Recently got cavities filled, and ever since I noticed way more food gets between my filled teeth - I'm talking huge chunks of meat or whatever else I'm fishing out while flossing. Sometimes I even have to go back a couple more times to make sure it's all out, which makes my gums sore. At first I figured it was normal to have more space between teeth post-filling but now I'm wondering if this isn't right. Is this something I should return to the dentist about? If it's a problem, would the dentist need to redo the fillings entirely or is it a pretty easy fix?

using a dental dam for a filling is not standard of care. some dentists use it, others don't, it's not really indicative of quality of dentist. maybe it's fair to say dentists who do this are more likely to be good at their job, but i don't think the inverse is true. second, if you had very tight contacts to begin with, it's reasonable for them to be a little bit looser post-restoration, especially depending on what the restoration actually entailed and how big it was.

>using a dental dam for a filling is not standard of care. some dentists use it, others don't, it's not really indicative of quality of dentist.

Today's restorative dentistry works thanks to adhesion. The composite resins used in dentistry stay in their place because they're "glued" to the prisms of the enamel and partly of the dentin through a chemical process of etching and bonding the surfaces of the tooth you're working on.

This is wonderful and a big leap forward compared to the good ole black amalgam alloys used in the past century, they're more esthetically pleasant, look better, have better properties and requires less drilling to stay in place. There's just one rule you have to respect , you have to control the humidity of the surface you're working on,hence why the use of the dental dam. If you try to glue something onto a wet surface (and mouths tend to be extremely wet places) that something will fall down, it's as simple as that..
There are some cases where the use of the dam is extremely hard (baby kids, people with a strong gag reflex, cavities under the gum level) and the dentist decide to not use it, but they are the exceptions.
Not using a dam in the year of our Lord + 26 is not excusable. It's a form of respect towards your work, because it will last more, and towards the patient, because you know you are using the best technique to ensure his money aren't going wasted paying for a cavity that will fall in a couple of months, or even worse, that will infiltrate again with bacteria because the seal between resin and tooth is not complete, and the tooth must be opened, cleaned and filled again.

> it's reasonable for them to be a little bit looser post-restoration

I see what you mean, but there is a big difference between a "loose contact point", and a non existent contact point like the OPs one, where food and stuff gets stuck on a daily basis

Hello anon, you're doing everything you can to ensure you have an healthy mouth, I'd say you're better than a good 90% of the population. Good job with the spitting the toothbrush instead of rinsing, that's very effective. Also it's great that you floss so frequently.
The only thing missing, as you didn't mention it, is having a yearly checkup by a professionals so that he can check every nook and crannies of your mouth and see if there's bad stuff to correct and maybe take an rx.

> black spots on top and the seems to be some degeneration in some parts (like the tooth has some small parts missing on top

The black spots on top are probably tiny cavities in the groovws of the enamel. Do they look like pic related? If yes, don't worry too much. They're quite common and rather easy to treat, the enamel and dentin are very thick in that part of the tooth so the risk of a root canal is quite low. Also, if you consume a lot of coffee, tea, red wine, or drink stuff with dark pigments, sometimes those pigments stains the grooves of the molars and the result may look like a cavity.
You have to show them to a dentist though, that's the only way to know what's going on. But they're nothing too bad, really, especially if they never hurt before or if you don't feel pain when chewing or when you're eating cold or sugary stuff.
I'm not sure I understand the part about the degeneration of the tooth. Maybe the tooth is a bit eroded because you suffer from bruxism and you grind /clench at night? You can post a photo, in fact that would be the best way for me to tell you what's going on, no worries. I don't know if that's ok with the rules of /fit/ though, but again there's people posting pics of their body all the time here.

And CICO works long term for anyone who continues to control their caloric intake. In fact, that's how keto works too! If it helps you control your intake by moderating your hunger, that's great. Everybody's different.

