How Are Your Teeth?

Please select two choices including one and only one of the bottom two options.

Both my parents and I have natural near-perfect straight teeth. My father's wisdom teeth all came in perfectly straight, but my mother's were impacted and she had them removed. My father is more Cromagnoid than my mother, so that probably played a role. I'm like my mother in that regard and have impacted wisdom teeth, but they don't hurt and I don't want surgery that I don't need.

I've only ever had one cavity and that was on a baby tooth that has long fallen out. It might have helped that the deep crevices of my adult molars were permanently sealed with a white sealant years ago. So, how are your teeth?

No one can beat my Sisters teeth! They are natural and they look like the teeth came out of hollywood.
I have straight teeth but no where as near as good as my sisters teeth.

my teeth suck I used to suck my thumb until I was 4 or something and I do not drink milk or use flouride so I think I could have cavities. I always brush and floss^^ As far as being straight, they are not too bad I guess.

I had very crooked teeth, had braces, and had to use a retainer. My wisdom teeth were impacted and had to be removed. But all of that was due to being born 3 1/2 months premature. I have never had any cavities or anything of that nature.

My teeth are mostly straight, but two of my molars are missing. I have baby teeth in their place. I also have partially impacted wisdom teeth (on both sides) which aren't causing any discomfort or pain. I don't want to have removed because they are not bothering me one bit. My mom had the EXACT same problems I have, the EXACT same molars missing, two wisdom teeth on either side of the jaw, but she had all her problem teeth removed, I still have mine.

Also, one of my front teeth is slightly crooked. This gives the impression of a minuscule gap.

Edit: As far as cavities are concerned, I haven't had any on my permanent teeth so far. I had quite a few on my baby teeth though, the last one being at age 17.

Had to have braces, but that was due to a slight cross bite, I never had a cavity problem though.

no braces or cavities here, but...
does anyone know of any alternatives to brushing or ways to keep breathe smelling fresh?

YES! Go to your local healthfood store and buy a bottle of liquid Chlorophyll. Drink it and it gets rid of bad breath. ^^ Also you can get natural toothpaste with Xylitol in it that actually kills bacteria and plaque in the mouth

This is a good non-Asian brand called Natures Way. You can find these products in Europe also. This is a good Chlorophyll.

My teeth are almost perfectly straight....the upper front incisors are slightly pushed in at the very center. My bottom teeth are totally straight.

At 44 years of age, I have never had a wisdom tooth removed....and none have come in really. There are two buds at the back of my mouth that are apparently where my wisdom teeth are residing....but no removal has been necessary.

Incidentally, I have a very small oral cavity....and small teeth. My husband is the opposite.....big teeth (we like to call them chiclet teeth for those old enough to remember chiclet gum), and a really large oral cavity.

He can put a whole soda can between his teeth and pick it up to drink out of it....no hands!
All I gotta say to that is.......Ow!!!
