Eeeew! That Orbit ad gives me the heebie jeebies. It's like having cotton wool forcibly stuffed into every bodily orifice while Davina McCall scratches her nails down a blackboard.

Would it not leave a sticky tape residue on your teeth? And was this advert not on with the women doing the vice over like a year ago?

And was this advert not on with the women doing the vice over like a year ago? It's BACK! It crept up on me via the medium of Channel 4 and startled me last night during the Rock Hall Of Fame thing. |

I've tried it, but only since seeing the advert (I'm so easily influenced by television, it's pathetic). It wasn't a resounding success and I, along with the Dental Association of Great Britain, would not reccommend it as an alternative to toothpaste.

I just had to have an abcess in my front tooth drilled and the gunk is still coming out. My face swelled up to John Merrick-esque proportions. Going to need a root canal.
Oh joy.
Sorry, not much to do with this advert but I'm really narked off. I've got a hole in the back of my tooth which goes right into the nerve!!
I guess I'll give up cleaning my teeth with a stick.

Going to need a root canal. I have had the joy of one of these. It is like someone trying to stab your brain with a knitting needle and you get phantom tooth syndrome everytime you drink alcohol for the rest of your life. I can't even break sellotape with my teeth, it disgusts me so. |

OOh thanks for letting me know!!
It's not so bad, I have a long history of trauma with this particular tooth, I smashed it 3 years ago through falling over drunk, then the same thing 2 years later.. It's been so knocked about now that the nerve is dead....the dentist drilled my tooth today without injecting me and I can say with honesty that it didn't hurt TOO much. It was more the strange sensation (like you said) of having needles inserted into my tooth.

well, the worst thing that happened to me was having four extractions on one day as i had too many teeth. The numbskull doing it had to inject me four times as he kept messing it up.
Since that time i've always made a point of keeping my teeth clean to avoid having a bad time at the dentist(polishes halo) but i figure that prevention is better, cheaper and less painful than cure, in the case of anything dental-related so the trouble is a price worth paying.
