I find whenever I make a drastic hair change that after a few days, I couldn’t imagine going back to the old style

Peppycito ,

It’s like if you shave a mustache. “Where’d your lip go?!” then 2 days later you look normal again.

Tobacconist and Sommelier.

I for one support this. Sure it’s not perfect and the bias checker had its own bias, but it’s merely am advisory, you can disregard it if you want.

Immediate Practical: Stopped social media

I didn’t want to make the conversation about this by mentioning it in the post but it was definitely one of the things on my mind.

Brush and floss

Brush, floss and mouthwash. Stay clear of gum and soda.

Based on recent research, mouthwash is now in question in my books.

We aimed to assess if daily usage of Listerine Cool Mint influenced the composition of the pharyngeal microbiome… Listerine use was associated with an increased abundance of common oral opportunistic bacteria previously reported to be enriched in periodontal diseases, oesophageal and colorectal cancer, and systemic diseases. These findings suggest that the regular use of Listerine mouthwash should be carefully considered.

Basically, it differentially kills good bacteria, leaving more of the bad kind.

What about sugar-free gum?

It’s not the sugar, it’s the abrasive.

BearOfaTime , to nostupidquestions in What are some things you can do to maintain your teeth when you don't have health insurance and can't afford dental care?

Brush and floss just like your dentist tells you. Also use a real mouthwash, like Listerine.

PenisDuckCuck9001 OP ,

If you do exactly what your dentist tells you, you should be coming in every 6 months for a checkup…

BearOfaTime ,

And your point?

Fine. Don’t brush and floss every day. Don’t visit the dentist often. It’s your call. It’s your teeth.

Between genetics and laziness, most people need a cleaning every 6 months.

If you don’t think you do, then don’t. Last I checked the dentist isn’t your mom or dad.

njm1314 ,

That’s wildly out of the financial means of a lot of us.

Shop around, you can frequently get discounts or cheaper rates if you tell them you're uninsured / self pay. I've had to do this during tough financial times.

There may also be some luxuries or other corners you can safely cut if you go over your budget with a fine toothed comb.

tamal3 ,

Sorry, but it just gets more expensive to care for them later. Aim for at least a yearly cleaning/exam so that they can catch issues before they become serious. Twice a year is better.

And find a dentist that is conservative about fillings. My dentist almost never recommends procedures unless there is actual decay, and I trust them to not push work on me that I don’t need.

@canadaduane@lemmy.ca avatar

See comment above, but basically, I question whether mouthwash is all that, based on recent research: www.microbiologyresearch.org/…/jmm.0.001830

deranger ,

Gotta get the mouthwash with fluorine; not all kinds of Listerine have it.

You don’t, so appreciate the time you’ll have hair. Because once it’s truly gone, you’ll look back on this day and cry.

Thank you butthole spiders! 🕷️🕷️🕷️

CanadaPlus ,

I’d just like to say, as an actually bald person, I think it’s okay. It suits me, it’s low-maintenance, and it’s nice in hot weather.

Because it's rigged against you. US has the most expensive health care in the world - It's not natural, this is crafted oligopoly to gouge the prices
