RE: Around 3 years of being vegan now, and some thoughts on the subject.

in #writing6 years ago

Sorry to hear about your tooth problem! What exactly do you have? I don't think that people get dental problems due to the vegan diet specifically. Have you been to a dentist to ask about that? I'd be interested in knowing! I'm doing fine with my teeth until now, and I actually just made a video about how to make your own toothpaste with coconut oil and baking soda, and my dentist approved =) Great post!!

Thanks for the empathy. :) And I'm not sure.. For one my teeth feel kind of sensitive to the cold and certain sugars and foods. So perhaps not enough mineralization. I'm not sure what the solution to sensitivity is, but I think mineralization might help.. Besides that.. Just like gums getting sensitive from time to time usually bothers me a couple times a year, it's not that bad.. But it is concerning.

I don't really either, I think it's more people not taking good enough care of their teeth.
And no I usually only go to the dentist once every couple years for a cleaning. I have never really had any dental work done and I tend to try to avoid dentists and hospitals.

Glad to hear you're doing well with your teeth! That's cool you made a video, I'd be happy to check it out if you have a link. And thanks! Glad you liked the post. :)
Oh also, were you going to send me something on discord or did I miss it? I never got back to that last message of yours, sorry about that! I get a bit overwhelmed with messages on here sometimes.
