How do I make it so my teeth don't end up like this? Is

Considering that is the mouth of someone who has repeatedly taken meth, I think the biggest thing you can do is not take meth.

you don't get blazing white teeth just by flossing and shit, but it also doesn't mean that your teeth are fucked, judging by your post I guess you are fine

if you want giga white teeth just go to the dentist and the doctor will clean you up

not terribly worried about the color just as long as they're healthy

Chill out dude, nobody has supreme white teeth just by brushing them 3 times a day though nobody get teeth like this either, it's normal.

But if you want to whiten your teeth, here is a video to help you : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBfRLBuAyg4

The biggest concern you should have on the hygiene front is to care for your gums. The teeth will follow. Step up the flossing and let a dental hygienist poke around once per year.

Regarding tooth color, some people have naturally yellow teeth. It's not necessarily an indication of plaque or disease. Ask your dentist for options.

Yeah I guess I don't place as big importance on flossing as I do brushing. I will try to do this more

I would go to the dentist for a routine tooth cleaning but I recently got my wisdom teef out, and just giving my mouth time to recover before any dentist pokes around in there again.

There is such a thing as over doing it. Brushed twice a day and floss but DO NOT brush immediately after eating or drinking, especially after drinking anything particularly acidic on the Ph scale.

That'll wear away at your enamel faster than any soda will because the food and drink will have softened the enamel up. Come in right behind it with a brush and you'll just be grating away at it. Brush after roughly 30 minutes or longer.

If your teeth are yellow, they are either just stained or the enamel has worn thin enough that you can make out the yellow colored "core" of the tooth. If they aren't sensitive and don't hurt, then you don't need to worry. Yet...

The importance of cleaning is the removal of any plaque which has collected and hardened into calculus. A toothbrush is insufficient to dislodge any deposits which typically form at the gumline behind and/or between teeth. A dental hygienist will have both the tools and comfortable vantage point to easily knock them away and keep them from irritating or pushing back your gums.

If you want a decent stopgap until your mouth heals, try buying Plax (or the store's generic anti-plaque rinse, equally effective) and use it twice per day for a full 30-60 seconds. After a week or two, plaque and calculus will actually have softened enough to be vulnerable to brushing and flossing. By no means is it a replacement for a professional cleaning. It's just that brushing without it is totally ineffective against hardened plaque, so you might as well try something.

Your teeth won't look like that unless youve never brushed your teeth and/or you use heroin

Ok I'll try to floss more and wait a little after eating to brush

Your oral microbial flora also impacts the rate of tooth decay. S. mutans has been associated with dental caries (cavities). I'm not sure how you can change this but I'm waiting for a spray that will inoculate your oral flora with good bacteria.

The best advice is just to brush and floss regularly. As long as you do it once or twice a day you should be fine. Also a huge help would be to go to regular hygienist cleanings at a dentist every 3-6 months as needed. They get into places that you can't with regular brushing.

Huge misconception, meth itself does nothing that really harms teeth.

Being on a meth binge and not brushing for a week, will harm your teeth. This is usually why meth heads have bad teeth.

Anon that would be pretty cool, something to boost your mouth with good bacteria
