@Meg – that’s so horrible!! If you fuck up your teeth, you need medical attention asap. I can’t believe your mum prioritised your brother & sister’s need for ice cream above your obvious injuries??

When I was about 8, me mum and my brother and sister were walking to Dairy Bell after school. I was walking on the curb, slipped, smashed my face on the ground and snapped off my two front teeth. They were jagged so I was bleeding and my face was all scartched up. I started screaming and mum told me we’d quickly get the others an icecream then go home to the dentist.
Dairy Bell in Cheltenham has a massive mirror all along the wall so I was forced to stare at my bloody, toothless face while they ate icecream. I was sobbing as they slowly ate their icecreams.. It was torture.
I now have fake teeth that always chip off and I dream of getting porcelain veneers…
I also had to wear braces for years and years and after they came off the teeth started moving back so I still have to wear retainers to bed every night. I’m 22. I was meant to stop wearing them at 17. It’s bullshit.

@Helen – this relieves me. Is coke zero as bad as normal coke? I loathe Indian. And I use a normal toothbrush, but tenderly. Maybe I will get a kiddie one… Is your dad really a dentist? Get on Twitter already so we can have witty banter.

I’m sure Fred squared you on the details anyway, but my dentist Dad reckons it couldn’t possibly be too advanced at your age, so you should be fine as long as you focus on preventing it from getting worse! Do you use a soft toothbrush? How’s your technique? Do you drink Coke daily? Because Coke is the absolute worst thing of all time ever, apparently. How many of your weekly meals are spicy or acidic food? India digs gum recession. Just passing it on man, in case it helps – but if it doesn’t, just remember you’ll be beautiful until the day you die regardless. Feel better xo

I have a confession to make: I have not been to the dentist in 4 years. Maybe 5. It’s gotten to the point where I am afraid to go to the dentist because I know that I am going to have to get a mouth transplant.

@Fletch – between you and me, we would have normal gums. Oh and if it makes you feel any better, in Possible Side Effects, Augusten Burroughs breaks a tooth on a tater tot.

@Zac – Sue! You could be rich and buy a whole new body!

In high school my dentist discovered I was missing my adult right canine.. I simply did not have one to push down onto the child tooth. It looked fine, but they recommended I have orthodontic work now because it would be harder later, at an older age, if it were to fall out.

After having the right canine removed, all my right side teeth pushed along one place by two years of braces, and a serious amount of carving to make them look like the teeth they replaced..

I have misaligned teeth. They were fine before.

Fuck you dentist.

I think you just wanted your 10% from the orthodontist for giving him some business..
