I took piss-poor care of my teeth when I was a young teenager.

That was a bad idea, and I now am quite obsessed with brushing my teeth.

I keep a toothbrush in my car and my backpack because you never know when you are going to need it.

That, and because girls like a guy with clean teeth.

Lets just say that unfortunately because of my oral hygiene habits when I was a teenager, my mouth will be the site of the next gold and silver rush in about 50 years.

I played it smart. I never brushed, causing my teeth to rot and fall out. Now, I have no cavaties, no fillings, and no need for braces.

No fillings, had braces, and no wisdom teeth removed. However, I did have 4 premolars removed before I got braces so there'd be room for everything.

I still have my wisdom teeth although my dentist bugs me every visit to get them removed.

Never had braces and I still have all 4 of my wisdom teeth (2 of them impacted...). I should get them removed at some point.

Dentists are my one great phobia in life. I can't imagine being awake when having a single tooth pulled much less 4. I have enjoyed my years on this planet and am not ready to checkout yet by risking being knocked out in a dentists office since I hear that is actually a pretty risky proposition compared to a hospital where they have people dedicated just to watching how you are doing while under anesthesia.

Exactly - you're going to wish you had them removed when they start coming in, get infected.

My teeth have always been terrible. My parents never had dental insurance, so I didn't visit the dentist too often. The result? I have a full set of upper dentures at the age of 26.

No, they have been in for 30 years or so.

you don't have to be totally knocked out. just go for some level of sedation.

One filling on a baby tooth that fell out a long time ago.
No braces, ever.
I need to have at least one of my wisdom teeth removed, it is cracked but causes no pain so it stays for the moment.

I like HATE going to the dentist and even though I know I should have that tooth pulled I put it off continualy because I don't want to have to deal with the pain of having it removed.

How do you know if you'll never have to have wisdom teeth removed? I've never had them and I'm 25 with no signs of them coming in.
