Your dentist is open on Sunday morning?

"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

pew pew pew

apparently these lazerz are 1watt continuous..


I think basicallly.. they singe your gum pockets slightly to kill the germs and because of the mild burn, you bleed and it causes the gum to reattach and heel against the planed/cleaned tooth..


It's kinda like when you get a laser facial ..  but for your gums.




Honestly,  from an engineering standpoint,  I think this procedure is aight..



But, it's Prolllllly  not needed and an "UPSELL"  for most people..  and a way for dentists to bill your insurance for as much as possible.



For me personally, I haven't had my teeth "worked on"  for about 15 years..

(And yet i have no cavities)




So, I was like,  what the hell..  I'm gonna get another 15 years out of this.

Well that's different..

Technically, braces are "cosmetic.."  as there was probably nothing wrong with your teeth..