What are the best stretching exercises for mobility that can be overloaded and progressed on, besides the big 5 (pike, pancake, front split, middle split, bridge)? Don't have convenient access to the gym rn so decided i will be doing it for now.
Been progressing on ankle dorsiflexion with good results using exercises from this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkW7ttSkWrY and also just standing on incline surface with one leg slowly increasing the angle.

Anyone done the surgery to get their deviated septum fixed? I've been mouth breathing more lately I'm thinking about biting the bullet and say fuck it get the surgery done. My airway is pretty narrow. I'm on nasal sprays but they dont help much at the moment

Broke my nose as a kid and had a deviated septum for years after. I had two septoplasties done, one didn’t do anything and my septum went back to being deviated, the other one was a revision and barely made an improvement. Considering going for a rhinoplasty + septoplasty combo and seeing if reshaping my nose will make me be able to breathe normally again.

>>77363822
I've reported back here >>77364912

Had something to eat now, back home, no pain so far. Quick procedure. Would recommend.

Cost me £0 through NHS, had reduced turbinates (bilateral) and septoplasty.

Fingers crossed I get a good result.

I swear to god synchronicity is real man. I just had my post op appointment yesterday for my septoplasty, Im officially a week and a day since my surgery and now I see a /fit/ thread about it. For the record I got the septoplasty, turbinate reduction, and repair of bilateral nasal valve. I can answer any questions you guys have but for now I'll list some thoughts about my experience
>Everything total cost 160 dollars for me personally (aetna insurance)
>Recovery was rough this past week, bleeding kept going for like 5 days
>Blood clots suck, i had a bunch of slug sized clots that block everything
>I was prescribed hydrocodone but didnt need it
>My post op appointment is where they finally removed the silicone inserts
>Without the inserts, I'm breathing pretty well, i went for a run today and worked out, my breathing performance felt in line if not slightly better than with my usual fucked up septum
>My breathing should only get better in the coming weeks when swelling reduces
>Do your saline rinses
>Prepare for how your going to handle sleep, this is the single worst part about recovery
>Use a shit ton of lip balm or Vaseline before bed
>Sleep with a humidifer right next to you, you will only be able to breath through your mouth for pretty much the entire week
Again, Im only a week out of my surgery but if you guys have any other questions please ask. Im excited for my breathing to get better and better in the coming weeks

Eating more is too fucking hard. I don't understand how fat people can do this.

The only way is to buy a hyper caloric drink but I'm broke. Already tried hungry stimulants and still no progress.

I remember a routine checkup with my doctor. As she was examining me, she suggested it would be a good idea for me to start exercising. That caught my attention, and I proudly replied that I get physical activity every day: I ride my bike around town. And I’ll always remember her response: a smirk followed by a “yeah...”

It really upset me at the time, but a few years later, I realized that the only physical activities that are truly beneficial from a medical standpoint are running and weight training.

Doesn't work like that. Cyclists have almost a unique advantage with indoor cardio because they can easily replicate the conditions of a race. While you can do this with a treadmill the self pacing mechanism is such a learned thing and has to be routinely practiced much more. Since there are no gears on a run.

the redpill is that aesthetics are largely defined by your genetics, that doesn't mean you shouldn't work out, it means your fitness goals shouldn't be centered around looks as you'll end up being apart of the 90% of people that don't get the results they want and end up quitting and then eventually dying of cancer or heart disease.

I suspect I was secretly fed ssri in my late teens and developed a habit or out of stress that it suddenly became really hard to coom or it took long time when I can remember it was not always like that as in the early teens I could cum three times a day in 30 seconds. Edging can be fun but something has been literally destroyed for a decade+, tho I feel healthier as I age and if I had a woman I could rewire myself to cum faster and without hands.

Not really. It's extremely embar and you meet absolutely rock bottom sickos. You're not flirting with a girl. You're listening to a woman sib about how the only way to hold her depression at bay if having simulated rape sex with strangers because it makes her feel less powerless about the real rape she experienced. This is absolutely not some bimbo stacy saying "um I like giving head tee hee". You're running porno addicts and dudes who crank their hog in parking lots.
