Anyone that doesn't scrape their tongue has a terrible palate. You can't naturally taste food while constantly having gunk on your tongue.

Tried to get my old roommate to floss. He lasted three days before he stopped all together. Another story. My friend thst didn't believe flossing was that important went to the dentist soon after that and told him he needed to floss because he had gum recession. Lol. When I go to the dentist, it's easy to tell I'm probably one of the few patients that takes care of their teeth. Lots of compliments from the hygenist.

Not him, but I figure those issues were in the vein of killing off the helpful microbiome in his digestive system, with harmful opportunistic microorganisms taking their place; causing a slew of problems, ranging from autoimmune type disorders to neurological issues.
Don't fuck with your gut, anons. It is literally your second brain and the beginning of most processes in your body by nature of absorption of nutrients.
If at all possible, avoid antibiotics. But if you must, after your treatment, make sure you take plenty of probiotics and foods that help in the re-colonization of beneficial microorganisms, and avoid foods that promote the growth of harmful microorganisms (like avoiding tons of sugar so that you don't get a Candida overgrowth, ect.).

while you should brush several times a day, I dont really think it matters at fucking all if you floss. my dad chewed tobacco for 30 years straight, didnt floss and had less than perfect brushing consistency. his dentist not only couldn't tell that he chewed tobacco but said his teeth were in good shape for a man in his 50's. First time he went to the dentist in probably 20 years, kindof a sham industry if you were born with decent teeth and take care of them / dont drink soda by the gallon

You may have stomach bile issues, have chronic heart burn off indigestion?
Could also be tonsil stones. Next time you go to make your way to the bathroom, grab a flashlight. Open your mouth wide, force your tongue down (not with a utensil but your tongue muscle), say AAAAA and flex your throat, this should expand your tonsils and the tiny holes in them should open up. If you have any larger stones formed you should be able to see them with no issue. You can take a q-tip and press down, starting from the base/back of the tonsil and move towards the hole to try and force them up and out if there are any. You may see blood on the q-tip after doing this--don't worry, you're fine. If you see no stones: give the q-tip a whiff and check its color, if it's green or yellow, and/or has a putrid smell, congratulations, you have nasty tonsils and that's the source of your bad breath. Go an ENT.

You'd be retarded to not take antibiotics in these situations. But on the other hand, I once went to the doctor for some general throat/sinus infection (mostly just to get a note for work) and they prescribed me like 4 different antibiotics to take. I took none of them and recovered in 2 days, they would have been completely unnecessary and fucked up my gut for nothing.

Yes, bacteria can be replaced, but the process takes a lot longer than you'd think and the more often you take antibiotics the worse time you'll have restoring your gut biome each time. It also doesn't change the fact that you're crippling your immune system by not letting it adapt and fight things off itself. Not every infection demands antibiotics and the idea that it does is why they're so wildly over-prescribed.

Everybody has different levels of oral health they inherit from there parents and that guy could have shitty gums. They started with the most common solution, brushing and flossing twice a day, and when the problem did not resolve itself escalated the resolution to a prescription toothpaste that they may or may not see a kickback from. It isn't like you can't look at your gums for yourself and see if they are recessed or not either.

No, the problem INVERTED. My gums started out as inflamed and that was a problem, so I got on the routine they prescribed me and the inflammation was CURED, at which point then my gums were "recessed" which is literally the OPPOSITE problem. Inevitably, I'm sure they would tell me to brush or floss less and then eventually tell me how inflamed my gums are. It's just an endless cycle of money extraction.
