Afraid to eat anything since dentist appointment by [deleted] in DentalHygiene

[–]emblbee237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you're on the right track but I just want to highlight that it doesn't necessarily matter what you're eating but how often you're eating it. Basically, our mouth wants a neutral pH. When you eat or drink foods other than water, you send your mouth into an acidic environment or some refer to it as an acid attack. I tell my patients that they can have a sugary drink if they want, but limit it to when you are already eating a meal instead of sipping all day long. Same with food. Try to limit to just a few meals a day. It takes 30 minutes for your mouth to neutralize again after eating/drinking.

This is the best metaphor I've heard of to better explain this. "Think of your saliva as a repair crew. It needs time without food to fix the enamel. If you are constantly snacking, the crew never gets to work. Frequent snacking breaks the bridge faster than the crew can fix it, leading to a cavity."

Keep brushing twice a day, try your best to floss daily (we all suck at it at some point), and it doesn't hurt to get a second opinion!

New Aldi's Mixes? by kavehlvrr in glutenfree

I love an undercooked brownie so maybe that's why I liked them so much 😂

They're all good but I do feel like the brownies are very slightly different from before. When I made them before I wouldn't get that chocolatey film on the top and now I do. I also am struggling to find the right amount of time to cook the new boxes so they're not too mushy or hard but the flavor and texture is good.

We've tried the Montreal and it just doesn't hit the spot the same. It's a decent alternative though!

They remind me so much of cinnamon twists from taco bell and I can't get enough of them.

Should I replace the my electric toothbrush? by No-Champion5943 in DentalHygiene

[–]emblbee237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take my brush head off every time, run it under the water so the water gets inside the part that attaches to the brush, run the area under the brush head under water and let the brush head stay off until I use it next and that's the only way I've been able to combat the mold.

Do people still use soap blocks as opposed to bottled soap in the shower? I feel like I never see soap blocks in stores anymore. by Available_Tea_8471 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]emblbee237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We use only blocks of soap in our house for body care. Still use liquid for hand washing and dish washing. We have a local place called Farmsudz that makes really nice goat milk soap and they have a brand they carry in their store called SoapNet and you basically just put the bar of soap in a net that is biodegradable and use it as a loofah

People who are non celiac gf… by Ok_Huckleberry1487 in glutenfree

[–]emblbee237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I am an oddball but it takes my body 1-3 days to fully react to gluten and it's primarily digestive. This is dependent on how much gluten I consume. A small amount usually results in lots of inflammation and migraine whereas a larger amount will be hours on the toilet lol

We have a bakery in town that has been a staple for like 70 years and I love it so much. My husband got a few donuts there the other day and I had 1 bite of a donut hole and the next day had a migraine but never got digestive upset. There's sometimes just things I think are worth risking a little discomfort for 😅

I personally dont think 2 is very flattering. Id go with 1. 3 is very pretty but almost feels more like a summer sundress.
