Had a random dental appointment for a wobbly tooth, turns out it's fine but also I need 2 fillings somewhere else entirely. Unrelated advice follows:

- Get a dental checkup if you haven't in like 4 years (probably goes for opticians as well), before 2 fillings turns into 5 or 6
- Make sure to get those pesky fuckers at the back which you have to contort the toothbrush at weird angles to hit
- If the dentist offers to yank out a tooth for you, it's probably a good idea; they'll give you some anaesthetic spray and you won't have to deal with eating only with one side of your mouth for another week
- They aren't fooled if you just brush your teeth reeeaally well right before an appointment lmao
- If your water isn't already fluorinated, join a local campaign for it to be
