have perfect teeth

So I have to admit that I am still not keeping up with all my promises to myself about brushing and flossing as often as I need to. I did, however, take a major step toward achieving this goal: I put out my last cigarette yesterday. In six months, I will consider myself a non-smoker officially and will celebrate by getting my teeth professionally whitened! :)

I want my teeth whitened. I want my overbite corrected. I want my midline deviation corrected. I want maxillofacial surgery (if that’s what it takes) to correct the alignment of my jaw. Not to mention that a check-up and cleaning are overdue. And… all these things cost money that I do not have at present.

So, I figure the most pro-active attitude I can adopt is to focus on what I can do to start improving the appearance of my teeth while I save up for the larger process.

My goal today is to floss (because, let’s be honest, I skip it most of the time). Here are some other steps I want to take (and know that I can take!) to start feeling less self-conscious about my smile.

1) Do NOT allow myself to start my day or hit the sack without brushing. EVER again.

2) Start brushing and flossing after lunch too.

3) Buy some mouthwash. Start using it. (Okay, I feel gross admitting that needs to be done, but maybe that’s the kick in the ass I need to take care of my mouth finally!)

4) Pick up an at-home whitening treatment when I get my paycheck.

Of course, quitting smoking and giving up my addiction to soda pop are also requirements to reach this goal… I feel I often put off caring for my teeth because I feel so daunted by the need to quit cigarettes, change my diet, and save up the huge amount of money that it will take to repair my smile. I get so discouraged and overwhelmed that I end up adopting a “why bother?” attitude. I need to end that cycle now.

This week I will follow through with each of the commitments I made above because I know that I can fix my teeth if I tackle this one step at a time!

I’ve always had dental problems, dentists have told me that I’ll continue to have problems for life, I’m cutting out smoking which will help a bit, cutting back on soda which will help, but really just need to go in and let the dentists go to town…my teeth aren’t awful, but could use some help, not looking forward to what they will have in store for me nor the bill for it.

Went to the dentist today. I have a couple of small cavities in my Wisdom teeth, yep I still have them. After I get those taken care of I have been referred to an orthodontist for Invisalign consultation.

I would like to have gum surgery to correct my gummy smile and find a great cosmetic dentist to make for me a set of beautiful straight perfect white teeth. I don’t smile as much as I would like to… People assume I am a stuck up bitch, but, that is not true at all… I am very insecure about my smile…

I will be going for an op soon to get my four dysfunctionally places Wisdom teeth surgically removed. Then I’ll wait for that to heal and get some professional orthodontistry done.

I went to the dentist for the first time in 6 years yesterday. Yes, 6 years! That is an awfully long time! I used to go loyaly every 6 months before that but I don’t know what happened. At any rate it was not a pleasent experience because I was long overdue. My goal now is to brush and floss at least 2x each day.

I want to brush, floss and use mouthwash everyday, because I feel better if my teeth are clean and look good. I had braces for a few years, so my teeth look nice, they are not that white, so I want to change that.

i do have perfect teeth—was born with it i suppose. they’re really straight, and i never needed braces. plus, i have all my wisdom teeth and they didn’t push anything around. the only bad thing, i am really prone to cavities. also had tons of root canals done :(. but, that’s not a problem either as long as you take care of it right away. everyone can have perfect teeth these days.
