You said you have "fewer cavities." Any cavities at all is poor dental health.
Which is fine. Why you don't brush isn't the point. It's the fact that you don't brush.
I did not say I had fewer cavities, I said that was the benefit. Do you actually read posts or do you just skim them?
Well that answers that question. You skim, because I clearly said that I can't do it often. Because it causes me severe pain, so I have to limit the number of times a week I do it.
Wouldn't it be cool if you actually read my posts and asked me about myself rather than made silly assumptions?
Oh well, too late now.
Me: I mean, if you still get cavities and gum disease then what benefit are you really getting?
You: Fewer cavities and less gum disease.
Also you: I did not say I had fewer cavities
Lol, what? So you don't get cavities? Or you do and you're just grasping at straws here.
I can tell you're flustered, so I think I'm just gonna duck out.
Have a nice day man.
I have not had a cavity in quite some time. Believe it or not, I know more about my own health than you do.
