The dentist (first time in 15 years!)

ouch!

didn't realised that excessive carbonated drinks can do so much damage... but then i supposed excessive anything would do much damage! :D

I believe my awesome efforts over the years in brushing also contributed to the cause.

I had that photo enlarged and framed so I can remind myself to brush properly + no more soft drinks.

This lasted about a week.

Sorry to hear that it was painful, As i understand what you mean by the pain of those needles...:(


I remember getting my first anesthetic needle "i think it was", to pull a Child tooth out as it was blocking a Adult tooth growing underneath after getting called out of class to go to a dental clinic on the other side of the Primary School in NZ. :(

mouth germs eat sugars and make acid which eat you teeth
food acids cause erosion - main from citric acids, sports drinks etc

you remove the food.
there are red disclosing tablets which dye the plaque red, therefore showing you where your teeth are skanky and therefore need to be cleaned better.
circular motions or flicking from the gums with a small head and soft bristled toothbrush and FLUORIDE toothpaste - as when you clean your teeth you are disturbing the plaque and then putting fluoride over the tooth surface to strengthen it :D

OK, that's too descriptive :P just as well I'm not the one with the problem (remember I hadn't seen a dentist for the first 30 years) and the first time I saw one, it was a bi-annual clean (my wife complained that I'm not utilising our health cover)
