When I was a little tyke the dentist gave us "safety suckers", instead of a stick the sucker was on a loop of string. I remember him smiling saying "there you go, son". My sister preferred the lemon, but I was a cherry man. No damned wonder my teeth are full of amalgam fillings.
Just more proof that what many health care professionals "claim" is harmful, really isn't, and vice versa. Smoking, candy, sweets, dip, blah blah blah. It's all in your genes folks. Enjoy fucking life, stop worrying about the carbs/calories, etc. you take in. And don't get the rona vax unless you're high risk. This is my public service comment for the day.
Rayvet, I don't think you understand what "proof" is. But I encourage you to test your proposition by smoking several hundred packs of cigarettes a day for as long as you can. Also, no, don't get the "vaxx" period, unless you want to destroy your immune system, and die.
Bit much there anonymous(hundreds of packs daily). My mother has smoked 2+ packs per day since forever and she's 80 and still going strong. If "smoking" gets her now know what, it wasn't smoking. It's all genetic. Plain and simple. My medical training and experience has taught me that. You know how many people were exposed to asbestos and how many got sick? Just the ones genetically predisposed. You know how many of us use roundup and how many got sick? Just the one's genetically predisposed. The same with the vaccine, but it's obvious more people are genetically predisposed to it's adverse effects than it benefits. It's simple statistics but just escapes most people's grasp.
Perhaps surprisingly, sugar-laden drinks are not a prime cause of tooth decay. The liquid spends so little time in contact with the teeth that acids have no time to form from the sugars.
The food that has a much greater tendency to cause cavities is the common potato crisp (or similar snack food, like Cheetos or corn chips). The pulp that they turn into once chewed lodges in the crevices in teeth, and spends a lot of time percolating into acids that etch tooth enamel.
There's plenty of evidence that the main cause of cavities is demineralization - not of teeth, but of the body, which then prevents the saliva from re-mineralizing the teeth. Sugar, whether it remains on the teeth or in the mouth at all, is a major contributor to that. As is not eating your vegetables, eating junk food (which doesn't have the minerals) white flour (which dhtm) etc. Processed food in general has MUCH less minerals. As all our produce due to the demineralization of our farmlands.
Of course the MAIN cause is bacteria. If you don't have certain strains of bacteria in your mouth, you WILL NOT get cavities. I can personally attest to this. From 17-28yrs, I had zero cavities, and also didn't brush or floss. Or kiss or otherwise expose myself to contamination. Got married, 2 yrs later got another filling.
I must have an upper class dentist as he provides various wines, waters and if you need it a Valium. After you’re done they bring in the rolled up hot towel on a silver platter. I only asked when they would start serving scotch or bourbon. MadMarlin
I used to leave early for my dentist appointments, so that I could stop at the French bistro across the street from the dentist’s office for a cocktail before my visit. It really, really helped me get over my negative feelings about going to the dentist.
A wise barkeep will put out free peanuts or anything salty. Keep em thirsty. In some states I believe that practice is now against the law.

I think my dentist gave my parents a steak dinner.

DeleteThe cure for a lot of people's ailments start with getting the fuck off their asses.
