pay for their own insurance. Medicaid pays for tooth care unlike most insurance policies. If prisoners don't wish to have their teeth pulled they can stop committing crimes. Rather than "existing" on Medicare and Medicaid letting us tax payers pay your way, how about getting a job ! God I'm sick of you people!

Thanks so much for lumping us ALL TOGETHER, and I hope you get a dozen debilitating & agonizing symptoms that make just existing every day a nightmare, have your wish to die before it gets that bad IGNORED, and have nobody in the world give AF when you're left with no meds or income!

@@wolfmantroy6601 as a current Medicaid recipient what you just said is BS. We do not get free dental. Never. We are supposed to be covered for one free cleaning, each year but as soon as you make that appointment and you’re diagnosed with something like periodontal disease or even gingivitis-if you don’t pay out of pocket for things like scaling, then your cleaning each year is null and void and good luck finding a place to even do that on a sliding scale within two counties of where you live. Welfare recipients do not get free dental. SSISSDI recipients do not get free dental. Regular working moms who aren’t receiving child support do not not get Dental. Tell me you don’t know what you’re talking about without telling me. Just like you may think that we get eyeglasses, too? You do realize that these are services that are considered cosmetic and the only thing Medicaid will pay for is for every single tooth in your mouth to be ripped out, should you need it and, if they can deny your claim because it is not life-threatening, they will. I just got vision covered and when I went to make the first appointment, I was told that because I need a retinal scan, nothing is covered. you don’t know anything about the US healthcare system so stop feeding people full of the BS that you believe. Also, you sound like an entitled Englishman, who is people came from entitled areas. Nobody’s getting anything for free and you actually have to qualify for all these programs by being 150% below the poverty level. Do you even begin to understand what that means? in order to get SSI you have less than $2000 in assets in the bank. That includes the car you drive. Obama isn’t out here handing out free bus passes. You’re just someone who knows how to not claim every dollar they make in order to be taxed on it, while the rest of us actually have to pay them. You sound like you’ve never had a bad day, in your life.

I love going to the dentist. I just can't afford it.

[@JustRootsAndLeaves]

Imagine medical experiments on people without their consent or knowledge they are being experimented on. That would never happen today........

[@shermdog6969]

Who else went and brushed their teeth?

[@eratinauleenaks2367]

Not for 20 years now. And sporadically before that.

[@olovlundstedt507]

Its saturday and im a Swede so no, im eating sticky candy right now 😂 (Oh and im 30 btw, altho i do also have a kid so..)

[@DaxianPreston]

I’ve never had a cavity and never had wisdom teeth. Very lucky. I’m convinced dental floss destroys your teeth by wearing away the enamel. I’ve never used dental floss. I do however use a water pick and I drink lots of water.

[@TastyScotch]

I was very sick as infant, and as a result my teeth have no enamel on them. Long story short ive been to the dentists hundreds of times, cavaties root canals and crowns were just a part of life. Nowadays all my teeth are CEREC crowns. It was the price of a BMW (a nice one) but i dont get cavaties anymore 😂

[@troydorr4867]

Toothaches are no joke! For anyone who's experienced one, they understand. It's a pain like no other! I know women who have stated that toothaches can be more painful than child birth. I, for one, can testify that toothaches are unimaginably painful. Please do yourself a favor, and take good care of your teeth.

[@johnbeans2000]

Feels like i'm the only swede that doesn't like candy. Even as a child I maybe ate a piece here or there but I never thought OMG it's so good... Even today I eat no candy.

[@MikesTropicalTech]

Thanks Simon, I literally just got home from the dentist. Luckily only a cleaning today.

[@raymondmartin6737]

Wait util there no longer is flouridation of our drinking water. 😢

[@Volundur9567]

If they didn't treat the patients who couldn't sit still, I wonder if they ultimately succumbed to infection.

[@jesthered7966]

The AI generated Swedish Flag is unsettling...

[@ptrickgraves5883]

its unaffordable now. Sad😧

[@EmilyJelassi]

Perhaps I've just been lucky to have really excellent dentists growing up, but I've had exceptional dentists and don't mind going to the dentist at all, I'm guessing that this is not and common as I thought...

[@ExperimentIV]

nobody ever teach simon how to pronounce swedish k in front of e, i, y, ö, and ä it’s too fun for me

[@radonato]

"Chilling Experiments"? REALLy, SImoN?!

[@aigtbootbp]

Yep, pretty horrible thing they did along with so many other experiments but it does beg the question where would we be without them?

[@SunshyneA]

Dang only 20 comments not enough for a discourse in the comments #sighofrelief

[@wjbt3]

As a former Swede, yes we all have snaggleteeth

[@Dylan-ee6qg]

"Is there anything worse than going to the dentist?" Uhh I can think of a few; murder, genocide, war, gum disease, etc.

[@Clareypie]

It’s the sort of thing you’d expect with the Nazi regime…

[@raymondmartin6737]

I am over 80, had good regular dental care since 1966, at age 22, as I was in college and USAir Force ROTC to be an officer. I first required remedial dental work, and today have all my teeth, except for a rear wisdom tooth, and of course fillings and crowns. Success. 😅

[@Tkon321]

Fluoridation is some Ruski activity, POE! That move is such a classic and is all I could think of once he mentioned adding fluoride to the water supply

[@carrienichols-lundqvist7970]

Yes it was. I have worked in the building that was part of the asylum that was converted into school.

[@desperadox7565]

13:45 "...these *chilling* experiments...)😈

[@ankaplanka]

Let this be a reminder of how little Sweden care about disabled people. The Folk Health Authority managed to convince almost the entire population that masks don't work (even though they do, even more with other precautions). This country learned nothing because they constantly avoid uncomfortable feelings. And still call us disabled people "expensive." I'm thankful for being born here, but the lack of responsibility lot of people take is depressing. "Only the old, sick and disabled die" my ass. This whole thing is so disrespectful towards the people who were tortured at Vipeholm and other places!

[@Lykapodium]

This spawned the creation of the Red Swedish Fish candy

[@rosendir]

I don't think it is right to say that Sigmund Rascher was the only scientist with documentation into hypothermia. I would count Unit 731 though there field of hypothermia may have been to specific more to frostbite?

Foreshadowing Sweden's COVID policy

[@jeffdroog]

If youre upset,just remember the olrice they paid so you can ahve good dentao care now...We gotta learn some things somewhere.

[@BobSmith-qq3ig]

woah, is this from the back catalogue from like 3 years ago or something?

[@FriendlyNeighborhoodNitpicker]

Talk about believing Spock’s old dictum: the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few… A harsh history.

[@3ggztr3m3b33tz]

Well the worst part is that this wasn't the only way they could've learned this information; there was definitely a way that didn't involve torturing intellectually disabled children

[@FriendlyNeighborhoodNitpicker]

@ indeed.

[@GhostKestrel]

They could have gotten volunteers, they just didn’t want to dish out the money so they did experiments on vulnerable people who weren’t even given the option of consent.

[@eldiablo7862]

Just got my first cavity and filling... it sucks. Almost made it to 60 with still virgin teeth.

[@Zer0_Cool69]

I bet that was fun taking care of kids jacked up on candy

[@GabbeMan123]

Yay sweden mentioned 🇸🇪😭

[@nonames5772]

It’s 3:30 am and I just grabbed floss
