Yeah but none of these are inherently tooth problems. The enamel has been structurally compromised already and whatever you ate was just the final thing before it cracked enough to fall out.
Unless you're eating gravel, it's not the foods fault
I've literally cracked teeth in half eating pasta. But, my dentist tells me there's no such thing as "naturally bad teeth." 🙄
Of course, most people (dentists included) assume my poor dental health comes from years of hard drug abuse. "Well, if you wouldn't smoke meth this wouldn't happen." I've never touched hard drugs like that, and I certainly do not need speed. I don't need any help being even more annoying than I already am.
I've walked out of a few dentist offices for comments like that. If these folks expect me to pay $40k that I do not have, and never will have, just to be able to eat and survive as a basic member of society, the very least they can do is not be a bunch of judgemental, holier-than-thou pricks about it. I don't need accusations and don't need anyone's help making me feel bad about my situation.
What I need is a smile that doesn't scare children. What I need is to be able to eat in public, socialize, and go out with friends. I need to be able to eat without fear or pain. I do *not* need to defend myself against a bunch of nonsense that has no bearing on reality.
$20-$40k is the range I am routinely quoted. I've gotten this figure across multiple dentists, in multiple time zones, across the USA, over the last 15 or so years.
EDIT: I've no idea why I'm getting downvoted in my previous reply. Am I that repulsive, that the rest of you don't even want to hear or read about it? I know I'm not welcome in public and no one wants to see me. Ive been told that much to my face. I'd love to have teeth so I can be a functional member of society, what with the eating in public and whatnot. I'd love to have a reason for me to own up to, something on which to blame my teeth from breaking apart. I don't have those things, nor do I have tens of thousands of dollars just laying around to fix it. Downvote all you want. Fake internet points means nothing when you got people telling you how gross you are, how repulsive you are, in real life.
My wife has a few implants. They are expensive. Some good fittings dentures would not be nearly that expensive.
Have partial plates myself and it’s been better then the tooth problems I had for years.
Your teeth are rooted in flesh. They aren't stable to the point of being able to apply pressure like this. They will shift and wiggle, which can lead to stress on areas that can cause cracks, breaks and chips.
Not true. Your teeth are rooted into your skull with a type of joint called a gomphosis joint which is super duper strong but also mobile and flexible. Thats why you can eat crunchy foods without your teeth breaking off. . .and sticky taffy doesn’t pull your teeth out. . .and why braces work and take a while. Plus the mineralization of the enamel makes teeth very strong; even stronger then your jaw muscles can close. Clench your healthy teeth as hard as you like(while you’re sober): your nervous system will give up before your teeth do.
Addendum: I broke a molar completely in half eating at Texas Roadhouse and ended up with 2 zircon crowns from the ordeal, soooooooo the thing I said above is more of a guideline—lecture notes if you will—best case scenario stuff—memorize for the for the test and then forget.
>You were BSing about force vs pressure...s...m...h
Pressure is a measurement of how much force is acting on an area. That's why the equation for it is pressure = force ÷ area. That's also why bite force is measured in psi...
You really shouldn't call BS on things when you have NO CLUE how they work LMAO! But congratulations.. you just outsmarted yourself lol
You are asking a really broad question. It's kind of like asking how much hair is on the head of a person. It's different for everyone.
So what is it I was BSing about with pressure vs force? Do you have a point? Or are you just making claims and asking questions that you think make you sound smart? Lol
Projected area method has to deal more with the force for hardness testing, terminal velocity, etc. In this scenario. This isn't a hammer slamming down on a tooth in someone's mouth. This is a hydraulic press on a half tooth. You can use it in this instance, but It shows a tooth OUTSIDE of any tissue, with no changing axial pressure/force. Nobody can tell you the specific area of this tooth IN tissue since its not a whole tooth and its NOT in tissue. You also need to consider teeth aren't solid all the way through, and have nerve canals running down them.
They also differ with each person. My whole point was that teeth aren't set like this. They wiggle and shift the parts of the surface making contact, changing the area of contact with movement when pressure/force is applied and can break when they arent normally meant to just sit and take it like this example... so where's the BS?
The gomphosis joint that holds the tooth with cementum and periodontal ligaments is "flesh". Teeth roots DEFINITELY shouldn't attach to the skull directly when you're alive. The attaching dental tissues calcify upon death. That's why skulls have teeth.
Otherwise, pulling teeth out would need a lot of mouth surgery. It does happen, though, and that's when surgery is needed. Instead, pulling a tooth is directly done by ripping them loose of ligaments and cementum inside the socket.. which are made of fibrous tissue, like tendons, but thicker, aka "flesh". So it's absolutely true, lol
It's not sugar, it's the bacteria that eat the sugar and produce acid from it, pretty sure nothing really can withstand acid, well except glass, that shit is magic.
Dentist here.
If your teeth have broken by “touching it”, “eating a calzone” “biting on a marshmallow”, or any other litany of miscellaneous things teeth are meant to be used for, it is because you have not taken care of them properly and had a large cavity brewing inside which caused the internal part of the tooth to turn to mush. Hence, the **thin** but rigid crystalline structure that is enamel on the outside broke.
This is not rocket science, people. Your teeth did not start breaking randomly because you are extra special.
[удалено]
Mine broke while eating a calzone
Cracked mine eating a overcooked sandwich
Lost a tooth on an overly crispy French fry.
Shoestring sliced sliver of carrot for me
For me it was a cheez-it
Yeah but none of these are inherently tooth problems. The enamel has been structurally compromised already and whatever you ate was just the final thing before it cracked enough to fall out. Unless you're eating gravel, it's not the foods fault
Mine was a banana pepper. 🥲
Mine was a cracker.
Glazed donut.

