Dentistry


I imagine most of you know that, in the past, I had the most atrociously yellowed teeth up until about a year ago. They were so very yellowed, it was amazing. My apologies to anyone and everyone who had the great displeasure of having to see them that way. You may wonder why they were so yellow. Well, it was mostly due to a bad start, lots of neglect, and ignorance.

So, how did I improve them so drastically? I started brushing them. I brushed them a lot. I still brush them a lot, and they are still improving. At first, I used a standard, non-electric toothbrush. Then later, about a year ago, I bought an electric sonic toothbrush, and it was when I started using that sonic toothbrush that the yellow started coming off fast. Throughout the process of improving the condition of my teeth, I did not use any chemical teeth-whitening products, laser treatments, etc. I did it with just brushing alone.

To be clear: I’m not claiming to have perfectly white teeth. I definitely do not have perfectly white teeth. But the difference from how they were previously to how they are now is potentially startling. It’s almost like night and day. They really were very, very yellow; maybe even better described as brown. Yuck!!

What motivated me to start taking better care of my teeth is the most interesting part of this, though. I immensely dislike saying this yet again. I really, really, really do. But a deeper explanation of that will have to wait until later. In the meantime, I will say this; God taught me some amazing things about our dental organs. He really did. I know it may sound more than a little ludacris and crazy when I say this, but I swear it is absolutely true. Believe it or not, our dental organs have a deeply and profoundly spiritual nature to them.

So, why do I keep doing that? I touch lightly upon subjects and then say that more info will have to come later (I dislike doing it sooooo much, ugh!!!!). It frustrates me hugely, and I imagine it frustrates others also. I am sincerely sorry for doing that, and I apologize for doing it over and over. Anyhow, the reason is almost always the same. That reason being, that the details would not make any sense yet or perhaps would even just sound like pure insanity without people hearing at least some of the relevant Playback content first.

As I write this, I am feeling a renewed motivation to take even better care of my teeth. So, I’m going to improve by flossing daily and setting an appointment to take care of some dental issues that have come up recently. One of those issues is that one of my crowns fell off and needs to be restored. The other is that lately I have begun to experience some abnormal sensitivity in one of my molars when drinking cold liquids. My cosmetic tooth issue (hugely jutted front tooth) will probably have to wait, though. I suspect that Earth-level dental science probably does not have a 100% non-destructive fix for that. However, I will consult a doctor (of Dental Science) about it as soon as possible.

God bless all of you!
