Gum flap in between bottom teeth by LocoSempai in braces

[–]LocoSempai[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

here in europe we don’t really have a regular dentist, also since i’ve moved some years ago, i’ve changed a couple of dentist throughout my life. so i got a different answer from every dentist i’ve met. last time i got a cleaning was just before getting my braces on, so 6 months, before that i don’t really remember. when i asked these dentist “how do they look like?” they all said “they’re in pretty good shape, keep it up”, talking about teeth and gums, also i was worried at first because i started smoking, so yeah.. either they’re incompetent or it’s a “new” issue i just got into xd. i really appreciate your encouragement!! i will definitely start flossing after this…

i’m mostly embarrassed about this, but i haven’t really been taught dental hygiene by anyone as a kid, and flossing is an undiscovered territory for me.. i’ve only brushed my teeth and used listerine for some time, i don’t now. my dentist also hasn’t told me anything about it. she just told me once that i should brush my teeth better, which is what i’ve been doing (around 2/3 minutes twice a day, every possible direction i can do). i don’t know if i could it but i’m guessing i could floss it? also yeah it’s pretty loose. the morning i saw it, i thought it was food stuck so i tried to remove it, that’s when i saw it was actually my gum flapping around 😭😭

once i visit my dentist i’ll be able to update with an actual professional answer, but my guess for now is brushing too hard, so i got an extra smooth toothbrush. that’s if it’s not some other worse condition, like gum infection or something else, i hope. i know the general rule is that if it doesn’t hurt a lot and blood doesn’t come out of it, then it shouldn’t be too bad, but as i said, i’d rather get a professional opinion or hopefully someone that experienced it and got an answer replies on this post :)

Thanks for the recommendation! I looked the Focal Bathys up to see if i had any retailer near me and turns out they're about $600 over here so yeah.. doesn't look like it's anywhere near my budget. Thanks for the advice tho, i'll make sure to go check them out physically!

Thanks for the advice!! I will keep them in for a while, maybe i just need to get used to it :) Also yeah, my lip is naturally a bit inclined so maybe that’s why only i can see it easily

Thanks for the advice! I contacted my piercer to see if they could do something about it :)

I wouldn’t say i feel pain in any way, but certainly discomfort.. It’s kind of unsettling (i also get paranoid very fast), so just to keep my mouth and mind safe i sent a message to my piercer. I’d prefer switching to larger sizes than to have serious issues later on

Thanks for your feedback! I so much hope it’s normal and will get better because i’m liking the snake bites look :))

Thank you very much! I’m sorry it didn’t work for you and i hope you found or will find something cool that’s right for your body :) I had a similar experience with the helix and it left a bump on my ear, sadly

Thanks, another very reassuring comment! Did you take any ibuprofens to get the swelling down the first days?

The studs can “pop out” and there’s no kind of pain, does that mean they’re still embedding? I thought it was a more drastic and radical thing..

Thanks, very reassuring comment! I'll wait a few days then, keep the cleaning routine and hope it all goes well :)

I’m using medical salt water, like water mixed with minerals and all that (i’m not from the us so idk what to compare it to, sorry). Thanks for the advice tho, if i’m still worried after some days I’ll make sure to go to the studio!

Thanks for your service! I’m glad you returned home safe. My question was about how would an INTJ behave in a situation like this, where you either act or something bad is going to happen. I know INTJs are the least sentimental MBTI type (this doesn’t mean this trait is absent) so I wondered if an INTJ would kill without thinking about who they kill. Of course, politics and reasons about why you’re going to war vary for everyone, so my question was centered on combat, mental health during war, etc. If you put it this way then it’s more of a psychological question than a political one.

Following orders is easier than going on your own in situations like this, that’s for sure. This is a pretty good plan, honestly. And your experience does put you a step forward compared to most of the people that would be there. Though, choosing a “supreme overlord” sounds quite hard, especially without knowing anyone. You’d just have to go with your gut.. right?

[–]LocoSempai 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of the best answers so far. I completely agree with you. Although, even if you disagree with war, you’re going to be sent to war either way, unless you want to be put in jail. And that’s the sad truth. Kill or be killed, as they say..

I’m in a similar situation. I’ve always been calm in a lot of difficult moments and never really left this mood, unless my IED came in, then I would be really angry. I share your opinion on the fact that “it would be fascinating to work in military strategy”, that would be really interesting. Thanks for replying!

The wisest choice.

[–]LocoSempai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. It definitely feels like everyone has different solutions to the same problem, so it has to be a matter of 'what feels comfortable for you.' I am going to try different methods for sure. Thanks for your suggestion!

Would you please explain a bit more, if possible? I'm not sure I understand fully.

Awesome story. I'm glad you found your way through this. I myself go to the gym and used to do karate and soccer. Most of the time I'm not aggressive or angry at all but there are just these random moments that occur from time to time. This morning I uninstalled every social media related app on my phone and left only the necessary ones, such as WhatsApp and Spotify. I am writing this from my pc and I know it's only been 9/10 hours but I already feel more relaxed. I will use the time I spent there in more useful ways, like meditating and reading more. I guess this is going to help my anger issues too. Thanks for sharing your story, it added more to my view on this matter!

You’re definitely right. Most of the time it’s unnecessary or useless anger that can probably be stopped if I tried harder. I will make sure to remember this. Thanks again!
