don’t know how to explain this because i’m not a dentist but like. your teeth are supposed to be slightly yellow. nobody actually has perfectly white teeth and having them doesn’t mean you get a better grade in dental health than people who don’t have white teeth. i take care of my dental health about the same as most people and my teeth are yellow and i have a brown spot on one of my bottom teeth. your teeth are supposed to look a little funky!!

Dentists need training to work with ADHD and/or autistic patients, especially around sensory issues. I've never had a dental appointment where the dentist or hygienist didn't assume that I was too stupid to know how to take care of my teeth or too lazy to care.
Listen, I know that I should be brushing my teeth twice a day. I know that I should be flossing. I know that I shouldn't rinse my mouth after brushing. The reason I don't do it the "right" way is not because I don't know better or that I'm too lazy. It's sensory issues (and a bit of executive dysfunction)!
For me, the taste of the toothpaste just hanging out in my mouth, the dryness is causes, hell, just the feeling of the brush on my gums. At best it's unpleasant. Often it's physically painful.
I would argue that other people with sensory issues also know what they should be doing when it comes to taking care of their teeth. It isn't a knowledge gap on our end, and treating us like we just don't know any better does nothing to help the issue.
I've never had a dentist or hygienist try to understand why this is such a barrier. They've never worked with me to find new ways that get me a little closer to 'good' oral hygiene. They've never educated about how to brush or floss, especially if you can't the way I'm supposed to. They've only ever told me the rules that I already know:
That I shouldn't drink as much pop as I do.
That I should brush twice without rinsing.
That I should floss.
That I should come in every 6 months.
They've never stopped to consider that I physically can't do that.
Today, I had to stop the hygienist in the middle of the cleaning because I just couldn't take the squealing of the water pick. Even before stopping them, I was gripping the arm of the chair so hard my hands lost all color. The hygienist was shocked that it was so painful. In meeting with the dentist, I mentioned that the sound of the drill is INCREDIBLY painful to me. She suggested music.
It was immediately clear that we were talking about different things.
Best I can tell, she seems to think that it's just an annoyance. Like I'm hearing a fly buzzing around the room and it's frustrating me. That is not my experience. My experience with the drill is intense, unavoidable, piercing pain. Music doesn't distract from that.
In my view, dentists are the experts when it comes to oral health, but that expertise is useless if you can't communicate it to a patient to meet their needs. When I bring up my sensory issues and the dentist has less than nothing to offer, that expertise is useless.
Dentists not being trained to work with sensory issues throws the burden of fixing the problem back on us, often with a GIANT helping of guilt. That makes us less likely to attend to our oral health not more.
This is exactly why it's been 7 years since I've been to the dentist, and honestly, it might well be 7 more at this rate

"Keeping the pretty white smile sparkling takes more than just a quick brush and floss at home. Regular dental checkups, ideally every 6 months, are your secret weapon for maintaining a healthy mouth and preventing future problems."

Banish Yellow Teeth
Tumblr media
Yellow teeth can be a source of self-consciousness for a lot of people, but understanding why they occur can help us take steps to prevent them.
What is yellow teeth?
One common cause of yellow teeth is the natural aging process, as our enamel thins and reveals more of the yellowish dentin underneath.
Additionally, certain foods and drinks like coffee, tea, and red wine can stain our teeth over time. Poor oral hygiene, smoking, and certain medications can also contribute to yellowing teeth. But don't worry, there are steps we can take to prevent and treat yellow teeth, from regular brushing and flossing to professional teeth whitening treatments.
Tumblr media
What causes yellow teeth and how to prevent it?
Foods and drinks with high levels of acid, such as citrus fruits, soda, and sports drinks, can erode the enamel on our teeth and make them more susceptible to staining.
2. Dark-colored foods and drinks like coffee, tea, red wine, and berries can stain our teeth over time, especially if consumed frequently or in large amounts.
3. Consuming sugary or starchy foods and drinks can create an environment in our mouth that promotes the growth of bacteria, which can lead to yellowing and decay of our teeth.
4. A diet lacking in certain vitamins and minerals, such as calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin C, can weaken our teeth and make them more susceptible to yellowing and decay.
Overall, a balanced diet that is low in sugar, acid, and dark-colored foods and drinks, and high in essential vitamins and minerals, can help keep our teeth healthy and prevent yellowing.
Tumblr media
What can I do to whiten my teeth and prevent yellowing in the future?
For an extra help, other than dietary changes (let's face it, coffee is too good to let go of anyway) I recommend NuSkin AP24 Whitening Toothpaste.
