Veneers: Never get composite resin or porcelain veneers on your front teeth or other teeth if you are under 40 years old, unless you have very worn teeth that cause pain. They are an excuse for the dentist to make money. ^{myxlfidian (150)}

Laser dentistry: Be very careful. I recommend you do not use it as some dentists can keep turning up the sensitivity dial on it until too much of your teeth gets ground away. ^{myxlfidian (150)}

Electric toothbrushes (rubberised bristles): If you find that your electric toothbrush causes you a bit of pain, switch to rubberised bristle heads. They are probably 6 or 7 times softer and cause no pain at all.

Electric toothbrushes will save you untold amounts of money on cavities as they have hundreds more strokes than a manual toothbrush. ^{myxlfidian (150)}

Food trap: If you have an area between two teeth that gets food caught in it all the time, get it fixed immediately. It can be fixed by a good dentist, and lasts years thereafter. It may be expensive though as it usually involves rebuilding a worn filling. ^{myxlfidian (150)}

Teeth cleaning: It does whiten your teeth and is recommended every six months. Make sure the dentist uses an expensive head. It might not take long but if they use the cheaper heads on the cleaning apparatus, it won't clean as well. Teeth bleaching is far riskier as it involves chemicals. ^{myxlfidian (150)}

Teeth colour: Teeth are not naturally white, but their normal colour is a shade of yellow. If the majority of people have their teeth artificially whitened this will make normal people's teeth look discoloured. So your "gain" will be other people's loss. Dentists want you to feel unhappy with your natural teeth so that they can get even richer than they already are, at your expense. ^{Kevin Solway (173)}
