Private health insurance ftw. $87 check up and clean cost me about $25 by the end.

Private health is great. had it for years.. but when you need shit done, its still f**kin pricey

i get free checkups/cleans. but everytime i go.. i need something else..

Mine are pretty good.... all original, no fillings, wisdoms out years ago.

I wish they were straighter though, I had braces as a teenager but didn't wear my retainer as much as I should and they moved :(

Used to go for 6 monthly check ups & cleaning religiously but got lazy and haven't been for ages. Should do that again. I only have Extras cover but got most of it back.

I think my parents spent like 10k on my teeth.

Had jaw expanded twice, braces, wisdoms out few fillings all white and a permanent wire on my bottom jaw but other than that I think they are pretty darn good.

I'm a bit anal when it comes to dental care. I could never go out with someone with yucky teeth.

Ummm..., how about that article on Today/Tonight Corinne, where they showed "Snapon Teeth"???

Pretty impressive! You'd never know if there were yucky teeth underneath until after the wedding day!!! :ph34r:

it's basically like a wearing a cap/hat while you are sweating alot..

bacteria grows

and turns acidic causing problems over time

and during the 12 hours whatever you eat and drink increases the acidity around the snap on and gives more food for the bacteria> eventually leading to more problems

as u said it... more perio problems and caries

if you were to CLEAN after everything you eat and drink? may work but "may" is not good enough haha

I get a government fund every 2 years worth around 5k. Covers all except cosmetic ie. bleaching

Protect your gums as poor gums leads to bad infections, gingervitus and then leads to your teeth decaying; ultimately periodontal disease.

I've got side impact wisdoms that will eventually need to come out... 4 figures to get it done fml!

i had the same shit... cost me 2.5k. had all 4 wisdom teeth out at once. my face swelled up like a bitch. couldnt eat nothing but yoghurt.

i had braces on as a kid and then the wisdom teeth decided to come up on the piss and push my bottom front teeth into eachother so got them out real quick. still have a wire in the bottom behind my front teeth to keep them from moving tho.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
