Wellness Wednesday for July 19, 2023

The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:

  • Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.

  • Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.

  • Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.

  • Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).

Looking for any dentists out there.

I recently started having a lot of gum sensitivity in my teeth, like eating any sweets or anything even remotely cold is painful. And if left unchecked for awhile it hurts if I eat anything. I went to my dentist and he recommended I try this Tooth and Gums Tonic

To his credit, the stuff does work! My teeth are way less sensitive when I'm using this regularly. The problem is that its $40 for a bottle, and one bottle only lasts me about a month and a half. I feel like I'm getting ripped off and was wondering if anyone on here knew of any cheaper alternative to this tonic that could help.

Get toothpaste with nano hydroxyapatite, and mix it with your regular fluoride toothpaste. It'll do wonders for reminiralization and sensitivity.

It's essentially the same mineral form of calcium that's already in your teeth, in a form that easily bonds with your enamel.
