   How white are your teeth? What is your routine? Have you ever tried whiteners?
   
   When I was a teenager I did not give a fuck about hygiene. I was gross as fuck. This meant not brushing regularly. My teeth are now yellowish because of it. I've been brushing three times a day for a while now, but I think I'm just stuck with this. I also smoked on/off from 16-22, which didn't help.
   
   I've tried hydrogen peroxide and whitening strips, but the effect is minimal and I always end up regretting it. Like now. I just put a tray in for maybe 5 minutes and it started burning like fuck because that shit got into my gums and killing babies. I want to try charcoal too, but poisoning. Sometimes I wish I could just get them knocked out for dentures like they used to do in the 1700's, but I guess I'll just deal with it.

   Mine are going to be fucked in like 10-15 years from constant tension and clenching if I don't stop, which I can't. Right now I guess they're alright, definitely don't have yuppie teeth but also not really fucked up, especially considering the amount of drugs I've done.
   
   I've brushed twice a day for a good while now though. I also used mouthwash somewhat obsessively while tweaking so maybe that helped but idk.

   Yeah, I do the clenching too. Especially at night. I'll be trying to fall asleep and have to keep consciously unscrunching my face and unclenching my jaw. I don't think I do it hard enough to grind them down though.

   Probably yeah, but unless it causes me discomfort I'm not gonna worry about it.
   
   On a related note, I feel sorry for people who ever have to deal with braces.

   I need a second to take this all in and digest it. Definitely a mouthful of food for thought to chew on.

    Yea the dentist told me to get a mouthguard but I already have enough trouble sleeping as it is and can't fall asleep with a big ass piece of plastic in my mouth. I heard you can get a botox injection on the muscle or someshit but that's like 3 or 400 dollars and it seems weird kind of.

    Pro Tip : Always swish water around in your mouth while you drink it in between brushings, debriding teeth & rehydrating all @ once.

    I started to floss every day when I came to recognize how much great teeth can elevate a woman's looks

    Daily an(nu)ally [dissolutely whisk the pantheon]
    I wore braces when I was a teen and whiten my teeth using the Philips Zoom home teeth whitening kit to override the daily coffee and the social cigarette stains
    
    My mouth literally smells and tastes like citrus
