I have taken to scrubbing them at least twice a week with a wet paste of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide. A friend's mother was having a lot of gum problems causing her teeth to actually become loose. My friend remembered reading about the soda and peroxide being an excellent cure for that. She started using it and her teeth are no longer loose and her gums have improved significantly.

Baking soda is all my mom used to brush her teeth with, and she never had any problems with her teeth or gums. Back when I was little tooth powder was still popular, too. Yuck

Might have to try that. Trust me, you do not want to go through the gum disease thing.

I think my next round might be a full set of implants (insert boobie joke here).

I think one implant would be cause for serious consideration.

I knocked most of mine out with a Lug Wrench....all the front ones came out that day, took the rest of them 2 years to fall out.

If you consider a lug wrench a dental tool...

You just might be a Redneck.

It proved itself to be....lol!
Redneck or not, it was one of the most painful things I have ever experienced. More accurately, it was explosively painful. The damn wrench slipped and BANG!

My fronts were mangled by a winch bar that broke, which also broke my nose. Nose recovered quite well....teeth are another story. Now that I have a job with dental insurance, this will probably be remedied in the very near future.

FYI....

Dentures, partial or full, are a perfectly suitable fix for missing teeth, at least on top. Dentists keep pushing implants on me, and I keep refusing them. Too damned expensive (and not covered by Delta, last I checked), and no guarantee whatsoever that they'll last. OTOH...dentures do the job just fine.

Bar or no bar, I hope you bitch slapped the miserable winch.

I don't. I've learned over and over that arguing and especially fighting with inanimate objects is the wrong thing to do. They ALWAYS win!

And even if they don't, they don't care if they lose. It's worse than fighting Republicans!

OTOH, somebody needs to be bitch-slapped for that groan-worthy pun that I missed the first time.

I got whacked in the jaw by a winch bar once when the ratchet pawl slipped. Nothing broken but it hurt like hell and left a nice bruise.
