I chipped my back teeth on something, but it ain’t hurting so i am making an effort to not worry about it. Not like i even want to live to see my body breaking down in old age anyway.
I’m currently living through my most stessful week of my life: About a year and a half ago, I bought a plot of land with the project of building a home there, inflation and loan rate kicked in, so I thought “alright let’s wait a bit see when it stabilizes”, this week I learned my plot is planned to be removed from the “buildable” area. If I don’t put a building permit to the city council before this is voted my land will basically see it’s value divided by 20 and I won’t be able to build a house there, I put 6 years of savings into this project… all because my gov decided that they didn’t want this area to be urbanised anymore.
I have trouble sleeping and working I can’t think of anything else, I also lost my appetite.
Thank you for the kind message. We are looking into these alternative options, they come with their own set of laws and stuff, we don’t really know yet what we can do.
This is happening to my father as well, although the city is doing the opposite: he can’t build a house on his property, he has to build a minimum of 40 apartments (it’s a 1/2 acre lot).
This. I’ve only been recently able to afford much needed dental care, and now it’s too late for one of my teeth, a tooth above it broke the roots because my mouth is too crowded. Had I been able to afford it earlier, I would have a much more normal mouth.
I have larger than average teeth too, so I had braces all of middle school.
Hoping the cause of this is something simple like a sinus infection, though the area has a baby tooth that’s managed to hang on and it has fillings from when I was a kid.
My problem is the opposite, normal teeth, small mouth! Haven’t ever been able to have braces until now, so I’m knocking it all out now. Hope everything goes well for you!
my parents didn't have teeth by the time they were in their 30s either. Americans have a rather out-of-proportion concern about their teeth. I know its a trope that Englishman have bad teeth, but look, dental isn't covered by British universal health care because most times its primarily cosmetic , even things American dentists say are essential, and not a true health concern.
lol at the thought of “this part of your body that you use multiple times every day for vital survival functions and various other functions like communication is mostly cosmetic, you’ll do just fine without!”
Teeth bleaching is cosmetic, crowns and fillings and whatever are restoration of normal functioning.
If we were meant to be ok without properly functioning teeth, we wouldn’t have teeth in the first place. That’s a stupid argument biologically speaking. (No offense intended to you personally, ofc)
I understand that Americans have a disproportionate focus on the -specifically cosmetic- aspects of oral hygiene, whiteness and straightness, primarily, but to say that most oral care is unnecessary and purely cosmetic is just absolute hogwash.
Mind you this is from someone who intends to get all her teeth ripped out and replaced with implants because no matter what I do, I average a cavity every 2-4 years. It’s cheaper in the long run to get implanted dentures than to fight my genes. So I understand entirely the being toothless by 30 (tho I’m 36 and still have all of them, I think I have more fillings than teeth at this point, and if most of those weren’t done free in the military I’d just have no teeth) but I disagree vehemently with the idea that that’s totally fine and won’t cause problems.
oh it’s fine, you know how when deer get old and their teeth are all worn away or whatever, and they can’t eat anymore and they just starve to death… it’s just part of life! /s
Go ahead and live with dentures then. When your bottoms pop out every time you eat steak, remember what you said here. Teeth are absolutely essential. It’s cheaper to take care of your natural teeth than it is to drop 30k on implant-supported dentures, or if you’re broke, just basic ones.
Source: I work in the field. Bottom dentures are by far the most disappointing service we do.
Of course theyll pull the first season, how else would the network drive people to go sign up for their separate shitty streaming site that barely works for an additional $9/mo?
Meanwhile your friendly neighborhood pirate has the first, second, third AND fourth seasons, as well as all the extras and the Christmas special, always available all the time…
Your words struck a chord with me, and I find myself nodding in agreement. I wholeheartedly agree with everything you’ve said. It’s refreshing to hear such a clear and well-articulated take on “this”. I couldn’t have said it better myself.
