I have scurvy

I went to the dentist today with tooth and gum problems.
- Teeth felt like they were gonna fall out and wobbled
- gums were inflamed
- blood whenever I brush or eat
- ulcers between the teeth
- mouth tasted/smelled like deemsters...all the time
I was anticipating an expensive surgery. However they informed me that I had scurvy due to a vitamin c defficiency.
Now Im upping my vitamin C intake, should clear up in a week.
it just trips me out that I have scurvy...ya know?

Just eat fruit and have a good diet in general and you won't need supplements.

I honestly didn't think people in the developed world got scurvy. Seriously, dude? Vitamin C is in so much stuff!

me neither...but somehow I mustve just overlooked making sure it was in my diet for a few weeks. things have been hectic lately and there has been much eating on the fly at restaraunts, and many missed meals....often times I'll eat once, maybe twice a day and dont get all the food groups.

even if you floss like once a week you'll see a huge improvement.

Very true acidic, my dentist said that what makes your breath stink a lot of times is that the plaque acts like a splinter in your gums, and that when you floss regularly you "pull them out"
Makes your mouth not smell like shit anymore. Flossing is a pain in the ass, but it is worth it in the long run.

flossing is more important than brushing. think of it like a deep cleaning rather than just a surface cleaning, then combine the two for best results. i try to floss whenever i remember, sometimes i get lazy though. even a half-assed floss is better than no floss at all though.

It is far better to floss but not brush than to brush but not floss.
What sucks is currently I cannot floss...at all...without severe pain. Gotta wait a few days for the ulcers to die down.
