#teeth mention

Thiiiiiiiinking about food in regards to Caretaking.

I touched on it a bit in my (first?) this or that whump post, but like. Yeah....

The classic soup and/or tea, trying to bring some warmth and strength back into a weak & shivering whumpee; some do it out of pure tradition alone, but still the love is true and it's gently steaming in that mug or bowl

A badly feverish whumpee's hitch of relief as they take a first sip of cold juice where you can tell it's such a relief to them to hydrate a little since they're just absolutely burning up

a Whumpee who's forcibly had teeth removed or have had them aching for a long time in bad conditions finally given something soft by a kindly caretaker after being rescued. Warm soup, fluffy rolls, apples or potatoes baked soft, just finally something that doesn't hurt. Caretaker will do more of course, but Whumpee is already grateful to the point of tears at what they've already done

A stoic, stern, or hypercompetent Whumpee expecting the bare minimum if any care from anyone else with a sore throat so bad they can hardly speak being surprised with ice cream or popsicles by Caretaker, getting them to break down their emotional walls a bit

Caretaker gently soothing a pukey sick whumpee through nibbling on some crackers or sipping some ginger ale

A medieval or fantasy Caretaker growing and brewing chamomile tea for Whumpee's awful chronic headaches, stirring in honey and lemon, drawing curtains closed and re-soaking the cloth over whumpee's eyes when they bring the tea in on a tray

okay, so another little ‘update’ as to why i’m not writing as frequently as i’d like to ?

i’m currently in immense pain because i’ve got a wisdom tooth coming in and my appointment at the dentist isn’t until thursday the 26th..

it’s appeared out of nowhere and i’ve no clue what to do until the 26th, just been getting worse everyday for a week now? and now i’m in agony because of it

i’m currently a 1000 words into the next sin2kwin request but i’m also on the brink of tears, so please bear with me x

trying my best while pushing through the pain, taking two different sets of painkillers to try and get through it atm, but my mouth is in agony

(sorry for the mouth/teeth mention, wanted to explain why i’m still behind!!!)

There needs to be a teeth emoji. Not this one 🦷, like an open jaw, or with like vampire fangs or something. Sort of like this. I would specifically use it for when I say I'm gonna eat someone's art. If anything knows how to make this happen, I'm all ears.

It obviously doesn't need to look exactly like this, I just had this drawing on hand already

Here’s some dental related headcanons because my teeth are my biggest insecurity

Florida has literal shark teeth, but he takes decent care of them. Maybe it’s not daily but he does brush them often enough

OG 13 have strangely large canines and sharp incisors and premolars

New York dodges the dentist like a pro due to dental shame. He’s insecure in the fact he hasn’t taken much care of his teeth, especially after a dentist made comments about how many cavities he had to fill for him

California prides himself in his teeth. He takes very good care of them since he’s always been praised for his smile(motherfucker 🥊). He buys anything that’ll improve his teeth

Utah makes sure every kid in his house is at least brushing their teeth every day. The ones who don’t live at home anymore gets the questions of “are you brushing? Behind the teeth? Down to the gums?” when they call

Ohio has buck teeth. He’s not very insecure about them but he doesn’t take kindly to comments on it

Colorado definitely lost a tooth or two to sports, but otherwise he keeps them clean and healthy. Any lost or chipped teeth are taken in stride

Illinois has had literal dreams of his teeth falling out, anxious since he has a history of poor dental hygiene(he was depressed alright? It was an effort to maintain them)

Alaska’s teeth are actually good. California needs to know his secret

Massachusetts has crooked teeth

North Dakota has crowded teeth, where his upper cuspids kind of sit over his lateral incisors. He got it fixed though

Lots of the states have yellowed teeth for various reasons, food stains being the prevalent reason(smoking second probably)

Many states are missing or have replaced teeth. Here are some examples

Rhode Island has that amalgam filling in his left first molar, and is missing both his top canines(also silver)

Pennsylvania has a bridge(traditional) on his lower right teeth his. The crowns are on his canine and first molar

Georgia lost all his central incisors. He got replacements made with composite resin

New York has several fillings(lower second molars, upper right premolar, upper right first molar, lower left first molar). The older ones are filled with amalgam while the newer ones are composite resin. His right lateral incisor is missing

Alabama born(?) with hypodontia, specifically missing his upper lateral incisors

Colorado chipped his right central incisor and lateral incisor. He also shattered a premolar from getting slammed on his head in an accident and it grew back imperfectly, creating a very small gap in his teeth. Also his lower right cuspid is missing

Louisiana is missing his lower right lateral incisor

Ran out of steam but yeah

for reasons i dont feel comfy disclosing here, ive been able to brush my teeth twice a day for a few days now, and it's like. offputting? to have such clean teeth? my teeth feel slippery and the inner flesh of my mouth feels weirdly tingly and my gums sorta hurt. i feel like, somehow, im brushing TOO MUCH for what my mouth actually requires. then, after i eat something, i can feel all the stuff it leaves on my teeth, so i kinda wanna brush right away but im pretty sure im not meant to do that so i dont. still just twice a day- once right after waking up, once right before going to bed, with at least decent thoroughness (feels like 5 minutes, to get absolutely everything) for both

this is coming from someone who hasn't consistently brushed their teeth more than once a day for 5 years. i would go weeks, even months without brushing my teeth a single time, because my self neglect is fucking awful. i feel like i just came home from the dentist except now it's constant. this is completely alien to my usual way of living and im not fond of it

I had a dream last night where my teeth fell out, which happens pretty often because I'm anxious about how my wisdom teeth are fucking up my bottom teeth. The thing is, it happens so often that in the dream, I was able to put it together that this only happens in a dream, so I woke up within the dream, with my teeth in my mouth. I still had my fallen out teeth in my hands though. I think I saved them to use in an art project. Then I woke up for real.