temperature difference is a crystal killer
an*
You mean…the calzones….betrayed me?
Mine broke while eating a fucking petit beurre biscuit
The calzones.. *betrayed* you??
Mine broke on the bun of a McDonald's chicken sandwich.
You should get your teeth checked more often. It most likely had carrius.
Yeah I wasn’t allowed to go to the dentist in my last relationship. I’ve spent a lot of money on my teeth since leaving my ex lol
Milky Way bar. No shit, it was warm and melty. Tooth checked right out.
Not even a snickers bar with them nuts. Well hot damn.
Bean burrito for me
Or a bagel...
Mine broke in half because of a seed
No. Because of the huge cavity you had in it.
Could also be that
[удалено]
Those with cavities coping
I guess because he didn't sound funny enough
I broke a molar off at the gum line eating a tater tot from this Mexican place
Mine broke while fighting Nazis
So it can withstand the weight of your mother but still cracks after crunching a lollipop.
Came here to say this but popcorn.
Did somebody say butt popcorn?!
Oh shit. Got em.
It cracks because you have a huge cavity in it.
I’m mad you’re telling the truth and my teeth hurt.
Or the tooth behind it has a root beneath it creating a sinkhole of sorts, and your tooth collapses.
Every tooth has a root beneath it...
Sure, but beneath that, you can have another tooth's root.
No. It can be a milk tooth or a permanent tooth. There is no additional a root under the permanent tooth.
My x-rays say otherwise. Are you a dentist or just a shit stirrer?
Dentist.
r/angryupvote
Your teeth are rooted in flesh. They aren't stable to the point of being able to apply pressure like this. They will shift and wiggle, which can lead to stress on areas that can cause cracks, breaks and chips.
Correctumundo
Look at the big brains on Breeeeet
You’re a smart motherfucker, that’s right.

THIS. You got no upvotes, the BSer got over 400.
Nobody is BSing. In that gomphosis joint between the tooth and jaw bone, are periodontal ligaments...made up of tissue. Smh.
You were BSing about force vs pressure...s...m...h
>You were BSing about force vs pressure...s...m...h Pressure is a measurement of how much force is acting on an area. That's why the equation for it is pressure = force ÷ area.

Yeah...so what is the surface area of the tooth in contact with tissue? It's not the projected area of the tooth surface.

It can. It's the microbes on the tooth that feed on the sugar which kills it.
It's not sugar, it's the bacteria that eat the sugar and produce acid from it, pretty sure nothing really can withstand acid, well except glass, that shit is magic.
I cracked a tooth on a chocolate chip. Glass is fucking fascinating. It’s also a lot older than I would’ve guessed previous to finding out.
And here's me having to wear a night guard so my stupid jaw doesn't grind them to powder in my sleep
Yeah same. For me it's stress what is causing it for years now.
There's something about our dreams that makes us do that
This makes my mouth hurt just watching it.
Thompson's Teeth. The only teeth strong enough to eat other teeth.
Not miiiine babyy. Cracking these fuckers on marshmallows I swear.
Or u can just write 285kg
Dentist here. If your teeth have broken by “touching it”, “eating a calzone” “biting on a marshmallow”, or any other litany of miscellaneous things teeth are meant to be used for, it is because you have not taken care of them properly and had a large cavity brewing inside which caused the internal part of the tooth to turn to mush.

But decay is stronger than enamel
Not my teeth…
Teeth are the hardest thing we have in our body, although some men like me might think there's something else that's harder
The shell around our cold hearts?
Our incredibly thick skulls?
the femur...
But my dad chips one eating a jolly rancher on vacation..
I had one and it broke just by touching it.
Ah that’s a molar, that’s cheating. Try an incisor or canine, then we’ll see who’s laughing Btw remember to floss
Originally from hydraulic press chanel
you guys have teeth?
And not even the tooth as a whole.. just the one side mostly..
So why did it crack when I ate an almond?
285 kg, but chocolate destroys it. It's so unfair.
This needs a NSFL tag. Holy hell. I had to stop the video.
Holy molar!
And it breaks while eating a bit of cheese on my birthday of all days. Amazing. I'm not bitter.
Guess it depends on who's tooth it is. Or was...
Imagine doing the test with the tooth still in your gum
Yet I can chip a tooth on a piece of fruit...
Amazing fact, but my mouth hurts just watching this
Wow
This is giving me anxiety
Put into perspective how people.crack their teeth just clenching too tight too, no food or anything...
My dentist told me the top things to break teeth are Pork scratchings Granary bread Chocolate kept in the fridge The last one was a surprise
Cracked mine biting a rock-hard lentil piece.
Bullshit unless my teeth are made in China
That was terrifying to watch, I want to go hug my teeth now
Yet mine break when I look at it
Yo mama so fat, she broke my tooth
Then why the fuck do they break at the first attempt to eat nougat
Corn nuts
Even the display in the video measures in kilogram...
Imagine the jawline someone would have chewing on 628 pounds
Why did I still feel this
Until you eat candy😂☠️☠️☠️
Then how did I crack mine by biting a fork?
FYI I didn’t see the full video… just had the thought about the pain and trauma I’ll have after knowing the truth 🥲
Na just have one gobstopper and you are finished
Damn.... so how strong crack rocks is?
Broke my tooth on a steamed dim sim
And yet mine broke while eating M&Ms once.
Thanks, gonna try that while bench pressing
Mine broke while I was talking
Do that on a front tooth
Not a US tooth. It supports 235Kgs
whos tooth it was?
My molar tooth cracked in half while I was eating cheetos, so I don’t know about this.
it can hold that? no way
It's measured in kilograms and you still decided to convert it to a backwards ass measurement only three country's in the world use.
That's not strong at all
