    I love dentists

    Swedish dentists that is.....

    Just visited a new dentist because I suffer from bruxism (teeth grinding) and I noticed the General portions on his desk.....

    We got into a discussion about snus and he told me to just alternate between sides with portions and brush thoroughly when using loose....

    He also assured me that there is no link between snus and mouth cancer and that stopping smoking was the best thing I could ever do for my dental (and overall) health....

    Ps: He goes through nearly five rolls of snus a month ....

        Thats very cool. I had the same experience with my new dentist. He asked if I smoked, and I told him that I had given up, but used a thing called 'Snus'. I was about to launch into an explanation of what snus is, but he smiled, and told me that he was half Swedish, and used snus himself. The advice he gave me was pretty much identical to the advice you were given. Swedish dentists....I insist on them

          Yeah, that seems pretty extreme to me.
          Although I guess since they're just 24 gr. per can instead of 50 gr. (measured) for lös it all works out.

          The Norwegian friend who introduced me to snus would blow through a can of lös in less than 24 hours if we were drinking. Otherwise it would last him two days. But he absolutely pasted his teeth with the stuff, I swear!! :lol: He didn't roll, he'd just do the hillbilly pinch-n-shove.

            I agree...... 5 rolls sound like a lot

            .....He said that his parents send him 50 cans a month....maybe he gives some away to friends?......This is likely considering that you can't get it here and it is much easier to have family send it over than ordering it........but I would guess that even taking that into account he is verging on a can a day....so what is that? 3 rolls?

            I think the last figure I heard was that the average Swede goes through about two and a half cans a week.....

            I do get the impression though that they dispose of portions a lot quicker than the majority of people on this board....

            The Swedish Match site says "Normal use is 15-60 minutes"

            Or alternatively I misheard him completely and he said 15 not 50.....which is very possible...
