Not so white lie

By mintyfresh - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I had to lie to my dentist about how often I brush my teeth. I honestly don't remember the last time I did. FML

That is actually disgusting. Also, of course YDI. Yuck.

That's really, really gross. My five year old sister knows to brush her teeth every day. That's just ridiculous, and completely unhygienic of you, OP. Dental health equates to overall health, you really should work on the whole dental hygiene thing.

I brush my teeth in complete darkness to improve my night vision...I also like to brush them in the shower, I tend to brush them longer...

These are the type of people who then write FMLs complaining because their dentist massacred their mouth whilst filling a cavity. Newsflash: you wouldn't have cavities if you had proper dental hygene!

Thats not really true either. Some people can take perfect care of their teeth and still get cavities. You can inherit bad teeth. That said, I don't know how anyone can not brush their teeth for that long. I have been known to forget on occasion but by the second day my teeth remind me. They start feeling nasty! And why wouldn't you at least brush before going to the dentist? Definately YDI.

Thank you froggygrl! I have always been very good about brushing and flossing my teeth, but have had cavities in every molar. I grind my teeth, badly, which has worn away at my enamel making my teeth extremely susceptible to cavities.

I also grind my teeth. I have since I was a small child and the problem it's so bad it wakes up people sleeping near me during the night. However, I've taken excellent care of my teeth by going in for preventive treatments which are definately not expensive. And you can't inherit dental caries. It's a bacteria, ffs.

....That's not the same thing. What a ridiculous comparison.

... That's a pretty big difference there. Your teeth are eating utensils; cavemen didn't have knives and forks you know. They would have probably used something (someone mentioned salt) if their teeth started hurting or something from not brushing, which of course hadn't been invented yet. Cancer is an outside thing, if you didn't know. You're not born with cancer, but you might get it. Think before you post next time.

brush your ******* teeth, you suck at life. it's safe to say you are a single chronic mastwrbater

Not saying you're supposed to skip brushing because it can lead to bad things, but elohel at everyone freaking out about how gross it must be. I've met a few people who admitted they don't brush their teeth and yet had perfect looking teeth or lack of any smelly breath I noticed. Lots of people probably skip and you guys just don't know it. But still OP, learn to brush your teeth. YDI.
