Oddbean new post about login | logout I went to the dentist to get some cleaning done recently and now my teeth are super fucking sensitive to cold food. I have very good dental hygiene and haven’t had a cavity in almost 10 years. I brush my teeth and floss once a day. No seed oils or refined sugar. Are these cleanings a scam? It feels like they just wear down my enamel.
You should try whitening. Holy mother of fuck.
actually you shouldn't try whitening...that'll damage your enamel (cleanings, no...)
I know it’s bad so I try not to do it more than once every 18 months.
You might be onto something I went for a cleaning 6 months ago and now I have extremely sensitivity to cold and hot liquids on a tooth on my upper right side. I had a bunch of dental work last year and was feeling good since the last root canal until the cleaning
Do you eat a lot of refined sugar and seed oils?
Probably
Sometimes I think it is. My dentist wants to see me for cleaning more times per year than insurance will pay for. 🧐
I don’t even have insurance I just pay cash. They want me to go in every 6 months. But why? I don’t have cavities. I’ve gone 5 years without seeing a dentist and still had no cavities 🤷♂️
Yup
I think so!
It seems like the dentist always wants me to go more often than the insurance covers. Even though I have good hygiene. And it seems she always wants to upsell with a mouthguard or other things. I just say no 😂
I’m surprising you’re still using insurance 😂
Mandatory in Chinada. If you don’t get the one from work you have to get the one from government
What happens if you don’t get it?
They’ll charge you for the government one on your taxes at the end of the year. Not sure if there’s a penalty https://media1.tenor.com/m/NGSi2JI_EJgAAAAC/justin-trudeau-dancing.gif
