well, now we know why your teeth are falling apart. I've never had a sweet tooth, and the only hook sugars had on me was via alcohol.

With that off the menu, the only thing remaining to make total happiness in my mouth is getting these damn wisdom teeth out. One of them half died, and the dentist (serbian) said "it's ok, just leave it there" and recently after Marks and Spencer fancy potato chips, laced with maltodextrin and idkwtf, suddenly the "ok" half a wisdom tooth is like toothache, but not a normal toothache, the chemicals in those chips made the nerves tweak constantly, and I already use potassium nitrate containing Sensodyne toothpaste because of my chips and nerves, and after the industrial waste crisps nothing stops it, not lidocaine, not acetaminophen gel.

Getting my wisdom teeth out will be amazing. My lower jaw is very squashed up and a couple of decades of way too much mouth breathing, despite my knowing better (again, blame alcohol, mainly) it has impacted the look of my whole face in a negative way, my cheeks have sunken down and I want this fixed, so it's taking a lot of my attention to build the habits.

The only sugar that I consume in any sizeable quantity anymore is lactose, and that doesn't feed bacteria in the mouth that produce tartaric acid or promote enamel eating bacteria growth. I've been off the sugar so much now that one time eating starchy food I can taste it in my mouth for days, and I hate that taste.
