I I made an oath to refuse to wear a mask; period. I played along last year for my jobsake, but not another day will i tolerate it. I fully see now this never ends until we ourselves stop tolerating it with complete veracity and conviction. Not at my job. Not for food. Nowhere. Frens, i could use godly council in this. I live in Virginia but on the east coast so i have to cross a bridge just to go to the dentist as it is. I've been worn down by this because I realize the severity of not having dental treatment in the long run. I can't predict how long this mask fiasco will go on but i made a vow not to play along anymore. My words mean nothing if I cave in now. I pray the Father gives me strength in the Holy Spirit to be obedient to this no matter the cost. In Jesus name, amen.
If anyone knows a dentist near the east coast of Virginia, preferably tge Southern end, not playing along with this garbage, please help.
God bless you all with the Holy Spirit, in Jesus name, amen.
The main reason we go is to remove tartar and plaque so if there is a home remedy for that then I'm down.
This bears repeating til the cows come home
Everyone thinking they can adequately clean under the gumline and prevent gingivitis and eventual periodontitis is seriously spectacularly deluded. Start reading up and saving up now for your oral surgery and dentures or dental implants, because you're going to need them.
Ignored my teeth for ten years after a handful of bad times at the dentist. Not recommended. Fixing that shit hurt, cost a fortune, and half my teeth were still beyond saving.
10k later and I still can't chew because they did something that fucked up my jaw joint. Fuckin sucks, can't open my mouth enough to take a good bite. In hindsight I should have just gone full gummy Joe and been done with it.
Thanks for the support xD
I don't get tartar or plaque. I avoid food and drink that causes them.
What foods are they? I've been cutting back a lot lately.
Then I 2nd the electric toothbrush. I have a fear of teeth cleaning and every time I go they find hundreds of dollars of work to do. I do what I can from home & basically see the dentist when I can't fix the issue myself. Electric toothbrush, coconut oil pulling, clove oil for pain, fish antibiotics for infection. I haven't done so but I believe baking soda is good for tartar along with peroxide like another person mentioned.
Thank you so much. I have found based dentists I will be considering in the future thanks to you all. God bless your with the Holy Ghost in Jesus name, amen.
Get some activated charcoal, mix with smashed strawberries and make your own teeth whitening and polishing paste, wouldn't do it more than once a week. Stuff removes stains like you wouldn't believe. I've heard baking soda is abrasive enough to take off your enamel.
Interesting, I've never heard of adding strawberries to charcoal. This sounds better than baking soda, at least one ingredient tastes good!
Strawberries will apparently whiten your teeth while the charcoal is a softer abrasive than baking soda. After I use this stuff I feel like I just left the dentist.
Dunno if this will help, but feel free to give it a go... I just went to a dentist recently for the first time in about twelve years. She did a super-quick cleaning and said I was good to go, because there was almost no tartar or plaque there to remove, and she was thrilled at how healthy my gums were! (I was gobsmacked myself to hear this.)
Two things I've been doing for awhile now: using Tom's of Main FLUORIDE-FREE whitening toothpaste -- sweetened with XYLITOL -- and occasionally using a dampened toothpick to rub away some of the plaque-y film gently from the surface of my teeth.
Apparently that Xylitol (you can also find it in sugar-free gum like Orbit) has the effect of neutralizing plaque build-up, and with that plus the gentle rubbing from the softened wet toothpick (like the old-timers supposedly used frayed twigs), it seems to have worked out great. Just be careful of splinters. ;) Good luck!
Thank you and God bless you with the Holy Spirit, in Jesus name, amen
God bless you too, fren.
I use a sewing needle to get the plaque off my bottom teeth! Less for the hygienist to pick and scrape lol :P
That's so "metal" xD. 🤘 thanks for the idea. God bless you in Jesus name with the Holy Ghost. Amen.
